And just for thought Some gameballs, some are rounded ball-n-socket animal bones. Others clay and some ground smooth limestone. Probably more Woodland or Mississippian era. Not entirely sure. Encounter them every now and then walking the miles of rows.

Kinda forgot what that small Clovis looked like. Black one right below it. Is that some type of Dalton? I wish that fishtail dalton I found didntbhave that side impact strike. The one in the lower left Is that kinda oval midsection thru its overall length.
I have something that looks like it Kinda like a lance I have always thought it is a lerma. so many gawt damm nuances and similarities Makes it hard to id stuff sometime
I need ya to take a look at that haw river I think i got The fine serrations on both beveled edges lead me to think that is what it is.
This id thing kicks my arse sometimes.
I always make fun of the Pokemon game balls But those look like museum peices almost.

Several years ago my son found one of those round ball shaped stones about 2" in diameter and all white in color. I forget now where but read somewhere that his was probably an old mill stone.

I lean towards it being a Greenbriar. Hard to come by around here, nonetheless. Fozzie B found one once. Beginner's luck.

Dad found one really nice Clovis base. He was digging topaz in a wash in Mason county Texas when he found it.
He also had about 1/2 dozen clay balls about the diameter of a nickel that came out of an old occupation site on the Atascosa river in Soith Texas. Not far from where he was raised. Next time I’m over to archaeologist son’s house I need to pull out some of the stuff dad found. Son has his collection now. . Get some pics and post. He had some pretty awesome stuff.

3 more today. The little translucent stunner is a right purty sumbish. It has little veins, or roots, or some damn thing in it. Kinda hard to get a real good pic of it.

Yeah, Don.. Moss agate!
Had found a couple of nice points out of that stuff. They are rare and more valuable!

It's too bad this great thread gets buried so quick and so deep behind political threads and 'ketchup' threads.
I barely see the use in myself continuing to contribute to it.
Nice points btw Huntsman.

That moss agate scraper is something else. Very tough material to work without some added heat treatment.
Excellent picture there.

I'm a long ways from the Yellowstone, but I'm just down the road from Agate, CO. Although Agate is not actually named after the rocks. It was shortened to Agate from A-Gate. The gate to the cattle shipping stockyards on the railroad had a big 'A' on it, and the railroad folks called the whole area A-Gate......just a short local area history lesson.

Nice points btw Huntsman. Please continue! I am in Sweden in an area largely lacking any possibility to find arrowheads, and I can't tell you how interesting I find your posts and this entire thread! Keep showing us your finds, and telling us about them -- I have learned a LOT! John

I've never seen anything like the moss agate point, beautiful!
I agree with jpb, this is a great thread and one I always look for. I hope that those in areas where artifacts can be found will continue to post them.
I can't find much around here worth posting. There are a couple of places where I can usually find a handful of flakes and a few small pieces of pottery, but even a broken point is very rare. It has been years since I found a complete point, but I keep looking.

Yeah, Don.. Moss agate!
Had found a couple of nice points out of that stuff. They are rare and more valuable! Barry, There’s also a variety of moss Agate that came off the old Woodard ranch south of Alpine Tx. I was there once in 1965. Dad used to agate hunt there a bunch when I was a little kid. Seem to remember them calling theirs "plume" agate.

After doing some more research I think what Don has is THIS stuff... https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Dendritic+agate&FORM=HDRSC2

Here are a couple of points from central FL. They were from a field my Great Uncle used to farm, near a small creek. Wondering what kind of points are these? Are they from different periods? They are about 2 1/2 inches long. Thanks! GW Hey, I am hoping one or two of you knowledgeable guys can tell me about these two points. I am wondering what period they are, and what they are called? Any input would be great. Thanks! GW
