When I was a teenager, 20 something years ago, I lived about 45 minutes north of Redding CA for a couple years. I found these while walking in the woods up there. Just re-found them in a box of old stuff I was gong through. Great to see them again.

Some very nice points there! Glad you were able to find your box of old stuff. I know how frustrating it could be to know you have something really cool packed away somewhere and not remember where it is any more.
 

Beautiful cornernotched points! :icon_thumleft: Love those obsidian points!
 

It really is cool to see them again after all these years. I had a decent idea of where they'd be if I still had them and went looking and they were neatly wrapped up in the first box of old junk that I went through.

I'm just learning how to type and date the points I'm finding here in Mass. Does anyone know the types/dates of these ones.
 

They look like all the points found in that area. Probably Wintu or Miwok. More likely Wintu as I have found those types in Shasta Lake drainage area along the Pit River arm.
 

I concur with the comments on the obsidian. Beautiful material!
