Congratulations Newt. That looks aw some. Great insitu and pictures. You have got to be stoked. Any story to go with this banner button pushing piece? Insitu of Clovis is not something you see very often. That is as far back as you can go in America on man made tools  Thanks for sharing. HH TnMtns |

I'm terrible about the stories.
I've been hunting this creek for about 12 yrs.. The earliest point until today was early archaic.

To everyone:
Thanks for the Banner Nominations!
I never thought this would go there. I like this as much as finding the point.
This is such a great community we have here. I've personally met 2, if not 3 new friends off this site. And someone new this next week, I hope. Anyways, I've learned more here about treasure hunting than years in the field.
The knowledge base is astounding.

Congratulation on your find Newt I'd love to find one of those someday, but knowing me, I'd probably just step on it a break it!  |
I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.
I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

There are actually a lot more of these around than you may think. Clovis like most other forms of human who traded goods, just like humans today, for over a thousand years in the USA Canada and Mexico. If they would have had a better writing system, would have had their own version of explorer who found the new world for them. Clovis usually looked for deposits of materials they used such as churt, flint, other rocks that would chip and leave a razor edge. Where ever you find these huge deposits, you can bet there are Clovis points around. There's many deposits around Lake County CA where there were actually large numbers of Clovis who manufactured the points then distrbuted all over California in markets or Clovid people would trek to where the points were made and traded and even put in orders as to how many they wanted. Even Clovis had an employment and market system. If their frontal lobes of their brains were any bigger, they would have been planning trips to Mars long go.
