I found this base last yr and nothing else on it since I found it. I took it to the ID with all my other points. I found out some of my tools were actually points and not tools at all. I am only going to post this one for now because it is the oldest one even though it is only a base. Its the only Paleo I have and it was the biggest Heart Breaker. The type of flint used it would of been a great point if it had been whole. Thanks, rock
The small point he took a pic of with his camera, he said it was one of the nicest type in design he had ever seen and might use it later for a ID for an example. I felt honored.

So what type of point were you told the whole one was????
An exhausted Savannah River?
I think that's what I see.. or a Jude?

You know finding a beaver lake is pretty rare. Yet you see them all over e-bay now days . I can guess that 98% of them that were made are now broke. Nice find Rock !

Here is a base of one it is poorly crafted compared to yours.

You found a ton while in Missouri. I wish you would take time sometime and share your impressive collection. You have some nice things. When I started I kept bases then went thru a period of chunking them. Now I am back to keeping them to study before giving them away. :thumbsup:

I have posted pics in the past....

I was finding so many whole points I didn't keep broken ones, I did throw several hundred broken points in a rock garden of previous home but left them there when I moved to Fla....

My best day hunting a creek in Missouri I found 41 whole unbroken points, it was a long hunt, started hunting in morning, hunted till dark...

Well I know its just a base but its a start. Its the oldest one I have found yet so at least I know where to hunt the next time it gets plowed. Wont be done till the fall though.
@ GB no it wasnt either one of those you mentioned. I forgot to write it down, sorry
