White's Spec. XLT..... My Eyes
Well I got out before the Ice got here and I hit up the old Field That Never Fails. It was the first time I had been up there since our last plow, so I was mentally preparing myself to pick up the plow casualties. I wasn't doing so hot on whole points... Just found some brokens, A scraper and a nice pottery shard. And then out of a huge dirt clod I saw that beautiful knife sticking out. I couldn't believe the plow didn't get her...It nicked her but she didn't break. Which is crazy because of how thin she is.

Thanks for the look.

Nicked, broken, or not; still great stuff.
 

Neat stuff! That side notch would have been nice. Take another pic. with the flash off so we can see the flaking bud. Congrats!

Wow! That is a thin one! I too would like to see the flaking on that one! Great find.
 

Nice blade Johnny X!! It's hard to find blades of that size and thinness. Can't wait to see what else comes out of that field!

Good luck!

Thanks guys. I'm hoping this Ice storm will break up some of the big clods and open up some good stuff!

I'm in the process of taking some pics of the flaking on that knife.
