Nice stuff you guys have I only have a few they don’t show themselves often for me so when they do it’s a day to remember.
First one is the 1st one I found when I was just getting into the hobby I wasn’t sure what it was but loved how it looked it’s made from crystal quartz.

Second one I just found last year and I was ecstatic unreal the tip was still intact when I found this one it was stained Black was cool to see it’s made from jasper after a long soak and scrubbing.
this was after first few rounds
Found this one 2 week later in the same exact spot within inches of previous one ... too bad it’s broke

This last one I’m not sure if it’s a drill or not any opinions welcome

Very nice #2 looks old and nothing like crystal maybe a knife on the last one .

 

[Older The Better]

this is the only tool I’ve ever found two pieces of,


This I think is a drill base, I’m posting it because to me it looks like it’s in an older style I’d be happy for any insight on it

Here's my two best: one Onondaga Chert, and the other - I suppose - is Jaspar. Both about 2.5 inches long.

Had about as much luck finding a good drill as I have a good celt, but I'll throw on what I have for the sake of the thread. You fellas really have some exceptional drills. I'm enjoying seeing what's out there.

Here's one I found on a drained lake bed. Made from what appears to be an old Kirk Corner Notch.

 

[Out Of Time]

Here is my contribution.

Obsidian from Napa, CA.

Found in the creek.



It's about 2" long.

There are some drills and reamer like tools in center portion of frame.

I have this broke one to share, must have been a beauty when it was whole. It’s about an inch and a half across!

Found at work on a lucky day

I walked right by this one on the beach without seeing it. Fortunately, my wife was right behind me. Rhyolite.





This one I found at one of the very few Late Paleo/Early Archaic beach sites I have located. Dr. Gramly told me it was Dalton-related.





And here's a Fox Creek Lanceolate drill the Mrs. found, made of Attleboro Red rhyolite:

 

[welsbury]

Did the Mrs. give you heck for missing that first one laying full out?
All very nice.
