Hardstone From Flint City

[Johnny X]

Here's all of the Hardstone artifacts I now have. All found by my grandfather/brother/ and myself. All from the same 5 acre site. This isn't including the dozen or so my uncle has also found there.

you ever wonder how they could lose so much stuff? I mean what else did they have to do? No tv so if you dropped something look for it!! I mean rocks don't grow on trees

Dang those are sweet finds. Where is flint city located? Meaning what state etc. Makes one wonder if there was a battle on your sight or a village that had been attacked or pillaged or something.

Outlaw, unfortunately They all have their fair share of plow scars, I have most of them turned down for the pic though. They were all surface finds over about 15 years. I have about 15 completely broken ones, bits and grooves that the plow didn't spare as well.
