supposedly from the kentucky / tennessee border. I know very little about these points, not even sure of the material. To be honest I question their authenticity, they're just to good to be true. Next time I go through Kentucky, I will see what Jackson thinks.

Man those are killers. I hope they are real.

Niceuns...

thirty7, the material on the first one looks like Carter Cave Flint to me. Not sure on the second one though.

 

[Th3rty7]

thanks for looking and commenting guys/ gals, I was thinking carter cave as well dorkfish, the second one is tough to i.d., pretty material though, translucent around the edges.

If it was west ky/tn, Id say they were both kaolin.

 

[Th3rty7]

It was the very western ky/tn border, you're probably right Solll

I would have them looked at for sure. my reasoning is that the second one looks like Edwards chert/flint from Texas. it wouldn't hurt to get an outside opinion. here is one that I have in my collection from Illinois, I took it to Davis a few years ago and he gave it a G-10+.

 

[Th3rty7]

that's a beauty, killer piece. I'm definitely going to get these looked at, and papered if authentic. I have a question for anyone who may know. Can you get a piece authenticated at an artifact show? is there usually an authenticator at shows? I plan on attending the Ripley show in a couple of weeks, wondering if I should bring some stuff to get authenticated.

Wow, those are outstanding. Looks like a great collection in the background also.

There are usually authenticators at the big shows.
