I usually get so excited finding a point that I snatch it up before I remember to take a pic, so those were my first in situs.

Me too. When i get home I always think "man, I should have took some pictures."

My first and only…

Nice way to start. That is a beauty.

Well here’s one from last year. Once in a while I find points that aren’t in my area. I found this and immediately thought it was some kind of Dalton. Then I changed my mind to a Savannah River 1st stage cause I know someone who found some big SR points.
Well I sent Relic Grubber a PM and he said it was a Guilford. I did a little research and it just doesn’t show being found in my area. Guess what it is? It’s a Guilford, so I guess I owe RG an apology. You were correct it’s what you said it was. It’s in my special finds case right now. Thanks for the I.D. Relic Grubber.

That is nice. I would have guessed it in the dalton class to. Learn something every day.

Wow. Nice.

One from a few years ago

Wow, another serrated. One of these days I'll find one.

This one was pretty visible from the right angle. I try to go one direction then criss cross the opposite direction which really helps.

That would be easy to miss. Blends in with the other rocks pretty well.

You go hoosier!

I like this thread so I'll post a couple more from that site I previously mentioned in SWOK. I took a lot of in situ pics that day cause my son and I were basically doing a field survey. The lake had been drained and we couldn't find any record of one being done before it went in. Very cool spot, and it's all back underwater these days. And you guys got some killer stuff you've found.

That’s a nice keeper. What state are you in?

I found this cool slate knife/celt like tool in the roots of a tree that had been submerged for along time.

This is a good example of how a point looks that’s been dug up by a gopher and had the rain wash away all the dirt around it.

This is a piece of string I found in a pile of what was probably human waste and food scraps in the back of a cave. One of my favorite finds. Pretty rare to find centuries or millennia old organic material.

Hey Creekside, I live in Oregon that's where I found this point. Also have a place in Morongo valley California that I'm hoping to explore more.
