Always been really interested in the Clovis points. If you have been lucky enough to find some Let’s see them!!

Grim nice one , did you post a second ? I only saw the one.
I haven’t been lucky enough to find one I’d say it’s probably the top item on my bucket list and in my opinion the prettiest type of point made.
I see 5 pictures in my post of two different Clovis Points. What do you see?
I've been lucky enough to find a lot of Clovis tools, broken points, bifaces, flakes, etc. I found one nice Clovis point in Indiana when I was a kid, and like a dope, I sold it when I was a kid. Proving to be harder to find it a second time to buy it back.
Here are a couple of well known archaeologists looking at a frame of my Clovis material. (Southern most and Eastern most Clovis site in the world.)

Joshuaream... A lot of what you show in your frame looks like quickly made expedient tools. Were they determined to be of clovis origin by your finding them IN ASSOCIATION WITH clearly clovis points and tools??" Just curious. Thanks for posting.
Have you ever Hunted or found any around smith island in the Chesapeake Bay or the surrounding islands ?
That picture isn’t the best at showing the tools, it was about who was in the picture. The site has been written up and referenced several times. Thousands of tools, hundreds of biface fragments, dozens and dozens of broken points, overshots, cores, bladelets, core tabs, platters, channel flakes, etc.
Here are a couple of broken points.

I'm pretty sure the site Josuha is referring to is in South America.
Yes. I recognize Dennis Stanford in the pictures, have read some of his books, and watched his presentations. But my question is did they conclude that the some of the tools were clovis (not archaic or later) simply because they were found in association with the clovis points? Is there something specific about the flaking, shape, material, etc that led the archeologists to call them clovis tools even if they didn't find any clovis points?
