Today's Hunt 3-21-24

Turned out to be a nice day (warmer but cool enough not too sweat much). I think the 1st one is a Clay; which is only the 2nd one I've found in SE Alabama (2 3/8 by 2). The 2nd is probably a large Bolen (3 by 1 1/8). #3 is a small point #4 I thought was broke but turned out to be extremely worn down and the last is a small Bolen with tip damage. My neck, legs and back are feeling the burn but I'm OK with that.

Was able to look a little today before the massive rain storm came in. I'm going to try to go again tomorrow if the weather allows it. I found these today, all range from 1.25 to 1.75 inches.

Raking them in, pretty stuff I don’t know my southern types that well but is the last one in the first group related to dalton?

I wish I could find a complete Dalton

wish I could find a complete Dalton 🙂. I think that one is a Bolen; maybe a Cowhorn type with worn down base ears. I have found 2 of the Cowhorn types in the same area in the past where the base ears extend further than this one.

That’s a stunner for sure.

Those are also good points. I’m guessing the material is Coastal Plains Chert? I just don’t find that material that I know of.

It's coastal plains chert, it seems like the more colorful kind is in S. GA. I do find some colorful ones (not here lately) but more so there.
