Since it's my birthday I decided to get a hunt in and see if I could find a nice "birthday point" and I hit the jackpot. I didn't have my camera with me since it was raining and I didn't want to take a chance at getting it wet. It's a shame too, because it would made a great in situ picture. It was laying completely exposed with a tip sticking straight up in the air. It is near perfect condition. The smaller tang isn't broken, it's just been sharpened more on that side and the tang has been sharpened off. The tip is also flaked at that angle and not broken. It's not real big, only 1 1/2" long, but it's the best Pine Tree I have ever found. I also found a few Flake Knives and Scrapers, which is typical of this site. It seems like about 80% of the flakes you find here have been utilized and have at least one edge flaked on it.

The 1st picture is the finds of the hunt. The next two are the Pine Tree before I cleaned it and the last two are after I cleaned it.

don't clean points

What do you by "don't clean points"? I'm not talking about using any kind of chemicals on them. I don't even use soap, just warm water and a very soft toothbrush. Don't you at least clean the dirt of of yours?


Thanks for the birthday wishes guys.
