first one i've ever found, the tip is broke, it's pretty big... found it at the lease in Bastrop

Its some kind of a base tang. Very nice! Wish it had the tip!

Buddy found this at the ranch a couple weeks ago. Best one so far

Top pic is mostly gary and some nice ones. several are transitional types between gary and Wells. Middle archaic.

The little side notched point in the center is san patrice and 11,000 years old.

I would really like to see better pics of the broad based red point toward the bottom of the top pic. The flaking is critical to ID.

Thanks for the info! The red point and the white one are the two I was most interested in out of those in that picture. There is an almost unbelievable story behind finding them both!! I'll get some better pictures this weekend. Thanks agian

Very interesting.
Please need advice.

Where to start looking?
When is the best time?

Different techniques looking?

I'm in the hill country. Near Mernard.

Thanks guys.

Looks like a Nolan, on second thought maybe a pedernales

Looks like a Nolan

Start looking in creeks, points collect on gravel bars... also look on hilltops or small rises, prehistoric man camped in these type of places near water. Best time is anytime you can, but always better after a rain. You can just look on the surface which is what I would suggest if you are just starting out.. start looking for broken pieces of rock and Flint. If you do find a concentration of Flint Flakes and Arrowheads you could dig or sift in that area.. Good Luck!

First, you are in one of the richest artifact areas in North America. In many cases the soil has eroded off the hills and left artifacts just laying on the rocky ground. Look at high spots near stream beds that are above flash flood plane. ALL will be sites.
