I lied!! Just ONE more picture!! This is not a personal find of mine . This was found by the farmer who owns one of the farms that I hunt on. This is a Double Crecent Banner preform. It is probably the largest known.I have never heard of one larger. Most likely a ceramonial piece.

All I can say is WOW!!! I've never found a point, but never really looked either. I would flip if I ever found one. I lived and grew up next to a Paiute Reservation where many of my lifelong friends have lived, but I never took advantage of my location and friendships and don't live there anymore. .Thanks for posting the pictures....Ron

Bravo guys! I've seen better displays of artifacts here than most other artifact forums!!! I love it all, but I'm really stoked about all the midwest stuff! Ya'll have some incredible finds! I have alot of respect for fellow surface hunters. It's one thing to have a frame full of G10's, it's another to actually FIND one!!! I love the hardstone and slate ya'll find up north of me in Ohio and Indiana! Wish we found more down this way!!! Keep em comming and show some other neat stuff you've found on your hunts!

Anyone ever been to the Indian Artifact Museum at Mystery Hill in Boone, NC? Stopped by there this past Oct. while on vacation. There is some pretty amazing stuff in there.

Are those game balls on picture 10?

Yes, they are. Up close and personal, you can see the pack marks. Found them in a field in New Jersey about 5 feet apart from each other. DiggerGeorge was with me that day and was a bit upset[].

I am humbled by these amazing collections but I just had to be a part of this great thread. Mine are few, but I treasure every one. I found a nice little quartz drill point this year but gave it to the Historical Society. The axe was a local find but given to me by an Uncle. Another Uncle in Tennessee has a very nice collection and used to take us when we were kids. I have some of those somewhere (flint)and a bucket of brokens that he gave me. I need to find them now and make a picture like Rick's.

Here are some other pictures of the paleo points. I will have to get a close up of the other piece. It is a high grade flint ridge tip w/ serrations. Would have been a dandy for sure. May have been a large bifurcate, maybe a McCorkle.
