The recent rain here has cleared the top layer away from the trails near my home. This is a beautiful Yadkin with no breaks. That seems to be rare around here as I have found about six Yadkins and all but two are without broken tips or worse.

wow that is a very nice find. you said you found them on a trail, what kind of a trail you should put some pics of the area where you found them its always neat to see the area where these were lost.
 
that is nice
I am going to tell Santa that you need a 10 mega pixel camera so we could enjoy a piece like that to it's fullest
 
Really nice find! Congrats!

All of my points are found along or IN the Potomac River here in Virginia. I have posted many many pics of the area (you can see them by checking my prior posts) but as you can tell by the poor quality of my pics... I use a cell phone camera and that just ain't gonna happen at night haha. Thanks for the post and more importantly, Thank you for your service. Hooa!

I was using a flashlight and was actually more on a Charlie walk than a hunt. But you know the deal.... I can't go anywhere anymore without looking down and studying the ground for signs of s point. This baby was standing out as bright as a diamond under a light! :D This trail is not one that is walked on that often but I am still very lucky. The very next person to have walked it could not have missed this point. It was litterally in the middle of the trail in full view! This weekend, I will be all over that spot in the daylight. In fact, Charlie and I JUST got back from the spot again.... and again with a flashlight but nothing else in view. Thanks for looking brother and I hope all is well.
 
Sweet find. Hope there is more waiting there. :thumbsup:
 
Excellent find AB. I've only ever found one, serrated but the tip missin.
Lemme know if you wanna see it. The serrations are super cool on it.
Congrats my friend.

Yes Molly.... I would LOVE to see it ;D ;D ;D I am going to gather mine up and get a photo of them together. Do you remember the large Yadkin I posted way back when I started.... with the rose or blood quartz? It's white with a red streak in it. I have that one in my display table. But yes... please show me the one that you have and I will pray that you find more. they are fun to find because.... like all of the white quartz points here..... they just stand out so well.
