Title: Found a Point?
Post by: burchett.donald on June 08, 2015, 12:54:51 pm

  Guy's would any of you be kind enough to ID this point for me? It was found in Sumter County, S.Carolina. Doesn't look like anything I have seen around here before...

  Steve,
            Thanks for the help and the link...That's a Guilford for sure and would explain why it was found in  S.Carolina...First one I ever seen like this around these parts... A very old point for sure...
                                                                                                   Thanks again, Don
