These are from the family collection that I rediscovered recently. I remember finding 2 of them personally but couldn't tell ya much more than that.
The big white one seems pretty neat.

I've been trying to figure out a nice way to say it with no disrespect. The five points on the right side of the photo are not legit. They are gift shop points from India. Others look good. Bottom left material is suspect for Texas.

Thank you for your honesty, bigF. I'm just trying to learn more. There's no crime in asking is there?

So, you're confirming they were made by Indians! Great. Dot, not feather......

---

Absolutely.......100% still made by Indians......always a silver lining!

I still can't believe you have that camp in your backyard! Not at all the place I would have thought. So we some though!

Sure is! Nice

Also found these in the backyard "camp." No idea how to date but they're old.

Would be really cool if those could be cleaned up!

Worked at Aquarena Springs back in the day. They had the archeology site underwater. I found some cool handtools, the best was a scrape. When you put it in your hand you could feel the slight indentations for fingers. Someone went and told that I found it and it went up front to the display case. My best find ever.

Which one?

Giving this thread a bump in hopes some of you had some killer finds after all this Texas rain.

Does petrified wood count if so this is my third bowl in 12 years
Every time I till the garden they come to the top somehow

Petrified wood counts with me. i just started looking for pet wood a couple of years ago and have found some in the Crocket area. If you know someone with a polisher, it turns out really nice with color and depth that is frankly astounding sometimes. I have heard that there is a good amount in the Bryan/College Station area of Texas. Is that the general area you are finding it?

Also, I must say that I am envious of all of the arrow heads. I have tried looking for them for over 50 years in different parts of Texas but have never found any in the places I have tried.

Anyway, thanks to all that contributed. I have really enjoyed this thread.

South college station. 100x100 area

Here's one I found recently

That's a maroon arrow head… those Indians were Aggies

Anyone hunt for or ever find a bediasite? I'm intrigued by these - have access to some land outside of Bedias and plan to go hunting for some.

Found these in Webb County yesterday.

A friend found these on his hunting lease outside Zapata while dove hunting. I've never seen one with color like this and neither had the rancher. They find lots of points on top of the ground and some stone balls.
ETA curious about what type of rock was used to make the striped one.

Looks like it is just some sort of banded Edwards chert. Basically no different structurally than any other Edwards chert, which is the most commonly utilized toolstone in Texas by far, just happened to develop that banded look due to sediment layers, weathering, etc.
Banded chert/flint is typically highly prized by both arrowhead collectors and knappers and often brings a premium compared to its non-banded counterparts, and the maker of this one likely put much more effort into ensuring it became a finished, high quality point. The song "Banded Clovis" by Tyler Childers is a good example of the premium that is placed on banded cherts/flints.
