Killer Arkansas Dalton, colorful material

[RustyRelics]

This is my best artifact purchase to date. This came out of Randolph county Arkansas. I am unsure of the material, but it looks like Horse Creek chert to me. The beveling on this thing cannot be done justice in the photos, nor the color.

I only paid $30 for it.

That's pretty nice lookin and I think you should be out in your creeks finding them for free.

Cool. Horse creek can be banded as well.

The best one I have found was in Missouri and has a heartbreaking tip chip.

I've found an Adena, and a flake in two years of creek walking. The Adena was by accident.

Thats a great addition to your collection Rusty, and I'm with you on the creek hunting. I haven't completely given up on it but I have had very little success walking creeks. Maybe I just haven't found the right creek yet? But there are fields bordering some of them that are loaded, yet I cant find a thing in the creek.

Looking in the creekbed gives me a terrible headache. I don’t know how anyone finds anything that way

I have eye trouble, so I can't see too good to begin with. It is productive however. I run the contests on Arrowheads.com, and this month will be a doozy. Somebody found a killer, G9-10 un-fluted Cumberland in his local creek. Can't get much beter than that.

I love field hunting, but nothing will beat the one time I was in Georgia. Sand, as far as the eye could see, and you could spot the flakes and pot shards from 25 feet away.

Our creek beds here are the multicolored and loaded with all shapes and sizes of flint and slate. Good for picking material to knap on or maybe you can spot a scraper. I’m mid 30s and like to think I’m in good shape/eyesight, but I’d love to see someone spot a smoker. Maybe if you lay on your belly and scoot around.
This is a color example. Most rockbars don’t have these small rocks like this. Also didn’t find that on rockbar.
