🥇 BANNER Taking a Risk - Pays Off!...

[CRUSADER]

Shaun7 is visiting tomorrow for a guest hunt. He hasn't been out for over half a year. I didn't want to raid my best option & I wanted to take a punt elsewhere, just incase it was a better option for us. I wanted us to have the best chance tomorrow.
It was another failed crop field & I decided to go deep into the field following the small areas that hadn't grown. Little did I know that this random path would take me over an object that I always hoped to find but thought I wouldn't. SS once gave me a tanged version to fill the gap but the type I found today is 1000 years earlier.
It was less than 10 minutes into my search & I had a Neolithic Arrowhead in my hands. At that point, no pun intended, I knew I could blank from now on! (one of the oldest UK manmade finds possible)
Early Neolithic Lanceolate/sub-triangular flint arrowhead - Circa 4000-3000BC

6 scrappies (not pictured)
Near Blank 17th C Halfpenny Token
4 Lead Tokens
Royal Artillery Capbadge
Tudor Corner Book Mount
Bits...

I know little to nothing about points, but that one sure looks like it was made by a skilled craftman. Congrats on such a beautiful and historic find!

Looks like I'm late to the game for my banner vote. Congrats!! AMAZING FIND!!!

Will this wind up in a museum? Would like to hear that end of the story as well.

Well done!

It will only end up in the Museum if I decide to loan it to them.

Thanks for all the banner votes, I'm pretty sure your never seen me post another one!

A real super point, I like the stone that it is made of.

What an absolutely beautiful looking point! It's just mind boggling to try and imagine the last person who held it before you found it.
