No Copenas today

I thought the quartz one was a thick Copena when I saw it but looks more like a tool/ scraper now. The big black tip in my hand was a huge HBer. Would love to find one like that whole. Got a small tool or knife and some flake tools. Creek was muddy so all these were on the gravel bars.

Good finds! At least you're finding something. I've about give up, been up and down the creek all weekend, nothing but critters lol but right now we are getting a really nice storm so hoping to find something after work tomorrow but rain is in the forecast all week and I'm not complaining.

We got 3 inches of rain so far in the past 2 days. Im sure the creek flooded now cause it was already high when I was there. Hopefully it turned the gravel again cause the last turn wasn't good at all. Hope you find a killer

Yes most of my triangles that look like Daltons are Copenas I have found out. I also learned they were from a time frame from Archaic changing to Woodland. But still considered a Woodland point. I found that interesting. I have found 1 in quartz to but it doesn't show well in a pic.

Those are really nice.
I have just a few I know are Copena and many that may be. I have a hard time typing the triangles even still. :thumbsup:

These are also called "nipple points" due to the knot towards the base almost like a bulb of percussion that wasn't removed and left on. All 3 are the same design and I was told they are Copenas Auriculate variants. I sure was hoping for Dalton or Paleo but it is what it is.
