5/11 ohio creek hunt

[creek astronaut]

hunted a long stretch of creek i hadnt hunted.started at noon and as of 545 i hadnt found anything, no brokes, no flint,then i started to find a few flakes of coshocton and decided to hunt one last gravel bar.i will let the pics tell the rest of the story.

Very impressive point! I'm with Dorkfish on thinking it looks more like Zaleski flint, I am fortunate enough to have a decent collection of Zaleski artifacts and your material looks exactly like the stuff. Congrats on a gorgeous point!

thx for all the nice comments everyone.Dorkfiish you could be right about it laying in the creek and maybe it lost some of that super shininess of zaleski flint due to creek stain or patination.Tn Mts i will get some more pics up this evening with a red background

there you go Tn Mts,for some reason i couldnt get the red background shots to come out good,think i need more natural light,so i didnt include those.did you kick some butt fencing?that sounds like good entertainment.

Zaleski would be my guess as well, it looses its sheen in certain types of soil, Greg you are da man!

Yep, I'm convinced it's Zaleski.

That is about as good as they get . Big old black material with great flaking. Thats just am awsome point in my opinion.The prettiest one I have ever found was a big ole black point with good flaking. Congrats again and thanks for sharing the pictures. Yeah I kicked some butt in Sabre but am feeling I will pay for it tomorrow. : ) Thanks ,Greg Rocks

Now that's a nice point! Those large Archaic side-notched points are a favorite of mine. Nice pics of the creek too, looks like a nice place to be!
