Yep! It was COLD and wet out on Saturday! Perfect day to look for points! Usually I find flakes before anything else, but this day the first find was the best find, and only 15 minutes into the hunt! It's made of flint/jasper, It's not fluted , any clue to type? The rest of the day netted me some nice scrapers also made of flint/jasper. Also the nice big piece of agate I saw from about 10 feet away, looks like a preform knife? Not fully worked anyhow! More obsidian flakes too, still hoping to find a full obsidian point in the future...... thanks for looking!( Don't know why, but the first pic should be the last pic in my grouping, and I can't figure out how to move it. )

that first one is a dandy. Looks nice and thin too. Just a guess by looking in this book, I think you found you a Paleo point man. Might be what you would call a Midland or maybe a Milnesand ? What ever it is it is nice! wtg

Looks like you had an incredible hunt. Your point in the second picture looks like a small plainview. I also like the thumbscrapers.

Nice finds. That first find is very nice. If you find sidenotch points in the same area, I'd guess it is an un-notched side notch. (Avonlea or one of the others.)

The scrapers are nice as well.

Better finds than I found any day during my 4 years in Missoula.
