Folsom point!

Re: Folsom point!

Well, I don't know what I did wrong to not have the picture here, but will try to figure it out.

Re: Folsom point!

M, Thats not very convienient for viewing,,long as it's already on PB, why not paste ?

I could stand to see a Folsom...Most of these other posters just show Clovis & Plainviews

Re: Folsom point!

M, looks like our posts crossed slightly out of sync...
If it's on PB, your real close.

Folsom point

Re: Folsom point!

I apologize for all this posting. I have never done this before, but I found this arrowhead at McFaddin Beach in Sabine Pass,Texas. We went to the convention they had in Port Arthur Texas where Thomas Hester and Ellen Sue Turner, told me I had a great find. It is about 2 1/2-3 inches long and about a quarter inch thick. I loved how it is fluted all the way from the top to the bottom, with the small nipple on the base. I still cannot beleive it was whole. Just wanted to share my treasure.

Re: Folsom point!

Now that is a true find. Like hitting a jackpot. I'm still looking for my first Folsom. Heck, I'd be happy with a Plainview.

Re: Folsom point!

That point is in the top ten Paleo points I have ever seen. I cant remember seeing a real Folsom as nice as yours. I am thrilled you would share it. That bad boy is twice as old as the Pyramids of Egypt. Great find! Awesome find !

Re: Folsom point!

WOW, thats a nice point!!!

Re: Folsom point!

very awesome!!!!!!

Re: Folsom point!

Thank goodness you got the handle on posting

Points with a story associated are even more impressive, to have a piece of paleo America that is now lost underwater is divine

Tks very much for the show

Re: Folsom point!

A awesome, incredable find! Congrats!

Re: Folsom point!

i really did'nt know until this posting at how widely this point is found in the state of texas.but i looked in t@h's book and for such a coveted point that is rarely found now day's and time covers most of the state so i'm going to find one this weekend at the fest. yeah right ttthhhppppt.what a find congradulations.

Re: Folsom point!

I like to harp on your on your research Pat...The Pedernales may be the most common type point found in TX
BUT >>>>> The classic Clovis has been found in every corner of the State ( including offs**** ! )

Thats quite a fact considering how " thin " we are told the po****tion was at that time.

Dont get your hopes too high for one at the Digfest dig...all they ever find in that valley is Plainviews
