Which one is the best

[CreekSide]

I’m trying to decide which one of these are going to be my year maker. In hand are probably the best 3. From left to right.
Bakers Creek, chert
Savannah River, salt and pepper quartzite
Elora a glossy black chert.
All creek finds for 2023.
Until a good rain comes I’m probably done due to the leaves falling. The little frame I’m giving to the owner.

Glossy black chert has my vote.

 

[unclemac]

the black dacite one, best material.

#3 for glossy black chert

The Savannah River but they are all nice artifacts!

I like the black but the long ground quartz has a lot going for it also

 

[newnan man]

I vote for the long one.

I'm not familiar with the types but that big long one has a very cool material and that knapper obviously had some talent to make it. Great point

I like that quartzite point. It's whole and pretty fine for field grade. I have very few quartzite finds. Not really sure if i have any whole points made of it. I do have a grinding stone made of quartzite. The NAs used it, but it was a difficult material.

There was a guy on here that went by Quartzite Kieth. He was a modern napper and had a lot of knowledge.

True. It’s very water worn has a ear on one side other side it’s been sharpened off. That’s why I went with SR on it. We have stage 1 and stage 2 types here. It’s the first whole one I’ve ever found of the large style and made from the salt and pepper quartzite. NC Rocks would know also if he was here. Most of those guys are on FB now.

I found 75% of these artifacts on one gravel bar just so you know 😃
It’s a hike to get there but one of the best bars I have ever seen for catching points. I like them both small one for quality and big one for the material it’s made from. I didn’t take them to the last show just the polished pebble. Maybe I will remember for the next show around February next year. Thanks for the help
