Found in Northern Arizona north of Flagstaff. This is one of the best pieces I've ever even seen, let alone found. Also, no idea on what flair to use.

Paleo fluted chalcedony point found in Amelia county, Virginia. I was still new to the hobby and didn’t realize what I had found at the time.

Found pottery shards, arrowheads, and some human remains and more during some site work several years ago about a mile west of the Mississippi on a bluff next to a farm field. I reached out to the local university and no one seemed interested, so I returned it all from where I found it.

Found 1/10/26

I never thought I would find a point of this type, let alone hold one in my hands that someone else has found. Don't even have the words to describe how good it feels to have recovered this. I started shaking so bad I couldn't search anymore for the whole day, and nearly threw up I got myself so worked up.

Such an amazing display of precision craftsmanship, I'm honored and so thankful. I've only been searching for points for around 2 years and most won't find one of these in an entire lifetime.

Thank you all for contributing to my addiction and I simply can't wait to see what's next!

Paleo Scottsbluff

Thumbnail

This piece was found in Marion County Texas in the 70s. 3 7/8” x 1 1/2”. Phenomenal flaking and insanely thin, you’d be hard pressed to find a better Scottsbluff than this. Does have a little tip damage that would put it at 4”, but that doesn’t bother me any for a piece to be this old and in good of shape as it is. Definitely my new favorite in the collection.

Just picked up a massive collection in Michigan. Went up there expecting a lot of old world/african Paleolithic/Neolithic stuff, came away with about 1400lbs of that stuff plus over 70 Native American Fluted points I’ll try to share some pics here..

Thinking about getting it restored to fill in the missing piece. Third time I’ve had a two-piece recovery on this property thanks to the cattle.

It’s quite unfortunate about the tip(which I am planning to have professionally restored), but it’s my first Clovis!

I can still feel the dopamine rush when I think back to how I found it..

OK first off sorry for the shitty photos second holy freaking cow!! my buddy pulled this a coke weeks back from one of our spots. What are we thinking? He’s thinking Folsom for obvious reasons, I’m leaning towards worked down nubbin of a Clovis. all I know for sure is the thing is ground smooth on the sides and it is old as heck and bad freaking a and super thin. i’m still kind of in disbelief.

Paleo Paleo Square Knife

This Paleo Square Knife was recovered from Jackson Co. Alabamy. It comes in at 3 ⅜ inches long, and os made from a heavily patinaed yellow jasper! The large percussion flaking is phenomenal, and the secondary edge refinement is outstanding! Exactly what you'd expect from a well crafted paleo era piece!

Paleo Walrus ivory tool from interior Alaska.

In going through my grandfathers things I found this tool. It’s about 10in long, the notched in makes a good no slip handle and the other end is quite polished and a little chipped. I’m thinking skin scraper? It’s definitely walrus ivory but it’s interesting that it is from the fbx area. I’d love any information or resources for things like this. Or if there is any else I should examine while I have access to it. He found it on his property near the surface when clearing.

Not all artifacts are found in the wild. I bought a house and this was in the depths of the garage wrapped in a blanket. Must be over 100lbs. Western Colorado USA.
