It took 18 years: Clovis today (Updated Pic)

[lostlake88]

Dusty field with foot prints everywhere, an arrowhead hunters nightmare senario. Right?? Well this was the condition today. I was tired, wanted to go home then I saw a flint chip lodged in the ground, I thought 'what the heck I'll pick it up'. The earth moved above it, so I just flip it out and there it was a 3 7/16" Carter Cave Clovis arrowhead. I couldn't believe my eyes, and neither could my buddy Chuck who was right there when this unfolded. There still out there! HH

Congratulations LL on one beautifulllllllllllllll artifact ... that is one of the top 5-10 pieces that I've seen on the artifact forum and is definitely deserving of the banner ... again, Congratz!

Re: It took 18 years: Clovis today

again superior point, maybe the best personal find I've seen on Tnet. Why do indian artifacts rarely, if ever, make the banner? I'm not trying to start anything here or derail the thread, just wondering. That clovis for example is most likely older than everything else combined on the banner. It's also probably worth more than many of those combined as well. Just my opinion but 10,000 year old artifacts trump hundreds of year old manufactured metal.

Killer St. Louis clovis. Lucky you! Seeing as how it's not broke I'll bet those farmer's just made it to that layer.

Re: It took 18 years: Clovis today

Wow! Holy Cow! I'd be beside myself! I've been looking for about 25 years and haven't found one yet. That's a find of a lifetime! That's the kind of thing that makes me pick up every chip. You just never know what it's part of. I love when the dirt pulls up around it when I pick up a "chip".
