Post some Florida points

[GatorBoy]

I don't get to see nearly as much great Florida material as I used to on the forums.. for several reasons.. I get it.. but I would like to ask for your help in putting a nice display together on this thread even if you don't post often. Thanks.

That's a beauty too!
I have only one broken point of what looks like that same material.
Something about a black point is just bad adze to me.

Nice Tom!
That is one Funky Duval!
Makes me extra happy about finding this one that came out so good.




I didn't find this Duval but it's a great example of the bulbus base variety.

Gorgeous EastTN Joe!!

Here is my first and ONLY point I ever found, this summer right on the 4th of July. It was on the beach here near a shell pile, could have come from anywhere. I couldn't believe it was even a point, I was soo excited! GatorBoy confirmed for me.

Thank you very much for posting Steve.
I'm so used to seeing such large displays from you this almost seems odd.
Do you know what part they came from? The Patina is usually pretty distinguishable from one waterway to another here.. they look like they would be land finds but not from my area.

They came from north Florida right along the Georgia border.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thank you.. they have that same looking "deep south" patina as some Georgia points I have.
Nice tray.. we need to work on getting you a coral piece in there.

It's very nice to see those pieces.. though they aren't much and I wish I could have done more.
Thanks for taking care of them.

You did far more than you had to! Thank you! You have no clue how many people these pieces have wowed. They are so different.

 

[GatorBoy]

Good to hear buddy.

[GatorBoy]

A pretty little woodland blade made of baybottom chert.




Woodland chipped chert axe, same size and shape like the commonest type of shell adze/axe here,and likely hafted the same way, too. The top is smoothed and the bit is sharp, used.

 

[centfladigger]

oh what the hell might as post a point, all the big florida collections are being bought up by 1 individual so we wont be seeing those artifacts ever again

 

[tomclark]

All from PINELLAS lol.


@5 feet down, edge of lake tarpon, fl




One of my favorites the pic doesn't show the chocolate color with little specks, another Woodland form FL


Few rikers from same site Late Archaic, Woodland to Missisippian Crappy pics and just about half of the types found..so many intermediates.
