Dalton?

[BobGuy]

Hello everyone!

I found this today in a creek and was totally pumped! Can anyone tell me what the deal is with this one?

It looks like a dalton to me. I am wondering if it was modified into a drill or if that is just the way they made some points. Sucks that it is broke but I don't think it was a recent break because the patina is uniform.

I wish we were able to post videos because I take a video of every point I find and love sharing!

Thanks,

BG

Here's a point with the same deal I found, it must be a type of point, or maybe they used them as drills until they broke then they had a point ready in case

Great finds!

Yes, looks retipped as a drill. Nice find, does look Daltonish....

Yea, I think it's weird that they would do that. It seems that both points were perfectly fine sink wonder why they would do that?

I would call that a Dalton and a nice find I think that they used points that had a break in the tip or sometimes they just made drills that way because the hafting worked well on that shape. It's all just a guess!!!!

Those are both heartbreakers. Thanks for sharing.

It has the appearance of a Barber. A Dalton base tends to flare out a bit more, not so much straight shaft. Either one would be a killer find, none the less.
I like the color too. Thanks for showing. Lone Star
