Think the second point my friends find might be what they call around here a Hollenberg Stemmed? Found not far from city of Hollenberg KS. from where point was named. Was river find.

Would have been a nice find if intact. The scooper is a great invention to pick up arrowheads.

[ksrocks]

Thanks Trapper but can't take credit for the (scooper). We call them spoons -and- there not so much to pick up rocks as they are for just flipping rocks. The friend I hunt with started using the spoon attached to a broken golf club many years ago. I just use wooden dowel so I can make as long as I want. If I had to bend over to pick up ever flake I look at in a day it would be a short day, my back could not handle it.This friend I hunt with has been hunting for around 17 yaers. He got me started about a year -and- half ago, now im hooked.Good Hunting!

We usually use a stick with a knife attached to the end so you can cut through weeds on the way to the creek or river and flip flint.

[ksrocks]

Yes Aaron think it serves the same purpose, gives me a barrier for snakes to. Are you from east kansas? Love to hear from other poeple from kansas, post some of your finds.

[acenchief]

Yeah I live in N.E. Kansas, just north of Manhatten.  I don't have any pics in the forum yet but do have a few finds in my profile.

[ksrocks]

Hey Aaron my bad! Just looked at your profile (surface finds). Very nice finds and in-situ pics.

[ksrocks]

Aaron do you hunt the little or big blue rivers? I see you and spanky are friends the white tip point on this post was found on the little blue by him. Been to little blue couple times not much luck.

[acenchief]

I hunt on both of them.  Artifacts seem to be few and far between on them but they are there.

[wmwallace]

What kinda material is the bottom pick?? I enjoy the multi-color stuff the most. Here in Ohio Flintridge is the multi color gem to find an artifact out of. Bought a collection from Alabama a few months back and they have a Horse Creek Chert that is an awesome multi color. At least you folks can find something, ours are buried under half a foot of snow right at the moment. Nice finds broke or not guys.

[ksrocks]

Don't know rock type Bill. Looked like lower quality rock on tip, just chalky white color. I guess part of the rock formation point was made from. Spanky has point maybe he will post his opinion.

[acenchief]

I'm not an expert on material types but I'd say it is a florence variety.  The tip is probably limestone

[ksrocks]

Sounds good to me Aaron, Im not good with rock types. Any luck since we last talked?

[acenchief]

No my luck has seemed to disapear here lately.  I did find a crude knife, a nice broken knife, piece of pottery, and a scraper the other day.  Other than that been gettin skunked.  How bout you?  Been out?
