good day at home

[DaveSmith]

I have a hay field in front of the house and a road/driveway going around it that runs in front of the house about 75 feet from the front porch. I found these a couple of months ago after a heavy rain in the road. The scraper (if that's what it is) is what I saw first and after looking at it I unceremoniously flipped the "red rock" over....( I laid the scraper back down after I flipped the other for the photo)Its in my top 5 of best finds. And I am terrible at identifying and dating these things so any help with identifying is welcomed.

there is a lot more out there!

The point looks like a Savannah River. Hard to date the scraper but since it was found with the point, it may be from the same timeframe.

That one was hiding in plain sight.

Very nice, I agree with Tdog about it being a Savanna River. The material looks to be red quartz.

Wash that nice red point off and show us another pic. I've never seen red quartz.

Will do, I have another red I found about 50 feet from this one only it was about 25 years ago or so.I will show both.

I said I had another red, but it is actually just partial red. I found the one in the middle about 25 years ago and has been a favorite of mine. It was about 20 feet from the side of the house. If you look close it has a small white tip off set from the center. The big red I found a few weeks ago was about 50 feet in front of the house. The other on the left I found in a river about 7 or 8 miles from my house. It appears to have the same off set tip on it and made from a completely different material. Any ID on the other two would be much appreciated. I apologize for the pics being up side down! lol

That looks like a difficult material to knap.

I have a friend that knapps and I asked him if he can make something out of quartz. His reply was "those boys were good"
