It’s been a long time over a year since I have found anything good in the creek that I went to. I was so happy to see something other than rocks I jumped and grabbed it and washed it off. It’s a nice blade and a good sized one too. I have permission to 4 creeks still. 2 are really hard to get to and one really good and then this one. I’ve found some killer pieces out there for the 1st 3 years but not so much now. I’m hoping to change my luck this year. Has a nice Bullseye on the one side. Pics don’t do it justice. It’s brown, tan some green and some yellow.

Thanks Mike, it looks broken on the base but it actually has a flat spot with cortex on it. Might be a preform but has sharp 2ndary flaking around the edges.

Maybe a late stage preform

Thank you, it’s colorful. I didn’t realize it was a preform until after I posted it. It’s thin just no stem. I’m thinking cause of the fracture looking spot on the one side. Probably would of broken if they had tried

Many blades like that were used just as they are. Nice find!

This one was chipped from a cobblestone.
