Gilaoro 318 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS , I have always liked arrow heads and have found a few. Never saw one made until about 1982 we were up on a ranch in the Texas panhandle. This ranch was a site where a type of fossil fern had been found and we stopped at the ranch house to get permission to look in a nearby creek . The rancher told us we where welcome to look but the area had been searched for years and he didn't think we would be successful. This was right on the OK /TX state line and very isolated. He told us we could park our R/Vs in his yard and spend the night. So we parked and took my PU down where he said to look, we found some small pieces and I found on whole fern head, I can't remember the name of it now . Anyway the rancher and his wife invited us to supper , 2 couples, so after a great ranch meal we got to talking and the subject of arrow heads came up. He said I have some that I will show you , he came out with some cigar boxes and started showing us perfect pieces like yours, every color and design! We were floored ! These came from this ranch we asked ? Yep he said every one of them ! I was ready to grab a flashlight and start looking and not worry about the abundant rattlers! About that time his wife spoke up and said "Honey tell then the truth" He made them himself she said . I was still sceptical so he took out his knapping gear and proceeded to make both a brown one and a green one from the bottom of a broken beer bottle!! He said those fancy ones take a lot longer but I have been doing this for years. We were still floored , his hands was rough as an old saddle, I would have cut a finger off or worse Trying that! Never bet on another mans game I have learned ! Yours are obviously museum quality . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
