Wow that is an awesome head! It always makes me stop and try to imagine the last person who held it and lost it. Some of my best finds were when I was hunting. Cool to think they were hunting too probably when they lost it.

Took a walk on our farm to clear my head tonight, beautiful evening, heard the first whippoorwill of the season and seen this in the dirt at exactly the same time. Life could be alot worse..

My first flawless, clear arrowhead!
Never heard the term “clear arrow head” Whats it mean?
On Long Island NY you might find a stone one or a stone paint pot if your digging near a river.
Thinking its made of obsidian, lava glass.
When we were out in Yellowstone we didnt get to see it as its closed to the public but there is a cliff face that has a vein of obsidian running through it.
For natives of the area it was a Mecca of sorts where they would come and gather material to knap some crazy ass sharp shit.

Probably knapped from clear obsidian. If you look at the point, it is transparent.
What is pretty cool is they can source these artifacts from where the obsidian was quarried if there has been samples taken there and they are in the database. Also with hydration rind dating they can also tell when the artifact was made. Glass Butte in Oregon is loaded with obsidian that you can collect off BLM. Artifacts cannot be collected and removed however.
Its true. Apparently obsidian breaks to the molecule. Way sharper than steel.Read an article about obsidian maybe 30 years ago. Supposedly three times sharper than surgical steel. Some plastic surgeons use obsidians blades.
Perfectly clear.I would really like to have a video, unfortunately, I do not. I will try to paint a mental picture.
The English House Wench goes to bed. 5 minutes later she comes in the living room with a tissue.
I am relaxing on the couch.
"What kind of bug is this?" As! She opens said tissue directly over me she says:
"He is still alive..."
Now when those words left her mouth, said bug, shot out of the tissue at what I can only assume was just under the speed of sound, as I did not discern an audible Sonic crack.
As he disappeared under my shirt, I made every effort to match his speed and I did hear an audible crack. At the time, I thought I had in fact exceeded the speed of sound, but later as I thrashed my shirt against my bare chest and back, I realized I was stumbling. The crack was in fact my bad knee, which had popped like a CCI Stinger.
Delighted at her good fortune to witness such a display of dexterity from a fat near cripple, the Wench began a series of barrel laughs and snorts.
I began a string of obscenities, and inquired as to why she didn't at least stun the fast bastard with a little squish, before simply releasing it unmolested and vibrant, onto my unprotected crotch.
In her most eloquent Nottinghamshire dialect:
"I don't like to squish them.......So what kind was he?"
"Well....judging by what I could tell in the commotion....a £¥¢π√%© mother @#$@¥^{¢ fast one is what kind it was!"
Love those clear ones.Took a walk on our farm to clear my head tonight, beautiful evening, heard the first whippoorwill of the season and seen this in the dirt at exactly the same time. Life could be alot worse..
