Just rearranging and figured I'd post a few photos.
Wood working tools made from the lip section of the queen conch shell.


Broken queen conch adze and celt tools.

Some stone

Sweet, GB! Love those smaller ones (shell). Those smaller ones were made during a specific time in my region (2300BP- A.D. 700) and wouldn't be surprised if it's the same by you.

That is almost exactly the same here..that's so intriguing.

Bill, you still have my address, right? After you get those arranged send em on. I know you have new stuff rolling in. As a favor to you, I'll take those. I know how hard it is to find storage space. Send the Celt in a well protected package!! Lol! You're saying "dream on" I bet. Nice stuff. I always look forward to seeing what you run across next. You think you will ever top that hard stone? Or.... Have you?

Some bone and other items

For me to know and you to find out..right NC. LOL.

That tiny Olivella bead, the shell half-cone thingy and that figure 8 shapish shell scraper thingy all blow my mind! Boom-Poof!!

That Duval is one of the nicest classic examples for the (sub)type I have ever seen in anyone's collection from FL!!!! It's Banner. (Note the diamond cross section@@@!!! muhaha)





Ka-Pes-Ka-Da "Shellman"

 

[GatorBoy]

Big thanks Tom!
Best bulbous stem Duval I've ever seen. Love that one!
That tiny bead blew my mind when I found it also.
It's definitely a Duval.
The maker was just very good and got this one thin and symmetrical..I know alot of them are funky.

I need a coral point for my collection if you get too many. They are one of my favorite types.

 

[VERDE]

Hey GatorBoy!! Really nice FINDS!! I agree with everyone else!! If you need a little storage space I would be happy to drive over from white dirt country and pick them up!! He He!! GOOD HUNTING!! VERDE!!

Ritch, let me know when you are heading down to Gator's. I'll ride with you and split gas cost. I'm sure he'll be glad to see us. Lol! Gator's a good man.

 

[GatorBoy]

I'll make a big pot of boiled peanuts and slaughter a hog for ya!
LOL. Good Times!
I have a big batch Of Spanish mackerel on the smoker right now.

 

[rock]

Spanish Mac did you catch them in Sabastion Inlet off the pier? Its been a long time since Ive caught one. If Tnm goes down maybe you 2 can make a run to the coast for the red fish run. I use to go on vacation every yr just for that. I sure do miss the fishing.
