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 Google bottom notched arrowheads from fla A site called projectile points will come Up Very interesting site to explore

Basal notched
But again, let me think about it.
I might go with a "Culbreath"
The redish one, It looks like a reworked tip at a glance. Hard to say for sure.

The 'chuck bucket'. Come back and empty the pouches and pockets in this bucket. Brokes, blunts, tools, scrapers, pecking stones, hammer stones, preforms too. I found that broken bannerstone in one of last yrs buckets. Need to take a slow day and go through it and scrub it. Some tools turn out to be quite worthy after the mud is erased. Last couple months worth. Still have another 1/2 bucket worth in the floorboard. forum image hosting

Today's finds. Neither me or slumlord found any really standout peices today. Slumlord found a pretty cool ovoid peice though.

I should have used something other than the Coke can. This was found in our pasture 70 some years ago. A hammer?

Richard, I've seen artifacts like that used for 2 purposes.
Usually the more highly crafted and streamlined ones were used as a war club.
The heavier and bulkier ones were used to break open big bones and skulls for the marrow or brains they contained.
The brains were used for tanning hides. The marrow was a delicacy. Much like butter. Indians loved that.

That same form was also used to anchor nets, Both for fishing, and for rabbit drives. Have one about the size of an elongated grapefruit that came from Montana.

James, looks like you need help too. Yeah, this. Yall are lucky to have that, Slumlord. Great stuff. Us kids never found one working the plowed fields in flat Polk Co land Grandad had in east Texas. I found a few in west and central Tx and SE NM Sacramento Mts years ago. Dayom few and far between.

Sure seems to be a goldmine of artifacts from the south country, we sure dont get those kinds of finds up here where I live, I wonder if the soil down there makes it more suitable for finding these gems.

Today was a pretty good day except for the mud soup. Several finds myself and renegade.
Lots to scrub up.
Good thing is, we got in there before the meth tweakers did.

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. That's some pretty stuff! After doing some more research I think what Don has is THIS stuff... https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Dendritic+agate&FORM=HDRSC2The branching patterns in that agate resembles the branching growth patterns herples simplex causes in blinding by scarring "dendritic corneal ulcers" if not treated with toxic antivirals quickly enough, Barry. I get depressed every time i look at this thread. Dayom id like to find some nice points like yall have tons of. I found most of mine as a kid, digging through pea gravel loads from creekbeds in east Tx or in the boonies of W Texas around Big Springs. I found a few in mts of NM archery hunting but i got too tall to see the small ones. My wife has found several around Independance Creek that flows into the pecos river. The Indians camped in the Independance Creek valley around a big set called Caroline Springs which years ago produced 9 million gallons a day. A patient owned the ranch for years before selling it to the Texas Nature Conservancy. Huge areas of flat rock the springs flowed of at places have many round holes worn down in the rock from eons of grain grinding.
