Leland, sorry the surprise wasn't as much as a surprise for you as everyone else since I asked you to help me ID it before the video went out. I want to thank you again for all the help you gave me and all the people you reached out to in order to further confirm the type/material. You've been an enormous help and great encouragement to me. When I hear someone like you is impressed with one of my finds it is humbling. Thanks again buddy!

Puffin, first of all thank you for the kind words! Secondly, don't get discouraged. Wherever you are I can almost guarantee you there is some kind of adventuring/treasure hunting that you could find to get into. Artifacts, fossils, bottles, marbles, magnet fishing, metal detecting, antiquing, etc....there's bound to be something for you out there! Oddly enough, until about 3 years ago when I started arrowhead hunting I also thought that there wasn't anything like this in my area. I always wanted to find arrowheads but I never bothered looking because I just assumed there wasn't much of it where I live...but I was very wrong. Thanks again for the kind words and for watching and commenting!

13:44 really freaking cool, Garys and very similar varieties are very common types to find in OK. I found a site next to a creek somewhere in Central OK and noticed that a large majority of the pieces were made with percussion mainly, and this one that you picked up looks exactly like the ones I've been pulling out of the Gary site. Don't know why they stuck to mainly using percussion to make them, but it leads to quite a hunky piece that has this odd yet prominent midline where the flakes meet in the center.
