Don't show the most expensive or rare one. Just your favorite. I like the working man and hunters points so I'm showing an old Montell that's been used and sharpened for all it's worth. 1557454504148668918982564331442.jpg15574547508316238257364177971300.jpg

This point is high on my likability scale; its not the largest or the one most others may like.

At 3 inches in length, it has a very symmetric outline, a very pleasing lenticular cross section.

The base is well ground. I recall finding it in the late 90's, while talking on my phone to my then girlfriend who was travelling to Chicago. I found this point and a nice celt that day. I think I had the better day than she.
 

This Rose Springs Crystal point is one of my favorite finds . Eldorado Co N. California .

This one isn’t the top of the list, but it’s close. 3-1/4”, needle tip, not a scratch on it.

I called my family over because this base was sticking out of the ground. I thought it would be huge. I started wiggling it out and told my family it was broke. Then I looked at it and did the happy dance! Very thin, and it almost glows orange:) Anyone know the material? Found in Central Colorado on the upoer Arkansas river.

I realize this isn’t the point of this thread but I don’t see Montell’s too often. I found a very nice Montell in western Kentucky 16 or 17 years ago. It holds my personal finds title for farthest traveled point.
 

It's impossible to decide. Like your kids, you love them all.

Here's a very nice example as my contribution.

Napa obsidian field find.

This is one of my favorites I don’t find many bifurcated points so this was a shocker and it was at a time where I had just moved and we were questioning if we made the rite choice ..... walked down the hill in backyard and noticed a sandbar sticking out of the river at low tide this was sitting rite on top felt like a sign that I was in the rite place and all would work out.
Susquehanna bifurcated point

This Point is one of my favorite personal finds ever because of how I found it. This was the last piece found on an all day hunt back in the early 80's. I hunted for close to 12 hours that day and had found around 30+ Points that day along with all kinds of Tools. As I was walking back to my car at dusk and just barely able to see the ground because it was almost dark and the corn was waist high, I walked by a row and I heard a voice in my head that said " walk up that row". I ignored it at first but as I took another step I heard it again so I turned around and went up the row. I took about 10 steps up the row and as I parted the corn I saw this laying completely exposed. At that time it was my best Flint artifact ever and it's still in my Top 5.
