My family owns land in central Texas. My father grew up out there, in "the country." He always loved to go "arrow-head hunting" (searching for arrow-heads or arrow-head fragments on the ground, particularly after a good rain, or when the fields have been plowed). Over his lifetime, he has acquired a beautiful collection. I'll get a pic posted of his main display: his finest complete arrow-heads, layed out in a design, on felt, in a wall-hanging shadow box. He always wanted to name a child "Flint" and that was me. Flint.
