Title: 5 GA Points
Post by: RickB on December 29, 2011, 03:30:27 pm

Been having trouble posting photos so these are the first - figured these might be of interest. These are photos of five points my brother in law dug up in his yard while doing some gardening. He lives several miles from the GA coast near the small town of Midway. The two points on the left are made of quartz and the two on the right are made of chert. Thought I'd post this as the point in the middle is one you don't see very often.

Those are some cool finds! I was just out there a few weeks ago and worked some of that quartz - i don't have the patience i used to have ::).
