A few points from yesterday

[smokeythecat]

I was at the far away place yesterday. Could only do a couple hours due to the humidity. I spied this one first and since I wasn't filthy yet took a pic in place. Then #2 showed up.

Lastly, Got a slightly bigger one.

The first one in the group picture is a Susquehanna broadspear. Second one a short Adena. Third I don't know. Any ideas? The first one is a black jasper, first black jasper I have found on this site.

Nice finds smokey, this humidity is unreal. I'm going to try to look myself this coming weekend but how long is a different question.

I want to make a trip to Flint Ridge, Ohio but its 390 miles one way...place is in total shade, but...And I have 20 pounds of artifacts, not knapping flint from there already including a few points and knives, lots of cores and hammerstones and flake blades.

You made your point.

Love that material.
Great stuff!!
That big one is killer imo.

Thanks all. The "big" one is just over 2", so not exactly huge. I wonder where the black flints found for 100 miles around here comes from. Anybody hazard a guess?

Smokey Congratulations on your beautiful recoveries..I never realized that there was so many different types ..Someday I want to learn how to identify them

 

[smokeythecat]

There are more types on the East Coast than you can imagine. I certainly don't know the types.

I often wonder how they cut and shaped them so so precisely..Then to make beautiful arrows and bows on top of that is just incredible
