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.

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.
