Iuka, Ms
Here's a couple teaser pics for you folks! I found this outstanding Pickwick point after walking three long miles in a new creek system this morning (You know how the "Fever" will do you!). I had found a nice broken yellow jasper Pickwick, a pretty bird point with the tip nicked off and a pocketful of flint flakes along the way, before stumbling upon this wicked piece. It is 3 1/4" long and a beauty! These pictures really don't do it justice. The material is like glass, high-grade stuff! I was able to get some in situ shots but I will have to post them a bit later, so stay tuned. I forgot to put my memory card back in my camera before I left and I was only able to store 5 shots on my camera's internal memory. Luckily, I was able to get a couple shots of my best find of the day. Once I retrieve those, I will post them. I will also try to take some better pics when I have more favorable light. I went on to find 7 more broken points, several old medicine bottles and a brand new canvas camping chair(slightly muddy) still in the original package! You just never know what you will find....... :tongue3: :headbang: I will post more pictures soon, so in the meantime, enjoy, thanks and HH! :tongue3: :headbang: :hello2: :hello:

Today's Finds are for the generic assortment of finds. You feel to post here! Many of us use this area for our posts since it gets the most visibility. I like seeing the points every bit as much as I do the coins. Thank you for giving us all a chance to see some tremendous artifacts.
 

Congratulations on finding such a beautiful point. Since I'm not too familair with arrowheads, and nothing like that could be found on Long Island, I was just wondering what the value of that point would be?
 

Very nice point. I am going to start field scanning this year.
