A few pieces from my last two trips to the creek. I tried to get better pics of the work on the white Quartz piece but they all blurred out, hard to photograph that stuff. Thanks for looking. H.H.

Nice finds Viking, glad to see those Va. creeks are producing for you. That first point looks pretty old.
 
We find very little quartz in southwest Georgia. It looks like it was hard to work with. Thanks for posting.
 
Thanks for the response guys. Quartz must have been hard to work with but it sure is easy to spot in a creek bed. Thanks again, H.H.
 
The first looks like a Hardaway dalton VA Type. Couple of scrapers too. Nice finds. I hunted for a couple of years, everyday hoping to find a Hardaway, congrats. Quartz is always nice to find, I would never part with my Quartz finds.
Thanks for showing us. Good luck with your next hunt Viking.

Molly.
 
Yeah those quartz points are nice. Is the brown one quartz as well? I do not think I have seen brown quartz before. Nice points sir.

Thanks Molly, we thought it looked old. Hey TnMountains, The brown Knife or scraper is Quartzite, we find alot of it here. This area was continually occupied for a long time, only so much flint to go around. H.H.
