Title: Scratched one off the bucket list this week . . .
Post by: indianasmith on May 21, 2020, 04:55:47 PM
I found my first arrowhead when I was five.
I started seriously collecting them when I was 12 or so.  That's 46 years ago.
The one thing I've always wanted to find was a classic Clovis point - the oldest reliably dated artifact type in North America, made at the tail end of the last Ice Age 12,000-13,000 years ago and used to hunt mammoths and other prehistoric megafauna.

I have four severely reworked, whittled down nubs that MIGHT have been Clovis points once.

But Monday I found my first ever classic, double fluted Clovis.

I'm still walking on air!

Nice one Indy. May you find many more in the near future too.

well done... :thumbup:

Imagine hunting a mammoth....puts nipping out for a loaf of bread and tub of marge into perspective.
