Mr. Newbern, I am less than 1/2 hour from Georgia so that puts me out of Hillsborough (batwing) range. Nothing made from baybottom chert in my collection. I only know one man this far north and in your area (Donalsonville) that has a decent collection of points made from baybottom chert. I have a few coral points but there are only two coral in those pictures. In the picture with the serrated kirks there is one (at top left) made from tallahatta quartzite. On the top row of the bolen picture, second from the right is also a point made from tallahatta. You might be a couple of counties too far east for it but I find a little at the farm over by Dothan. Most of my points from this area are made from good old coastal plains chert from quarries along the north Florida rivers as well as the Flint. I don't know how far you are from Kinchafoonee creek but one point I have uploaded is from there. I also have an expanded center gorget that was recovered from there in two pieces. Probably the two best or most unique things I have uploaded are both drills. If you go to the last page there is a picture with tools including a full groove ax, gorget, and atlatl weight. The long drill left of the ax was found on an early archaic site on Hwy 319 south of Thomasville. It is a once in a lifetime find and better than 4 1/2" long. It is pictured in the book Best of the Best, Vol. 2. On the right side of the ax is a Boggy Branch drill. Boggy Branch points are rare as hen's teeth but that is the only drill form I have seen and I don't know anyone that has seen another one either. Most of the items I have are somewhat common but those are two that I feel most fortunate to be the custodian of.
I have a chungke stone that also has indentations like you see in what people commonly refer to as nutting stones. On one side it looks like a run of the mill convex-sided discoidal but on the other there is a deep impression in the center and five shallower depressions around the perimeter.
