Hiked 3 permission fields today . No recent rain. Evidently the wind uncovered these. Lots of small, flint debitage.
The little guardian is 3” tall, for reference. One piece with great color.
Doesn’t amount to much, but still better than not getting out.
Seeing many deer tracks, a few hawks, etc. No big flocks of ducks heading south…yet.

By all the debitage you find it makes me wonder if someone hasn’t already picked up all the points.
I know, except more debitage keeps working up through the sand.
 

Sometimes I go out on a mission hoping to come back with something new, other times it just feels good to be outside and looking for points is more of something to do while enjoying the out doors. Sounds like you’ve got the same idea, hopefully you’ll break through soon and post a gem point but until then keep enjoying nature.
 

I’m surprised you haven’t found a point. If your spots were knapping stations you should be finding reject bifaces. Lots of them. Maybe they were making bifaces at the flint outcrop them taking them to your spots for further reduction? Widen your search area!

I’ll try. I’m on permission ground and can’t “fence jump” without trespassing. It’s not easy to expand out beyond these fields.
