First Stage Texas Folsom!!!!

TBrandum · May 15, 2017

Words can't describe the feeling I had when I discovered what could be one of the best folsoms ever found in this great State. I was on a hunting trip with my two boys and some good friends in Cenertal TX. We were going on our second day of the hunt. The day before we had all picked up something either whole or broke. My expectations of the hunt were fulfilled way before I was blessed with this great point. My 5 year old had found his first point the day before and my 13 year old had picked up two nice pieces earlier in the morning. I enjoy just getting out and looking, this trip had already been one of the best for me, getting to spend time with my boys and hanging out with great friends, I really couldn't ask for more. All of our discoveries were just the icing on the cake.
And then it happened! We had came to a spot that just looked good, and felt right. I will be honest in saying that at no point in these last two days was I expecting or even imaging that one of us could or would stumble upon a Folsom. They are almost that rare, we all dream of it and have it on our bucket list but to think that it would actually happen, well it's really just not a reality, at least till now! I will reflect back on this day and weekend for the rest of my life for sure. The point is 2 3/8" long and 13/16" wide, it just over 4 mm at its thickest and less than 2 mm between the flutes. It will make an appearance at the Temple Texas Artifact show on June 3, if you are in the area come on out, some of the Artifact displays at this show are amongst the best in the country.
