Real nice weather so a short hunt was in order grass was high so on with the snake guards . Tough hunting no bare ground and all the gopher mounds were powdery dirt nothing showing . No rain to wash things down so I just flipped every chip and found a few . Nice quartz Dart Martis Cluster and some Sierra Contracting Stem Cluster Late Archaic slate and basalt . I have a sore neck from looking at my feet for hours . N California Foothills

Nice hunt! I keep waiting for the floods to recede here. Dying to get out. Been fishing a lot and catching them in the azelas. It will be a dash when the water drops.

Are quartz points common in that area ? I am used to seeing these mostly in the Southeast.

Thanks looking closer today that point may have had an impact fracture on the other side and the base is snapped / Broken it had side notches not sure of type . I need to take a photo of the flip side Starting to have an Elko look ?

I really like seeing the work on that one larger(of the three) either basalt or blue-schist/cal slate point. They had to have a very durable tool for that work.
