I picked up Mikey and his beer for a ride out south on a exploration . We went to see some of our sites we’ve been hunting for years.. The sand was good but puffed up by the snow, which had melted...Anyway at the first site we walked Mikey found 2 archaic brokies and I found a few flint chips.. Going slow glint spotting on the way out, I spotted a shine (Flint Chip) from the pickup and almost did not stop, thinking is was a shrub oak leaf..Anyway if it did not have impact fracture , would of been another Home Run ! Checked a few other sites, same same puffed sand.. We got to Site that we both have found quite a few paleo points. I found a base of a oldie , strike 2.. Last stop, I walked up two wide half mile long washes , full of burnt rock and the clouds broke my light...So, I walked back to first base , my Hilux pickup.. Came home with hurt feelings ..... JJ

So you found a Folsom from your pickup! That’s pretty good eyesight and instinct. Way to go! Sorry it’s broke.South Dakota-
They took my cataracts out about 6 years ago and put corrective lenses in place(With UV protection) I see about 20-15 now from 4ft out. I have to wear reading glasses just to read. I was surprised as Dr asked if I wanted to be able to see up close or distance.. He said about 50% of people want to have their eyes fixed to be able to read without glasses. I prefer to see distance, and drive without glasss. Anyway, it’s easy to see flint shine on sand at long distance.. I spotted the brokie at 50’ from pickup moving. One just has to go see what is shining !

That's cool! It's also really tiny. I have never seen one like that. Good color too...

Oh no , can’t leave Mikey. My radar might be off and I have to dog him..
He likes his beer, I quit drinking long ago, but I don’t care if he gets wasted.. To many stops to p though,lol... -
BTW
The rule of thumb on Folsom points is that they are usually 3xlonger than than they are wide.. So on this one just the bottom base, and splinter down the side is about all that’s gone...

Wowzers, that is awesome!
looking at the pictures, that old man was used hard. Looks salvaged a couple of times, the base, the side, the tip. That was was a masterpiece back in the day. (Still awesome by any metric that matters imho.)Hong Kong, but from Indiana/FloridaComment
