7 inch spear point sells for.......WOW!

[treasurejack]

It took place at a public auction in Findlay Ohio, as reported in the "Lima News", it was a rare Archaic spear point with dovetail between 2000 & 4000 years old, it sold for $121,000.00 !!!! According to the article I guess less then fifteen of them have ever been found, (or at least reported.) I don't have a link or picture but I'm sure there's one out there if you want to search for it. Just thought I'd pass the word around in case any of you might not recognize the true value of that great find you made last year. lol

Hi Mogi,

Maybe you can start a new thread so that this one stays on the original topic. My apologies for distracting with my comment.

Ok, can anyone please tell me what makes this 7 inch Dovetail that valuable? Is it the size?, the flint its made of? Its shape? Or because not many found or reported anyway? And does anyone have a link to that story? Or none of the above? lol
Thanks

There are a lot of 7 inch Dovetails, but finding an authentic one is difficult. If it's legit, it would bring a premium price. The buyer had plenty of cash and wanted the piece. He probably could have spent 3 or 4 times that if he had to.
