Heartbreaker day!

[arrow86]

30 degrees and no rain .... sounds like kayak weather to me I went out and hit a spot that gave up a few nice ones last year.
First find was this nice little quartz point it has a needle tip on it , it surprises me to find as many quartz points as I do here because there’s so many other materials available that are much easier to use but maybe they were not as abundant at time the point was made

I decided to go check the spot where I found a really killer drill last summer and unbelievably within 3 feet of the spot I found this broken drill

After I found it I was thinking man what a heartbreaker probably heartbreaker of the season so I decided to check one more area at the same beach before heading back and looked down to see this

Heart was pounding from what I could see visible I thought maybe my first Clovis finally !! Or atleast maybe killer Paleo point all kinds so after calming myself down I pulled rest out

Yep ..... I literally almost cried lol if anybody understands that it’s you guys I’m still very thrilled to find even that but what a heartbreaker!

Looks like it was resharpened at some point

I think it may be Paleo but not sure anybody have any thoughts on it please share
Thanks
And few pics of the Chester river and hunting area

I think you called it at first .. the ones for the nose usually had a well polished shaft …. yours looks like a lot of nosebleeds to me lol . On another note I would place the other one in the archaic adena / Hopewell range = 550 BCE to around 500 AD . The style and knapping look's like it would belong in the mound building culture. Just a guess of course but that's what my gut instinct says.

I think so , I believe mine is a drill but I also never considered labrets as even an option I would think they (labrets) would be ground smooth and the piece I found is not

No problem, I do not insist on my opinion.
I only show items - facts.
Labrets different - just like people. Each individual expressed in his own way.

I appreciate your input and it was eye opening for sure I had never even considered labrets so moving forward I will keep that in mind and it’s another item for me to add to my bucket list .... those polished ones you showed are beautiful.

Its been very good to me. Several spots in my area have been promising. I should have some more good stuff to show in the coming weeks. Looking forward to seeing what you find next!
