An Idea to Protect and Present Your Small Points.

[old digger]

Here is an idea for some of those small delicate/gem points by using a coin holder protector. (Only really thin points may work) You may be able to insert the point without any tissue, and in that way you can view the point with a light source in the background. When using tissue, you can add by layers the amount of tissue to keep the point centered.

A couple of examples;

How much do they cost OD? You know most of us dont have much money.

Why not just put your small pts. in a display case?

Nice! I rarely find points that thin. Is the stemmed one copper?

I don't have lots of money either! I had to sell some of my silver halves and quarters and I kept the coin holders, so I thought this would be a good way of viewing/showing a point. I suppose a person could also tie some fishing filament to it and hang it in the kitchen window to remind oneself that it's time to hurry and finish the dishes and get out and do some hunting. If I remember they depend upon the size, but they run around a buck or two.

Just a suggestion so you can study/view each point individually. You can also keep track of where and when they were found on the back.

It is quite amazing how thin and well worked some of the points that we fine. Yes NC, the stemmed one is the copper trade point that I found in North Dakota thanks to Steve and John.

Here is a link to a case that I have for civil war relics. The individual cups are about an inch deep and have a foam insert that could be trimmed to hold a thicker point.

Thanks for sharing that site! I'll have to check those out. Looks like they would work for displaying gems and fossils, (sharks teeth).
