First one up

[GarGuy]

Please take focused closeups with something for scale.

[GarGuy]

That's a classic friley. About 1000 years old.

[Statton48]

Second one. Is it petrified?

[Statton48]

Third ones

[Statton48]

Fourth set

[Statton48]

And this.. I have alot of grinding stones, half a pottery pot, and alot of other unique points but these are the ones I thought were more intersting

[GarGuy]

I would like to see closeups of the circled points if possible. Focused, with flaking visible if possible on both sides.

[GarGuy]

Second is a petried wood Gary. About 3000 years old. Next is another friley and an Alba. 1000 years old. Then the two Knives....geez... I would really like to hear the story on who, how and where they were found! Not specifically where but part of the state.

[Nate C]

This one is from willbarger co. near lake kemp.

[Statton48]

Steve, the two blades were less than a foot away from each other when I found them. Trust me my heart sank!! They seem to pe on great condition from what I, a rookie, can tell. As far as part of the state, right outside of longview not even 10 miles.

Awesome stuff here!

Here's a couple more to identify.

White one I found on our place in Pflugerville and the red one I found in Cotulla.

[GarGuy]

Nate, that looks like a nice little worn out Plainview just form looking at one side. 10,000 or so years old.

They are very nice and I suspected they were together. I would be willing to bet there are three or four more of them in the dirt right there. You might want to go back and dig a little. I am going to call those Delhi even though they don't perfectly match the type. The reason I say that is there was a middle archaic trade route through East tx and often points identical to that were made in a "generic" style to be traded. These points virtually always come in cache groups of 4-8 blades.

Tim, those are a little too damaged for me to positively ID. I will say though that the point on the left is ancient. It is probably a rootbeer color in reality. The white on it is purely patina that grows on Edwards chert. If you knocked a little piece of, it woiuld amaze you to see the original color inside. It took many thousands of years to grow that patina over the flaking.
