  • Pretty little veined quartz point

    Found this weekend. Just me--left the boys at home, but then again, 7 am is just too early for some teens. Nice veined quartz Piscataway?? or Morrow Mtn?? I was real excited until I saw the Yadkin 30 minutes later. Heartbreaker!!!! But cool rhyolite. Click image for larger version

    Nice finds, I see a lot of Carolina Yadkins with rounded ears, that one has pointed ears like we find in Georgia.

      Nice finds Carolina Hunter it's awesome having new NC members here! The Quartz point sure is beautiful. If I found it in my area I would think Morrow but I don't know much about Piscataway points I believe they are out of my range. So maybe someone else will have some more thoughts. To bad the tip is broken on the Yadkin still a great find. I also can't wait to see more of those shark teeth I only hunt the beach Wrightsville but I sure enjoy it! If small enough I would put Randolph into consideration.

          Love the veined quartz piece. Aren't Piscataway and Yadkin from the same period? I have a lot of Morrow Mountains but the shoulders are a little more defined on most of mine. But I do have a couple that look like yours. I'm absolutely not the person to identify anything, but I like your finds!

            The attractive veined piece looks like Morrow Mt.

              Nice pulls CH...not trying to blow your mind or anything...but see how the base has serrations... It may have been hafted on the long end and used as a knife. Archaeologist Jack Hraniky wrote a paper about how some points were actually hafted backwards from how we think they were!

                I’ve always thought they were hafted upside down with only one side being used to cut that’s why one side shows perfect and the other side shows resharpening

              I initially thought Morrow Mtn since I have found a few of those in the area. I have the mindset that Piscataways are a term for mm found up north. Either way, it's cool in the light. I usually do not clean my points thoroughly--just my way. Thanks for all your input.

                  So I got to handle this point yesterday. A pic is worth a thousand words, and after holding it I only have three. I was wrong! It is super thin and not as lensatic as it looks. The tip was at one time sharpened to a point. It was a projectile, and now I owe CH a days worth of work out on his property!
