Very nice, I really im drawn to this kind of material.
 

Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing...
 

I like that stuff, HP. Looks like home.
 

Another great frame of interesting points! Thanks again for sharing.
 

Nice looking frame. Is the middle bottom point made of Baybottom?
Not really up on charts, speckled one locals call salt and pepper, I don’t think there’s any bay bottom, not really sure what it looks like, but I think it has larger inclusions, if you have some post a pic.

In Florida they’re an Archaic stemmed and called Levy’s.we might be out of the distribution area for Pickwicks.

Not according to the link I posted. They are well within the distribution range and are exactly the same age as Levys. I find Pickwicks here in East Central Alabama too. Not worth arguing about though--just a name.
 

Not too many Florida collectors would call that a Pickwick. Levy is usually what they are called here but hell they are probably one and the same. Definitely in the same cluster. I noticed most Levy's are usually a little thinner and better knapped than Pickwicks I see from surrounding states. Just my take on it. Nice points all around.

Exactly right Newnan, frankly I don’t have the energy to tangle with those issues, although I can very well explain things, I just wanna show my collection, know what I mean, I’m using energy posting elsewhere also, thank you Newnan man.

The 4 pieces on the right are Baybottom chert. I sadly do not have a complete point made of it. Common around the Tampa area.

Thanks, I had an idea that was it, cuzz Tom posted some one time, but I’ll admit I wasn’t sure...I surly have to have at least one point made from it I will keep an eye out for it an I find one I’ll post it, thanks.I’ll take a pic. of those and study it, is that a name locals named it,?..So basically it looks like concrete, that’s a very distinct look.I dug sites east and west and north of the Courtney Campbell and I never found any, it seems to me Brian Evanston was calling it that and he dug the tar out of St. Pete, I’m thinking south of the Howard Franklin.

I've found it in Hillsborough & Pasco County. I've seen some really nice ones found by Son Anderson when he lived and hunted in the bay area. It is a conglomerate material. I think Tom Clark has some too.
