Adding to our collection one point at a time!

Charmin · Apr 7, 2009

The girls and I were out looking for deer sheds(found 2

) this evening and did a little artifact hunting in a new spot we'd been wanting to check out.
My oldest daughter found this point(Cossatot or Martindale maybe?), and its almost perfect except for a little nick out of one ear. It has beautiful flaking and is about 1 1/2" in length. We found lots of flint and even a couple of big chunks(are these called spalls or core pieces?). There is also some broke pieces and another whole scraper/point . We're adding to our collection one point at a time and making lots of good memories! Hope you all enjoy! and thanks for looking!! regards, sandcreek4

That's a very nice point. Looks like you found a lot of interesting stuff. I like the antlers also,I've only found two so far. I have a buddy who has found thirty so far this year. Two matching pair.

Thanks Muddy Feet--we've found 6 matching pair of antlers this year and a whole bunch of singles. One pair of horns had 12 inch G2's! but his brow tines were broke. Here's a pic of our antlers~~kind regards, sandcreek4

Thanks DorkFish--the deer antlers go well with artifacts, huh?

They just take up a lot more room! kind regards~~sandcreek4

Thanks Randy! If we find enough sheds, I'd like to have a lamp made up using them. I'll have to do something with them or my husband will use them in knife handles! kind regards, sandcreek4

Yes they do. I don't have as many as you do, but I find them every now and then.

sweet point, alot of interesting finds and that's a nice old shed. quality crispy photos too, thanks for sharing. I have to admit that I'd be working some of those sheds into stag handles for knives too, like the lamp idea also.

, but glad you enjoyed them :thumbsup:

Sandcreek, check your paper for stores going out of business and for auctions for store liqiudations. I only paid $25 for that case at a store that was going out of business. I have another one just like it that my buddy bought at the same store and then decided to put his collection in a curio cabinet and gave me the case. I have another big one that I got for $20 because it didn't have any doors and the top glass was broken. I also have a curio cabinet I got when I was working at a furniture warehouse that came in off the truck damaged and they were going to throw it away so I got it and fixed it back to new.

Here's some pics of the big case that I got for $20, the other case like the one above, and my curio cabinet.

Those are nice cases! I'll have to start looking at the local auctions and see if I can find some. I might need a bigger house, though ::)

! Thanks for showing all your cool artifacts! Looks like you have a lot of pottery pieces, too?
kind regards, sandcreek4

Yeah, we find a lot of Pottery Shards on the Ft Ancient sites in our area. I usually don't pick them up unless they are a rim piece or a piece with a handle. I display the better ones and I have boxes and boxes of pieces.
