Found this morning on a 4 site 6 hour hunt, Found in a planted cornfield in Pike county I have been wanting to look in for years but it was always no tilled or in beans that were drilled. Also found 2 broken celts and a nice birdy along with several broken points on this ridge!! What kind of point is it and what kind of chert?

Excellent find Buckhunter.
I would say it's a Clovis and the material could be an Agate of some kind or it could be Chalcedony.
Definitely a killer find.
Everyone needs to nominate this for the banner. They just don't get much better than that folks so lets get it up on the banner.

WAAAA, GEM QUALITY. i have a vein of felsite just like this 2 feet wide, it looks like someone has mined it in the past. i should go back and look at it. its just above the platinum clay. cuts across the creek like a gate way. you look forward and it goes in the bluff, look behind you and it is gone for about 200 meters. it should still be there because its so hard, that's why the Clovis liked it. i made jem stone from it years ago, it is a semi precious gem stone. your point is soooo nice, very white, i envy and congratulate you. you know the controversial theory is that a white guy dropped it around 10,000 years ago.  thank you , |

That's worth heap big wampum. I can make one, most flintknappers can (more or less), but a real one
like that is a site to behold! That is the hardest point to find (in one piece), period. White quartz, flint, whatever you
want to call it is so beautiful. The edge almost has an opalesecent quality to it with the light shining
through it. I know guys that have spent their whole life looking for one and never done it.
By the way, were you on the western bank of a creek when you found it? If so, go back, you may find more!!
Congrats,

I live for finds like this one, vicariously through TNet. It looks good on the BANNER I will bet a bob, the maker of the point was just as pleased with the result of his handicraft as you were, when you first found it. Surely the use of this point was for something special? (No M-i-L jokes please  ) Cheers, Mike |

Im not sure how felsite would flake, so my bet is on Chalcedony... I personally know several collectors who would give their left organ to have a point like that... They will be at the Temple Texas artifact show in June.... Dwayne Rogers will be there as well... Im still keeping my hopes up to find one like yours... CONGRATS!

Can anyone post a picture of an Allen point? I have no idea what that is. A collector came to my home and said he was not sure it was a Clovis after looking at it, he said he thought it maybe a type of Dalton.

This is an Allen point found in Kansas. Note the oblique flaking. The flake scars are a little hard to make out on your photos, however there appears to be no oblique flaking which rules out Allen as the type. 11KBP |

Made the last trip to the site today, corn is way too tall to see but a few feet. Did find a few pieces and I will post them later, but nothing really great. The surface hunting around here is about over till July when they turn up wheat fields or replant pasture ground.
