tried to check out my spot today
ended up getting stuck in the mud on the road going into the field
I am glad I got stuck where I did because here is what I found next to the truck about 250 yards from where I wanted to go
I have another point similar but only serrated on one side
I really like this one
I wish I would've had my camera
I don't know what kind of material it is
does anybody know what kind of stone this is?
is it some type of quartzite????

Thats a beauty Larson, congrats.
 

Real cool point! My guess on the material would be silicified sandstone, also called Hixton by some. Maybe heat-reated which would explain the wicked color pattern, and put it in the Mississippian period, jmo! Thanks for the post bud!

Too far from you for a full-value two cents-worth, so a one cent-worth opinion : looks too fine-grained for Hixton, and not glossy enough. My uninformed guess would be Spanish Diggings Quartzite from out West.

Nice point ! :headbang:
 

Ok so you are driving out to the field and get stuck in the mud and come away with that?? I think its going to be a great year for you. Your best ever :icon_sunny:
