Got this today at an orange grove in central Florida that they are pushing up to build houses. I found a nice point while driving through this grove about five years ago. I went back to the same spot and it had been scraped and there was a big dirt bank about ten foot high. I looked around and there was nothing, not even flakes. I looked up the bank and near the top I spotted something. I went up the hill and it was sticking half way out of the sand and I said "Please let it be whole". I pulled it out and got butterflies in my stomach and couldnt stop smiling. Its 3 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide and its thin. There was nothing else to be found, no chips,no pottery,nothing. Best one Ive ever found and I cant stop picking it up and holding it.

Really nice find. Good detective work! Congratulations!
 
You should visit this site as often as you can, the world needs to see this early history! Beautiful find.
 
That's a beautiful find! I'm here in Tampa, happy hunting!
 
Great find. It's different than the ones my Dad used to find here in Indiana. Congratulations!
 
Heart flutters.
 
What tribe would that have been from? Anyone have any idea as to the period of time it dates from? That is a really nice one!
 
Man that's nice
 
Wow that's a nice arrow head
 
Lucky you went back! That would have been lost forever. Could be so old that their were not tribes as we know them just native man. Nice Fla Knife artifact. Want typology and age post it in the North American artifact section. Good for you lookindown :hello:
