Translucent Thursday

[CreekSide]

Anyone can share a point or tool. I’m sure we all have found something that is transparent or translucent.

That Newnan is a smoker! What's the story on it?

I found it during my digging days in Hillsborough County Florida (about 2 feet deep). It's actually one of my best finds. I found a coral Hardee my third shovel in and that encouraged me to continue. After I found that Newnan I dug for hours afterwards and didn't find anything else that day (complete that is) but I didn't care.

Other than my banner (banded obsidian), these two are my favorite translucent points. I found both of them in the same general area.

Beauty, it’s a shame now days we have to put the permission statement. I forget once in a while to say it.

Pretty material. What’s the types and material on those? Age would be great to if you know. State? I’m in Georgia so I’m sure I don’t know

Fantastic points! is the side notched point an Elko Type?

This old Clay looks really beat up until it's backlit.

Both of these points are chalcedony. The top one is a Split Stemmed Eastgate (1,500-1,100 years B.P.) and the lower one is an Elko Eared (4,500-1,500 B.P.).

Both recovered on private farmland with permission in Northern Nevada.

Here's 3 more, the Marion (last picture) I found 3 shovels in starting a hole; a little later the Newnan (my previous post picture #9) was found. Actually all 3 posted here were from the same site.
