This little LeCroy (according to Overstreet) was uncovered in a shallow ditch we dug,to bring spring water, by gravity flow, into our house. It was in a low small hollow not suitable for a living site, so it was most likely accidently lost or discarded, while dressing game. I have walked that well traveled trail on many trips to my favorite spot for deer and squirrel hunting. I did not realize I was traveling a footpath at least once traveled somewhere between 9,000-5,000 years ago. The majority of the artifacts I find at our farm are from this white milky quartz. I mount my finds and have a card to show where and when I found it, maybe I'm OCD. I forgot to size it. About size of a US quarter.

I found one just like yours about 3 years ago....nice findtapatalk_jpeg_1554672509642.jpg
 

Looks thick to be a LeCroy -- LeCroys were typically made on thinnish flakes; sometimes potato chip flakes.

Your second one is several thousand years older.

FWIW
 

Of possible help, St. Albans, Lecroy and Kanawha side by side:

Very nice find. I'd sure keep an eye out on that ditch.

Here's one that my son found years ago when he was 10 years old.
