And thank yall!

Here’s a couple from Palo Pinto county. I thought the sandstone ball was pretty neat. Thanks in advance for any info on these.

The ball is cool. I have a couple like it. The point is worn slap out. Too far gone for a definite id.

Thanks GarGuy. I alway appreciate the fact those exhausted points have seen a lot of use and would love to know the stories they could tell, but I’d sure like to have seen it before it was whittled down.

Nice finds, the sandstone ball in particular. ;)b

Thanks. The crazy thing is, it was in some plowed ground and I almost didn’t pick it up. My first though it was a mud ball formed by the plow somehow.

Trapper, I don't know what part of Palo Pinto county you're in but check out Village Bend on the Brazos. Fascinating history of Indian and Paleoindian occupation in that big bend west of Mineral Wells. I found some good points and a several likely gravesites on a ranch near there.

Quarterback I know the villagebend are of the brazos well. I grew up trot lining yellow cat in and just below the bend, with my grandad. Worked on a ranch just above the bend and across the river from it in high school. We would have to cross the river horseback and retrieve the ranch cattle that crossed when the river was down. I found a beautiful little bird point on the ranch I was working for. I probably could have found pile of artifacts, but I was more interested in cowboying and chasing split tails. My family came to Palo Pinto county after the civil war and settled on the river several miles north of villagebend at oaks crossing. Any links to the Indians @ villagebend would be very much appreciated.

Can I get a name on this one. Complete point but only notched on one side.

Got two more for identification.

What I found today.

Curious about the black point and I believe the longer slender one is a Darl? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Both are likely hoxie

Not sure on that one

I work with an archaeologist who specializes in lithic. I could ask him what he thinks.

That would be great!
My buddy found this one today. Not sure what kind.

Another hoxie

Have you compared the last picture with a Zephyr?

I usually consider zephyr to be a broader stemmed point . It's possible though. Hoxie is usually stem ground and the I'm sure I can see that on the first two. Not sure if last one is ground .

Sorry its taken so long to find time to post these.
Pottery shards on the right, couple from the rim.
Scraping tools, bird points, and im not sure of the double pointed head.. in the middle.
Flipped all the tools over.

Some of that has an Africa look. Odd uniface strikes.

Middle archaic. Maybe marshall.

All of those are my own personal finds. All from Ottawa county..i have more if i can find them.
Some are from the Minneapolis 140T5 site.
Just 2m south of town was a large Indian village, 26 or more lodges.
Our museum has a lot of very nice artifacts.
Pipe Creek is another area, 8m ne of town with lots of archealogical sites.
Just a couple of yrs ago... a flood washed out an area leaving exposed footprints from long ago.
The old farming ways.. with a plow used to really bring up the artifacts.. with no till farming.. its much more difficult.
One field i used to walk is now alfalfa.. so its pointless.
The fabled Etzanoa was identified a few yrs ago.

That makes sense. All are authentic for sure. I thought you was saying ccx they came from texas.

Another one my buddy found a few days ago.

Big items looks like just a big flake with an incidental spur .

Tge other is some eccentric birdie. Very cool.

Found a drill!

Yeah thas dang nice. One side sure looks like a Scott's bluff drill. The other side... not so much. Killer at any rate

Cool drill, amazing stone age tool.

I found another camp with some different points. Let me know what you think they are. The big one is 3 1/2 inches long. Thanks

Maybe a bell but probably castroville. It's a dang killer.

This weekends finds!
