Good day in the creek in Illinios

[BobGuy]

We got a bunch of rain last weekend and the creeks were way up replenishing the artifacts. I found all of these in the creek today. The rain gods were good to me!

Does anyone know what type of point the top left one is and the one directly below that one?

If it were my creek I would say the rain gods were working in cahoots with creek spirit! Points and pottery too is very cool! I'm not good at typing points but this link the examples look real close to what you found and it would be a day maker for me if I found it...good eye and love the insitu pics! Adena Narrow Stem Projectile Point It also has similarities to this one Hardin Projectile Point scroll down to either one of pics on those pages. Now I could be way off on the type but someone will come along soon and let you know what they think. Great finds!

Those were exactly the two that stood out to me when I was looking up the type. I was leaning towards Adena but wanted others feedback. Thanks for the reply!

Big Sandy Contracting / Auricle Base Projectile Point

Kirk Stemmed Projectile Point

Hard to call the "Adena" blade without having it in hand however, scroll down and take a look at the Stemmed Kirk images, there's a dead ringer......
