Nice knives

[quito]

Anyone have a nice knife form they would like to show?

This piece was laying on a table at a local farm retirement auction 3 miles from me a few years ago. It’s just over 4.5 inches long.
The home place was in a very desirable location right above a creek. I asked the owner about it, he said he found it nearby. Only artifact he had ever picked up. I suspect the place holds much more. It’s along the same creek most of the sites I hunt are on.
i couldn’t stay long enough for it to sell so I left a little cash with a friend and got it.

Personal find...Lake County. It's broke about where my thumb and middle finger are at. Found it in a cow track...lucky to find both pieces.
It's right at 6 inches.

(I think I mentioned this one last fall.) Any way, my wife and I were hunting and she walks on the other side of a juniper bush from me and calls out that she thinks that she found two arrowheads. I go around the bush and she shows me these two pieces, and after looking at them I tell her that it's a knife that has been broken in two. Of course she is besides herself and is puzzled but happy. After being broken one side had been laying sunny side up while the opposite side faced up.

This is a nice knife that I found several years back.

No, but I will...

Both real nice old digger. Those had to make you both happy. Was the big one dark side down?

You can see that the dark side would be the side that was facing up towards the sun and the elements, while the lighter side was facing down.

Second to last one is a knife. Awesome find.

Wow. Have to wonder how long it lay there like that.

I worked on a large project at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital in San Antonio back 2001-2. I would stay in Bandera on the weekends and look for points on a ranch with a big creek flowing through it. Found these and a couple of big blanks showing flakes had been struck off them. Nice area with the Hill Country

Found this in a cornfield fifteen minutes ago!

 

[welsbury]

Rainbow stripes on that one,good for you.

 

[sandchip]

Yeah, that's some neat material. Can't say that I've ever seen anything like it. Nice find!

 

[arrow86]

Nice find ... cool material looks like it would be tough to work

 

[Twistedsifter]

I’m not from here, so I can’t say what the material is. I was on the phone with my brother, hardly trying to look for anything when I found it. Laying proud, right on top.

This 5 3/8” knife form is a PF from Limestone Co. Texas. Never knew what to type this one as because the base is ground and has a paleo type profile.

It sure looks like a Windust-Hatwai in Overstreet Twelfth Edition, page 1157...JMHO.
Whatever ya call it, it's still a "screamer."
