Funny how this stuff works. I found these two Hernando points in the spring of 1987 while turkey hunting in Webster County. This is at the northern extreme of their territory. Both were made from high grade Coastal Plains chert, When I leaned down to pick up the point with the heavy patina, I also saw the point with no patina about 3 steps ahead. Two Hernados, layed in that field 5 feet apart for several thousand years, same stone, same soil makeup, but completely different patina. Somebody care to explain that?
