I don’t find many quartz verses chert. So I was happy to see the quartz laying on the last gravel bar today. I didn’t take a picture before I picked it up cause not much was showing and I thought it was just another broken or flake. Got the scraper to. Scraper is made from a flake and has that curve from removal. 2023 is looking good so far. This was a different creek than the last post of finds. I have permission to a few places still but always looking for more.
NW Georgia

Could be a Morrow Mountain but I believe it’s a Guilford Round Base. It’s been thinned down on one side at the base and feels ground.

Nice, I found a few round base Gilfords that looks to be the same or close to the material of the scraper; of course from N. Ala

It’s a stained black not sure of the colors underneath. But the quartz hasn’t been in the water long I didn’t even wash it.
Might be a Morrow Mountain I think it’s to wide for a Guilford after looking at some of the other quartz pieces I’ve found. First MM I’ve found in that creek
 

Yes 2023 has been good for you. I’d say that you’re in the lead! Miles yet to go.
