    Hey Dennis, Many thanks for all the help. Sure looks like you nailed it On all A,B, and C.
    That last one had me guessing Harpoon, Drill, and Gunther Triangle but Columbia Mule Ear
    worked down to a drill sure seems to fit. Thanks Again.

    Must be nice to look forward to finding such beautiful material on a hunt. Great photos, Ron. Crescent Drills look like your 4th point. But, way out of my region. That's eye candy there :cheer:

    This material is interesting: I just had to go outside to catch some rays.
    Most of the pieces have dark streaks in the obsidian. The fourth point which
    I have labeled D is of special interest to me. I am wondering what it's
    possible use would have been. I'm wondering if perhaps it was used to harvest fish.
    Whatever it's use; I am always attracted to the odd points which I don't see often.

    Sure can't help Ron but that is some fine material. Maybe Arrow or Dalred will see this and help you out.

    I would like to know if this material has some local name. The four points are from Oregon’s Goose Lake Valley. Also would like to know the point types. Very interested to know type for D. Your help is always appreciated.
