Todays find

[Airborne80]

I took charlie out this morning and found a couple of cool items. I believe that this one is a very small bird point. I find many identical points in the same area They are the same shape, color and the exact same size. It is along the shoreline of a summer fishing site for the Indians of this area.

That's not an artifact, it's a natural stone in the shape of an arrowhead. In general points that size (true arrowheads) had to be made fairly thin and sharp, although they could be made with super minimal effort as when they would simply retouch a flake but none the less they will show signs of having been worked. You have found a few decent artifacts since you've been here, ones that all of us agree were obviously artifacts, take this beach pebble and compare it to those, there's a HUGE difference.

I agree AND disagree with cannon on this one. I actually have a bird point probably no larger than the one in this post, and it's every bit as thick as it is wide. It's so thick it makes you wonder how it could actually pierce through prey. I can do a scan of it tomorrow if anyone is interested. I do agree however that what you have here Airborne is as cannon says, just a natural stone. But just maybe we are wrong, some of us need lots of evidence to be convinced.
