My dad dug some pretty nice one's yesterday (along with a cardboard box full of pieces and pottery).

A couple of nicer one's here. Check out the red one....very nice.





What is a Clovis? That's what someone told my dad this was.

Clovis points are believed to be the stone tools and implements used by pre-historic humans in North America and as far south as the northern parts of South America. There is some debate that these tools are not from the humans that came to North America via a land bridge between Alaska and Russia during a former ice age. The remains of mummified animals found in Alaska and Canada have been found with spear points still in them that differ greatly from the Clovis points. Clovis points can actually be found as far north as New York and into Newfoundland lending the possibility that these originated from humans that traveled via boats from Findland, Norway, and Greenland 12 to 15,000 years ago. There was a very good Nat Geo program recently about the origination of humans in North America. I don't remember the program title though. Sorry.
