I have seen 1000`s and 1000`s of points my good friend Mr Cater has found in Colquitt. All his were surface finds. You have some real good areas around there to find those

glad yall like these ive been picking them up for years every time it rains. very interesting to see the small serrations and some of the notches done without horseshoe nail punches like we use. of all the points found here i think the clovis point was the by far the most unusual.

one of the ones i found early on that is gone now was an adze ,that one was in excellent shape and a great find.
