Some of you may have seen these photos, but thought I'd post last weeks stuff on here, too.

I like that point second from the left, the "ghost point" that is Georgetown.  The picture with the dogs is Alafia River Coral. Not the prettiest coral as it's kind of a flat grey and a little grainy but it looks great in the setting sun with the dogs.

Good points brother.  I see a flaker behind the points.  If that is yours then here is some advice, if not ignore. I would round those edges so that you can put maximum pressure on it without it hurting your hand.  Then I would sharpen that copper tip.   It looks like your tip is bending.  If so then take that copper and twist it in a drill.  This will harden the copper.

Nice set of points! Some good looking rock too.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Nice chipping.

Now if you do not feel like twisting your copper to work harden it. Try some brass that is what I use. It is a little harder than copper but not much. It works well on the hard rock I beat on.
