Found my smallest point today. Pure luck that I spotted it!

So tiny, I always wonder how something was even made that small holding it in your hand!

I wish my photography skills allowed me to show how fine the serrations are on the edges. Would be a real beauty if not for the broken "ear". I can only assume it's a bird point, but it seems small even for that. I think the Creeks used rivercane blowguns but I don't know if the darts had projectile points.

Nice little point. True arrowhead. I was wondering about that little white piece up top in your last post.

Considering that Point type is thousands of years before the Creek Indians I doubt they used it. It looks like a very small Dalton Point in that first picture. That would make it about 9500 BC.

Cool find. I think this is the smallest I ever found. It was laying on top of some sandy ground. It may have been longer once I'm thinking and they redid it to a blunter point, but maybe not??.

Lots of those here in Texas. Folks call them "Bird Points". Don't know? Was with a girlfriend that found one at Long's Fish and Dig on the Llano River. No damage on hers, at least for a couple of minutes. Ugly story...

You thinking Dalton due to the ears?

I lived in Texas for a time, A. When I was there I often heard "Don't Ya Know everything's BIG in Texas" Most the time I herd it, was from some fella tell'n a gal from out a state in a bar I would hear line I recall. If true, how's come you have so many tiny arrowheads

My smallest, I had the feeling that there had been a little bit of laughter in camp when this was made.

Small points like this where used on cane shaft or reeds, to get small game. Most blow gun dart's were thorns or things that could be made sharp and light at the same time. So many think that these points were used in a arrow and bow system, when the bow and arrow was not around at that time. All along the state's of the gulf coast they used gar scales and string ray barbs. That small of a Dalton is a very good find 🎯

I definitely need to get my eyes checked out before I start hunting points this small. I always try to check out every flake and piece I spot, but in some areas on our farm there are a half dozen flakes per square yard.

This is the smallest one I have ever found. Found it on top of a gopher hole after a good rain.

I have a spot that I have to get down on my hands and knees to look for points because you can't spot them standing.

Don't suppose you would share a source for that acrylic box?
