Kinda looks salvaged, Chief. Cannot see detail well, is it reworked at the tip??

Aww man! That one makes a person want to cry and cuss. Was that one of your creek finds?

[JoshinMO]

Yep

[Tam]

Still wonderful

[SurfaceHunter]

A lot of my finds have inclusions so that means lots of broken killers. I still enjoy finding them gives me hopes of finding a whole one like it.

One of my favorite finds. Found it on an old pond bank that I had walked over hundreds of times. Killed me when I saw the tip was partially missing!

[Broken Arrow]

Sweet find! Man that thing is thin!

[Sandy3]

One of the thinnest I’ve seen!

[redrocks]

One of my early finds 18 yrs ago. Jasper is soooo rare here in Connecticut

[SurfaceHunter]

Did they make it a scraper or is the tip completely gone Red? Looks like it could of been a good one

[redrocks]

Tip is gone Glenn ....look at the base it's pristine and really crisp.....I don't have too many corner notched points... this is a classic Jack's Reef corner notch point and Jasper to boot?... thanks....it's woodland

[SurfaceHunter]

I found a killer my last hunt that’s broken I didn’t show maybe I will share it to n a couple of days

I found one like that last year but mine was a Pickwick base.

[O.C. Hermit]

Yeah that thing is rediciulous . I keep thinking what the heck a giant sloth ? What was the animal . It’s not fine tuned enough to be cerimonial but what do I know . Back in Georgia along a man made lake they empty and open the flood gates . I figured it wiggled it’s way to the bank . No fine detail just this giant spear .

[KrisRock]

They were used to clean bison. Sometime halved and attached to a antler or branch.

[SurfaceHunter]

Found this one today walked up on a huge gravel bar and said man there has to be something on this one. Water flow was all over it on the last flood. I walked it for about 30 mins got all the way to the end and saw the tip sticking straight up. Got so excited I forgot to take the insitu. Reaching down I had a big smile as I pulled it out I gasped and said OMG!! 😩

Just found this thread! I've got plenty of heartbreakers for sure......unfortunately... Took a picture of a few of them that I really wish were complete. Would be some types that I don't have in a frame yet. A couple of Clays, a boggy branch, maybe a pine tree. And a really colorful kirk and savannah river.

[Broken Arrow]

Nice pieces. This has been a fun thread for sure.

[redrocks]

Nice!

[Mainejman]

Any of these ground slate pieces ..The two outside pieces are hexagonal ground slate bayonets that have been found 16" long.The middle one looks like what I've seen to be classified a phallic plummet..hmm..I have so many broken hard stone tools that I couldn't decide on one..mjm

[south fork]

I showed the Obsidian Blade already but here's the rest broken artifact day .

[Tam]

Oh man that hurts but you have the tip
