Nice. A good clean one with a full shape. I've only ever found partials of spearpoints of that size.
Yeah, we used to find them where we camped down on the Cape Fear River in the sandy silt around creeks that fed the river. You could find them up around Kerr Lake too, around Occoneechee State Park in Virginia. But mostly they were all beat up and chipped if they were of of a good size. When I was in Cubs we found an old hollowed out tree stump with like 30-40 arrowheads that were in pretty good shape up there.
I mean, there was always NIL money. Just not enough of it and not spent wisely enough aside from one season when Keatts hit on a couple of key guys at one time. Other than 2024 his transfer spending was largely wasted.
With the House settlement, that's all changing to a revenue sharing model anyway. So, it's hard to say what budgets the teams will have until we actually see it. It's pretty obvious that State has decided to push more financial resources to men's basketball though. And frankly, it makes sense because they haven't been getting bang for their buck from football and your money goes further in hoops.

I've got hundreds of spearpoints and arrowheads that I found over the past 45 years, with the oldest being a Clovis (~11,000 B.C.) all the way through Randolph ( post-contact ~1,700 A.D.). Seriously, I'm more a trailing edge technology guy than a cutting edge kinda guy. I learned how to knap stone in the early 80s and still do it when the urge strikes. The points I made are obviously different from ancient points.
Places I thought would be fields and farms forever are now subdivisions and strip malls. Most of my hunting grounds are covered up by "progress".
Here's a few frames from what I found in the region. Even though they were utilitarian, they're art to me. Lots of people collect, swap, buy, or sell points. I consider them to be the reward for having spent the time, energy, and sweat looking for them. I would never buy or sell atrifacts. The ancient people lived here for thousands of years and stone tools were about all that was left to tell some of their story.
