✅ SOLVED Can you spot the fake

[monsterrack]

I don't know who came up with this idea, I read it on a post by someone that a thread should be started on this, so(CAN YOU SPOT THE FAKE). I hope my pics are good enough. I will post the answer in two days and answer any questions you have on any of the points. Thanks for looking

Number one

Thats why I dont buy outside of my area. Ga and Tn only. I dont know the lithics of other states.

 

[digordie]

I say #1. Its too perfect. And a knapper would have tried to incorporate that red streak into the point.

 

[rock]

Are you going to flip them over and take a new pick when you reveal the answer?

 

[VERDE]

Here is the flip side, lets see what that does to your thought pattern. When I tell the answer I will talk about feeling a point and other ways people try to judge on artifacts

Im going to stick with #2. Thanks though.

A close look can show whether or not metal was used for pressure flaking and punching.
I'm sure you've heard of the "taste test." For acid.

 

[Ammonhotep]

I'm no pro, but I'll go with #2.

 

[wvwildman]

im going with #3

 

[Tnmountains]

Well I say # 5 because of the reduction sideways on the base and the notching looks wrong. But hey I am scared of items unless I see them on the ground now days.
Fun post.

I suspect #4 is the fake. The reason I am guessing #4 is because it has much more of a perfect delta shape than the others.

 

[Gold Maven]

Good pics, but nothing like having them in your hands...every one could be fake...3, 2, 4, I'll guess 3.

 

[Mekong Mike]

I say number 3.

It looks too broad and chunky. Not streamlined enough for flight.

Flintknappers today are very good, but sometimes in the quest for a quick buck they cut corners. The original flintknappers would be concerned with flight and penetration.

 

[dlos]

Out with it already!

It's 1 or 5 I guess...

 

[ivan salis]

I THINK #1

 

[rock]

It would be funny if all of them were or none of them are. There is that possibility.

 

[Red Earth]

Rock, that's just what I been thinking all night and morning

 

[GatorBoy]

Most of the points came from same area, if I say anymore I will give the answer away. I will say this about a repo.I know a flint knapper .

This answer was suspect.
