Teknetics patriot, Tesoro silver Umax and a BH 101 Hey Who was laughing? With 8" & 10" coils..

Well I am limited to native american artifact hunting, coin roll hunting and beach glass hunting since my rotator cuff surgery.
I have been able to get a few more farm field permissions. The smaller flint scraper with the half hole came from one next door to me. Well the larger gray flint piece is from the Nueter Indian field along with a bag of flint flakes.
Lol, both fit the hand.....
I hear the native Americans were more so left handed than right. Does anyone know if that it's true?
And both seem to have been worked. The smaller more so.
I am no expert but would love others opinions.
Thanks for the help all. Happy Hunting....

I'll drop some pics of my neuter field finds if you like. I have found jars of flakes and a ton of pottery shards. A few broken tips and only one full one. The pottery pieces are way cool in my opinion. I'll put them here when I get back home.
 
Very nice !
 
Just a few of the better Neuter site finds.
Any info on them would be great. The Neuter or neutral people were massacred in the 1600 by other local tribes that had an alliance with the French.
It is said they were of great statute in the local history books. 9 plus feet tall. Gaints for the time. It's so sad that all that remains to remember them are just the few scattered artifacts.

I’m a left handed flint knapper. Since I’m a lefty, I always pay attention to handedness. It’s easy to tell if a knapper was left or right handed if a point has oblique flaking. Without oblique flaking, it’s virtually impossible to tell. This point was made by right handed knapper J E Alexander, “Swoose”. RIP. Flaking runs upper left to lower right.

This is a point I made. Flaking from upper right to lower left.

I’ve examined hundreds of authentic Indian arrowheads and have only seen a small handful I could say were definitely made by left handed Indians.
