    Best Day, Worst Day!

    I went to the creek last Saturday with a buddy and had the best day ever for me. I found 3 complete snapped base Kirk points, a prehistoric camel tooth and a token still in the plastic sleeve.
    Then, that evening I had my worst day ever! I was taking the points back to my truck after showing them to my wife when I got home to get a group picture when I simply lost my grip on them and all 3 hit the concrete! I have had a problem holding stuff in my right hand for a while. Getting old has it's problems. One snapped in 2 pieces, the long one had both ears broke off and the third one suffered a flea bite to one edge. I also dropped the camel tooth but it survived intact!
    Not shown is the small shark tooth I lost somewhere between the creek and my truck! I know that people have found more and nicer stuff, but not me!

    wooweee! I've never found an arrow, those are sweet! So sorry for the breaks! A camel tooth is a literal camel tooth? In southern US?
