So this shows up for my birthday today!

In the four years we've had our farm, I have never found a point in either of our creeks. A few scrapers and a friend found a morrow mountain, but that's it. I wasn't even looking for one today, but look what caught my eye. I ran back to the house to get my phone because this was one in situ picture I didn't want to miss! Not sure what it is, but I certainly do like it! The very bottom of the stem is either snapped or broken very cleanly. I especially like the long flake that goes from the stem almost to the tip!

If you can spot them hiding under the gravel like that you are developing a keen eye for them. Its a huge learning experience to be able to look past the gravel to the 2nd or 3rd layer. I see many more finds coming your way, great eye spying on that beauty, rock

Well I happen to have a great mentor that actually walked my creeks with me, taught me where to look, what to look for, has patiently looked at hundreds of pictures, and answered at least as many questions. You might happen to know him lol!

You may not find many but what you do find are great. You need to make you a good sifter and see what you might find...

I don't look very often and don't look anywhere but on our farm, so I don't know that I'll ever have very many, but I sure do love the ones I have. I just wish I knew their stories. I've enjoyed seeing all the points you have found and shared!

Its always good to have a nice mentor to learn from. When I 1st started looking my friend showed me how to do it I bet I drove him crazy with all of the questions. Now we just get together every once in a while and compare finds. Its still fun.

Awesome point and i know what you mean about wanting to know the history, especially when its a find on your own land. Makes them that much more special to find.
