He's right. Wow!

I grew up in the Fla. panhandle, and it was common to find pieces of Indian pottery in old campsites close to some of the bays. However, if you went walking along freshwater creeks, you’d scare up far more water moccasins than Indian artifacts.

More likely a spearhead than an arrowhead...

What were they hunting? I thought dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago.

Higgins was reluctant to specify where he found the clovis, but...

Hmmm...sounds like he found it on someone else's land.

That might fit one of those huge arrows launched by the Urukai in Lord of the Rings, but other than that, anything that size could be a SPEAR-head, but definitely not an arrowhead.

What most of you don’t understand is that creeks tend to meander especially over a 15,000 year time frame. That Clovis may not have been in the creek all that long. If a portion of the creek bank had caved into the creek, it is possible that this fellow came along at the right time and picked it up before it tumbled in the stream bed. I know several people who have seen this point in person. Some think ancient and other think not so much.

Anytime someone finds a pristine artifact, there will always be doubters. That is just the way it is. Several well known authenticators have said this point is ancient. For his sake, I hope it is. It is definitely a once in a lifetime find!

Most people don't know that more Clovis Points have been found east of the Mississippi than west of it.

Many think the Clovis points have an European connection.

Wow guess we should apy more attention to the flint we tend to till up every year in the garden? We are only a few miles from Flint Ridge here though so pretty normal to find them every where.

Spear point. A human who could use that for an arrow head would have to weigh a thousand pounds.
