I went for a walk today at the mouth of a creek and didn't really have much luck but that all changed very fast !!! I really can't describe in words how I felt when I looked down and saw this base sticking out of a one or two day old footprint . It took me ten minutes before I finally pulled it out very slowly . I still can't believe I found this it doesn't seem real . A guy like me just doesn't get that lucky . I looked around to see if someone was playing a joke on me but didn't hear anyone laughing . Nothing I've found comes close

That is a Banner for sure Dude.:thumbsup: I know how much time you have put into the hunt and it paid off just like I told you. I knew from what you where finding there was one out there just looking for a home and I'm glad it found it with you. You say you found it in a foot print, so never think a place has been walked out and I would hate to know that I stepped over that one:BangHead:, but it happens all the time. This could not have happened to a better person, you be the Man:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Awesome find painterx. That is one of the finest Clovis Points I have seen in quite some time. Congrats on the find and the Banner. Very well deserved.
