Patrick, wife and I spent the month of march in Texas. I ran into a flintkapper that had a collcetion of heads much like you show in your video.  He stopped by the RV parkand showed me complete points, knives and spear heads that were cracker thin.  I to am amazed at the talent that lived on the desert a few hundred years ago.  thanks for showing your finds.

JEB, back in the day, Texas was MUCH wetter.  Here in Midland, it's a dustbowl now but it wasn't always that way.  When those points were made, buffalo by the hundreds of thousands grazed the grasslands that existed in West, Central, and South Texas.  The rivers were large and wide and people traveled, hunted, and traded along those rivers for hundreds of miles.  There are points by the thousands out here.  I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a few broken pieces... but they are still amazing.

Great videos once again really enjoy watching, those are some really nice points you made there! I also really look forward to the other types of videos you are talking about doing! I will be watching for them in the future.
