Any help Identifying these and maybe valuing them? Arrowhead/Spearhead?

[AndyE89]

These were found in Southeastern Wisconsin in the 1960's on two separate farm fields owned by my family.

I was wondering if there is anyone who could maybe help me identify them, and give me some kind of value or estimated value.

There were a few more, but they were "run of the mill" types, and not in the best shape.

These are the 2 that I thought were most interesting.

Thanks in advance.

The best way to get a feel for what items like that are worth would be to see what similar items are selling for on e-bay. They have thousands of them on there, and looking there would give you a good idea. They are not very high grade items, and I don't think you would be happy with their actual value. Now, you just never know, so I would also show the ones you don't think are much. Artifacts can be full of surprises.

Left one looks like might be a Hemphill.... the other is a blade/knife form.

EBay is so flooded with fakes and people with limited knowledge readily handing over money for them I can't see how that would be reliable standard for value.

They are nice artifact, value is what they mean to the owner. On the market you might get $30 for the 2 ,but if you are a family member found them they could be of more value to you since they came off of family land.

Sorry for chimming in dudes, but the guy did ask for types, and values or estimated values. Since I am not interested try to type

The best way to find out is seeing what the market is doing. You go to sell your house, and what do they do to find an asking price or value? Look at comparable homes correct? Now, you guys find one place that sells as many artifacts (a bigger market) and I will recommed them.

And ebay is NOT flooded with fakes, especially of this caliber of an artifact. Anyone that wants to throw blanket statements and accusations out like "ebay is so flooded with fakes" for the world to see, may want to start adding that it was just his opinion before he finds himself in a bind. That's Libel.

I will have to agree with Quito, not all points on e-bay are fakes. I have sold points on e-bay that for sure where not fake, it's the points that are just to good to be true that you have to take a good look at.

I've sold hundreds, and probably bought near the same amount. Only got burned once, I screwed up letting someone take me off site to do the deal.

Is this better... It is my opinion that ebay IS flooded with fakes.
It's also my opinion that anyone who has bought hundreds of points from ebay has a collection that is very tainted.
I have free speech my friend I do not have to preface something I say about eBay.. That's hilarious.

Opinions are like noses, everyone has one.

You better stop with the insults, and wild accusations young fella. You have no idea of my collection, just the few that I have shown.

eBay is loaded with fakes IMO. Some people buy them, so they keep selling them. Not the place to a acquire artifacts, once again IMO.

"I have free speech my friend I do not have to preface something I say about eBay.. That's hilarious."

Perhaps I should have said defamation instead of Libel.

Full of fakes

Like I said earlier, you guys just stay away from there. I'll keep on plucking the occasional good deals out of there like I have been doing for years.
You guys will never know how heart broke I was when I pulled this one out of there a few years ago.

 

[GatorBoy]

Probably as bad as me when I found this myself.
I never said they were all fake that would be silly but what I said and what I believe is that there are a very large number of fake artifacts being sold through ebay and bounced around all over the country diminishing the value of the entire group.


And because there may have been a piece of paper attached to that piece in your hand proves nothing in today's market if that didn't come from an area where you are used to having your hands on the material the risk is all yours and the odds are not in your favor the people have got very very good at fooling buyers

Please quit stalking me. I've had enough of your insults.

Full of fakes

And I'm tired of your lies.

Here is a deal

Yes sir, especially if you like reproductions like they are advertised as.
I'll drop you a little hint. Stay in the pre-1600 category instead of native american crafts, and the percentage of authentic artifacts will increase dramatically.

That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks.
Happy hunting everyone wherever you find them.
