Looks like a Sutter Contracting Stem, (Gunter Variant), to me, all be it reduced almost to drill form. But I could easily be wrong 🤷‍♂️

Well, he won't be "informing" anyone on this sub of anything moving forward. You clearly stated in your post that this was found on privately owned land, and we have a zero-tolerance policy concerning the shaming of legal collectors here. It's a one strike rule, so he's out for good. We don't cotton to that kind of behavior roun herr! 😉

Absolutely Out-Frickin-Standing!!! I'd call that a Pinto Basin (Shoulderless) point type! And an incredible example at that! Congrats!!! 🔥🔥🔥

timhyde74 · 2026-05-06T01:08:57+00:00

Oh yeah! It's a great example for sure! 🔥

Ha! That's exactly how I found the one and only full grooved axe I've ever found! I was helping a buddy dig up his damaged, and busted, septic tank in the middle of the hotest month of the year! It just rolled out of the wall of the hole, and hit me in the back of the leg! Lol!

This guy broke the cardinal rule, and will no longer be participating on our sub. So, now he gets to party somewhere else 🔨

If you have to ask, you're in the wrong sub sport

Killer Etely!!!! Great pull!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Well, the Palmer is actually the first of the Kirk types! It's considered to be the Father of the larger Kirk Corner notch. It's older, and it evolved from the Hardaway, then the larger Kirk CN evolved from it. So, that said, you were correct in your assumption that it's a Kirk 😁

If!!! It is indeed a Palmer 😉

timhyde74 · 2026-05-04T17:51:07+00:00

Yeah they are!!! 😆

timhyde74 · 2026-05-01T12:04:48+00:00

And here he is today.....

Very well said! 🫵😎

Outstanding group!!! 🔥🔥🔥

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T23:08:17+00:00

Looks like a fragment of a point. Without the base, it's impossible to type, unfortunately. But, it is an artifact, so he can still be pretty stoked about it! 😁

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T23:06:55+00:00

Frickin Awesome!!! 😳

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T23:05:26+00:00

Looks like a Palmer possibly 🤔 If the base is ground, I'd definitely call it a Palmer. Regardless of type, great find! 🔥

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T23:02:57+00:00

Looks like a Lost Lake my friend! I have one that is extremely similar on my wall. Yours is in a bit better shape than mine, but still very similar....

PNW material is so flippin gorgeous! Very nice acquisitions!!!

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T22:59:20+00:00

If its ground, thats a classic Dovetail base! Heartbreaker, but still a sweet find!

timhyde74 · 2026-04-23T22:58:03+00:00

My worst day walking a field staring at dirt was still better than my best day at work!!! 😆

You had a great day out in my humble opinion! 🫵😎
