Paleo and Dalton contest

[SurfaceHunter]

I know we have a contest each month for recent finds. But some guys can’t get out to look anymore like Hal and Oldrocks. I think it would be nice to have a contest where some can enter a past find maybe your best ever. I could enter one I have but it wouldn’t win against some I believe a few people have. Might be a really good looking thread to. Just an idea to let some of the others have a chance to win. Of course it would be on the word of the posters that it’s a actual personal find and not a purchase.

Great Idea Glen. I hope the moderators let you set it up. Kim

Not a bad idea, but in my opinion it would just be a "mine is better than yours". I have full faith in our members that that kind of behavior won't happen here, but it's something to consider.

Contest or not LO t his is pretty much a FL "Dalton"... Santa Fe Point from the Santa Fe River, FL I thought it was a leaf in the crack on the limerock bottom.

See, it's turning out to be a pretty good thread!! Post the Paleos up it's no contest now LOL. I've been hunting and collecting for a looong time and only have a few paleopooters and paleopieces... all of which I am thrilled with. Square knife found in association with Suwannee points. Hillsborough Co., FL "Langshire"

What I have found. The one in hand was 1951, the 3-5/8 was 78 and the clunkers were 91 and 08. Have a few T-Paleo but not Daltons That's all folks.

Can’t find them around here that’s for sure

[Cskelton]

Here are some from the middle of Montana.. some have been confirmed by pkfrey as paleo. A couple I strongly suspect are, based on what I have learned from members of this forum. Mostly opinion, based on the depth found, flaking, and overall outstanding craftsmanship. Liam's field find is included..

my best one is an example of porclinite perfection. A 11000 year old milnesand point. I illustrated the sides to show the area that's ground completely smooth.

[Artifascination]

Woweee!

[Jethro355]

Your posts always make me question my residential status…

[oldrocks2]

Really super finds.

[SurfaceHunter]

Haven’t been able to show any of mine been a long work week but I will try Sunday morning. I might have a couple interesting pieces

[oldrocks2]

Can't wait, the word Paleo just makes my head click into wow, so dang rare.

[SurfaceHunter]

Still not sure on the types but look paleo and Dalton to me. I will do my best hopefully the sun will be out

[Tam]

Chad you live on a Paloe camp ..

[Cskelton]

That Milnesand is a work of art. Can only imagine your feelings when you pulled it.

It was very special. It was coated in wet clay and it really didn't show itself until cleanup. My son will never forget it. He was only maybe 6 when I found it and he still looks at it and says " it could have been mine".
