    It's just a broken tip so why cry about it? Because it's some of the best flaking i have ever seen.

      Is this another Ron G10+? ;-) Where did you find it? Even with a broken tip, that is still an awesome point!

    Quarts points are common here in NC but nicely knapped and serrated ones are not. Click image for larger version

        I would have been spewing out obscenity's to the world in general. That is a true heart breaker.

          Hey look! Old people candy!

          Those are beautiful lithics! They would have been stunning if whole.

        There are artifacts of chert that make a sound of quality (hard to explain) But this one makes that sound.

          Andy - I know exactly what ya mean. My breaks far outnumber the whole finds. But it's all part of the hunt.

                Here is a frame of broken artifacts. As a kid I saw a glued down version of flakes of an Indian on horseback I thought how neat, so this is my version.

                  That is a frame full of tears😥. I love how the base is made of bases.

                  Pointless, yet beautiful at the same time...

                  Great job on that!
