On one of my artifact hunting trips I bent over to pick up a large chip and when I did I noticed other pieces embedded in the soil. While pulling them out of the soil I could feel the chips grinding against other pieces. Using my rock flipping pole I proceeded to dig out around 20 to 30 flakes of various sizes. Some showed some flaking on the edges and some were just plain pieces that weren't worked at all. This piece was the only finished one out of the bunch. The ground was a white clay type but right around where the flakes were it was stained a reddish color. I have always thought it was somebodies cache of flakes in a pouch that dissolved long ago. Some of the flakes were of this same material and various other material. It's the only cache I ever found and I was sure hoping I'd dig up some great stuff but that's life. I always liked this piece because of the flaking.

Hay Realistone. Beautiful find. Not many better. Look and you'll see that the flaking is Paleo. Compare the flaking with Clovis or Fulsom or any other quality Paleo piece and you'll agree. 12,000 years old. That's what we collect for, to find a great Paleo piece.
