Drills

[southfork]

Drills are one of my favorite artifacts show what you have . I'll start with this one I have found a number of Drills over the years always a day maker for me . N. California

 

[Icewing]

This is the only drill type artifact I've ever found.

 

[Twistedsifter]

No drill finds yet. Fingers crossed! Those posted are awesome

 

[sawmill man]

cant find them all ,believe my wife has stashed some ,these were handy. was wondering if the rough piece to the left was a drill preform. one or two might even fit in the perforatoer section. sorry about the lighting .

Nice stuff you guys have I only have a few they don’t show themselves often for me so when they do it’s a day to remember.
First one is the 1st one I found when I was just getting into the hobby I wasn’t sure what it was but loved how it looked it’s made from crystal quartz.

Second one I just found last year and I was ecstatic unreal the tip was still intact when I found this one it was stained Black was cool to see it’s made from jasper after a long soak and scrubbing.
this was after first few rounds
Found this one 2 week later in the same exact spot within inches of previous one ... too bad it’s broke

This last one I’m not sure if it’s a drill or not any opinions welcome

Very nice #2 looks old and nothing like crystal maybe a knife on the last one .

 

[Older The Better]

this is the only tool I’ve ever found two pieces of,


This I think is a drill base, I’m posting it because to me it looks like it’s in an older style I’d be happy for any insight on it

Nice collection .

Here's my two best: one Onondaga Chert, and the other - I suppose - is Jaspar. Both about 2.5 inches long.

Had about as much luck finding a good drill as I have a good celt, but I'll throw on what I have for the sake of the thread. You fellas really have some exceptional drills. I'm enjoying seeing what's out there.

Here's one I found on a drained lake bed. Made from what appears to be an old Kirk Corner Notch.

 

[Out Of Time]

Here is my contribution.

Obsidian from Napa, CA.

Found in the creek.



It's about 2" long.

There are some drills and reamer like tools in center portion of frame.

Along the Rio Grande N. New Mexico

Lots of goodies in that case .

I have this broke one to share, must have been a beauty when it was whole. It’s about an inch and a half across!

Found at work on a lucky day

I walked right by this one on the beach without seeing it. Fortunately, my wife was right behind me. Rhyolite.





This one I found at one of the very few Late Paleo/Early Archaic beach sites I have located. Dr. Gramly told me it was Dalton-related.





And here's a Fox Creek Lanceolate drill the Mrs. found, made of Attleboro Red rhyolite:

 

[welsbury]

Did the Mrs. give you heck for missing that first one laying full out?
All very nice.
