Illinois Folsom

[BobTheBaitFish]

Several years ago my dad bought some farm land in northern illinois. The previous farmer had a large collection of points he had found in the area. He didn't have the slightest idea what any of his points were or what they were worth. We reported the points to NIU and they sent out an archaeologist who took these pictures. I believe the points may have been included in the Illinois Fluted Point Survey.

At any rate it's interesting to see an illinois folsom point.

I have a Great Uncle who owns 800 acres in Rock I sland Co. I was supposed to go visit him later this month and do my first Illinois artifact hunting. Now surgery on my leg has put that trip on hold . After looking at yours and BadANDY,S among others I hope I,m lucky enough to find some nice Illinois examples as well. Thanks for sharing. Jeff

Man, finding a fluted point is more rare than finding a gold coin--I mean I bet there were more gold coins minted by at least ten times than there were fluted projectile points knapped.

Even a broken flute is a swell find.
