Run, Sunny, Run!!
I agree with Tom. That's not the 1st time that pics been posted either. I never agreed with the Simpson typing, always thought Wheeler was more fitting as a type. Many knowable Florida collectors doubt any of them as being authentic. Tread carefully.Those are nice pieces! I don’t own this incredible frame of rare points, but I do have my eye on them. I have kept this picture for 5 years as a reminder that I need to some how get my hands on them lol. And yes they are authentic. Sorry I didn’t mean to hijack your post, those are nice finds congrats to you.View attachment 1780801
Nice variety of types and materials... what's the little one in the upper left corner?
Kindest regards,

Kantuck- i am torn on the type. I bounce around from union side notch to greenbriar to Chipola. What I do know is that it’s transitional paleo to early archaic because it isn’t heat treated, and it has that nice concave ground base. I’ve found lots of early archaic, but this is the oldest piece in my collection. It’s about 1.25-1.5” long. It’s a miracle I didn’t miss it.
Moustache Simpson Case: Impossible. Such wrong. Boom. (IMHOP)
Like I said I could be wrong. My judgement was based on who owns them and how much I know has been offered for them, and a trusted opinion of a friend who has handled them and when they were collected back in the 50’s. One thing I do know is two non slouch types almost exchanged big money for them and seller backed out. I’m not a Florida collector, so your opinion weighs more than mine.
