  • Beginner hunter needs help identifying possible point

    Hello,

    I'm a beginner hunting arrowheads near a large creek in north Georgia (30 miles northwest of Atlanta) where I know arrowheads have been found before.

    While it's easy to see knapping marks on some materials, I'm having a hard time with quartz.

    I found this the other day and its form makes me think it might be some kind of broken point with the tip part missing, but the base intact. I can't identify knapping marks on quartz very well so I figured I'd reach out to more experienced folks for opinions since I'm a beginner. Here's some photos. Thoughts??

    Thanks much!

    Looks like the stem portion of a broken point made of Quartzite. Welcome to arrowheads.com

          Thanks all for the help. I'm pretty excited to find something, even if it's just the base, good enough for me. Can't wait to keep on hunting during my mountain biking rest breaks.

            Nice it's quartz even broken. Quartz here in IA is about as common as a armadillo. Nice find, keep lookin.

              Soon enough you will only use the mountain bike to get you to your hunting sites... It only takes 1 killer and your hooked...sometimes even a broken archaic point is enough to get you hooked!
