Arrowhead hunting TN - The tip and serrations are INCREDIBLE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- A compilation of 11 artifacts found this past fall in and around the middle TN area. There are a number of different types of artifacts throughout the video including dart points, blades, hammer stone, & lance points. As usual, the quality of some of these pieces leave me wondering how one could be made with such primitive tools. Feel free to comment on any and all artifacts you have input on. Please like, subscribe, and click the bell notification to keep up with all of my upcoming finds. Thanks for watching!
You have REAL talent for spotting and rescuing these rare items. Again, NICE WORK!
It only took a few years to get the eye for it! Now I see them everywhere obviously! Haha Hope y’all had a good Christmas. I miss the days of the big family gatherings!
Sweet! Saving this for tonight's drinking in the garage!
My kind ah feller. Already two 🍻 in! Merry Christmas!
Scott: heck ya man! You know I had to get the new vid out for bro brew night! Hope you enjoyed man!
Jason: Haha no joke man… I get the feeling I would get along really well with Scott! Garage+brews= YES!
Well done as always my friend! Man, what amazing pieces you find all the time! Congrats! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy! I find decent pieces every now and then. You already know I’ve got some good ones lined up for the next round coming up! I appreciate you checking them out!
Wow! What a killer Harpeth River! Those serrations are second to none! Definitely made up for those broken base Heartbreakers you found. I can’t imagine pulling a piece out like that! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Holiday!
Thanks as always buddy. Finding the harpeths never gets old! Thanks for checking it out!
I'm up on the shores of Lake Superior. Huge native influence but everything sinks around here. My buddy did find a copper spear head and another friend found a really neat axe. I love these videos. Keeps me sane while I wait for the snow to melt. I hope to someday find a point. Have to play with agates until then. Thanks brother and have a blessed New Year.
Thanks man! There are for sure artifacts out there laying along the banks, just finding where they are is the hard part! If I was your buddy that found the copper point, I’d have my metal detector out there so fast! I hear ya on the snow though… luckily we typically get a whopping 4-10” of snow all winter. When it melts the runoff sure does expose the artifacts though!
Another great video of amazing finds! Serrations is right, G10! Gotta love this area!! Good luck out there!
No joke man! I appreciate you checking it out. You’ve been on it out there yourself man. Been pulling some sweet finds!
Fine points as usual!
Thank as always buddy. Hope you and your fam have a good Christmas!
Your videos are simply the best and most satisfying to view. You have a dream hobby. Thanks for the sharing experience 😊
Thanks Dan, I really appreciate the kind words. It’s obviously a dream hobby to me, and try to share my finds as best i can. I personally like the quietness and just the sounds of nature in the background instead of my nonsensical jabbering! Haha Thanks again though buddy!
Awesome video once again, loved the last point you found! Merry Christmas to you and your family 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas is defined as no knowledge cannibalism it’s the mass of Catholicism the feast of Saturnalia renamed by Constantine as Christ mass! Only heathen pagans celebrate Christmas! Born-again Christians do not celebrate Christmas, they do not hold to the traditions of man and choose to worship God in truth and spirit daily!
That last one was super gnarly. From now on, when I find an awesome broken tip, I'm going to imagine it looking like that point. Good eye on that one.
Haha man seriously! I let my imagination go buck wild with every broken one I find. Every broken tip I find is obviously from a double fluted Cumberland. And every broken base I find, I add about 6” to it when imagining what it looked like complete! Haha
You need to be playing the lottery ....Mr. Horseshoe....LOL . GREAT STUFF .
Haha I’ve tried before… didn’t work out too well for me though! Maybe I need to try again with my horseshoe point in my pocket! Lol
7:58 check out that spider, about in the left center of the screen 😂 8:09 another spider. Love your videos and wish I was as good at spotting arrowheads as I am with spiders 😂
Lol wow… that’s seriously a good eye! Especially the one at 8:09. That little booger was so small and way in the background! I had to rewatch and pause to see it!
Wow brother you killed it ! What some smokers! Loved them all especially the ground shaker at the end ! OMG 😳! Stunner ! Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas! 22:21
“The ground shaker” haha that was a good one! It sure felt like it… it was probably just me getting light headed though! I was so thankful for that soft, squishy mud there. If not for that those serrations would’ve probably been long gone! Thanks again though buddy, I appreciate you checking it out!
Best videos on UA-cam
Excellent finds...hat's off brother
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. There are some seriously amazing artifacts being found by so many people here on UA-cam, you taking the time to check mine out is greatly appreciated!
I love the fossil in the middle of that serrated point almost looks like a Christmas tree 🎄 point
It always makes an artifact much more interesting when you have a cool fossil in it to top it off!
Still riding that gravy train I see. Awesome my friends. Happy Holidays.
Haha welllll I wouldn’t call it the gravy train… if I could walk out and pick them up out of my front yard, now that would be the gravy train! I still gotta work for em. I did scoop some dirt out in a 10’x10’ area to level it out a little bit when constructing an outbuilding a few months ago. In that little section I scooped up dirt I find flakes every time it rains it seems like. I’m tempted to hook up the plow and tear up the whole yard! Haha
Nice points Smile.Your my favorite head hunter.I'm always looking for your videos on UA-cam.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! With all the people on here showing / sharing such incredible pieces, I take that as a huge compliment! As always, I appreciate you coming back to check out the new round of finds, and for the compliment as well! Merry Christmas!
Smiley
Very nice serrated point.
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out! Good luck on your future hunts out there.
Love the serrated ones. Last ones a killer
Thanks buddy! I’m so grateful for the squishy mud when it comes to finding stuff like that! Throw in a little gravel to the mix and it’s a recipe for a missing tip and broken serrations!
Tennessee has some awesome history and beautiful artifacts. Great finds!
This whole area around here seems to be a hotbed for artifacts… and nice ones at that! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Nice finds thanks for sharing and merry Christmas
Thanks man I appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed and hope your Christmas and new year are going well! Thanks for checking it out!
Salutations Friend,
Hoping you and yours are all well, everyone is warm and safe; that was a nasty bit of weather for most of us, and surely a shock to your locale and extended ecosystem, that which surrounds. You had me fooled and I should have known better, thinking that very first piece was the trophy when it usually comes later. Regardless, first or last; both were stellar and both had their own merits.... though, that finale was one to savour, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I! Wishing you all the best, and can a guy have a year better? Cheers and Blessings to you and all yours.... thank you for the gifts you bring us, I am sure I speak for every one us !!
One of these days I’ll switch it up and put the trophy find in the middle of the video. People will surely zip past it as they are fast forwarding to the end though! Thank you as always for the thoughtful comments, and for taking the time to watch!
Fantastic finds! You always deliver the goods. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. May your future adventures bring us new sites with great points. Can't wait to see what you have for us next time. Good luck
Thanks as always buddy! The goods don’t come easy that’s for sure, but I can’t help but to wonder what’s out there waiting for someone to pick up if I’m not out hunting! Haha I’ve already got some dandy’s lined up for the next vid.. even some real crazy fossils that are unusually neat! Thanks again and as always for checking out the finds man! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Awesome artifacts , and as always - a real show stopper to finish up the video . Stunning . 👍👍
Thanks as always! One of these days I’m gonna throw everyone off by putting the “show stopper” smack dab in the middle! But then I’m afraid everyone will get let down when they skip through to the end just to see a broken scraper!😂 Thanks again and as always for coming back to check out the finds!
Just want to say "Thank you" for your top notch videos. You're #1 in my book. I am also a collector in Wyoming.
So many of the videos on UA-cam are poorly put together, with idiots talking all of the time, sound like they're stupid and can't speak English. And, drop the "F" bomb continually.
You're top rate! Thanks and keep'em coming!

Thanks Larry. I appreciate the comment regarding my video style! I’ve gotten my fair share of people that absolutely hate my videos for the same reasons you and others enjoy. To each their own I guess! Haha I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment though buddy!
Spear point kinda day ... Love it all !
Haha thanks man! I’d be happy with a scraper kinda day, so anything more than that I’m super excited about! The sad reality is, (as I’m sure you know) most times it’s a come home with empty pockets kinda day! It’s the name of the game though. I appreciate you checking it out buddy!
@@Points365 I ve watched everything you put out ! Ive got a connection to what you find . It's the general area you hunt ... I'm from that area . Like those serrated edge points . Those are really old points . Keep on hunting and I'll keep on watching !
I’ve put out a lot of vids, so thank you for taking the time to check them all out! That’s too funny though… you know a real rock hound when they can identify your location by the rocks / artifacts you find! Haha
@@Points365 I'm from the area you hunt . I've picked a lot of the same you have . I live in East Tennessee now .
Sweet finds brother! That 3rd one almost looks like granite, but I've never seen one made of it( too hard). The last one is just too sweet! Congrats and good luck!
It’s not that granite is too hard it’s not vitreous! You cannot flake or work granite like you can a quartz crystal, or chert nodule! I have some tools and a point made from Topaz that washed out of the Smoky Mountains into the piedmont region it has a hardness of eight and it is hard to work with but extremely vitreous! We have a similar Stone called granitic rhyolite it just cooled slower than glassy rhyolite and had time for the crystals to form when the lava was cooling! It’s a metavolcanic stone and usually contains some iron!
I think it’s called fossiliferous chert; basically chert made up from tiny fossils. Very cool material
Beautiful find. You weren’t kidding about those serrations. I really enjoy your videos. I wish you much success in the upcoming year. Kind regards 🙂
Thanks so much! It always amazes me when an artifact so old manages to keep the fine serrations intact. But so far this year has been good to me! I’ll have more finds posted soon. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Awesome saves brother!!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate you checking them out!
Nice video brother, alot of finds in the water this time. That smoker at the end is barbed crazy. Congrats and good luck next time out
Thanks buddy! When you’re out there trying to find em as the waters dropping, you gotta do a lot of looking in the water to stay ahead of the game! The one at the end was preserved nicely in that squishy mud! Throw in a little gravel and all those serrations would’ve been goners! Haha
The first piece was a heartbreaker but your last one sure made up for it awesome brother. Stay warm and Merry Christmas
Whew man I know! Really wish that first one was whole, but you know how it goes… for every whole one you find, you gotta find at least a dozen brokes! Thanks for the comment as always buddy and no joke on staying warm… I had to thaw out the pipes under my house today!😬 I though us TN boys were safe from this kind of weather down here! Haha
Enjoyed the show 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄🏹
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it and hope your Christmas and new year are going good!
Looks like a good time there. Congrats on the points too :) Merry Christmas to you and your family. Best of luck next time out :) ATB - David
Thanks a bunch man! And you know its always a good time when you’re out looking for artifacts!! But man, my next vid has something you might find interesting. Plus you might be able to share some of your expertise! I was swinging my detector in a cave not too long ago. Found an old button that is for sure out of place. You’d probably be able to give some good insight as to what it might be since you’re the man and all!
@@Points365 Will be looking forwards to it :)
More great artifacts👍🏻
With more to come! Thanks as always buddy, and merry Christmas!
@@Points365 Wish you well👍🏻
Beautiful finds from start to finish!! But that last one !! Could you imagine that thing going into its target! little lone coming out! Wow. I hope you had a amazing Christmas! All the best to you and yours in the New Year. Looking forward to seeing more amazing videos.🎉
Thank you! I hear ya on that last one though. They were surely intending to do some damage when they made that piece! Thank you as always for the kind words, and for checking out the new finds!
My Goodness, dude !!
Killer finds 🔥 ,man !!
I'm not surprised ,you always deliver the goods !! 👍
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ✌ 🍀
Thanks man! I try to keep the good’n’s coming, but it seems to be getting harder to find em. I still have quite a few goodies up my sleeve that I found over the past couple months that will be in the upcoming vids though! Thanks for coming back to check out the finds man!
Man…both the first one and the last one have more teeth than Mr Ed!! 🤣🤣
Great video, showcasing, and stellar artifacts!!
And Merry Christmas!!
Possums have 52 teeth. More than any mammal.
That's why possum dentists are so busy.
Lol I read that comment out loud just now and their response, “who’s Mr.Ed?”. 😑 I think getting that joke makes us old. Haha Thanks though buddy!
In regards to the possum… 🤣 That’s the kind of random knowledge that comes in handy! I bet you’re the guy everyone wants on their team on trivia night!
@@Points365 lol yea I think that makes us old…
Buddy we love watching your videos. We only wish we had a good place to search as you do. I'm in SC and our searches is normally ground finds in the fields and cut areas. And early find anything like the ones you find..living our dreams through your videos. Keep them coming. We watch them all..Merry Christmas.
Man, thank you! I know I’ve got it good up here, and I try not to take it for granted. My sister lives in Columbia, SC and I hear about the lack of native artifacts from her! She stays in the creeks and has a nice collection of historic artifacts found. Not so much when it comes to native stuff though with the exception of a really nice bead that appears to be native. I appreciate y’all checking out the vids though man and good luck out there!
Killers ones last one sure had teeth to eat you. Lol. Happy new years to come brother hope you find many👍👍👍
Haha I’d hate to be on the receiving end of those teeth! Makes you wonder why they made some so jagged, and some with little to no teeth.
Simply awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man I appreciate it! Hope you’re having a good Christmas!
@@Points365 Yep. Merry Christmas!
Epic finds, man. That made our Thursday night garage night. That big one made me think someone had lost a surfboard at first! A Merry Christmas to you. Cheers from Canada, Sean.
Lol on the surfboard comment! If I can’t find one of those I’d settle with walking upon an old dugout canoe! They have been found here along the waterways before. I’d have to build an addition to the house to display it if I found one! Haha Just a heads up.. my next video will have zero native artifacts in it. Weird… I know! It won’t be the new norm or anything. It will be nothing but these strange fossilized ribs and whatnot that I recently found all bunched together in this one spot. I figured I’d share a vid of it to get peoples input on it. I reached out to the geology / paleontology department at local universities to no avail. Thanks as always buddy and hope your new year goes well!
@@Points365 A happy New Year to you as well. Curiously, A guy my buddy knows found a dugout canoe in Bryant creek down in Missouri close to my buddy's property. It's on display in the Mansfield museum. We go down there point hunting twice a year on his land.
That never gets old the last one is G10
It would not grade as a G 10 the thickness is not uniform and it’s not perfectly symmetrical with a fine ear ding, but it is a fine point indeed!
Thanks Eddie! G10… G1… I’m excited about em all! Haha But man oh man, G10+++ coming up in one of my next couple vids. This thing looks like it was manufactured instead of knapped. It’s wild!
I really enjoy your videos, you have the perfect format. I would love to do what you do but too old and too much pain. I recently bought the Overstreet arrowhead book all 1120 pages of it and highly recommend it. I have seen all your videos at least once. Good luck keep hunting.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that! My format is different from most peoples out there. People either love it or hate it! But yes, that book you speak of has been my go to for years! There are a lot of beautiful pieces in it. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and to watch each of my videos! I hate to hear the years have been rough on your body. I know my time is coming sooner than later, so I try and take it in as much as I can, while I can. Merry Christmas to you sir!
Nice pitted hammerstone
I just can’t pass them up… even though I have enough to fill up a 55gal barrel! Haha
I love the serrations on that snapped base point ✝️✝️✝️
Thanks man! This video was full of snap bases and serrations that’s for sure!
Wow you saved the best for last what a great find that one took some time as always great inspiration brother 👏 I'm going to wait until after lunch it's about 20 degrees out there.......Happy New Year and keep up the great work
Thanks buddy. You know how I roll… I like to save the showstopper for the end! I need to throw everybody off and put the main attraction right in the middle or something! Haha Thanks as always for checking it out and commenting!
@@Points365 You are the man!!! Keep up the great videos if I'm not finding anything at least I know you are have a great 2023 looking forward to the videos and as always you're a great inspiration
Fantastic
Thanks again buddy!
Incredible finds as always! 18:38 was my favorite. Happy holidays!!
Thanks man! Yeah that harpeth river at the end was for sure a day maker! I appreciate you checking it out.
Yes sir! Killers as usual! Hope the finds keep coming! Merry Christmas and best of luck in the new year!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! I’ve still quite a few goodies up my sleeve that were found over the past month or 2. I’m a little behind on releasing videos! Thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds man!
Thanks for sharing all these incredible pieces from the past. I have a collection from the Southern Texas area I used find years ago. Very nice artifacts there. Do you sell anything? Keep em coming. We all enjoy them all.. Trucker Ray ✝️
Hey man it’s a pleasure to share them. Thanks for checking them out! I’ve always admired the artifacts from the TX area. They seem to be some exquisite looking pieces it seems! I’m sorry but I don’t sell my artifacts. I get too attached to them after spending so much so much time looking for them! Haha I appreciate your admiration for artifacts and for you taking the time to watch and comment.
@Points365 OK thanks for letting me know about selling or not. I kinda have the same attachment to mine. Enjoy em while we can. Trucker Ray ✝️
Some stellar finds there, bro! Nice job!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it. Hope you and your fam are having a good Christmas!
Good work mate. I like the new intro
Thanks buddy! Hope you’re having a good Christmas. I’ll send you a tracking # for your package when it gets sent out. Stopped by the post office last week and the line of people waiting was out the door! I’ll swing back by there once it slows down. Take care!
@@Points365 thanks mate
Nice fractured base kirk
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you checking it out!
Wow!!
Haha thanks Jenny! I appreciate you checking it out and hope you have a good Christmas!
WOW!
Thanks again buddy!
Hi good morning good luck today...
Nice harpeth river
Thanks man! I don’t find a whole lot of those, so the few I do find I’m proud of! My best or personal favorite harpeth river was posted 2 years ago in a video titled “End of the year scores”. It’s just a perfect example of that point type in my mind. Thanks buddy!
Just noticed that broken based point with quartz vein in it.... is that iron pyrite in it? There actually might be microscopic gold in that quartz....it has been known that some points can have gold in them making them ultra rare and uultra valuable museum pieces
You know, I’m not really sure what kind of material that one piece is with the quartz in it. You definitely have me wanting to get my loupe out and looking it over real hard! Haha
The teeth on that last one, wow
I still can’t get over how those serrations managed to stay intact. Blows my mind every time! Thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds!
✌️love the materials most look like fossil's to me
It was a different array of materials this round from what it usually seems to be, which I’m totally cool with! It always makes an artifact more interesting when it’s made of some crazy material with fossils in it.
Seldom does one look at an arrowhead and think that would REALLY hurt going in. 20:53
Haha no joke! I don’t even want to imagine it… I’d rather think about how good it’ll look in a frame! Hah thanks for checking it out!
Nice fossil searcy
Thanks buddy I appreciate it as always!
Amazing finds again sir!!!!! Is there a way I could send u a pic of a killer found in Tennessee. It's very unique and never seen anything like it. 👍
Thanks man! But heck yeah.. I love seeing the TN finds, especially the unusual and unique type! JMC4483@gmail Can’t wait to see it! Have you figured out what it is yet?
@@Points365 just sent you a few pics in email
Awesome end of year!! So the stem point nicely piled up on the pebble wash, was that hard stone? Crazy. And to end with a toothy G10!!! Super happy for you! So how many artifacts for the year would you say you saved?? Merry Christmas bro. We are frozen solid here in pa for now..
Thanks buddy! About the hard stone… I don’t think it is, but I’m not totally sure about that. I don’t see many hard stone artifacts around here so I’m not the best judge on that. That last one would’ve been a totally different story if it had been found in those rocks! I still have at least 3 more videos to put out before I’ve got all my video worthy finds for the year released. As far as how many for the year… geez I’m not sure if I could even make a good guess! As far as relatively unbroken artifacts for the year… I’d guesstimate 150ish. That’s just projectiles and blades. Broken points… like 3-400. So many heartbreakers! Haha
@@Points365 your so fortunate to have such great ground to look.. I’m hoping to find more ground this year but this site I’m digging is going to be fire!!! Happy new year!!
That thing was singing when you moved it in your hands
Haha oh man I know.. I love when they have that high pitch sound when handling them. Thanks for checking it out!
Or a Harpeth River?
The last point that you found is beautiful. I love the edge work. Would you call that a Harpeth River?
Thanks man! The edge work and fine flaking is impressive for sure. Harpeth river was my initial thought. A few people have mentioned stillwell or pine tree. But overall Harpeth river has gotten the most votes, so I’d say you are correct!
Great finds as always. See you found another one of your mystery items at 1401. Did you ever figure out what they were?
Net weights!! We find them in North Carolina made out of micah schist, some people call it soapstone but that’s not correct! Micah is what makes it feel like soap!
As he mentioned, net weights is the consensus on the mystery pieces! That’s what the majority of people thought, so I’m going with them on it. I bet I have close to 30 of them, all found off the same site. They were some netting sob’s! Haha
Would you call that last one a Stilwell?
Harpeth river was my initial thought. But that might’ve been my wishful thinking since I really like those points! I’m admittedly not the go to man for identifying artifacts though! Haha I’ve had quite a few people commenting saying stillwell, harpeth, and pine tree. I’ll let you pros tell me!
Collection video time. Have you done one yet?
Pretty sweet. Are we calling it a Stilwell? Or a Pinetree?
In the east we call it a serrated Kirk!
@@artifacthunter1472 You would be correct. Stillwell, Pinetree, Lost lake and Serrated are all in the Kirk cluster.. I sometimes wonder if they weren't just different stages of use.
Thanks MoeBro. I gave up on trying to slap names on artifacts. Seems like I’m wrong 110% of the time!😂 When I found it, my initial thought was harpeth river… but who knows?! I’m just gonna start calling everything a benton! Haha
@@MOEMUGGY yes different nomadic tribes or groups had variations of the same or similar point during the same time, they were all used as projectiles to take down game and feed their families! The only thing I found different than the so-called archaeologists is their timeline, it’s not accurate! Every 3000 years was actually 1000!
@@Points365 Yes, I call everything a "Pokey-Sticky-Stabby" from the "Fug-around-and-find out tribe" 🤣
Love it dude! Any idea of the material of the third point?
Thanks buddy! But man I haven’t a clue on that material. I’ve only found a handful of artifacts made out of it, and most of them are adze and hoes. I think I only have 2 projectiles made out of it. It’s some interesting looking stuff. Doesn’t look as workable as other materials out there, but maybe it was more durable?
Snap base kind of fall hunting...
When you’re on em you’re on em I guess! Makes me wonder how money of them you find were really snap base, and how many were accidental breaks? I can think of a couple more snap bases I have found lately that are coming up in some of my upcoming videos, so the trend continued! Thanks for checking it out man!
@@Points365 I have a recent middle Tenn snap base. Check out my fb
Exceptional fine harpeth river man. Congratulations!!!!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! So you vote harpeth river on that one? That’s what I was thinking too, but I’ve had quite a few stillwell and pine tree comments as well.
@@Points365 that precise four sided beveling and the basal configuration/the way the stem is made makes.me.think harpeth river I think personally. Doesn't.appear to have been notched like pine tree or stillwell we're, and considering harpeth rivers can be found with expanding stems like that , that's just my .02 , it's a fine one whatever it is. The thickness, beveling makes me wanna call it a harpeth.
@@chasecarter1170 I appreciate the input! I’ve for sure found harpeth rivers in that general area, and that was my initial thought when I pulled it. I doubt myself too much! Thanks again buddy!
@@Points365 I feel like a lot of folks will see the shoulders and think sharpened down pine or Stilwell, but that notching/the stem doesn't appear to have been done the way pines or Stillwell's were. Definately that four sided beveling too, don't see that on many pine trees, the overall thickness as well lines up with most harpeths I've seen or recovered myself too. That needle tip and the actual edgework itself are a bit different than the pines are I've found or handled. Such a killer man, thanks for always sharing your badass finds. You definately have your share of poignant moments out there! I don't doubt you for a second, I think you have a better idea about stuff you're finding than I ever will, gotta always give yourself some credit!
@@Points365 watching this again and the quality of that harpeth still makes my mouth water/makes me uneasy/want to get out and find one for me too haha I swear man I love that type. They're so uncommon and hard to come across but when you do find em they're incredibly well made
What part of TN
Ive got a couple.of greenbrier and one harpeth river point that share the similarity of yours on the side where they utilized curvature of the material initially and it has that sort of dished out area about midway down the blade toward the tip. I mean, plenty of points ive found have a sort of common approach but these haroeth river and greenbrier type has a very distinct methodology used to prosuce that result. Its cool to see that characteristic in many examples of the two types as i beleive they are directly related, the greenbrier and harpeth river type. The both share more characterstics than can be passed off as coincidence. Steep edge beveling on the aides of the hafting area/base where its commonly ground along the edges. The wide but not auper deep basal thinning os standout among them too, they had a unique approach at doing that, punch fluted. Many have those wide but shallow basal thinning strikes, essentially flutes for all intwnt andmourpose as far as im aware. The steep beveling forming the sides of the basal area is a standout feature ive noticed. Not unlike the ateeo four sided bevel done to the blades but done a bit differently than the blade edges.
