Does anyone have info on the second one from the left?

There was a hail storm today. Had to run for shelter.

I don't have anything for sure, other than it looks like a decent little dart point.

yeah the second is a nice small point. The rest are broken or debitage waste material.

I think the third from left is a Silver Lake stem which is about 7,500 to 11,000 years old. Maybe not.

You know your area better than me. I keep broken ones if they interest me.

Any piece of material I see worked fascinates me. I can walk for hours just looking at worked flint and stone. Early on I used to pick it all up but I got such buckets full now I can't bring it all home.

LOL I got a 5 gallon bucket Im trying not to fill. But when you find them in the dirt you either have to guess or put them in your mouth to find out. It depends on how caked they are before I put them in my mouth to clean them. Most wont admit they do that but I bet most do.

Ventana Side Notch Projectile Point

Nice Finds! The one below the penny looks like a Mckean point.

Yea or maybe a humbolt

Nice hand-full! I too tend to walk for miles for a pocket of rocks. Don't know about that point- as I'm on the other side of the Mississippi, hunkering down in the Blue Ridge. Your area is beautiful though, so it can't be too much of a hardship... I envy your agate.. HH! Yakker

...and you can walk in the high desert in 100 degree heat with no real discomfort. Wear a hat and drink water regular like...long sleeves too..but 100 degrees in the desert with no humidity is a nice walk indeed. Oh, and since you are looking down...wear a kerchief covering your neck.
