Some of you may have seen these photos, but thought I'd post last weeks stuff on here, too.
I like that point second from the left, the "ghost point" that is Georgetown. The picture with the dogs is Alafia River Coral. Not the prettiest coral as it's kind of a flat grey and a little grainy but it looks great in the setting sun with the dogs.

Good points brother. I see a flaker behind the points. If that is yours then here is some advice, if not ignore. I would round those edges so that you can put maximum pressure on it without it hurting your hand. Then I would sharpen that copper tip. It looks like your tip is bending. If so then take that copper and twist it in a drill. This will harden the copper.

Now if you do not feel like twisting your copper to work harden it. Try some brass that is what I use. It is a little harder than copper but not much. It works well on the hard rock I beat on.
