Although I am thrilled to have these....I did not find any of them. I have a friend that has the most amazing collections of artifacts I have ever seen. He had 2 boxes of frames he had made to sell at shows....and never did so he commissioned me to sell them on eBay. He asked me if I wanted cash or points...I opted for points! Anyway...he has given me these for my efforts...and of course it costed me to sell them, but thats cool. I am very happy to have them....but they dont mean as much to me as my wife and I's personal finds. Please have a look, and if you see something extra special I should know about...please let me know! Thanks for looking....BTW....I posted the drills before on someones drills post.

Nice. A lot of that looks familiar. You need help on e-bay let me know :laughing7:
I agree with you though. Something about a found by you point is more important. I hope you keep to that line of thinking. Its nice thought to hold and see artifacts from all cultures.
Looks like you have some real winners in there as well.
Happy huntin.

I have only been avidly hunting since November. Which ones are Cobbs? Are those the best ones in the frames? Thanks....I do appreciate your help.

Cobbs knives are early archaic triangular shaped blades with beveled edges on opposite sides. In the center of your first frame the two large blades look like Cobbs, specifically the piece to the right. In the second frame the longest piece, center row to the right looks like a Cobbs too.

Here's a couple from my collection for pointers.

Awesome pics thirty7....what kind of value do the Cobbs have?

So many variables come into play when determining value. I've seen average smaller examples go from 20 - 60 dollars, nice 4" plus examples go from 150 - 500.

Here's a couple of Cobbs pages from the latest overstreet guide. Low price is wholesale, high is retail.
