Paul, that one is perfect! Don't do anything to that one, looks like it just came out of a field here. Steve is right, you got the base just perfect on that, couldn't be any better.

You guys are good! :)
Perfect looking material for the type, cowboy. Good choice. And I gotta agree with Alan, it's done!

Good job, Alan, and that ancient pink quartzite one is a real beauty! Nice Find!

Thanks Joe, my brother actually found that one and we both almost passed out and fell face first in the dirt when he pulled that out of the ground.

Paul, I'll take some of that river junk.  :) The way you have the base different on each side is very common on the originals I find. Here are two originals that have bases very similar to yours.

Nice onebone pile.
Alan are the bases square or are they dovetailed a little on the SR?

Good one Roger! That is some good looking material, and point as always :).

Alan: Thanks for posting these base examples. I notice the crude nature of the type in the pic of that collection. So I went to town on it with the boppers ;D. That's acutally the only piece of that stuff that I picked up that day, the rest of my bucket was perd. Next time I'm in San Antonio i'm gonna grab some more.

Steve,

I hunted all day Saturday, no shooter bucks of the 5 I saw and none close enough for my muzzleloader anyway. Does are off limits at the lease until the end of next week. I also had an inspection postponed today and got to hunt 6 hours this morning.  No bucks, 5 antlerless deer & 14 turkeys (including one longbeard that better be careful come Spring).  Somebody shot about 50 yards from our property boundary...likely one of the smaller bucks I saw Saturday.

Some genuine examples from Rockbridge County, VA-incurvate bases are common

Nice looking points & axes, Pete. I find more of the Guilford-type axeheads around here & only have one grooved axehead.

Those are some realistic looking points Eddie.  I'd believe it if you told me they were ancient.
