My favorite Florida artifact. Here is one out of my Florida frames...

I’d say the one on the right came from a skirmish between a colonist and a native, both fired at the same time, the shot from the musket passing through the arrow as both continued on towards their target. But being interrupted in flight both shots missed and both lived to fight another day… or it was a fossil inclusion that fell out but where’s the fun in that

I've always loved the style, material and workmanship on those Newnans et.al. from Florida.

Gotta love that Florida chert, I have a few with holes like the right one.

That's a killer Relic, I don't think you need me to tell you that 😏. Looks to be in the ballpark of 4 inches.

Almost 5" (4-13/16") Just wish it was made from some of that "Florida Candy"

Those are some killer points! The newnans are a really interesting points, Ryan gill at hunt primitive on YouTube does some experimental archaeology with some. He would socket them into river cane instead of traditional hafting. It’s interesting to see them actually being made and used in a hunt. I made some smaller 40gr arrow head sized ones and I will try them when I finish my cane arrows.
