Default Finally went hunting

The rains finally came, and today I was able to get some field walking in. For the first time in a long time. Spent 2 hours in the field and only got half done. I will be going back sometime later.
Found 5 total...pictures will be coming tomorrow...
1 discordial(I think thats what its called)
2 whole points
1 large one with a broken tip, broken ears, and a broken base
1 tip of what looks to me like it came off a fat wide point.

Default Good Job

Hey chicken_little,
Sounds like you had a great day! If it was muddy, I'm sure the legs are tired from carrying the extra weight on the boots . I intend on going again someday! Most farmers have gone to the no-till method or usually do not plow until late spring. Most of my old Indian sites have been lay aside (no planting at all). Sorry for the blabbin'!
Can't wait to see your finds!
Hoping You Find More, HH, Roger

Here's the pictures, they aren't very good.
Raw-war-digger, thankfully the mud didn't stick very much. It was about half dry. Most of the farmers around here have gone to the no-plow method too, but sometimes they plow them like this field was.

The dark gray one is the one with the broken tip,base, and ears. As you can see theres not much left of it. It would have been probly 4 or 5 inches long if it was whole.
Then the small whitish tip of a wide fat point.
Then the small brown point. Its whole. I don't know what you call it.
Then there's my favorite find. I'd call it a knife. It is whole, but you can see how one of the "notches" is shorter than the other. It looks like it got brushed against the plow and got a couple small chips taken off. The last picture is me holding it with the tip pointing at the camera. You can see how the edge comes in from the left and as it gets to the point, it takes almost a 45 degree dip down and the edge goes to the right on the other "face". Is there anything special about that?
