sunday morning finds

[Treefrog]

spent 3 hours walking a almost grass grown field. still found a couple nice ones!
the small brown one is a sublet ferry, the other a kirk? maybe snapped base even?

Luv that last one....Drill or graver??Congrats on a great hunt..

 

[Treefrog]

I was thinking the last one is a big drill with the point broke off.
ya Tn_mtns ive not had time to hunt in a few weeks.
this may be the last from this field this year if they don't re-plow it soon.
Ill have to go back to my shelters.

Nice finds, but just for your information, there is no such this as a "Snapped Base Point", I don't care what Overstreets says. It's just a point with a damaged base.

 

[Treefrog]

Ive heard that before as well, Ive often thought about that too.. it makes me wonder though why the thick base would break and not the narrow point, I guess dropped maybe?
I would think if its hafted and prying, the tip would break instead.
this particular one has some thinning strikes up the base like small flutes
I wonder if those were there when it broke or put there after to reuse it?
they seem to go high up to me if the base were all there. I dont know but have often wondered about these types. this is the 1st one Ive really had that was mostly all there.
Im glad I finally got one to ponder on.
thx for the input
