Here’s a few from several different hunts:

This first is a cool late Archaic -Merrimack Projectile Point made of a fair quality local lithic called Marblehead Rhyolite:





The next is an interesting point, a Small Stemmed Quartz Point.
It has the correct size and shape metrics of a point we call a Squibnocket Stemmed Point.
It’s an extremely unusual example in that it has grinding on the sides of the stem (this type is explicitly noted to be without grinding)
It also has a median ridge on one side only, which may be attributed to the nature of the material.
I have played with the lightning as the lithic is difficult to illustrate details.









The last is an artifact that really got me excited. It is a Notched Net Weight, made from a cookie shaped stone with pecked out notches.








If this is too much in one post let me know

Nice! I find those types of netweights here in California. Most that i see people post are chipped out as opposed to pecked out. Sometimes only one side is pecked out. Our plummets are similar usually both sides are pecked out to create a knob.

Have a good one!

Love that rhyolite point Mucker. Don't see many that nice. I like finding those notched weights also.

Thank you for the comments. I believe the typical “net-weights” found on our NE coastLINE have sides notches that have been whacked (or hammered out) and then ground out.

The workmanship on this one (though lightly pronounced) is likely to be consistent with that method.

I’m betting that time, gravel, sand and water did most of the smoothing.

I’ve hoped to find a nice example for quite some time. So, it goes without saying how happy I am to find it.

Thanks again.

Points that nice out of material that crude are special, IMO.

Yes a nice find indeed! I as well find em where peck marks are visible where the notches are and sometimes ground smooth and no peck marks where the notches are. Here is a possible full grooved decent size weight I believe made out of serpentine not sure though. A little beat up and not the nicest groove. Found along a Salmon run.
