Introduction

[UTDev78]

After leaving Virginia where i built up a sweet Civil War collection while metal detecting, I am now in SW Ohio and re-starting my creek/farm field hunts for points and tools. Metal detecting is a blast but nothing will match my VA experience. I am placing my points in display cases and for each, I am identifying name, cultural period, length, width, and county found. May need some help on some finds. I would appreciate any help with this quest! I am not sure if this a Dickson point or not. I spend a lot of time on 3 separate point ID websites and will do so before I ask for help.

Thanks! Tim

I grew up in Chillicothe and lived 1 mile from the where the Tecumseh re-enactment takes place. Walked the farm fields a ton and have some nice finds. Will show them in the near future.

Welcome, I grew up in south Columbus, later in Grove City. I walked the fields along the Scioto River, southern Franklin County & Pickaway County were my stomping grounds. I also looked quite a bit in Ross County along Paint Creek and in Scioto County. Looking forward to seeing your finds.

Thanks for the welcome!
I also posted Creek Finds #1 with other finds. Been finding a lot of tools, weights and some rock art in the creeks as well

That point could be a Dickson. A lot of the stemmed points are late archaic and early woodland in my area. Hard to distinguish a Mason, Kramer, Dickson. They tend to overlap each other in their construction.

I’d believe Dickson, probably what I would settle on.

Geographic location and the contracting stem led me to select Dickson over the others that ToddsPoint mentioned. Regardless, I appreciate the input from all. Very kind and helpful.
