Jamie, that quartz one looks like the LeCroy points we find down here. And I'm a Cro-Magnon, thank you. ;D

That's a good job Jamie! I used to use hammer stones a lot and carry one with me when I am collecting rock. Nice work.

You talk like we were insulting you. We were paying you a compliment.  ;)

     Actually Jamie, those points would make you at least a Cro Magnon like Hillbilly.  The Neandertals didn't have quite that much sophistication. ;)  Nice points. 8)  Especially with hammerstones! :o

Nice work Jamie.  I like that quartz piece.  What kind of stone are you using for a hammerstone?  As far as the neanderthal thing......You're closer than you think. ;D
