Where are these from? I don't think there are any true Mississippian sites in California.

Scrapers are hard to get an age on unless you have Points to date them with. Scrapers were used from Paleo all the way through to late Woodland. Your Point looks like a Triangle type which is normally a later culture from 1000 AD to contact in a lot of places.

Why don't you hunt in California? I have seen some spectacular pieces come from that state and I have a nice tray of pieces from California.

I have no idea of where to hunt legally in Southern California. I have found sites but nothing more than debatage on the ground. I know where sites are in iowa and farmers uncover stuff every year. I would love to hear some tips from California hunters!!!
