Found a point cache today!! Help with I.D. Please...

[Jon Phillips]

Hello everyone...I have never had a cause to post in this forum before, as I had never found a complete point, but today was just unbelievable. I'm still in shock!

Here is the link to the whole story:

What I would like to know is....Are these Hillsborough Points?

I found 10 nice ones, and 3 broken tips in a hole while digging a piece of buckshot.















That's a quarter in those shots, if you can't tell....

Thanks alot for any help anyone can give me on these........


Edit: More pics.....

What a fantastic find. A cache. What is the ago on these and were they often done in caches like adena? I would post some really cleaned up pictures of all of them together. Love to see them.
Congratulations on a great hunt and discovery.

Man you done good. Only once in my life I found two points together. Awesome finds and lottery winning kind of luck.

Not going to hijack but my massive cache was 3 items together made by the same guy. You finds are stellar sir.

Wow!! I'm gearing up to go out today but now thinking I should just stay home since I won't have a day like that! It would be awesome to find just one of those alone, it's incredible to find them all together! Good job!

 

[Jon Phillips]

Thanks so much everyone!

I plan on cleaning them up today, and posting some updated pics....plus loading some to Photobucket for large images if they don't show up big from the Tnet upload.

gotta keep coming back for another view

sure hope we see them on the banner
lotta nice coins up there but no blades or points
a once in a lifetime find
must have took the maker all day to make those, or longer?

 

[IlliniGuy]

Let me be the first to congratulate you on making the Banner!

 

[Wildcat1750]

Yikes!!!! Such big points and lots of them!

 

[naturegirl]

Honest! I came to tnet this morning with the intention of posting a comment about how long it has been since a truly ancient artifact has been on the banner, and how even though MY hunting chances are slim till we get rain, I was hoping someone else could make a banner find! again, Congratulations Jon! what a way to end the year!

Let me be the first to congratulate you on making the Banner!

Thanks!

I updated the pics in the first post.....

OUTSTANDING. You can really see the close relationship to the Newnan point type with that many examples in one photo.
