Got Perforators?

[Tdog]

A few perforators I've found over the years. From left to right, the first three are unifacial. Post up yours if you like.

Nice ,in the first pic, the piece in the top right corner I really like ... I swear when I first zoomed in on it the marks / design looks like a persons head with a wolf head on top .... haha maybe too many beers but nice stuff

Just beer??

Top photo, middle row far left... Thunderchicken. Bottom row, fourth from left... seahorse. Bottom row, third from right... Ivory-billed woodpecker. Gonna need a few swigs of moonshine before I’ll be able to see a person’s head with a wolf head on top though!

Kindest regards,

I don't know if I've ever found the type perforators y'all have, and don't know if this one even qualifies. I always called it an awl because of the sharp, slender form and the diamond-shaped cross section.

Wow! I wonder if that would qualify as a Bradley Spike! Nice piece!

Here's a few. Not sure that they count though. The little one is more of an engraver than a perforator in my opinion. It looks thin in the photo but is triangular and two of the three faces are worked.

The large one, I'm really not sure what it's all about and would welcome opinions on what kind of tool it was or if the maker just gave up. The tip is a right angle, very pointy (scientifically speaking), and unifacially reduced.

The knife with the needle tip should qualify. It was the first point that my 8 year-old son ever found and is still his favorite. It seems to be a multi-tool to me.

Whatever you call that, it's really cool!!

It dawned on me this morning that a broke piece I found yesterday is actually a reworked graver/perforator. The little point has very fine pecking on it.

Here are a few of my finds.

Obsidian from Napa County.
