My 49 Continental States Collection *New Pictures Added*

[The Grim Reaper]

Okay guys and gals, here it is. Some of you have been asking to see all of my States Collection so I am going to list them in alphabetical order. Since I can only put on 12 pictures per post it will take several posts to get them all on so if you would please refrain from commenting until I get them all on. Thanks.

I only did 49 states and didn't worry about Hawaii since they are Polynesian and not American Indian.

I want to say thanks to everyone that helped me achieve this. There are quite a few on this site that helped out tremendously.

Okay, that's all 49 states. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did acquiring them. It was a very fun project and I met a lot of very nice and very generous people along the way. Thanks to all of you.

All I have to say is WOW! man you have everything from late woodland/missisipian triangles,hafted scrapers,drills,bone tools etc,along with some killer transitional and archaic points ,now thats what I call a serious collection.You should create a "museum room" in your house with that many artifacts.Well done man you did your homework thats 4sure and covered EVERY state,not an easy task to say the least ,congrats on the completion man u deserve it!

I agree that is a outstanding collection Steve lot's of nice artifacts there , it would be hard to single out one certain group to say which is the most interesting because they are all fantastic . You have done very well putting that collection together . My hat is off to you Sir.

Thanks for taking the time to post this thread Steve. I looked at the link you put up a few months ago, but there were alot of pictures on that one! This is a nice way to sample your collection, it's great, I really enjoy the diversity of artifacts.

Way To go Steve That is a nice collection. Could I interest you in some shelving ? Your going to have to open a museum. We'll all show up Great project, congrats on a sweet job ! Thanks for puttin in the effort. You the Man...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words. Everything you see, with the exception of the Ohio pieces which are all personal finds except for the tray of Bone Tools, has either been donated to me, traded for some Ohio pieces, or a few I had to buy. It took me right around 3 years to acquire all 49 states and the northeast was the hardest to come up with. Just not a lot of hunters up that way that frequent artifact sites and the ones that do really didn't want to part with anything. I guess that's why I have only one or just a few from all of those states.

The pieces I have the most from would be North Dakota, Louisiana, Texas, and South Carolina. The folks I dealt with from these states were very kind and generous in their donations.

Once again, thanks to everyone from here and all the other artifact boards that helped me complete this endeavor. I actually have some more coming in the mail from people who saw these pictures and asked if I'd like some more pieces from a few different states. I'm willing to trade with anyone who like to do so.

Since I posted these pictures here and over on Arrowheadology I have had offers from people to send me some new pieces from a few states, plus I bought a few new ones from Oklahoma.

Here's some new pictures of the ones I have got in the past couple of weeks.

The first picture is what I received and the second is the new tray I put together.

These first two pictures are from West Virgina.

The next 2 pictures are from Oklahoma.

The next 2 are from Massachusetts.

The last 2 are from Montana.
