Couple points today. Hillsborough and Osceola
« on: November 16, 2012, 07:53:44 pm »
broke a few out today between spalling raw rock.   I got a Hillsborough out of  Hernando County, FL  chert. and an extra long Osceola out of keokuk. Neither are as perfect as I would like them, but each have a nice "show" side.  All abo as usually.  and for what it is worth...I hate knapping FL chert!!!  It always breaks..lol

Heck I have a problem with Texas chert breaking also.  Both are fine looking points.  Tower

Fine looking points. I wish I had some of that high quality looking Fl chert. That stuff is candy when heat treated.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

thanks.  Yeah Eddie. I am dying for more of this particular piece. It was laying on top of the ground all by itself in the middle of no where... just one egg shaped nodule bout the size of a football.

I'm assuming it was brought in by a Native and left since it was out of place... I just want to know where he got it. I am going to do some snooping around after deer season. could have been from a sinkhole long since filled in. :-\

Got lucky on another one this morning. The stone isn't quite a pretty but overall the point is better

Another nice one. It's a Marion with the rounded base. That's about the only way to tell the three styles apart. Marions are round, Newnans flat, and Hillsboroughs are short triangles.
