KILLER Heartbreaker

[BobGuy]

I almost found my new favorite point yesterday in my best creek. I was actually thinking on my way there that this creek was due to produce a killer point and boy did it! I almost died though when I saw that the tip was knocked off but it's still a nice point! I think it's a St. Charles which would mean that it's 8-10,000 years old...

Haha my first reaction was "thank you God"!

That sir, is a true heart breaker. I hope there's more like it in the area for you to find that are whole. Good luck!

Even though it is broken, it is still an incredible find.

Man what a shame and the break looks fresh to. I bet something stepped on it. Maybe a deer got it before you did. You can always get the tip restored doesnt look like much is missing. If there is current in that creek get yourself a broom with the plastic spines and give it a good sweeping then after the water clears have another look I bet you might find something else. Its still a killer find.

That is Still Insanely Beautiful In The Water And Out...

Fantastic find.

 

[BobGuy]

I stood there for probably five minutes just soaking it up before I pulled out my phone and recorded it!

Still a killer find! What a beauty!

Awesome find, that would make me smile for days.

I'd love to see a close up of the notches, something about it makes me think it's late archaic or early woodland. (I'm spacing the name, Kings Corner Notch is what comes to mind and I know that isn't it. Strait sides, rounded notches with a couple more flakes than you would typically see in St. Charles/Dovetail. Neanderthal would know.)

I'm out of town for a few days but will get a close up and post on Friday.

It's a beauty! Good eye to find it in the creek!

 

[captain redbeard]

That's a great idea rock, I never thought of that!

 

[BobGuy]

Here's a close-up of the notches..

Great find. Very cool. I'm with Joshua though in that I think it may be a later point. The notch style, the lack of basal grinding might mean it's a later style.

From what I can see of left lower picture, top flute suggests extreme impact fracture, that baby was thrown hard. Still super exciting find with a bit of mystery.
