Newest points (only 2), nice Castroville!

Went digging for a couple hours last week at the old standby, and found these. Point 1 is a sweet needle tip castroville made of some neat flint, the bottom is pure white which fades into a pinkish brown semi-translucent color. It's either strange fllint, or a discarded castroville was picked up later and re-tipped. Either way the pictures don't, they never do, this point justice. The second is a bulverde, nothing really special.

I'll be heading down there again tomorrow, so if all goes well maybe some more pics in the a.m.
Ps found a couple brokes too ( not pictured)

What a beautiful Castro. Wonder if the knaper thought it was too pretty to haft and chance breaking.?
Unfortunatly not so the Bulverde owner, he was probably prying open a sardine can that broke the tip

Re: Newest points (only 2), nice Castroville!

Lol that's probably right, it's this hard local flint with these stone inclusions that never seem to flake off the point, so everything we've found made of it is THICK!
