Hey all, a little context. I grew up working on a farm in central Minnesota in the summer, and always had my head down looking for arrowheads and agates. One day, a friend and I were walking up a gravel road on the farm, and simultaneously spotted a beautiful obsidian arrowhead...unfortunately for me, he got to it first, and that's when the compulsion really started. So for the last 40 years, I get out when ever I can whether it's for an hour on my lunch break or an hour or so before it gets dark, but had never found a point. I have found a few stone tools, but that's it. I mostly hunt streams and rivers. Lately I have to confess, it's been really frustrating, because I was sure that the stream I have been hunting had to hold artifacts, but have been there countless times and hours and never found anything. I had just watched a youtube video about hunting streams and the guy said..when you are hunting streams and gravel bars..slow down..and then slow down some more..so yesterday I was out and would literally move a couple feet..kneel down scan the are for a couple minutes, then move up a couple feet, and so on...and then there it was! I think I sat there for 5 minutes just staring at it before I even moved..lol...I think I was in shock, or was waiting to wake up from the dream. I am still in central MN, and would appreciate any information regarding age, type etc... I know these things are probably worth only a few bucks on Ebay...but to me it's priceless...already feeling like Gollum and his ring...thanks for listening...I apologize for the exhausting message...probably more excited than a grown man should be...All the best!

Perseverance pays off! Is that up there near Mora?
