All of the above...I'll text you some pics later...maybe even video

ask for Bad Belinda. it will be epic.....

Nice pieces Don... I have a few pics I need to get posted up myself

Here's a few that I have picked up over the years. I think the thrill of finding these might be matched only by the thrill of finally getting a pic to post on 'the fire

A nice axe is definitely on my list of things I want to find. Found a few celts, but no axe yet...

One in the middle is probably the crown jewel in my collection. Found near my dad's place (along with most of my stuff). Sure was exciting seeing first just the jagged tip and pulling it bit-by-bit from the earth. I was ready for heartbreak at any second, and elated to hold the entire, intact, point having survived hundreds of thaws and scores of plow blades!

Any experts on here know what it is or what time period (obviously not an 'arrowhead'). Found in South central Wisconsin near shores of L. Koshkonong.

2 itty-bitty's, an awl, and a handful of chips....

These were all found in the Sierra national Forest.

As an ex-archeologist your finds make me drool, you must have quite a collection. Some of these glass cases remind me of amateur collectors in southern NM. It was the favorite pass time of many of the people living there. Some had literally cases covering every wall. I was told that the best times to go "arrowhead" hunting was during a "good" sand storm (winds there could get in the 60 70 mph range commonly) and put on an old gas mask and walk backwards into the wind. Their collections held some amazing artifacts.

Fixed it for you.



Careful a NF is federal land and subject to Antiquities Act regs.

These were in a store in the national forest. I didn't collect them.

Good to know. I don't object to the collecting just don't want someone to run a foul of the law.

Here are a few blades I found in a piece of obsidian I had in my garage. I don't have a place to find the real thing anymore so I make them myself.

I've been doing this off and on for about 4 years and while I'm not good yet, I think I'm getting better. Anyway it is fun to do, people seem to like them and it hasn't made anybody mad yet. All good things...

Good job! Good knapping.

If you figure out how to knap a Clovis with the center flute, and transverse oblique you'll have it mastered!

Makes one wonder how those old ones figured all that out...
