Pics are great guys. I walk around the farm every day with my eyes on the ground but have only found 4 in 30 years. I find lots of lead but rarely find artifacts

I find some pretty small points out my way. These are Kalapuya points from the southern Willamette valley. Mostly found in in plowed fields near old stream beds.

Any time you can find a worked piece is a good day. Spent many a day hunting artifacts and have been lucky enough to find a few in probably 100's of miles walked. Worked fields and crickes mostly. Have traded for a few points over the years but want certification on piece if l didn't find it. Here's some pictures of some of my stuff. Keep the really good stuff in a bank lock box. People are amazed at what the market price is on some of this stuff. [Linked Image]

Great finds and collects WT. We don't get too many spear points here because the cherts to the north of us and the gravel base here in the south of Texas aren't big enough. They would have had to trade for them. Most are the triangle projectiles from the paleo or archaic eras. The dating is not as concrete because of the lack of archeological digs over the course of the last 100 years, and the lack of a solid base of data of which to make conclusions.

I've been a student of history and native lithic (stone) work most of my life. Donna caught the fever when she met me. We often wonder, what we will do with these pieces hundreds and thousands of years old, when we get really long in the tooth?

My Mrs. loves looking for sheds and native lithic workings. It's fun to hear her yell, "I got a really nice one!" as I'm putting in a set.

Blessings,
Mark

Hard to believe those tiny points were not broken over the years, very cool.

I believe it's what they call a tongue pipe, but I ain't no expert at positive identification. I do know there are some Dalton, Schneider, Adena, Graham Cave, Scott's Bluff,and Sedaila points in there. Have several that I've found right around my house that two experts can't ID as to which tribe they can be attributed to.

That is just amazing to me. Seems as all the natives did was sit around and knap stone. You don't find that stuff in the northeast.

It's all good stuff but so much of it you find is broken up anymore due to farming. Still have the upmost respect for the original Americans, that they could make, and survive using rocks and sticks. I have a notion (probably wrong) that some of these indigenous peoples used blow guns to hunt with also. Some points I've found and such as what beaverpeeler posted, are so small and finely made, how would they have strapped them to a common arrow length stick and make them fly right. Common name I've heard applied to them is bird points.

You guys have some amazing collections, I found a broken axe head when I was a kid and I have found lots of pieces but never any perfect points. My cousin who farms near me has found lots of them over the years and looks for them all the time.
