Couple of birdies

[paohrocks]

My neighbor plowed up a small ridge in one of his pastures with the moldboards! 1st one is made from Flint Ridge, 2nd one is made from a glacial chert.

Couple of nice points

Nice finds congrats !!

Nice saves .

[SurfaceHunter]

Nice ones are they Jack Reefs?

[paohrocks]

Thanks SH, they are true/classic bird points dating back to 1,900 BC. All the pentagonal Jack's Reef (Intrusive Mound) points in this area are corner notched while the side notched variety has a distinct "U" shape to it. They are also extremely thin and the blade is tabular (flattened). The points above have a lenticular blade.

I wish they plowed all the fields that way! Nice saves.

[paohrocks]

Thanks Tidioute, not many fields see the moldboards anymore...it's a lost art form...

[Flint Eastwood]

Excellent finds paohrocks!

Those are really nice. I'd like to see the first one cleaned up. Looks very pretty,

It's super nice though.

I know you checked that piece of flint by the second point? Sweet saves!!.. they starting to finally get in the fields up this way, need some good washing now.

[paohrocks]

Absolutely, just a chip. About half the fields around here have been worked, even a few are planted now. Looks like we are gonna get some rain over the next 48 hours. I know what I'm doing this Saturday!
