I don't have any Texas points, but I really like those tiny ones that don't even cover up your finger-tip!...very cool!

Here's some of the better relics from a three day hunt in the Texas hill country. I have a few more points from Texas but have yet to photograph them.

I love Texas artifacts and have put together a nice little collection from the state for my States Collection.

Here's some pics of my tray and some individual shots. I had a lot more single pics but I lost a bunch of them when my computer crashed.

I always love seeing that fire popped point..although it kinda looks satanic..LOL.

Amazing collection! How/why did they put the holes in the bottom of those?
Several of the others look a lot like what we used to find on the Nueces River when I was a kid.

Thanks Blair. It took me about two years to put that tray together through trade, people giving me some, and buying a few.

The "holes" in the Frio are fire pops from being in some extreme heat at one time. The air pockets in the material will heat up and cause pieces to flake off.

I can't help but wander if Reap's fire popped point was done by ancient fire or modern Forrest fires.

Good question ... there isn't any noticeable patina that would make that easier to tell.

Here's some of my more recent ones from South Texas (Zapata County).

Guy. Townes. Ray Wylie. Willie. Jerry Jeff. Sorry, but those are my favorite Texas artifacts...I couldn't help myself. Texas singer songwriters are a huge part of my other love...music.

Man, I'd give about everything I have just to be able to see Townes play live. He died about a year before I ever heard of him

Yes ma'am. What I wouldn't give to hear Mr Mudd and Mr Gold From his sweet lips. I also dream of seeing Guy before its too late. He has some great stories of life with his wife, Susanna and Townes on YouTube...

The day I found Texas country (I'm hesitant to call it country since Nashville has ruined that name) was a very happy day. I've spent the last few years devouring a generation or two of music wondering if somewhere in a past life I may have lived in that wonderful state. How does a hillbilly girl from WV love the story of Texas written in these songs? I guess it goes along with my same love of Appalachian music which tells my story here in the mountains so well.
