Found a dandy yesterday, first one in a LONG time

[mn9000]

I have no trouble finding various stone tools etc on most of my hunts, but for some reason I have the worst luck when it comes to finding points.

My luck turned around yesterday, first one in months! NW Arkansas

That is a dandy, what type would you call it?

 

[coosakid]

Very nice..... It's hard to find one with the base not broke

Redbeard im not 100% sure, I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself can offer some info

Thats a nice one shame the tip is missing it looks like a big sandy to me

 

[arrow86]

Nice find ..... Looks like a Hemphill but I'm not real familiar with points from your Area I'm sure one of the pros will know for sure

 

[tnmudman]

Maybe not though it may be more of a corner notch than a side notch nice material and flaking

What state do you hunt in? That would help in ID'ing your Point.

Lots of scrapers here to the points are scarce. I think a lot of collectors only save the points and leave the scrapers and thats why I dont find many of them and tons of everything else like worked flakes. Not many keep the worked flakes. Thats a nice point for sure, almost all of mine have a tip ding

I'll suggest maybe a Grand...don't know if they are in NW ark...I would think they might be...nice point btw!

Grim I hunt mostly right around the border of SW Missouri & NW Arkansas. Hopefully I'll have a few more points to post soon now that the flood waters are receding. We've been dealing with record rains past 2 weeks & im thinking the hunting should be excellent.

The river in this photo is usually a good 15-18 feet below the bridge. I've never seen anything like it

I think yours is early Archaic, but the names change from region to region to some extent.

Love it

I'm thinking Cache River maybe? Looks nearly identical to the Cache River examples in Overstreet, only thing throwing me for a loop is the fact that the one I found is about half the size of the ones in Overstreet or the examples I can find online

I'm questioning whether those are corner or side notches on your point..I've found so many Grand with corner notches that look just like yours, but far far far from really knowing what I'm talking about Can some say if the mn9000,s is corner or side notched? I'm in NE Okla

 

[mn9000]

Holy cow you're right! Looks almost like one of each-- one corner & one side

 

[naturegirl]

lol!! yes it does!..the angled notch, I have many versions...but then the other notch looks side notched, and I have very few of those...one trait of the Grands is the base will have flaking that is side by side across the base...seems to usually be about 4 "grooves" running the WIDTH of the base, I don't think I see that in your pics..a member named Neanderthal can tell you what you have...he's also the curator of the artifact museum at Bentonville
