Annual Nantucket trip is starting off great!

[CHUDs]

Just got to my hometown of Nantucket to visit my parents for the next few weeks and it’s been a good start..my buddy and I got out on my first night and each scored a point! My first quartz point in the town of my birth no less! He scored a beautiful little heartbreaker that Ive only got an in situ. Also found a a stone that may have been either a net weight, a hammer or just a rock. Input is always appreciated.

That didn't take long to score. Hope you come up with others.

Nice finds!

My husband is from The Cape. Never knew there were points around - duh, I should have(!). I guess I'll be more agreeable to visiting my in-laws. Do you look the beaches, coves, inlets? Man, that water is cold up there! We visit the mid-cape.

Have a great trip!

Awesome start! I have to imagine finds have to be tough to come by there given the years of European activities there.

I’ll be in Boston this week visiting universities with my daughter.

I think the competition can be intense with it being a small place but there are still lots of pieces showing up. Lots of storms turn over the gravel at the beaches and erode old dunes. I always think about how much stuff must have been left around by 10,000 years of humans.

Love that picture of the stone in question on the ballast stones or cobble. Welcome home hope you guys hammer it hard.

What is the last one? Weight?

Nice finds that should definitely make the trip better

Nice findscould the hard stone item be a maul??

 

[CHUDs]

I thought maul but net weights have been pulled out of this area too. Either way my friend said he was going to grab it if I didn’t take it. Good enough for me!

Nice finds.

 

[CHUDs]

Just wondering if anyone knows the age/type on the points? Charl maybe?

Nice finds Chud! I think you could be right about the net weight those notches look pecked out.
