All nice, but the big stemmer is super. I know that made your day.
 

I know a lot of local hunters. It's clear you have some damn good spots. Third photo is a Fox Creek Stemmed, made of Attleboro Red Rhyolite, Middle Woodland. The small quartz triangle in photo 4 is likely a Squibnocket Triangle, Late Archaic. Last photo, quartzite, I'll go with Middle Archaic Neville point.
 

Thanks Charl. Did not know what that one was. Thank you. Heres todays. New spot. Got lucky. Drove 35 miles in circles looking for new ground. Found a nutty knapping area today.

I am Referring to the Fox Creek. Thank you so much on the ID. I wpuld bet on your bet. Thanks.

I have over 10 traingle points. I believe some are snappit. The acute triangle are the squibnockets and the isosolies are snappit points perhaps. I do not know for sure. Just going of Pics. Heres some to compare. I believe the big one and the one next to it are a squib and rest are snappit

If it helps, by definition, Squibnocket Triangles do not have grinding. Snappit triangles have some grinding in the concave base, and some grinding for 6-8 mm along the lowermost lateral edges. Triangles can be among the most difficult to distinguish. This is especially true of those found on shorelines subject to washing by tides, as that very water wear can smooth the base and edge, making it harder to distinguish water wear from grinding at the time the point was made.
Found at inland sites, the lack or presence of grinding can be used to at least make a tentative call....
