ok I posted this in todays finds an everyone said I should post it here so hereit goes .

I was down along the Border today researchin a lead on a old trail into a campsite , I was out walking along a old wash at the foot of a hill an saw this sticking out of the ground , just the tip but the color was just enough to catch my eye .This is my first arrow head I'm still stoked by it , if you lay it flat it kinda bows`on one side the way it was chipped out but the other side is almost flat like you would expect , it has a shadow going threw the upper part that at a glance looks like a crack but it isnt , an yes it is still sharp.I plan on looking a lil more next time I'm there for another 1 or 2.

PS no it wasnt that color when I found it , it was dirty with tan dirt on it , I just washed it not thinking of taking before an fater pics sorry , lol told you I was excited

Tank, this is a very nice piece. I sure wish you would take some good closeups in the daylight so we could see more of the detail. Sunlight does wonders for these points.

Great find.  thumbsup

 That first arrowhead will be a hard one to beat. It looks fantastic. What a  great find. Much older than metal  thumbsup
Congratulations Tank !

Most people are born as hunters in one way or another. Does it not make sense that we gather as well. Enjoy the hunt and gather wisely.
