Nice Sam very nice scrapers, That last pic looks yellow I wonder if its quartz or topaz?

Lots of nice points everyone has posted. Here's a few crystal quartz thumb scapers I picked up over the years.

Those are beautiful pieces! Thanks for sharing. Just had our first snow in Lafayette, Indiana. I managed to pick these guys up yesterday.

All I can say is WOW! You people have alot of points. Makes my collection look very small. I cant even think how they must of been just laying all around as you walked with a bucket and a scooper in your hands. Not like that here at all. I might find 1 point a month and it is usually a heart breaker or not good quality. But I still pick them up. Alot of crops here and tilling that kills them and then the red clay that hardens like stone in the sun. VERY NICE STUFF!

I like the quartz (white) but I dont find much here mostly chert all colors. I do find alot of quartzite points but they arent near as nice as yours. Kinda brownish in color. I do like the red chert when I find it but it seems to be rare mostly black and the banded chert is nice when I can find it. I have only found 2 red and gray chert pieces which are real pretty. Of course black is the most I find and there is little black leaves mixed in with them and its really hard to find.

Shartis,
That is an amazing collection of points!!! How much searching is represented in that massive amount of artifacts?? I'm blown away!!

[shartis]

Thanks Hoss. Done a lot of walking

Here it is.  Guilford straight base I believe.  At least, if you know you found them yourself, their authentic!  Most all of these pics posted by everyone look legit to me.  HH

lookn4pnts, take a close look at that base, you may have a Guilford Yuma !

  Thanks for pointing that out Butch.  You might be right.  Can't tell if the base was made like that or if it is chipped a little (broken)?  Is one type more rarer than the other?
