Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Hey Everyone. Post your best find of 2013. This is mine. It is a killer San Patrice with great color and flaking. Not sure if it is a Geneill or a Keithville type. It will be good to see all the great points found this year so please post! Eddy

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

This is #2 Kerrville, found back in July out at TJ's.


On the same trip Idaho found this little gem. Probably not his best point but I thought it was kinda neat.

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

2013 is not over yet at this posting..

I'm heading for the Sgtarr ranch, hopefully to find my "find of the year "

How did you make that?

How did you make that?


On a couple of screen digs with Nacho in the Nueces valley ( reknown for translucent flint ) I collected a few hundred flakes.
Then washed them ( and cooled and washed me off )

drying;

Cut out a design from rigid 1/8 inch acrylic plastic. . . Wash ( then dry )all selected flakes in Muriatic acid to remove dirt and scale not removed by water.
Glue individual pieces on with a good clear glue, like liquid nail clear or Elmers'. Diamond bit on a Dremel to fine trim some pieces for a better fit.

Nacho was a good sport about finding a fake point on his dig !

Foot notes:
All washed flakes shown are strictly my table finds and is only those that pass the criteria of thinness, color and size...Area was rich in all flakes including worked pieces.

Black outline around each piece of flint is very deliberate to make it look like a stained glass window effect. Black roofing caulk

Re: My best of 213. Killer Montell

I think this was my favorite for the year.

Re: My best of 213

Thank you, It was found in west texas, Dr. Collins said it was a "gainey type" projectile. He said they are contemporary with folsom. But others have said clovis so who knows.

Re: My best of 213

EB, No matter what it may be, it's got that look of very old. Beautiful.

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Eddy, here's my best San Patrice.

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Snoop, those are very nice!!

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Thanks guys thought I'd never get a good drill.

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Small is beautiful...
Nice gentle digging too

Re: My best of 213. Killer Montell

Lot of sweat went into finding that one!!! Just browsing point chatter and thought that looked familiar and saw the ACU bottoms haha. Still loved seeing that stick out of that wall!

Re: My best of 213. Killer Montell

Sweet knife on one of the hottest days of the year

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine



Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Nice points Thanks for showing them

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Excellent Chuck...
Too bad the bird point has those terrible ugly discolorations in the flint

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

Thanks. This was my first year.

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

The discoloration on the arrowhead could be left over pine pitch it doesnt look natural to the flint.

My best of 2013

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

WOW these are some really great looking points. Love the detail on that kerrvile knife and nolan. All these points are going to make field grade finds look even more field grade !! LOL. Congrats everyone and thanks for sharing. Happy 2014 finds

Re: Post your best find of 2013! Heres mine

The black stuff is what you are calling "pine pitch"? It is part of the flint because I cant get it off, cant even scratch it off.
