NE Nevada Finds

[mmelugin]

Decided to put away the MD and go back to my first love of artifact hounding. Had a pretty good haul. These are the keepers. Would have been nice to have all of that first one and the awl too but no complaints. Quarters for reference

Yup...those are really nice. Don't see many of the smaller ones in that good condition. Super.

Welcome to the site! Interesting finds and much different from what I find here in SW Georgia.

Very nice ones in that pile. The bottom right one is actually a broken drill. That would of been great if whole but I would take it just like it is.

very nice finds congrats

Thanks for the correction on the drill. I was never sure if it was one or the other. It seems like a pretty hot spot so I hope to get back out there soon.

YW it is a drill. I find awls and gravers and a couple of drill bits once in a while.

Nice finds from my neck of the woods. Are the valleys snow free over there right now?

 

[mmelugin]

@arrowman. Some of them are snow free but as soon as you start up the canyons it gets snowy quick

Very nice days take!
The point at center, on the bottom row looks like an Oxbow, and the point to the left looks like a Pelican Lake variant

Those are both Elkos, a pretty common type in the Great Basin. They do look just like an Oxbow and Pelican Lake, didn't regions, different names.

If you read my post, I wrote that ''it looks like an Oxbow'' and ''it looks like a Pelican Lake variant''.
Your avatar does not tell where (state) you are located. Might we impose upon you this info?

This is one I found on the Carson River real close to where the river flows into Lake Lahontan. It looks a lot like the center bottom one of your finds, sort of the same style. Because it was strikingly different from everything else I found along the river, I assumed it to be much older than the rest. Do you think that's true? Arrowman said they are called Elko points. Is this one an Elko point?

I'm pretty sure I did read your post. If you would of read my post you would of saw that I said NW Nevada was my neck of the woods.

Nice point BosnMate. I would agree it's an Elko.
