We all find them unfortunately

[CreekSide]

But I want to see yours!
I don’t find many old ones so I’m going to show some colors.
First is bases and last are some huge tips I’ve found. All are creek finds and last is the creek I like to walk which is over the banks another Heartbreaker.

I’ll go, the first one sure looks like it was a big, old, lance, the second is the greenish one in the top middle, I put other points in as scale but just looking at the angle and extending the lines, seems like it was from a very large blade again with the possibility of being a transitional era point

Dime on large broken blade for size reference.

Rarely have I found a perfect artifact in the amount of hunting I've done in the western states. I just enjoy finding any evidence left by those from the past and being outdoors.

About a 100 to one finding intact points verses brokes in my experience.

I agree, still lots of information and cool. wandering around in the woods and creeks is a fine consolation if I don’t find anything, love being outdoors.

Here in the rocky west it's like 300 to one. Deer, Elk, Sheep and Cattle had to have stepped on just about ever square inch at one point in time.

Some of my "brokes". There's a few in there that are frame-worthy.

Even the broken ones have a story to be told. For example this black one you can see they were attempting to thin the base but instead it snapped. By the edges on sharpening it looks as if they used it as a scraper anyway.

I found a big tip of a knife just the other day it looks just like the bottom one 2nd left. I don’t find many over 2 inches long. Nice display

With 32 views on my pictures alone there should be more than just 4 people posting counting myself. Let’s post everyone. This forum need’s people posting. Everyone that collects finds broken artifacts.
Thanks to the members that did post. Even broken they can still be beautiful

I just found one last night!

I’m waiting for the sun to shine to get better pics. It’s translucent, also.

Here’s a couple more that I’ve found, I call “The Twins.” Lol

 

[WannaDig3687]

And this tiny thing!

 

[CreekSide]

Thanks for sharing those with us

Got a brand new…. Biface, Spokeshave? Drill? Scraper? Knife? I’m having a hard time sorting it out. Seems appropriate for this thread

 

[CreekSide]

Looks a lot like one I just found. Probably a Early Archaic multi tool
