The quartz one on the bottom is very interesting! Thanks for sharing
 
Well thanks for bringing me back down to earth ..... lol that’s an impressive display do you believe these are all from same time frame / era ? If so have you narrowed that time frame down ?

Thanks I think drills are mostly the same though out the ages. I have more still searching old files trying to sort things out.
 
Most of these are in the case posted. The perforator / Drill in hand was found on a dry lake bed old overshot flaking on this one.

Had to come back and look at these again thats an awesome display some great colors too thanks for posting
 
Very nice frame and pics of drills and perforators southfork.Think you are correct on "drills" looking a lot alike through the ages. Unless it is made on a rechipped point like Quito's specimens then it is very hard to tell age.Your's from N. Cali. are identical to mine for the most part.
i will gather some of mine up and show them too in the future. Thanks for showing....
 
Really cool! I like the necklace especially!:icon_thumright:
 
Beautiful finds
 
awesome but some of those look like Hamilton arrow points. Either way they are awesome!
