Description

The listing, Ancient Flint Friday Blade Arrowhead Texas has ended.

This beautiful large Arrowhead Blade which is called Edwards Flint Friday Blade came from Wilson County near Canyon Lake in Texas.

Although not authenticated, it is known to be around Late Archaic, 4000 - 3000 B.P.; My husband found it and they call it a Friday Beface Blade made from flint. This type of arrowhead would sell anywhere from $40-$60. Great for the collector.

It is almost 3" long

I want to comment that I will ship this First Class with confirmation tracking. I always ship within 2 days of receipt of your address. So no need to worry when you will get it.

Oh my Lord. This is in perfect condition. Where did you get the time machine?

My husband knows arrowheads and when he works an area, he has friends who can tell him. We have found some that are over 6,000 years old. You can't believe the incredible finds he has. He is so lucky. I also found some, but his are the best. We have some authenticated when we can. It costs about $35.00 to do it but they come with authentication papers. Makes it nice if you want to get some real money for it. He has literally found thousands, and given away almost as much. He's just that type of person. I am too. When we lived in Arizona we found metates, manos, ancient pottery, and some artifacts that it took real archaeologists to tell us what they were. I kept them. But anyway, we both have a hobby of fossil hunting, rockhounding, gemology, archaeology, etc. Keeps us busy going places. Going topaz mining this summer in Texas. Love it.

I should also comment my husband is Native American, Cherokee. His indian name is Three Crows or Tso Kogi. He is quite knowledgeable about Native American art.

Awesome. Some of my old friends still call me Chitto Harjo, but with being bipolar, I don't need that hanging over my head, so...I'm Wild Bill.

funny, well you know, Indians are given names by happenings in their lives.

May 30th, 2011 at 4:14:51 AM PDT by

Perhaps I should explain. Chitto Harjo transitioned five nations; the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole; and the members became known as "Crazy Snakes". I've never feared creatures before, and when I was thirteen or fourteen, I grabbed a Diamondback by the tail, and beat it to death on a boulder, but I'm feeling much better now, as I've grown and learned to live and let live.

Living in Arizona, my husband definitely had his fun with the diamondbacks. In fact, he used to kill quite a few of them, take their skins and make things with them or just take the skins and put them on wood and sell them to the shops as souvenirs. He is a mountain man as well, and taught me quite a bit about living in the wild. Oh, those were some good times.

The desert can definately be fun, but as an old seaman would say about the water, you must respect it. Strangely, my neighbor's to the North, South, and East (to the West is preserve for 110 miles) are infested with scorpions and snakes, but I have yet to see a single one, although I have a seven foot King snake on a leash out front, lol. (rattlers won't come near a King). The preserve is a sea of black lava rock and only 400ft. from my front door. Anyone want lava rock?

May 30th, 2011 at 4:54:07 AM PDT by

Yes, my husband says never kill a king snake, they always keep the rattlers away. Where we lived we had tons of flagstone. There were old flagstone quarries that were closed for decades and we used to go up there get plenty of it. In fact, we added a room using flagstone. I used to paint signs and pictures using it. Love the stuff. You must live in New Mexico or Nevada?

I actually live in the Mojave desert, literally (40 miles from the nearest city). The only business close to me is a country store and a Nuclear power plant, lol. But I can run the electricity non-stop for $72.00 a month.
The town is called Tonopah, or Tu Nohwa i.e "water for us", since the largest subterranian aquifier runs directly beneath us, hence the power plant being built here. You can dig at any spot and hit a shallow well that never runs dry.

I know how it is living "hard" but there are some nice things about it. We were 6500 feet up and had to have our water delivered to us, which we stored in a big tank which we conservatively used for 3 months. Our land was on bedrock, so to drill was very expensive. We had no electricity, ran generators when we wanted to use electrical. Used oil lamps for nightime. I did get used to it. Lived there 7 years before we moved to Texas. They were brining in electricity when we moved. But it was so beautiful there and up that high we could see Route 66 and the valley below. Lots of wild animals. Since I did a lot of native american beadwork on leather, it was perfect for me for sitting hours. Makes you understand how the indian women worked. lol.

I moved here to get away from the city, and don't regret it much; maybe occasionally (like William of Vercelli when he moved to the desert to become a hermit, but soon realized he missed the company of others). Plus, I was able to buy a six year old house and 1.5 acres for a fraction of city prices and not have a mortgage, that's worth it's weight in gold.
I had, on several attempts, tried to cultivate my own fruits and vegetables. They got as far as 16" tall before the rabbits and prairey dogs learned how to jump the fence. I always have my coffee outside at 5:30 to watch the sun peek over the mountain, and when the garden was at it's finest one morning, I went out to dozens of cotton tail rabbits and roadrunners having their way with my produce, lol.
However, I don't think I could live without consistent electricity, and I much prefer to have varmints mooching off of me than drug addicts, as was the case in Apache Junction.

How many times I tried planting a garden. It must have looked like a garden of eden to the little animals around there. I finally gave up. Yes, we owned our land and property. Built our own house ourselves. Had to sell it when we moved to Texas due to my husbands health and be closer to my daughter and grandchildren. But it something I remember with great memories. You're younger so you can do it now. When ill health starts in, then we have to do what we have to do. So sad. I bet people on here are tired of reading our stories. Ha.

I would dearly love to travel like you do hunting gems, arrowheads, etc... So much fun!!

I've been doing it for a long time. When my son was a teenager he and I did it, and now as an adult he is teaching his children. It's a wonderful hobby. You're outside, seeing the surrounding scenery, studying archaeology, gemology, rockhounding, paleontology. We joined a couple of clubs and learned a lot. We now belong to a peleontology club that we are learning from since we moved to Texas. Pretty exciting.

Just to add a bit of clarification to your auction....Canyon Lake is located in Comal County. Wilson County is located several counties over. I thought I would clear that up for people who hope to authenticate this point.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 2:58:15 PM PDT by

thanks.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 3:34:19 PM PDT by

Just to let you know we go all over when we are collecting and I don't completely document the area. But this is authentic and comes from the region I mentioned. I did mention it was near. Thanks.

Do you have a store or site online? If so send me the link: gezus53@yahoo.com Great Auction- Also, I am interested in winning an old Holy Bible, in English. Please let me know if you ever list or glimpse one.

I only sell on Etsy. If you want something like an old bible, I could put on there. I actually have three old bibles, one rather large and two smaller. One of the smaller ones is written in front to someone presented by pastor of a Presbyterian Church in 19332. The cover and first page is loose It is a Cambridge Bible, illustrated with pictures. The second smaller one is also old and illustrated (red letter) with individuals name in gold on front and the date 1938. Pictures are beautiful in it. The big one is is The Living Bible paraphrased and illustrated. It is beginning to show some signs of glue drying up on the binding, but has gold leaf pagesvery large printI believe 1973. So let me know. I could send you pictures.
