Here are some colorful flints and stone tools I found recently in the Texas panhandle. I'm not very experienced with artifacts, but I do collect flints and agates when I'm out and about. The lower left stone is a small scraper (size of a quarter dollar) with a sharp edge. The lower center object may be the tip of a broken Clovis point (but I am far from an expert, so don't take my word for it). The red-orange flint in the middle may be a gun flint that was brought here from elsewhere, as I have never seen this color of flint in the area. The one on the upper right appears to be a piece of (local) petrified wood that was broken open at some point, and the remaining stones are just chips of flint or agate. If anyone here can more positively identify these as artifacts, I'd appreciate it.

Nice finds. Keep searching and good luck...
 

Looks like you have a point in the mix but I would of to see the other side to be sure. One in the middle of the orange ones.
