Haven't posted a find in a while. Here is a new Bolen I found, 2.060" long, .850" wide and .250" Thick. I thought it was a nice find for me.

Awesome point. I have one just like it. Not quite as good as yours. I like the way they’re beveled on one side on opposite sides. Seems as though it would make it spin in flight.

A point that is beveled has been resharpened. Rather than throw flakes across the face of the point, some people just flaked a new edge by chipping straight down against the edge. There is less loss of material resharpening this way.

Also, they didn`t realize that arrows would spin in flight.

Willjo, I'd dang near have to put that head on a shaft and shoot something with it.

Very nice find.

Thanks for sharing the picture. I'd do a backflip if I'd found that one!

AND thanks to all of you guys that post here.

Because of yall, I am finding artifacts with some regularity on my farm (more in last 6 months than previous 13 yrs combined).
