More recent finds in Tx

[josh34]

Here is a point I found recently. Not sure exactly what it is, someone told me it was probably a Victoria (formerly early stemmed lanceolate) here in Texas. It is in excellent condition. The base is ground about 1/3 of the way up, very fine flaking, and a needle point. I'm not sure if its a little fluted on one side, or just a thinning flake. Easily my best find ever.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Jay, I'm fairly new at this, but I've found most of my stuff on lake shorlines, creeks, and rivers. This area of Texas has sandy soil with not much rock, alot of points are made out of petrified wood. I'm not sure exactly what material this is, just a dark grey chert, with almost a blueish tint. Colin, my heart skipped about 8 beats, Josh

josh34, killer point man. i would like to know how long it is though. If you placed it on the ruler between 5'' and 10'', that would be great! thanks bud. oh yea, keep those sweet arrow"heads" comin, well thats what she said.

 

[DANGLANGLEY]

That is a perfect arrowhead!!!...I bet your heart did a back flip when you saw that one laying there...Great find!!!!!!!!!!

 

[steve71]

i'd say a plainview. sweet point i'd say bout 250 300 dollar range maybe a little more.heres some more tx stuff

 

[kwaknet]

Definitely not Victoria! An untyped late- Paleo/ Early Archaic type that remains unnamed. We find quite a few in HArris county creeks.

Super find Josh! It looks just like some of the examples of Victoria points in the last overstreet. If the shoulders were not there I'd say Plainview. I'm not to familiar with point types down there, but that's my guess.

Super nice find!!! I don,t know much about Texas stuff,though both my brothers live there and hunt artifacts. I would say plainview. If I found that in Ohio I would say paleo,regarless I would call it Beautiful!!! Jeff
