Northern California finds

[Pancake]

When I was a teenager, 20 something years ago, I lived about 45 minutes north of Redding CA for a couple years. I found these while walking in the woods up there. Just re-found them in a box of old stuff I was gong through. Great to see them again.

Some very nice points there! Glad you were able to find your box of old stuff. I know how frustrating it could be to know you have something really cool packed away somewhere and not remember where it is any more.

It really is cool to see them again after all these years. I had a decent idea of where they'd be if I still had them and went looking and they were neatly wrapped up in the first box of old junk that I went through.

I'm just learning how to type and date the points I'm finding here in Mass. Does anyone know the types/dates of these ones.

They look like all the points found in that area. Probably Wintu or Miwok. More likely Wintu as I have found those types in Shasta Lake drainage area along the Pit River arm.

I concur with the comments on the obsidian. Beautiful material!
