Weekend Finds from New-to-Me location

[dlos]

This past Sunday I got out for the entire day, sun up to sundown! Went with my long time huntin buddy to a place that we've spent very little time looking at over the years. We went at it with the notion that we were simply trying to figure things out so our next trip out this way would be more productive.

The day started off really well with the bulk of the day's finds taking place within the first few hours. But it wasn't until the last minute that we could say that we may have figured things out and unfortunately by then it was too dark to keep looking.

The large but broken bifurcate kirk was about 50% exposed with the base showing, thought it was broke, gave it a tug and then thought it was whole since it felt a little heavy. This thing is very thin for its size and would've been a killer if it were whole. It's still quite stunning as is and gives me hope that there are more like it to be found nearby where it came from.

The group shot is of points from a couple other sites within the same location. The small bifurcate kirk also makes me hopeful about this place!

Thanks for looking!

Wow!! Nice day out!! What type is the first point, any idea?? Sure is a different looking point. We sure had great weather this past weekend for hunting. I don't know about this coming weekend.

Opps! Kirk! I did not read close enough. Sorry about that

The weather was awesome this weekend, made for the perfect day to be out so long. I'm not going to be able to get out for a while with the holidays and family obligations for the next several weekends.

That first point is a bifurcate kirk, don't find too many made that way and that large. Really too bad it's broken, it's a great example of the type.

It certainly is a perfect example of that type. If it only had the tip. Man oh man! I would still be happy with it, just the same!!

Did you check the dirt where you pulled it from? I have found them like that and wondered where the tip was but never could find them. Still a good find and hope you get many more.

 

[dlos]

Yep, poked around and didn't find the tip, the break looks old too. Thanks for lookin!

Whats the very bottom right? Guilford?

I'm thinking the one you ask about is a Morrow mt. Blade sharpened several times on one side. Nice piece isn't it?

 

[dlos]

Bottom right is a Morrow Mountain, used up and resharpened as Field Hunter points out, it is needle sharp at the tip. It always amazes me that over all the years these things survive that some stay so sharp. The larger piece above and to the right is a guilford but the base is messed up so I'm not sure if it's a yuma or not. It is also very sharp at the tip.

Guilford points are a premo find for us. I have a tiny Morrow mt. I need to post. I'll have to rehunt my room of " rocks" so that I can show y'all.
