Folsom found...

[sands of time]

I think that everyone who has found a Folsom knows that it found you, you didnt find it. Tom Westfall stated that book as well.
I have come to believe my body has become in tune with the Folsom.

The other day while at work I saw this old timer come in, he came up to me and asked me for some water. He wore a old camo green jacket and had signs of wear from the desert on his skin. There was something weird and I couldnt pin it. Well he left and he came back a few hours later, asked for more water. For some odd reason I asked if he has ever hunted points, he grinned and reached under his shirt, and pulled out, yup, a Folsom....
Soon as he exposed it, I literally yelled FOLSOM , lol.
We talked for a LONG while after, exchanged info
Fully fluted both sides, and 2 in long, it was awesome

Like I said before, the Folsom finds you, as in this case its true, it was calling to me

Agreed and sweet point

As many as you've found,,, That has to be right!
If I found one, Id probably wear it too!
That's wild!

Sounds like one of those little pearls life throws you once and a while... So are you guys going to go on a hunt? I missed it but is it your Folsom now? Details .

I would be waaaaaaaaay to paranoid to have that on a necklace! That thing will get broken eventually. It sure is a smoker!

I'm with Floyd. I can't believe that guy is wearing that on a Necklace. Did he realize exactly what it was and how rare of a find they are?

We probally wont go on a hunt , he wants to go shooting instead lol. He did tell me the location of the find, which adds to its greatness He told me he found a Clovis within 100 yds of the Folsom.
I kept telling him the same thing, " I CANT BELIEVE YOUR WEARING THAT" , he simply said , lifes short so whatever you do do it to its greatest, girls, guns, jewlery. I said what if something hits it? He said if something hits him hard enough to break it on chest, he would probally be a goner. He has been wearing it 10 years.
Yes guys he was well aware of the rarity and value.
I thought about doing the same thing with a base, no way would i wear a complete piece!

That was a great story. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, what makes us "full" at the end of a day? "Humble" has never equated to "Poor" in the big picture. I kind of understand the concept. He is correct, life is short... He knows the value of the piece and it isn't about $GAIN$ to him. God bless...

Neat story. Could you ID the material?
