Found these recently...I am fairly confident the yellow-colored quartz one is a Bradley Spike. The grayish-blue one has me stumped. Based on shape, I have narrowed it to the following maybe: Paint Rock Valley, Madison, Greenville...any help would be welcome.

You are right its called a bradley spike. Kinda rare to be honest.The triangle is very worn down and resharpened before being thrown away. Could have been a camp creek or any larger triangle once even like copena. I find them also and agree with Jamey they are hard to type. They are almost a tool/scraper. Let me know what your research unveils. You guys have been finding some nice ones :thumbsup:

Nice Spike and Triangle point. I find the Triangles and sometimes dont even post them due to them being crude. They are Woodland Triangles.

Thanks for the input everyone...man TNMTNS...that spike could be the long lost twin to mine... exactly same shape and size...just different material....Rock, maybe you need to stake claim to that particular design and give them an official name so years from now people can look up in the guidebooks and say..."Oh look, I found a Rock Peach Point!...( or some other catchy name)....woodland triangle sounds too generic!

Thanks Joe have been lucky to find a couple.I have a friend that has been trying to get a particular looking point named. It takes a lot of research and support. I think they made just about every usable shape there was. We are lucky to have several places close that points have been named after. I did see another Tn member post one not long ago though.
Be safe out there in those fields :thumbsup:

Well instead of opening the frame I just took a pic of the triangles that I find. I dont always post them but hear is a sneak view for you to compare. Of course not all of these are the same type as yours.
