First point found in a creek!

[sosa961]

Found this yesterday while searching a creek in upstate South Carolina. Still trying to ID it. Maybe Guilford- Yuma?

I have found numerous points in dirt and rocky creeks in Texas. One of my college students was just outside San Antonio, up a dry rocky creek and found a beutiful Obsidian point that was not damaged. Incredible workmanship, delicate. Should not have been there, but it was. Lots of points out there so just keep looking...

Wow! That's a nice one! I'm not sure of the type but there's several folks here from SC and will let you know more about it. By the way, I hunt only in creeks and find lots of stuff so keep on looking you will more than likely find tons more!

Very Nice point,& Welcome to the forum. I think SC,NC,& VA. tend to have a lot of the same type points not only in style but material as well.Just because there's lines on maps today that separate the states back then the Native's probably could careless as there weren't any thing like that.Sure they had there different territories but they weren't imaginary lines called states.I think people sometimes get caught up in the states thing to much instead of looking at the real picture & how it was then.Sure nameing the state it was found helps with what to exspect the finds to look like but don't mean they can't be found just across those imaginary lines of today.Just like the one you have in your hand I've found quite a few here on the coast of NC.All that said your off to a good start of your own type collection so keep looking.
Take Care,
Pete,

Looking good there.
They have been removing the dams in the rivers up here to help with the fish migration in the streams again.
I was spying on an old area with lots of history. the water quality was great and the river was cleaning itself up.
Heavy spring rains are washing all the trash and sediment away. Time to get out the fishing waders.

That's a beautiful little find! Just started creek searching this year myself. And my 3 best finds of the year came from a creek. I'm in piedmont NC.

Good find neighbor, nice point!! The creeks around my house are not great for hunting, you must be north of me. Tony

Nice quartz point and it looks perfect. Must of not been in the water long due to not much staining on it. Its hard to find a whole quartz point here that looks like that one. real nice

 

[sandchip]

I'm with SCrocks on the type. Great find. Beautiful example and more refined than is normally found for that type in your parts, especially being in quartz. That knapper knew his stuff!

Indeed! That's a beauty! Great find, WELCOME, and for a better idea of what to find and where, it's better to find/use a map of regions in which artifacts have been found. They spread over all sorts of artificial boundaries and show more of a technology/style and lithic movement rather than anything modern cartography could explain. I really like that point- that was a nice little prize! Yakker

Great find and a cold time of year for creek hunting. I like it nice quartz point. Looks about the right size for an atalatl.
