How many hours were you out there to find all of those?

Well done!

[naturegirl]

Your insitus are un real! so is that last picture wow, I like that broken, double-ended drill thingy. Or broken drill with a graver on the other end? Anyway, what a haul!

[Tnmountains]

Nice shots. I wonder what that pink one is? Some type of quartz? I get a few like that from time to time. You have found a lot this year

I guess around three hours, covered about a mile of creek bank. When the water drops a couple feet is usually the best time to hunt. You just have to be the first one to walk it and pick up all the stuff that is eroding out of the banks. After that it's a waiting game for heavy rain.

Appreciate the comments, it's a pretty cool little multitool of some sorts.

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your replies. Yep, maybe rose quartz, or common Va. quartzite that was too close to a fire.

I'm not sure, I've found a few of them. they look like mini dovetails, but thin with woodland flaking, possibly a Merom?

Nice finds. Good eye catching the bifurcate scraper under the rock in the top photo - that piece is one of my favorites in the group.

Very nice pieces Th3rty7. Those points are beautiful. All of those together would make a real nice frame for the wall.

Appreciate your reply. I've seen one Dovetail from Va. and it was believe it or not a quartzite example from northwest Va. , they're scarce to non existant imo. Kind of like Lost Lakes, about the only place you'll find one is extreme northwest Va. I'm not sure that point is a dove. Definitely has the shape and base, but it's wafer thin,and unground? If that's a Guilford it's one of the better made ones I've ever found. Thanks for weighing in bro, have a good one.
