Finally on the board for 2020 !

I haven’t had much time to hunt so far this year but I was working near a spot I hunt and figured it’s a good place for a lunch break. Finding this really made me realize that a place is never truly “hunted out “ I have checked this place literally hundreds of times and I have found a lot of nice points but recently not much at all where this point was is the first place I always check when there and the last as it’s the first spot when the path opens up.

Amazing this point is intact it’s probably been stepped on hundreds of times and it was under layers of bricks here’s a pic of the beach where it was found there was bricks covering the entire beach and each time I go I would clear a little more and I’ve found some really killer points under them just rough conditions and it can’t be sifted cause there’s clay under the sand as soon as you get an inch down.

Arrow,

I really enjoyed the journey of photos you took for this find.
The try-to-see-it-first pics are wonderful!

Beautiful crystal quartz material too!

That point looks a lot like a Meadowood Blade.

Nice going Arrow!

Sounds like you'd want a stone rake.

Sounds like you'd want a stone rake.

I agree Mr. Bill. A "Dirt Rake" as we call them, with stiff tines. A leaf rake with flexing tines may work good too.

Have tried both with not much success the issue is there is thousands of bricks spread all across the entire area ... and the thick clay is a pain as soon as you get going your rake gets packed with pounds of sticky clay , I need to invest in a good metal detector the bricks are from the first court house in the county from 1690 .... they are a blessing as
They keep the points washing out of the banks from going out into the deeper water and muck but a curse as they are tough to move and hard to look for points in .... the most challenging points to find are the jasper ones that are almost the same shade of red as broken bricks

Great find! It’s a killer piece!

Cool point ! I don't see many of those large triangular blades like that, it looks like the base has had some thinning flakes removed? I agree that you should metal detect that site, and it would be fun, but not advisable, to pressure wash the camouflaging mud and debris off those bricks, rocks and artifacts. Can't wait to see what else you find there. HH

Several hundred of those bricks would make a killer B-B-Q pit!

Thank you , I am not sure what type it is. Doesn’t really look like the typical smaller triangle ones I find (levannas, Madison’s) about a third of the way up from the bottom on both sides it has a small notch
