I found mostly brokes but did find three scrapers and one whole coral point which I like. Here's the pic.

Here's another closer pic of the coral point.

It's made from agatized coral which is coral which have been replaced by agate, a variety of quartz chalcedony. So it's actually a fossil. Most points that I find in this area are either made of agatized coral or chert. Here's a piece of coral that I found in a creek.

Well that is really cool. I learn every day on here. I can see why they would use the fossil. Thanks for the lesson and pictures. :read2:
