Today's finds

Picked these up today at our ranch in South TX and thought I'd share. Thanks

Very nice pickem ups. That is a hunt we all need at times.
 

Great looking finds. The piece at 3 o'clock looks Paleo to me. Any grinding on that one?

Not sure what you mean by grinding. I'll take a look if you explain. I don't think I've found any others with that shape. Most are the triangular, flat base Tortugas or the teardrop type. All the points in that photo were picked up within 100 yd area so I would assume that they were of a similar age. I know next to nothing on the subject though so that could be totally wrong.
 

Check the sides close to the base. If they are ground it will feel smoother then the rest of the edge of the blade. Paleo pieces are usually ground smooth near the hafting area.

Ok. I leave all my finds in a case at the ranch so ill check when I go back next week. Thanks
