Nice stuff you guys have I only have a few they donā€™t show themselves often for me so when they do itā€™s a day to remember.
First one is the 1st one I found when I was just getting into the hobby I wasnā€™t sure what it was but loved how it looked itā€™s made from crystal quartz.

Second one I just found last year and I was ecstatic unreal the tip was still intact when I found this one it was stained Black was cool to see itā€™s made from jasper after a long soak and scrubbing.

Found this one 2 week later in the same exact spot within inches of previous one ... too bad itā€™s broke

This I think is a drill base, Iā€™m posting it because to me it looks like itā€™s in an older style Iā€™d be happy for any insight on it

Had about as much luck finding a good drill as I have a good celt, but I'll throw on what I have for the sake of the thread. You fellas really have some exceptional drills. I'm enjoying seeing what's out there.

Here's one I found on a drained lake bed. Made from what appears to be an old Kirk Corner Notch.

Found in the creek.

I have this broke one to share, must have been a beauty when it was whole. Itā€™s about an inch and a half across! 534997C4-2AD0-4537-A7BF-DB86D2B31922.jpeg

I walked right by this one on the beach without seeing it. Fortunately, my wife was right behind me. Rhyolite.

This one I found at one of the very few Late Paleo/Early Archaic beach sites I have located. Dr. Gramly told me it was Dalton-related.

And here's a Fox Creek Lanceolate drill the Mrs. found, made of Attleboro Red rhyolite:
