Title: Found something cool this week . . . Post by: indianasmith on July 27, 2007, 01:49:42 PM I'll try not to bring my hobby to this forum too often, but this point is just too pretty not to share, and I happen to have photobucket already pulled up . . .

Post by: trekgeezer on July 27, 2007, 01:55:10 PM Man, that's really cool looking! I've had a couple of arrowheads and the neck of Indian pottery jar since I was kid, but nothing that cool looking. I also have a bunch of shark's teeth. My big brother used to find all this stuff back in the mid 60's when they were building the interstate through our area.

Title: Re: Found something cool this week . . . Post by: indianasmith on July 27, 2007, 05:01:06 PM It's not quartz, although some Indians did knap points out of quartz. It's an agatized chert out of Oklahoma known as Pine Top chert . . . I had found flakes of it before, but that's the first point I ever found made of it.
