Hey, I’m new to this site and I need some help identifying some points that me and my son are finding in my backyard in Athens Georgia. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am just an amateur but me and my 4 year old son are having a blast going out after it rains and finding these points barely sticking up from the dirt. Also my yard has large stones of Quartz and a spring fed creek.

Going by first impressions it looks natural. Got anymore pictures of other artifacts from that area?

 

[JakeW_82]

Thanks for the help. Here are some different ones we found last week after it rained. There is a steep slope in my back yard going down to the creek with a lot of erosion. Also some appear to be zoomorphic.

Thanks for the pictures, unfortunately they're all natural stone. Keep looking and definitely look at some older post on here. I'm from Georgia as well.

Here's 2 pictures, most were found by me in South West Georgia (some in South East Alabama and Central Florida). Posting these just for examples.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Those are some nice points you got there. I’ll try to upload some more tomorrow if you don’t mind checking them out for me.

I agree with Mikes assessment on your posted pictures. What about that Crystalline Clovis you have as your avatar? Tell us about it? Anyway I know there are real artifacts in your area, keep on looking and never give up!

My grandfather found the quartz Clovis in my avatar. I believe he said East Tennessee about 50 years ago and he left it to me after he passed away.

I have a few more pics of what I believe is a type of tool that we found down by my creek. Maybe a chopper? I would like to get some feedback on it. Thanks again!

Also natural stone

Strange to me that you are asking about these natural jagged oddly shaped rocks when you have a crystal clear unmistakable Clovis as your avatar.

I hate to say it and be rude to a new member but Troll Morphic maybe.

This thread brought back that old familiar ringing in my ears... "For whom the bell Trolls!"

I don’t need any help with the Clovis in my avatar. I am not trolling just trying to bounce ideas. Some of the points/ tools that I posted are painted quartz, I guess they used the grey clay from the creek and mixed it with ash or pigments. I’ll upload a few more pictures, one piece sure looks like a mammoth and it’s painted so it can’t be natural. The other appears to be a blade that’s painted and still razor sharp. I just thought y’all would find it interesting.

Painted? Hmmm. Not TRYING to help with the Clovis. You need to learn to recognize knapping evidence and the preferred material for toolmaking in your area. As far as the recent pics, nope, nope, nope, nope & nope.

Welcome JakeW_82! Really liking your finds and pics! You and Junior keep up the hunt and never give up! Your Paw Paw would be mighty proud!

Nice! Can you please share a pic from another angle of the painted razor sharp blade?

No need, that's not a painted razor sharp blade.
