I don't have many pieces of Flint Ridge as we don't find many in Illinois. This is the only one that I have a picture of handy but its not a blade. The dove was found near Harrisburg in Illinois which is on the very South Eastern Edge of the state. It is about 5 inches long

Real nice piece Mooch, they all are great quality. Two killer doves and hardin.

Yeah but you've got sites that could produce artifacts like those. I can only buy it, or hope to find a rare and random piece in WV, I've never found any ridge in Va.

No thanks, just here to learn and share and throw up some eye candy every once in awhile.

I had to have a piece of the ridge so I bought this kirk at the Collinsville show.
Not really a blade, but I thought I'd share.
It's from Sharpsburg KY.

that is one of nicest kirks i have seen SoIll ,woo doggy that is a nice piece of ridge.thx for sharing that pic

Spectacular point Solll, a killer in all regards. I know Kirks vary alot from area to area and it could be a Kirk, but with the large notches and expanding base, it could be a Motley?

thats funny you mentioned that.when i first looked at it i thought it was more like a hopewell point than a kirk,kirks usually have much narrower notches.i once got into a debate with matt rowe on motleys,and from that debate he ruled out a motley being found that far out of the area of distribution,mo.,arks.okla.so who knows.i know its a killer piece.

[SoIll]

Thanks for the compliments.
I just say Kirk because that was what the guy who sold it was calling it.
I think "Kirk" gets stuck on a lot of points that aren't really that type.

Fort ancient knife and an x-Hothem preform.

[creek astronaut]

you are killin me 37,promised the ole lady i would get some stuff done around the house today.there isnt a cloud in the sky and its approaching 70 degrees,I should be in a creek.And now you are showin some killer ridge!may have to go get some bread & milk and say i got lost.thing with that is i better find some good stuff, then i can justify being in the dog house

[Th3rty7]

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm having a tough time staying in on this really nice day, I feel like I played two football games from kayaking up river and hunting yesterday. Good luck if you hit the creeks.
