Lots of folks hate on Gary points. Not me. I really like them.

The long one has got to be the biggest Gary I've ever seen!

Also here is a cache of Gary knives I found last year.

The variety in color of all the stuff you recover is remarkable.

Note the large over shot flake scars on the face. In hand you can tell the flaking that formed the base is different and newer than the rest. There are opinions that some Gary fellow ruined a really nice paleo point.

Thanks. That Gary knife cache is very colorful. Every one of is different.

Why are they hated on? Look like cool artifacts to me?

They are a pretty common type and a large percentage are poorly made of crappy material.

Well the ones you have don’t look common at all man, nor do they look poorly made. Are some of these petrified or no? Thanks for the share Steve, these are really awesome to look at

Many are pet wood and other local materials. Several of those are palm wood.

I know nothing about the type but yours look fine to me. They have an Archaic looking style to me.

The only think I can think of to hate about that is...
I hate that I haven’t picked one of them up yet...
