Found this morning on a 4 site 6 hour hunt, Found in a planted cornfield in Pike county I have been wanting to look in for years but it was always no tilled or in beans that were drilled. Also found 2 broken celts and a nice birdy along with several broken points on this ridge!! What kind of point is it and what kind of chert?

Thanks for all your comments and congratulations. You people are what makes the relic collecting community fun to be around :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
 

Very fine find. That's a great piece of material as well. Congrats on the great point.

Hippy
 

That's worth heap big wampum. I can make one, most flintknappers can (more or less), but a real one
like that is a site to behold! That is the hardest point to find (in one piece), period. White quartz, flint, whatever you
want to call it is so beautiful. The edge almost has an opalesecent quality to it with the light shining
through it. I know guys that have spent their whole life looking for one and never done it.
By the way, were you on the western bank of a creek when you found it? If so, go back, you may find more!!

Congrats,

What a beautiful piece ... major congratz on the find and making the banner!
 

Yeah that material is fine. Congratulations again. :thumbsup:
 

I live for finds like this one, vicariously through TNet.
It looks good on the BANNER :headbang:
I will bet a bob, the maker of the point was just as pleased with the result of his handicraft
as you were, when you first found it. :notworthy:
Surely the use of this point was for something special?
(No M-i-L jokes please ;D )
Cheers, Mike
 

Im not sure how felsite would flake, so my bet is on Chalcedony... I personally know several collectors who would give their left organ to have a point like that... They will be at the Temple Texas artifact show in June.... Dwayne Rogers will be there as well... Im still keeping my hopes up to find one like yours... CONGRATS!

A very nice arrowhead and complete ... a deserved Banner. :notworthy:
Congratulations! :wink:
 

i seen some flintridge flint just like that anyway awesome find one in a life time find there
 

Went back today and found a broken Dalton drill, Pictures to come later. I have no idea how I missed it the first time other than it was behind a corn stalk, and a couple of average points.
 

very nice point---bravo! :hello2: :laughing7:
 

Congrats, what a superb find.

Molly.
