Artifacts From Around The USA - *New Pictures Added*

[The Grim Reaper]

In the past year or so I have been attempting to get some artifacts from every state in America and have succeeded in getting 25 states so far including my home state of Ohio. I already had pieces from Kentucky since I hunt there quite often, but I've also gotten artifacts from these following states either by trading or by people donating pieces to me. (my favorite way of getting them. lol)

Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Georgia
Illinois
Iowa
Kentucky
Minnesota
Missouri
Montana
New Jersey
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Washington
West Virginia
Wyoming

I've got pictures of most of the pieces, but some I haven't taken pictures of yet.

Theses are Alaska, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas in that order.

If anyone would like to do some trading or maybe donate a few items from their state that I don't already have send me a PM or let me know on here and we can make arrangements.

Here's a few more pictures of some of the pieces I've acquired.

The 1st picture is some pieces from Wisconsin.

The 2nd is of some Petrified Palmwood and Petrified Wood from Texas.

The 3rd is some Daltons from Texas and Oklahoma.

The 4th is a tray of Triangles from Kentucky.

The 5th is some Perds from Texas.

The 6th is a close up of the Cahokia from Missouri.

The 7th and 8th are some more pics of the Harpoon and Plummet from Alaska.

The last 4 pics are some more pieces from North Dakota.

I'm going to try to get some more pictures of the rest of the states pieces and I'll post them later.

I never get tired of looking at your collection.
You almost have a museum, only with everything out on display.
Awesome.

Steve - I'll put you together a package of stuff from IL. I don't have a lot to offer as far as nice points but I can come up some points and tools I'm sure. I've found artifacts in about a dozen states. I'll look through your list and if I can find something else to send I'll throw it in too. Email me your address and I'll get something out next week.

Re: Artifacts From Around The Good Ole US Of A

Here's a couple pictures of so more stuff I just got Saturday.

The first picture is all of the pieces I received. The top right is Tennessee, top left is Missouri, bottom right is from the Columbia River area and is both Washington and Oregon, and the bottom left was said to be from Texas but I think they look more like Great Basin pieces.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th pictures are the Columbia River pieces.

The 6th pictures is the pieces supposed to be from Texas.

The 7th is Tennessee.

The 8th is Missouri.

If anyone recognizes a type or material in any of these pictures I would appreciate it if you would ID it for me.

Thanks

Re: Artifacts From Around The Good Ole US Of A

Here's some new pieces I just received in the past week.

The first picture is a Stemmed point from New Jersey.

The 2nd and 3rd pictures are Stemmed points from Pennsylvania.

The 4th pictures is a group shot.

The 5th, 6th, and 7th pictures are a Dovetail and a Drill from Illinois. I'm pretty sure the white point is a Dove. It has a very heavily ground base and slight beveling on the blade. If not an actual Dove it is a early Archaic type similar to a Dove.

The last 4 pictures are some of the tiniest points I have ever seen. They are from Arizona and were a gist from Chad Gilbert who is a member on Arrowheadology.com. These points are very cool to say the least. The closest I can come to an ID is the two that look like "V's" could be Garzas and the other two might be Sobaipuri Points.

With the addition of these points I now have 25 states and I'm halfway to my goal.

Great idea....I love the harpoon....beautiful.

 

[musky44]

Very interesting, that is a great idea, all 50 states, quite a challenge wish i could help u. Good luck on the next 25, really enjoy checking out ur collection. keep us posted.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Thanks archer and musky. I am supposed to have some pieces coming from New Mexico, Indiana, and Virginia in the next few days and I think there are a couple other states coming with the Virginia pieces, though I'm not 100% sure. They said they were sending me some "east coast" examples and I know they live in Virginia. So that should get to at least 28 states.

I really appreciate all the help from everyone that has traded, donated, or sold me pieces in the past few months. If anyone needs something from Ohio or Kentucky I have tons of that and will Pay It Forward no problem. Just let me know.

Thanks for the comments about my collection. I really appreciate that. As for the Florida stuff, I have tried to work out a few deals with some people from Florida, but so far have been unsuccessful at finding anyone who is willing to do a trade.

Don't play the guitar, but it does get used for "picking" on occasion. lol

Yes, they are Pottery Discoidals and they are from Missouri. They were probably Game Pieces.
