Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Finally was able to do some dirt moving, the scallorn was found about 6in. deep and the other point was about 4ft. deep.

this one sure has a older look to it. It is about 1 1/2 in. long and the base has been lightly ground.

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

No guesses on the big one but it sure is an interesting report to hear that there was 4 feet of sediment between them AND the backround of the one pic showing the lay of the land...confirmation of the name Sandman

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

I was drifting through the Ovsts looking up that dove tail and went after your point....
Sure looks like the "Coldwater" with that slight concave base...Almost Paleo.
The Firstview also looks close and the same age, funny thing is that they look so similar yet donot refer to each other in the cross references.

The Coldwater is a pretty high dollar type, might be worth a COA. Now you know you have to go 2 inches deeper for some true Paleo

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

You maybe right Hal, it fits that type better than any I have come up with. Thanks, I agree on coa, it will help on how much time to spend on the very bottom!

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Here is a point that I posted a couple months back, have a better pic of it now. Any ideas?

All four sides are beveled from tip to base.

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

I like Hellgap. A great point for sure. I just love anything Paleo. Like Hal !

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Idahoe, Paleo really gets me going as well, but a little leary not getting my hopes up! The last point I am thinking a Merserve type? The beveling on all sides and base is odd?

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

I donno bout that last one, heavy resharpening practices muddle the ID viability. ( I dont care for Meserve )

Just put it in the "very nice frame "

There's going to be some busy ID dealers at the upcoming Flint show...I just found a LuLu out at Starr that I need a professional confirmation on before posting..( the LuLu point is very rare in these parts )

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Hey Charlie, take a look at the last point and let me know your thoughts on it. Thanks

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

i would call both of the older pints angasturas

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

could sand be a lange?

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

I guess this one will have to be sent off, my first thought was angostura, but did not get any support on that id, not sure about lange. thanks

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

The point found well below your scallorn looks very similar to a point I dug years ago in McLennan county. I never was certain of the type, but knew it was old because it came from a separate campsite layer lying about 12 inches below where I had knocked out Wells and Hoxies. I always wondered about it being a Hell Gap, but I wondered if it was too far east.

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

dalton, would be my guess on that last beveled point. nice finds.

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Matt, hey if you get a chance post a pic.


Pat, thanks for your input, I am not much on id-ing, Dalton sounds good.

Re: Little scallorn and a ??? not real sure!

Sandman, I'll give it a try. The point is in an old frame and neither it or the glass can be removed. Worried there may be too much glare.
