IdahoPeg Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I’ve been stomping the hills detecting or hiking for years now up by my cabin and always hoped I’d find an arrowhead, but never did. Recently that changed. I went to a site to hunt for coins & relics with my Equinox, but before gearing up realized nature was calling. So just as I squatted to tinkle, looky what I saw bright & shiny right in front me! The Piddle Point!😆 It’s a beauty! Love the obsidian points😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickUK Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 That is a total thing of beauty,very well done,how old roughly would that be ?? we find occasionally similar arrow heads here in the UK but they are 1000s of years old but not sure how that would relate to across the pond.

I researched it and narrowed I.D. down to either Elko Corner Notched vs Hells Canyon Corner Notched…size leans towards Elko, location leans towards Hells Canyon which were 200-1200yrs ago. Elko are much older, 1500-4500yrs ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I have found a few old bottle dumps myself umm, standing at the edge of a ravine at the tree line. 🤣 Necessity can also be the mother of great finds 🤔 I admire your "pluck", and for sure the point. 👍 🙂 Lucky find!

This one is special….I’m really enjoying this new hobby😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
