Title: Couple Tallahatta Quartzite points
Post by: Hillbilly on August 24, 2009, 09:21:18 pm

Here are a couple of Tallahatta points I knocked out a while back-a small Newnan-ish point and a Pinellas (or however you spell it.) Wood and antler percussion, antler and copper pressure.

Man you do that quartzite justice Steve - them's some nice thin, symetrical points! I'll have to try some of that if the dust ever clears around here.

Curt, thanks. those are already headed to a guy in Georgia. I'd like to stick that Pinnellas on an arrow. :)

Thanks, Paul- This stuff ain't like our local quartzite. It chips good. Not like good flint, but a lot better than that super-hard metaquartzite we have around here. If you want to try some I'll try to dig you out a chunk or two if I've got any left.

Nice points.  Those are some really purdy points from some tough looking stone.

Somebody in Georgia should be happy.  Those are sweet.

 Very nice Steve, cool looking Newnan. Pinellas points aren't that big. They are the same size as "bird points"up your way. That is closer to a Tallahassee.

Thanks, guys. Wade, I think the smaller triangular one is maybe made out of one of those. You haven't been paying attention, I made this Newnan out of the bigger one and posted it a while back:
