A few years back I went on a went with my dad. We were hunting about ten feet apart when I came across this point. I said well here is a good one. I laid down my flipping stick knelt down and took my camera out. by this time my dad had made it over to me to see what I had found. With a puzzled look on his face he asked why I would take a pic of that. I took the pic's and said as I grabbed it up and handed it to him, because its whole.

That in hand shot is great Chase. What a great point on amazing toolstone.
Where did you find it? Is that Flint Ridge chert by chance?
Thanks for sharing.

No it was found too far west for Flint Ridge, it could be of two different types of chert. One being Trout Creek. but the better choice and closer source would be Tabletop chert. It is a small quarry in north central Colorado.both are close to looking like the same chert with a few differences.
here is a link to our lithic identification information on both types.

Greg, it's always been the same over the years. He looks at it smiles hands it back and says you remember when we were in such and such place and the deerflys were so thick we had to use shotguns to blast holes through them to see the ground what a good day hunting that was.the arrowheads jumped up into your pocket that day. Boy those were the good ole days
