A Few Points From a Northern Nevada Hunt

[oldmxrat]

Back in Reno for the summer. Been jonesing to get out and look for rocks as it's been a couple of months since I had a chance.
Headed out to a spot that usually gives up something worth keeping. It was a perfect 80 degree sunny day with humidity at 15%.
Here are the results:
5 Humboldts
a dinged Rose Spring
a nice, thin tip
and a shell bead

I haven't been lucky enough to find any of those yet but I always have my eyeballs peeled. Those are very nice points!

My nephew gave me a point from Oregon he found that looks like the 2nd one from the left. It's Obsidian too. Those are all very nice finds.

Thanks NM.
It looks like an Early Leaf type, which we find way up close to Oregon, but the base is a little dinged and I think it was a Constricted Stem Humboldt.

Very cool. I used to hunt your area quite a bit.. found a lot of beads and points. Great finds.

I had a paiute indian buddy that was a council member at Pyramid Lake. He used to take me out to hunt different areas around the lake. I found some amazing artifacts on those hunts!
I would pick him up when I'd take my boat out on the lake to wakeboard and ski with my friends and he would just sit in the bow of the boat all day with a big smile on his face. He was a great human being. Sure miss all that.
