Another beautiful white quartz find!!

[Airborne80]

What a great way for Charlie and i to start off August! We were walking in the pouring rain when we almost stepped on this beauty. Sorry for the cellphone photo but trust me.... in person, there is a nice rose splotch on both sides near the base. I love these quartz points and they are pretty hard to come by.

Nice find Airborne, I think it's a Southhampton, early archaic 8000-6000 bc, nice early point, good example.

Thank you thirty7. I believe that you are correct on the type. One thing that always puzzles me on older points like this. Having been crafted way before the bow and arrow, these were in fact speer tips. That being so.... I wonder at the size of them in comparison to the shaft. These are kind of small, so the shaft would have to be proportionate. I probably am not making sense hahaha. I guess I find it odd that such small tips were used instead of the larger types that I have found and could easily see them on a spear tip. Thanks again for posting.

Thanks brother. The link that you attached was a great read and I learned a lot!!! I appreciate your kind words and that you took the time to attach that link. As usual.... folks on this site (in this case you) have taught me so much. Stay safe.

Thank you Bluesy. I find many different types made from many materials but the white quartz is always my favorite.... and the hardest to come by. The ground where I hunt is almost covered in white quartz flakes but finding a whole point is a big thing for me. If they had quartz to work with in your area, keep up the hunt and eventually you will find one. Stay safe.
