Does anyone know the range of the corner tang? I know I hear central Texas, but could they be as far west as the Big Bend area? I'm just curious to if I have a chance of finding one in Sanderson.

The range is still listed as Central Texas North into Southern Oklahoma according to my references. I have never heard of one being found in Northern Mexico, or as far West as Big Bend, where the geology becomes Igneous. I think one was found at Langtry, Tx. which is not too far away, so if you did find one at Sanderson, it would likely be at the edge of range extension. Dwain Rogers wrote a great book on Corner Tangs (Corner Tangs over Texas), but the range has not been confirmed by an Archeological study that I know of. I know some have been found in our area here, and we certainly remain hopeful of finding one.

There have been some found near Kansas City, Missouri. I have found one complete and one broken.

One was found on lake texoma

I know of three found in the Midland- Odessa area of West Texas, I found one in Howard county about four years ago. The ones in West Texas appear to be smaller than their central Texas counterparts.

I found a tang in a small shelter, on Independence creek, south of Sheffield. So you might find one near Sanderson as well.

my dad found a corner tang in salmon, idaho underneath a big overhaning cliff when we were mule deer hunting....but it was a different style of cornertang than what i have seen in pictures from texas

Hi Luke, Your right, Idahoians do things differently. For those with the money book, check page 913. Frankly the one on the bottom right is a deadringer for my find that in TX I was calling a side tang.

So if y'all enjoyed seeing Idahoian corner tangs...take a look what they do to BASE TANGS..page 906. I think I have a coupla hundred of them. !!

I found a 4 inch classic corner tang in southern Dimmit County about 2 years ago. They're few and far in-between down this way.

Here Here I Have A Real Good Friend That Found About 3 to 4 inch Tang From West Central Flordia Its Clear Coral Found On Top Of The Ground In Front Of A Turtle Hole And It Is A Corner Tang This Is No JOKE!
