The sad thing is those blades are either stored away in boxes in the basement of some museum, probably the Historical Society Of Ohio since Moorehead dug them up or they went to England where a lot of stuff from the Ohio mounds ended up.

the prison is right next to it.the city of chillicothe. is about 2 miles from the site.those mounds are
quite impressive. one mound was just all pipes. makes sense one of the mounds had all those
cache blades.

thirty7 said:I took this picture from a book of mine. Over 7000 cache blades from a mound in Ross county Ohio, from a Hopewell site. Now that's a cache.
Flintfinder of Mo. said:I do know of a larger Cache. Its called the Crib mound cache found in March 1965 in Spencer county, Indiana. They were washed out by the Ohio river. The total number that can be accounted for is almost 11 thousand, and believed to have been more than 12,000. If you have the october issue of The Central States archy Journal,October 1968 , you can view the pics as well as read the artical on it told by the finder.(page144-147) It is an amazing story. Thanks for the post. John
