PeteDavis:
save that artifact..it is real

huntertrapper:
i dont know about the history but your boy is lucky to have found such a great artifact

knightd:
OK I will just put it up for him..He will certainly lose it if I don't..I have found a few when I lived in fl. Most of them with a break in them I touched up and used them for their originally  intended purpose.. Have any of you Guy's heard of Newnan's lake?? It is close to Gainsville fl.

     I  know newnan's lake.  My Girlfriend used to live about three streets up from the lake, by the fish camp.  124, or 5th, I think.  Lot of gators in there. (The lake, not the college )... Like to come up around your boat.  They found a bunch of old dugouts made of pine, and couple of years back, when the lake was low.  They took pictures, and measurements, etc. and left them where they were, in the mud.  I made the mistake of offering to do her drain field for her, and while digging, I found flakes, and some scrapers, and some pieces, with a distinct " V " notch in them.  I am guessing, but maybe an arrow scraper, or something to make a point in a dowel, or something.  No Arrowheads though.  I have found some flakes, and fossilized fish bones, and some arrow heads, down in Hypoluxo, around the Congress ave. area.  Used to be Melears Dairy across the street.  A good friend of mine used to live there, and he showed me where he had been digging, and several pieces of posts, that were in a circle, about a foot and half down, and we found some broken arrow heads, and pieces.  He had some intact heads, and various implements.  We wanted to do more digging, but the place was being developed, and there are houses sitting on the site now.

Coming from the other side from where your girl friend was at where the road forks there is a church on the right I used to live on that road.. They went through and was making the road wider just a couple years ago and you could walk through where they where doing the construction and find a handfull of points in a few hours It was a gold mine but then every one found out and it turned into a zoo and they started writing tickets and running every body out of there. :( . I remember when they found the dugouts. When I was young me and my dad used to catch gators in that lake every week..Cant do that no more but if you go fishing at night you can turn the light on and it looks like the stars in the sky theres so many eyes..
