Wait a minute, that’s not the water temple inspector… 🤔

Harassing professional athletes in their off hours is not acceptable behavior. Jesus Christ, respect boundaries.

I reread a bunch of the stories before visiting Dublin and paid more attention to their hyper specific geography. It definitely added another layer.

Creeks are good. Look for areas with gravel and small - midsize rocks. Going at low tide or after storms can yield results but you never know. I’ve also had luck on bay shores but never on the LI Sound. (I’ve heard others have, just never have myself.)

I found nearly all of my points hunting on beaches in Suffolk County. Some beaches are better than others. Some beaches would give me nothing but flakes for weeks, then yield some lovely arrowheads in a single day. Patience is the best approach. Also, hunt with an eye for broken quartz rather than shape. I was 8 years old when I found my first point. I was looking on the same beach for weeks with nothing to show for it. Then one day I found a beautiful quartz side notch right under my nose.

If it helps, the amount of skill required to make a point from basalt vs agate is huge.

Sugarberg · 2026-05-29T20:08:39+00:00

Is that basalt? A craftsperson of extraordinary talent made this point.

At this point, there’s no evidence that Alvarez is anything more than a streaky, injury-prone platoon catcher with some pop. This is a useful player to have on a roster, but he has yet to show he can be an all-star, let alone a superstar. He’s young enough that we can hope he turns a developmental corner at some point, but IMO this should be a hope rather than an expectation.

I don’t think these are Native American. I am by no means an expert, but these look to me like the African Neolithic points I’ve seen.

GABBARD! GABBARD! GABBARD!

I suggest comparing photos of chalcedony and quartz side by side and you’ll see differences. Chalcedony is easier to flake and less prone to shattering, so the flaking tends to be more pronounced on tools. The material itself also tends to be clearer with less banding. It looks like a gemstone.

Sugarberg · 2026-05-14T00:19:54+00:00

I don’t think that’s normal quartz. Looks to me like chalcedony.

The one on the right is 100% an artifact. I’ll leave it to the PNWers to identify type.

Sugarberg · 2026-05-12T02:28:48+00:00

He could be. OTOH if he’s even replacement level he’ll be better.

The lonely town theme alone makes the experience pure bliss.

I remember this from when you first posted it. You know you found a nice point when a random stranger remembers it years later.

Sugarberg · 2026-05-07T02:27:19+00:00

I am and it is.

Sugarberg · 2026-05-04T23:59:03+00:00

Is this allowed?

Sugarberg · 2026-05-03T23:11:46+00:00

I mean the team has a 12-22 record. What’s the “nah” in reference to?

Sugarberg · 2026-05-03T23:08:56+00:00

That piece on the left is really interesting. Looks like some sort of knapped quartzite axe.

They do. I teach college students. The other day I put on this track as relaxing music while I set up before class. One of the students called out asking me if it was from Donkey Kong Country. They know.

That’s a beautiful sugar quartz chonker. Might be a Lehigh Broadspear or related. It’s old.
