On thursday I got out to a fresh cut hay field and was hunting with my CTX and hit a target I've wanted for a long time but realistically never thought I would get. I hit a Native American Kettle Point. I hit it at about 8-10" and it was a very tough target to hear and dig. If I hadn't been on a old site I most likely would have pasted it by. It was that bad of a signal. I'm going to have it mounted on a period correct arrow shaft for display. What a great day.

Again Todd, you're hitting the great stuff! Love to see the finished display. Well done! Sometimes you just have to follow your gut feeling and not just the machine.

Its so nice to see these old Native American points being recovered Todd , I'm very happy for you !!These brass points sound off very well or better on the pulse machines than the VLF types . I assume your having John J. guy mount your point like his was ? please post it when you get it back sir !

Awesome find! This is unlike the ones I've seen here in the Midwest, do you know what era this Kettle Point is from and which tribe(s) produced these?
