Those are sure some pretty points there Southerncamo. The knapper used very high quality flint and much of it looks to be heat treated. Just beautiful.
Are y'all finding all of this on the river or perhaps on a high point nearby? Some years ago we drilled a well in Parker County on property that went to the Brazos. I found a camp on a high bluff overlooking the river with great views. Unfortunately for me someone had already worked it pretty good and there wasn't much left except for chips and a busted mano.

Garguy I have some promising sites to dig, but haven't had time yet. Really need to build a mechanized sifter. One area is a mound along a creek. There may actually be more than one. I didn't see this one until after mowing down the vegetation late this past fall. I've been told that flint has been found near this creek.

We have a family place in OK and in about a 20 yard stretch that is a road heading down to one of our creek crossings i have found 6 arrowheads on the surface. Tons of flakes and everytime it rains i can't wait to get back. Would this be a locations to start digging? It would would be all hand equipment but I've been thinking about getting some shovels, buckets, and sifter and spend a few days in that location.
Would most of the points just be ones that have been washed down over the years?
