Some recent accessories I've turned up. Pestals, balls and a hammer head.

I found this oddity in the middle of what I considered an Indian camp, a place littered with obsidian chips and where I found two grind bowls. It looks like an eyeball.

Mein Gott huntsman, what a beauty! Call the Smithsonian they will send out an agent to pick it up, it belongs in a display case at the big museum. Seriously that is a beautiful point and a real arrow head. Most of the points we find are either spear points or else atlatl points.

found a crude one today. I don't know what kinda stone it is made from, but there is a big outcropping of this stuff out in the breaks. Never found anything made from it before, as most of it don't lend to conchoidal fracture. But there are little chunks of this stuff everywhere, and a snake den on the outcrop, and no chips/flakes anywhere. beats me why this guy used it.....

huntsman, from some of the points you have posted the guys that were making them were really good at it. This guy might have been just trying to prove he could make a point out of that crappy rock. I have noticed with my own knapping that the better I get the more willing I am to try out a piece of rock that I would have never tried before. I recently had a piece of quartz kick my butt. But I have seen fairly good ancient points that were made of the same stuff. Some of those old guys were really good at making points.

Questions from someone who's interested in getting into this hobby...
1. Are there areas or states that tend to be better? Any areas where you just won't find anything?
2. Sounds like creek beds and tilled fields are the places to focus on. Any others?
3. Any suggestions on books for a newb? You guys sound like you're using standard nomenclature to describe the pieces you find.
