My 2nd Red Point

[CreekSide]

Found a good point today made from
Ridge and Valley Chert. Thought I was going to get skunked. All the black chert insitu pics were broken. One bar I found everything in my hand. Broken quartz Triangle, flakes and a preform.

I think it’s a Benton maybe not this same one cause the edges aren’t beveled but still a Benton type. Same age

Nice score, excellent material as well. Glad you got a chance to get out; it's raining down here.

Yes it was raining here too. Started when I was about a 1/2 mile out so I just stayed. I have to admit it was a little cold in the 50s and the rain was cold.

Yes. So you think it originally was a blade and then repurposed or made that way from start

Probably a bigger knife then after resharping it got down to the size I found and turned into more of a tool. I have one I found last year out there without the base and probably used in the same manner. Most of the points and knives I find are almost to the very end of the use.
I did find some other things that I didn’t post. Found another Wade preform blade with some damage. Still nice to find. And a few other things lol.
