This is my first post in this part of the TNet forum. My daughters and I have permission to detect on some private land(Northern Okla./Southern Kansas) and the landowners are fixing some creek crossings/water gaps. They have been doing some major dozer work and we decided to stop and look the gravel bar on our way to metal detect. We found some arrowheads/points! This was the first time I got to take an in-situ shot! The arrowhead was stuck in the mud with only the end showing and the dozer had been back and forth across it. I sure was praying 
it would come out whole and it did!! My littlest daughter(5) found a broken point and the oldest(13) found a couple of scrapers and a broken blade. If anyone could tell us about the material/age of these things and ID the type of points, we would certainly appreciate it! What is the blue chert called? and is the tan material Kay county chert? also, what about the pink material? Thanks for looking and for any info you might have~~~~~sandcreek4

We went back to this site today and found some more points and flint(debitage). We looked in the water along the edge of the creek and pulled out another red point. There was also another point made of foreacre chert. We found lots of pieces that look like they were worked along the edges(are these preforms?) . Todays pictures are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11--I tried to modify this post and put them at the bottom, but it didn't work--sorry! Thanks for looking~~sandcreek4
