Finally got out after the flood waters went down. Found some interesting stuff. Couple nice points and lots of tips flakes and scrapers. 1 top of a drill that really ticked me off when I pulled it out without a bit. Rhyolite and big plus we dont get alot of drills here. Some of these are from a sod field I went to while working today and I hunted while they loaded. 20 min and I had a nice 1 plus some tips and a base. Going tomorrow to try to get offical permission. Also in there is a larger pink point that I also show the tip of. Looks to be worked on tip though originally i thought it was broke. What do you think? I included a broke triangle near the end cause im trying to figure out the material. Let me know if you know. Last is a rough chopper or hand ax. Natural rock with a worked bit. Thanks for checkin it out.

Pretty nice stuff ya found there ,I love those Quartz points,especially the pink quartz blunt/blade....great artifacts!
 

Thanks man. You hunt anywhere near western md or northerm w va?
 

Most of my finds are from Randolph county,along a field ive been hunting in upsher county WV its what id consider eastern WV with surrounding county's being upsher,tucker and barbour counties,where in WV do u hunt,it would be great to arrange a hunt together man!
 

I do a kayak weekend from cumberland md down to berkely springs. Usually fishing but Im allways lookin on the shores while the rest fish. I have yet to find any there. You ever hear of any on the potomac that far north.
 

Nice group of finds man. I've always wanted to hunt the north eastern part of WV. I've heard great things about the headwaters area of the Potomac River and some of the surrounding areas.
 

Thanks 37. I have to and I know that there is a prehistoric rhyolite quarry up there somewhere too but its been nada so far. Ill keep lookin as always.
 

I know that the "elk river" is definatley game ,people have been finding them on that river for years!
 

Thanks man i really needed it. It has been slow for a while.
