I found my first complete Folsom today !!! I have found 3 or 4 broken ones but not this time !!! Its all there !!! Killer Killer . I will post more pics if i can stop shaking , LOL!!! Enjoy !! I found it in Gaines Co. Tx.
Whitecounty , this is truly a superior example , priceless , this example there is no limit that can be reached . Cosmos were with you on this one Manchu !
At a well represented artifact auction, with 2 or 3 papers(COA's), My guess is that it would bring between 4 and 8 thousand. Now if you get a couple guys going crazy over it, it just may touch the 5 figure mark. But none of that matters because that is a priceless keeper for the finder
As a sidenote, the economy has hurt values a bit and a few years back I would have said 10K all day long. I have a 5 1/2" translucent agatized coral double fluted clovis from the suwannee river that I was offered 10K for a few years ago. It is probably only in the 4 to 8 range now though. No biggie, I'll never sell it! The high end such as this ones quality haven't suffered nearly as much as the say $500-$1000 points.
I have not posted on here for a while, but after seeing this find I had to log in and say WOW!!! Congrats on your find of a lifetime! That's gonna be tough to top.
Western, that comment actually pisses me off.......
I think everyone follows the same code of ethics on here right? Do you tell this to every member that finds a confederate button where the soldier got slain at that very spot? Or how about that mini ball that took anothers life and lays on the field untill a metal detector comes upon it? Or better yet that chain cent that was found at an old foundation? Pretty damn archaeologicaly important too right? OF COURSE
So chill out and enjoy the pictures
This point is so cool I had to check it out again.
I don't hunt for points and really know nothing about them but for some reason I love seeing them up on the banner. Once I have so spare leisure time I may have to try out a hunt for these bad boys. Although I don't usually see any banner points coming from the NE U.S. of A it still would be cool to find some.
There was a whisper on the fall winds about this folsum Manchu. I know how excited you must still be. Excellant and fine example. Congratulations sir.
