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.:o
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:headbang:

6 scrappies (not pictured)
Near Blank 17th C Halfpenny Token
4 Lead Tokens
Royal Artillery Capbadge

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!
 

Way to go CRU on a super OUTSTANDING eyeball find! :thumbsup: Congratulations on finding it and for making a most well deserved BANNER!!! The workmanship is gorgeous. I look forward to hearing more about the history of this fine point.

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

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. :o

That is a Solutrean point for sure. I have several , found in the USA but they are called called Hell Gaps Points over here.
