I would find about 20 brokes to 1 complete.

Also, I had several 5gal buckets of brokes I finally had to dump out. It just got too much to lug around.

It's the Callaghan ranch 100,000+ acres lowfence heaven. My buddy has a spot on it and I go down with him. If I had a spot on it I would live there for 4 months out of the year!🙈 This is his 2nd ur on it. Like I said we hunt in the morning and evening so I only look for a 1hr or 2 mid day😪

[Copper87]

I love to deer hunt and look for points! I don't know what to do!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Patton]

Edwards county surface finds today. Spent some time looking in a field we just burned.

[Copper87]

Recent finds in STX, that white one sparks some interest. No birdies this time

Those are neat. i am not familiar with types from up there. They are quite similar to Archaic types from Texas though and likely the same age. 3-6,000 years old.

[gigem95]

A friend found this one yesterday. Any idea what type?

[SoTXAg06]

Some of the suckers are sharp. Specially the two next to the bigger spear head.

[E.TEXAS4LIFE]

Was wondering if anyone could identify these. I'm not sure if they're anything but I'm thinking maybe some kind of axe and then 2 beginner points made by a Indian kid in training?

[Robert]

What does the Pro's say about these. Found in N Wise county on Big Sandy Creek laying on a rock near a spring. They are not made out of the same material as other points that we have found in the area

[Robert]

A couple more Wise county finds

[Robert]

Any experts out there?

[Mikege1174]

Does anybody know what this point might be. It was found a couple of weeks ago in Starr county.

After following Garguy and Johnny's digs it has motivated me to do some looking. I found this today in a creek by the house, it looks like the bottom half of a broken one to me what do y'all think? It's tough hunting here in NE Montgomery county thanks

Ok, I have been interested in arrowheads for awhile and decided to do a search and came across this thread.
My lease is in Mason County and we have a couple creek beds and a big canyon I call it.
Where do I even start to look???

Maybe a Gary projectile but the base is more square, tough one the shape is a little odd like its spent some time in the water, regardless a cool find.

Thanks!

I have had a frame of broke arrowheads in my office for a long time. Not many folks ever have a comment about them. I decided to bring a grind bowl to the office for display. For whatever reason everybody comments and wants to know about it. I was even asked if I made it to look that way lol. I thought I would post pics for the masses.

[Patton]

I want to find a big metate like that so bad, very nice

[gigem95]

Any ideas on this one? Brazos county.

[Patton]

Buddy found this one in Johnson City, could somebody ID it please

thanks, couple of heartbreakers for sure. You got any idea on what this notched point in the middle may have been? It has always stumped me.

Went to Edwards County this weekend. Hiked up the mountain to the 'Indian Cave' as we call it. Must have been a cave they sheltered in during bad weather, absolutely tons of flint up in there. Really need to do some digging in there.


However, I did find a nutting stone. Has the little craters on both sides of the rock.

And the cave (which reeks of aoudad ram)

Awesome find! That cave is just itching for a wiggle pick and a shovel. Keep us updated if you do any digging.

Unfortunately, I believe that point is modern made. Maybe someone on here can correct me on that.

Yep maybe he found it in a gas station at Johnson city. If he persists in sticking to the story that he found it, maybe someone set him up and planted it where he'd find it. looks modern to me also. That cave looks awesome!

I didnt want to be the one to break the bad news..... i think your friend is yanking your chain. Now on the cave! thats a dream dig right there. there may be 6ft of pristine goodness in the floor of that sucker.

Man I thought so too.. But when he told me he found it on the ranch road, I thought authentic. After seeing how you phrased your comment asking for more pics, I pretty much knew. You guys have the true trained eye that I'm still working on.

I'm going to grill him on it and see if he is pulling a fast one or really did find it.

I know the cave has been dug before, as my uncle did some digging and found a cola can about 1ft down. There is also an old sifter up there and two shovel heads, (not my uncles- from previous owners 12+ years ago).

However I don't think it has been truly 'excavated' and all points/artifacts found. The nutting stone was found amongst a pile of other similar sized rocks, so it has certainly been looked over a time or two.

[Patton]

More pictures of the cave. In picture 1, you can see there is a space that looks like it was carved into. The reason I think that is it is not full of holes and cavernous like the rest of the cave, but much smoother. That little nook is also the spot that would be most shielded from the N wind. Perhaps an old warrior and his woman would hole up in there.

Picture 4 shows what the walls of the cave are like, very porous limestone loaded with fossils. I'm hoping one of the higher holes has a cache of Clovis points in it that hasn't been found

Edit: I looked at all the larger rocks in the cave; but **** it, is that something dished out in bottom left of pic 2!? I need to go back...

[SportingStan]

My folks bought us a place in SW Edwards County and I found our first point on the surface in a dry creek bed. Although I have hunted arrowheads some since I was a kid, I'm a novice so wondered if there is anything noteworthy about this one. Thanks!

[Johnny]

The General...yes, that does look like something that is dished out. Go back, get that sucker and get pics!

Sporting Stan, that is a worn out point so hard to tell exactly what it was...maybe a possible Ensor. Great find none the less! That area is loaded with old camps along the creeks n river (Nueces) out that way.
