These were all found at the same location. i used my cellphone ca,era to get photos of them before and after I recovered them. The largest one is perhaps one of my most interesting finds. I will scan it soon and get the photos up here for you all. It is crafted from a very nice quartz piece and is missing (sadly) a large portion of the tip. It's large and beautiful in real life and i wonder if it was a hunting spear or perhaps a ceremonial item. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

P.S. I threw in the photo of the carp because it was there and kind of cool ;D

Haha! Thanks. I wonder if many people even eat Carp? I never have, but I hear that they are not so good. Yea, I will stick to picking up the cool stuff and leaving the dead fish alone ;D
 

That big un sure is a shame, what a big blade that was, probably used as a hafted knife, and I always thought those fish were called mud sharks :icon_study:
