Great looking bunch thirty7. Some of those types are what I see here. I think you are right on the Madison triangular. The outward curve on the base of number two the Palmer is a little diffrent. Kinda has the curve of some of the lost lakes but guess it is to wide and not wide enough to be the sunfish style. They are a great assortment and must be a welcome addition to your collection. Nice.
They all look good .

thanks guys, glad you like them.
I'm not sure about the "Palmer" either. That's what it was described as from the site I bought it from though. It's larger than any Palmer I've seen, and it's beveled on one side? I think your right it could be a Lost Lake, or possibly a reworked Kirk.
Unfortunately I wont be hunting in Ohio or Kentucky anytime in the near future, so I purchased the first four points. The triangle is from a friend of my dad, I haven't secured that little beauty yet, but I hope too along with about 50 other fine points from Wv that he found in his yard. He has some killer bifurcates, kirks, and daltons.
great pieces!i see OHIO is well represented.my thoughts was that palmer may be a kirk.
Could I show one of my better kirks ?
sure, always, you dont need to ask man.
Thanks
I have always thought this to be a kirk bifuracte(sp?) But may not be sure now. I know its not a macorkle. Study the base it just way diffrent .Found in Hamilton county,Tn personal find. It seems to be a good example of whatever it is. 2 1/4" x 1".
Thanks
I'm about 98% sure that that's one of these guys http://www.projectilepoints.net/Page...ontracted.html and a fine example too. This site has the timeframe wrong though, they are early archaic 10000bp - 7000bp , they're really old.
The blade profile really looks Big Sandy like.
Here's a good link for iding Tn. points if you dont have it bookmarked yet.
very nice piece richard,i am with thirty7 on your point,it looks like a big sandy.whats the material on that??
Yes I think you guys are correct and thank you. I have that link but it always messes me up with the Overstreet. Its shows beaver lakes that look like ones I have thrown into buckets of preforms . Its is very hard for me to identify the material. We have much fort payne and dover flint here but to be honest its as if most everything I find is diffrent. Maybe a lot of heat treated chert.Have tried very hard to find a good book or refrence on flint/chert. I have about 6 or more real nice points that do not seem to match what overstreet says and the link you provided on this area. I know that cant be true because I only have two points given to me and they sit outside my personal collection.
BIG SANDY. Thanks again

i know what you mean, hopefully they update the site with more examples over time. I find it confusing on certain types as well, but it's about the best online reference available imo.
Very nice points...The Madisons are the most common type I find at the
sites I hunt.(MN) How long is it?
T.
Thanks T. It's just over 2" , pretty big for the type, around here they're usually not much over an inch. What's the common size of a Madison in your area?
