Our Pottery Sherd State Collection

[Flea-bit Monkey]

Our Pottery Sherd State Collection updated 9/5

Earlier this year my wife and I decided we wanted to collect pottery sherds from other states.We have about a dozen personal finds from here in central IL. We were able to obtain MO and ND at the Collinsville show. Then we turned to the internet, and through the amazing generosity of fellow headhunters, our collection has grown rapidly. We are making our own cases and so far have fourteen cases done.
We have 25 States so far,
IL, MO, ND, KS,MN, PA, NY, NJ, SC, GA, MS, OH, KY, IN, LA,CO,NV, UT,
NM and MEXICO, we need a few more from AR, AL, VA, NE, IA, FL.

We have a few but could always use a few more. The ones we have, don't know where there from.

 

[GatorBoy]

Is there any way you could post a photo of those.. so if I send you some I don't send you duplicates.

Too bad you already have Georgia or I would be willing to send you some pottery from the deep south. Where "Old times here ain't forgotten"

I don't think NC was on your list. I wish I could help, but I've only found a shard or so my whole life. I have plenty of SC. And VA. But NC, especially the piedmont area to find pottery is a true treasure. I was on a quest for years before I finally found a few pieces. Other parts of NC. It's not so rare. The high acid content of our soil makes pottery almost like a loch nest monster.

Where did you find the piece like shown above? This I found in NC piedmont area. It's glazed, so I'm not sure of it being Native American. Any insight you can give me?

It's hard to tell in the pics. It may be modern.

We have an offer for some from Western NC.

Their is a plenty in NC, just the piedmont is tough on pottery. If you don't dig it up in a pretty damp area or it doesn't wash out of a trash pit, onto a lake shore, forget about it.

I have only found 1 piece of a stone bowl to date. Those are nice. Pottery is overlooked as a collection piece. I like all artifacts.
