Looks like a good one. Maybe think about getting it restored. I’m sure someone on here would know a person for you

I think I might do just that! I actually already reached out to a guy who will do it pretty reasonable.

Thanks! I’m tickled about it even though it’s broken

Dr. Gomer is the best, hands down.

Broken points are 75% or more of what you will find.

Yep! That’s who I’ve been talking to. Little more expensive but awesome work

I’ve never heard of Gomer but Dennis Bushey in AL is one of the best I’ve seen.

What is the prices on these guys? And is it real stone or a resin. I might have a few myself I’d like to get done

Bushey uses resin of some sort and paints them to match. I haven’t sent any in for a long time. No idea on recent pricing. This is a Harrison Turkeytail that he restored quite a few yrs ago. He restored upper half.

It’s “Todd’s Point”, just like my user name. Actually, Todds Point is the town where I live. My name is Gary.🤣
The guy that found it lived near the OH River in Harrison Co.(RIP) He had a 5 gal bucket of broken turkey tails. He let me pick one out. He also had whole ones but wasn’t giving those away. He took me around Harrison Co looking for flint balls to knap. He knew everyone and we got on private with lots of flint. We ended up with 20 5gal buckets with at least 50 lb per bucket. Those were good times back in the 90s.

Wow beautiful work.

That is a fine point for sure.

I have had relic restored by Scott Stoneking, his web site is https://www.scotstoneking.com/

He restored a 15-inch spud i found at a farm sale. Broke clean in two. You could put the two halves together and the seam was tight. His work is very good.

Still a beautiful point even with the broken tip. I found a Hardaway Dalton recently with 1 broken ear. Always finding more broken stuff compared to whole points but thats the nature of the beast.
