I had some time the other day to take some pictures of some frames of flint that we had put together to take for dislay at a couple of local shows. I took some close ups of the some of the highlights plus a picture of a 4 of the 6 Thebes Gap Points from the Guy Brother Cache. Hope you enjoy them all. Most of these pieces were found in Southern Illinois and were found over 80 years ago.

Thanks for all of the remarks. It took a lot of years to put that frame together and it was put together many many years ago. I will add that it won 7 best of shows out of the 9 shows it went to before we switched frames.

We have County locations on most all of these points. What county do you live in and I'll tell you if any of them were found local.

Super frame again buddy! That big Dove is unreal, but then again so is the frame. I live in Madison Co., IL. I bet you don't have anything from that Co. in your collection, LOL!

I hunt in Washington, marion and jefferson county. Those pieces are truly amazing. I do have a buddy even further south around harrisburg who has some ground and wants to get into hunting arrowheads so hopefully I can make it down there to go with him.
