I've only found one whole one, plus a fragmented one. Found in Cent. IL. Gary

Here's some that I purchased. We'll see who has a sharp eye and can recognize these. Three of these are famous. Gary

Maybe it has a different name in your region but that Cumberland, middle, the flute is so large it nearly runs off the edge

"Three of these are famous"

Three of those Clovis casts are Lamb site points.

We have a winner! Sharp eye 11KBP. These were cast by Lithic Casting Lab in Troy, IL. Casts are a great way to get a point in your hand that you could otherwise never afford. Gary

This is what I believe to be a Paleo point. It was found on a farm along the Kokosing River in Coshocton County, Oh. It was found by Dan Kuhn in the 1970's. I bought a large collection of his and this one is one of my favorites. The material should be Coshocton Flint but that is usually fairly shiny so I'm not sure. Could be toned down because of its age and patina.

The large black Lance in this frame is Paleo. It is heavily ground for about an inch and a half on both sides of the base. This was gift from a lady I helped ID and price her fathers collection for her to resale. Really shocked me when she offered it to me. I told her it wasn't necessary but she insisted I have it. From Michigan.

It’s interesting seeing the difference between east and west coast paleo finds

Here is another Haskett and a small Lake Mohave, Parman or possibly a small Cougar Mtn. They are both heavily ground.
