Where in SC were they found? Most of my artifact collection cane fro coastal SC near Hilton Head. There is no natural stone in that part of SC so every rock we found was an artifact of some sort.

Pat, I live in Columbia. We have the Saluda River and Broad River come together here and form the Congaree River - plenty of native american activity around the 3 rivers. Lots of quartz here and that's what most of our points are made of. Looking through many points that I personally found during the 60's and 70's and even now, around 80% are made from quartz and the other 20% is divided between chert from the Savannah River area and rhyolite from SC but mostly from North Carolina.
