Zuma:
Jack-- are those authentic Daltons or your work?
Wave, looks like you have a beauty in the works.
Bob, some nice work. I know how tough that Flint River is.
Always some good candy here.

Ah, thanks Patrick. At least we hope they are!
Dalton/ Hardaway are my favorite projectile enigmas.
For some reason I think there are way to many huge
pristine Daltons running around for that era.
Although they do originate right where some of the best
material is found. Do you know of a Texas equivalent?

JackCrafty:
Zuma, the pictures came from lithiccastinglab and arrowheadology. I wish I could personally find some, but that option is out of my league right now. ;D There are certainly a lot of very large Daltons being shown, and I don't trust them all, that's for sure. The only ones I trust are from the caches found in Missouri. The picture below is the cache of 13 points from Scott County, MO. The first two pictures above (in reply #1134) are from that cache.

Texas has Daltons and similar types like Golondrina and Barber. They are generally smaller than the Missouri types. I don't have many pictures of Texas Daltons that I trust but there's a couple under the cache picture.
