My first dalton ! And it’s a smoker!!

[NOTCHEDNate]

Yesterday before work I went back down to my second creek that I found that broken drill and hidden valley last trip. Didn’t find hardly anything for the first two hours, just some tools and a cool glass bottle. I started to get a little discouraged I wasn’t gonna find a point. Well that wasn’t the case!! I got to one of the last gravel bars on this section of creek I can search. I searched high and low and nothing . But right before I was about to leave I went back along where the water had punched through part of the gravel bar and had flowing water. I actually noticed these crazy looking little red&blue fish all schooled up in the flowing water. Then not a foot away from those fish I find this baby!!!! My first dalton if that’s what it is. Looks like it might be a Sloan but I’m not sure. Either way it’s a killer!!

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man!! Had to use a vacation day today to get off from work because after finding that yesterday, I’m getting ready to spend a good portion of today back in that creek! Haha

[redrocks]

That's sweet Nate..congrats man

[NOTCHEDNate]

[south fork]

Good eye nice find a day maker for sure .

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man!! Yea it was. I was rushing back to the truck with that one!! Haha

[Artifascination]

Congrats Nate! Man that is a smoker for sure! Awesome Find!

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man!! Last year all I found were a few bird points in that creek .. nothing real old so finding a dalton there definitely has me re-thinking which creek is my honey hole lol

[scwalker]

Gorgeous for sure, congrats

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man!!

[SurfaceHunter]

Dang nice one I’m on lunch will read it later, congrats

[Sugaree]

Congratulations NOTCHEDNate a smoker for sure!

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thank you!! Still can’t believe it. A Clovis or dalton are basically my dream finds like I’m sure are for many of you.. so to actually find one is hard to put into words how I feel!

[georgiafieldwalker]

Good stuff! Still searching for my first while dalton.

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man. Just keep at it you will get yours !!

[Creekclovis83]

Cherish that one man, congrats on the save what a smoker😁

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks buddy!!! Oh I will trust me!! this is literally a dream come true for me.

[SurfaceHunter]

I hope you find something else it doesn’t take long to clean out a creek just like walking a field.

[NOTCHEDNate]

Found one nice piece today but man did I have to work for this one! And it’s not nearly as nice as the one above lol but will post below . I’m thinking maybe calf creek but hard to tell with the damage.

[NOTCHEDNate]

The one from today.

[SurfaceHunter]

Just looked could even be a smith or a wade you have a lot of points with that base type

[NOTCHEDNate]

I’ve found one other Smith before in that creek so maybe your onto something. Can’t wait to see your next finds man!

[SurfaceHunter]

You have to remember some of my points are no bigger than the ears on your last one you found and these last 2 I found are just that small. Look in your guide under Vanilla I believe that is what I’m finding. It’s in the Tn/ GA section

[flintguy]

Really nice finds. I always check the wash outs. I figure its like nature digging a hole for me and what ever is exposed hasn't been sitting there for too long. Less chance of someone seeing it.

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thanks man!! Yep I couldn’t agree more. There’s always other people’s tracks at this spot too so it’s hard to find up-tapped ground as is there. Those washouts have saved me many times from going home empty handed

[Hoss]

Nice finds nate thanksnfor sharingnthe video too.

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thank you!! And glad to share with you all.

[clovisoid]

Great little Dalton! Congrats!

[NOTCHEDNate]

Thank you!
