I drove down to the river for a quick hunt. The water has gone down some but not near enough. Two brokes is all I found. The larger one is Indy green and would have been a nice early archaic point, possibly a Lost Lake. A whole one is pictured for reference.

Nice finds. I've searched the little creeks around here where I'm at and have never found any artifacts. I just wounder if the torrent spring run offs we have just doesn't pulverize most of the fragile microcrystalline artifacts. There are a lot of interesting alluvial rocks though that have washed down from the Rockies and some that are probably remnants of the ancestral rocky mountains. I should probably start collecting some of what I see.
 

You calling the little triangle a Madison or Fresno or whatever they are called in your area? Nice to see some new points, I like to think of them as little pieces of history lost for thousands of years and forgotten being brought back into the light.
