[PointSeeker]

That is some awesome material, nice find

[Benji]

Thanks pointseeker....new find, material of the type for me....i dont have any other points made outta this

[fldwlkr]

I'd be leaning toward something in the Table Rock Cluster if I picked it up here in Ohio. Amazing material whatever point type it is !!! "Oolitic", one of those words I love to use just to see the confused look on people's faces.
Thanks for sharing, fldwlkr

[Benji]

Haha.....thank you fldwalkr

[oldrocks2]

Nice point and lithics. Don't think bottleneck.

[Benji]

Thank you old rocks

[Josie]

[Benji]

Yes its different for sure....thanks josie

[SurfaceHunter]

I went out today just to find one broken knife. Its quartz but sure was nice outside today.

[SurfaceHunter]

Not sure on the type maybe Hoss will know. Good eyes to see it looks like it would blend right in by the color.

[Benji]

Yeah i got real lucky to spot it

[Hal Gorges]

Sorry ,Beni.I meant the inscription on the coin ,I thought it said FLOCK island cuzz of the bird .Lol. Just wondered what and where it is , These eyes ain’t fit for seeing up close no more..

[Benji]

Gotcha....looks like rhode island

[clovisoid]

That is some wild material.

The coin also caught my eye, I hadn't seen that state quarter before.

[Benji]

Rhode island quarter i believe

[KyChipStone]

Done some more digging on this one Benji....This appears to be a Bakers creek point in the Steuben cluster....Will see what others say...Congrats!

[Benji]

Thanks kt

Nice point! I was surprised to see the Block Island coin, which folks have been wondering about. With an image of North Light, at the north tip of the island. I had never seen this coin before. I forget what the Rhode Island coin in the quarter series looked like, this one must be a different one in the series. Block Island, RI is about 12 miles south of the mainland.
