Re: calf creek

Dr. Gomer fo sho! Nice, that is a beauty!

Re: calf creek

Very sweet flint!!!! That is a beauty! Where was it found?

Re: calf creek

Williamson/Bell Co.

Re: calf creek

Im not into the whole restoration thing Cluton.I like my points just the way they are,gives them more character.

Re: calf creek

I'd love to add one of those to my collection someday, nice find! I too would restore it.

Re: calf creek

I actually agree with you! I've been tempted to send a few off, but never have! Great point none the less! Wish I could find one! I am jealous!:) I have a broke corner tang, just the tip, I've even called the good doctor just can't seem to send it through the mail!

Re: calf creek

Thanks Cluton,I yeld a primal INDIAN scream when i found it.Im told its getting harder and harder to find artifatcs like this one.Good Luck,and remember to always dig deeper than the last one who was there.

Re: calf creek

Its very strange that hundreds of people looked at this amazingly beautiful Calf Creek and dont respond?

Re: calf creek

It does only have one ear. Nice try anyway.

Re: calf creek

True,its not complete.Lets see your best Calf Creek G-Town?????????

Re: calf creek

Thats a very nice piece, but in my opinion, thats a Andice, rather than a Calfcreek, but either way, its a beauty & a Killer! Thanks for posting it....John

Re: calf creek

Just being sarcastic there TK. I cant even come close to your one ear. Very Nice. Not sure about the calfcreek/andice question. Havent seen enough to make an argument.

Re: calf creek

I would also say andice based on where it was found

Re: calf creek

What are you baseing that from JF? Ive been told by many oldtimers that its definetly a Calf ceek due to the size.Andice are alittle more wider and larger.Lets ask a true expert Dr.Hester????

Re: calf creek

i'd say andice also. i think calf creek come from far north texas and oklahoma? also looks like the andice in the books, not the calf creeks in the books.

Re: calf creek

whatever you call it, it is still a nice find.

Re: calf creek

Hi Tomb, I baseing my opinion that your point is an andice because of the extra long ears it had, which key out to andice rather than calfcreek(take a good hard look in any recent overstreet guide to see for yourself), as well as its material, which looks to be edwards plateau flint from further South of where calfcreek points generally occur, which is NE Texas, then on North more into adjoining states & further. I would also like to know, did this piece come from NE TX or further South? Thanks for replying to my reply....John

Re: calf creek

John,the overstreet price guide is not very acurate with alot of its points.And as far as point location,their have been many Calf Creeks camps found around this area.

Re: calf creek

My good friend dug 3 mounds in northern williamson county for 10 years! They found 4 andice points and all have been papered! John was just referring to location and area from where your point came! He has a point and my friends andices look similiar to yours! I also have a great friend, an older gentlemen over here in lee county that has found a bull tongue Simpson, that is a se/gulf coast point, so who knows! Maybe it is a calf creek, if you think it is then that's what it is! Calf creek it is, and I need one in my case just like it! I don't care what you call it, it's a fine artifact! In my opinion, alot of these points are the same people just sometimes differently made or resharpened! There was no set instructions for napping points thousands of years ago! How about a calf andice?:) Dont get so technical, it speaks for its self!!!!!

Re: calf creek

Get it papered then! If you think you know then get it on paper! If not who cares what other people think! I was really tryin to make a point that it seems you are tryin to argue it is a calf creek, why argue? If you put it on here people are going to say what they think! Why don't you reread the comment I said and think about it instead of just replying to the posts and making comments that you make yourself look bad! Being a gentlemen will get more comments than being a person who is not a gentlemen! I hope you understand why people don't post on other forums, it's because people like other people who are supportive and honest! Sorry if I offended you, that is not my goal, my goal is too enjoy peoples finds because I know how important they are!

Re: calf creek

I consulted hesters/turners guide, and here is what I found... The andice range covers williamson county, and calf creek points are listed as an Oklahoma/Arkansas type, (and I've only heard of them being found in the panhandle or Oklahoma myself). So baseing my opinion from a re****ble guide I would say that this is definately an andice. I did however use a single guide, which however reliable, is only a single source. So since I don't have another book to compare point finding ranges, there is room for error. In the end though it's your point and you can call it whatever you want, pedernales if it makes you happy lol. Whatever it is it's an awesome point and I would very much like one of my own.

Re: calf creek

You should watch out who your talking to like that ****on.Im not your little step child.!!
