Fayette Co. private screen dig for the inquiring minds. I know the Darl Stemmed and unstemmed. I don't know what the skinny based one is. Any guesses?

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Unfluted Cumberland?

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

So anyone ever found a Cumberland in Texas? Has anyone found a similar point?

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Here's me trying to get out of the ID business and I may actually ( possibly ) have ID'd a very elusive
creature.

See brought up posting " POINT IDENTIFICATION ASSISTANCE " BY DIGBROS... Read SILVER'S input.

Another Brazos "fishtail " ?? Hope so, thats a rarebe

All very impressive finds.

Just noticed...that one point has almost the EXACT base as Idahoe keeps posting every 3 months as a Mystery point. ( to see, type in " MYSTERY POINT " in Search block above )

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

nice flint,congrats

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

very nice!!! your handle is very appropriate.that big blade is awsome.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Thanks, the big Darl unstemmed blade made my day. It's too bad I nicked the little Bazos Fish Tale or whatever it is. Very weird looking point.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

that stange looking point looks very close to the victoria point in my 8th edition,one of which is a dead ringer.early archaic, what do you think?

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

8th edition? You have a pic to display? Thanks.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

I moved my pic and now there gone AUGHHHH!

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Now that's a toss-up. The Uvalde's that I've seen have more of a shoulder then the Victoria. Basal grinding probably would be the clue.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Mine had no basal grounding. I'll try and repost a pic.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

This looks like it should be a Paleo type point.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

Kind of a dumb question but what's it made of. I see the inclusions and it almost looks like petrified wood. Mabbe my eyesight is getting back in my old age. If a Victoria, then it'd put it in the early Archaic time frame.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

That's one cool point, never seen one of those before.

looks like petrified palmwood Te. I have a couple of pieces that look like it(material not point)
Very nice point

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

I don't think's it's Palmwood. Just specks in the flint. Found near LaGrange Texas. If it was from East Texas I might think it was Palmwood. I haven't found any petrified wood points in this area. Of course I haven't hound any points like this at all. First one I've seen like this..

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

I posted my palm wood point here about a week ago. There's some palm down here in my area. The better of the petrified palm flakes that I've found look just like flint. Still, that's a neat point whatever category if falls into.

Re: Sunday's finds. ID help?

It may be Palm. I'm no expert about anything. It was found below a Darl layer. Not finding much. Just a pocket of points here and there. Gets boring then you find some then it goes dry again. Not much in the way of flakes. I hope to find some more like this and it's not just a 1-off. Going again in the morning. We'll see what happens.
