The one above the circled point as well. That's why I hadn't posted on this thread.

Why not the one below the circled one as well?..It shares the same shape.

Thanks for the feedback - the circled one may well be a plant! Have some new ones from yesterday- will appreciate your responses!

It isn't finished out and could just be a preform. But you are correct that it may have come from the same place.

This piece looks like a core (a parent stone from which flakes were removed to make other tools/weapons). Could be used as is for chopping/cutting tasks.

Thanks, Tdog!

Looks like a garnet.

Lol, I said to my self the exact same thing....

Looks like they have been here since 2013.

The Point Tdog circled is a classic gift shop Point sold for about a dollar. Someone may have been messing with you threw it out for you to find.

also agree that the circled point isn’t old. The others look good. Nice finds.

There are places nearby that hold literally thousands of them.

Doesn’t look like a point to me. If that’s a gift shop point, it’s the laziest example I’ve ever seen.

That first little oval point is interesting. I know its hard but is it possible to get really focused pics of both sides that show the flake scars?

Will try - appears to be quartz has some worked edges but a lot of damage. Thanks! Do you know of any history around tri-faced points? Are they even real artifacts?

The tri faced piece isn't a point. Just a worked and unfinished item.

Thanks for the pics. Its really hard to see the flaking. Oil thought it might be a fluted paleo point from the first pics but now I don't think it is. Cool item regardless.

"Trifaced" suggests it's a core when you think about it.
