GroundS.KeepeR · May 7, 2010

While going to my sisters house.. I decided to take the back way/roads in..Im talkin the were you haul your own water country..well i drive real slow hoping to see wildlife! While i was driving i was staring along the hill banks on both sides of the road..As i was driving.. I noticed a triangle shaped object what i thought was a leaf turned out to be a Point!! Boy was i :headbang:

..Below is pics of all the Flint i found in this one area...Ohh i also seen a Turkey :tongue3:

I need some help on the bigger point/? ..was this getting ready to be a Arrow? Or do i have a complete spear/?..
Thanks for looking..

Forget wildlife there Eagle Eye. Was that road cut or a do you think maybe and ancient trail later traveled by current inhabitants? Lots of fine material there looks to be a camp and water near by.
Very cool. I think the last may have been a knife blade and maybe later on was to be worked into a point but they never got to it. Still a nice blade. Its crazy they could see something in that stone and knew it was hopeless and maybe chunked it or just used it as a expediant expendable tool if materials were close.
Nice hunt sir and glad you were on high ground when the rains came !!

Thanks for looking! Yes the road was cut..Not a very wide road at all ''with little banks coming down from both sides..I was also looking for flint

..I didnt notice many flint pieces along the way,Just this one area..And yes i looked and there was a creek ! not a wide creek but more like a spring fed creek..Im in the works of finding out who owns this land..My sister knows everyone so that helps..This would be the first time finding flint without anyones help! I am hooked :icon_sunny:
