    My family has a farm and property in Reems Creek in WNC and we’ve got a massive family collection they acquired over the last 150 yrs. I love hunting arrowheads!

    Jeff. Man! You keep on finding great artifacts! My immediate thought was Cobbs (triangular) for that big blade. You live far enough west in NC that you have finds (and lithics) that are normally found in TN and KY. Best of both worlds (Rhyolite from NC, Quartz(ite) and maybe limestone from your area, cherts from TN/KY)! And you keep finding great Guilfords (I remember that Guilford from a couple of years ago). And those points do look like paleo bases/Daltonish/Hardawayish. Happy for ya!

    I believe your "Cobbs" is made of a decent quality green metasiltstone. I found a large knife made of it about a year and a half ago and it remains my favorite material ever. Its pretty rare if that's what it's made of.That is crazy finding 2 possible paleo in such a short amount of time. Im gonna say almost definite on that second one. look up "haw river projectile point" I believe that's what that is (late paleo). Nice finds sir! Ill be in NC early June hopefully pulling some smokers.

      Thank you…I believe you are correct on that blade material I haven’t quite seen it here before…. Depending on the plow line in that field may be why I’m seeing some older pieces this year… can’t be certain on either of those being Paleo or not but I do have my thoughts I feel I’m right on the verge of finding something with a definite flute. My first indication came last year when I found the hardaway… the spring should be interesting this spring… Thanks for the comment.

    I love that green ryolite blade. That looks like a Cobbs blade in my opinion. That thing is cool.

      Not many cobbs in this area… however I have seen it before, but not very often… that was the first thought I had when I picked it up…so still not certain on it… are Cobbs blades beveled?
