Latest Mailbox Finds

The Grim Reaper · Feb 12, 2011

I got these in the mail today from one of the Arrowheadology members, Gibby, and to say he outdid himself is the understatement of the year. I was just completely blown away when I started opening the packages and saw what was inside.

The first thing I noticed was the 2 Celts and I thought to myself, "damn, he sent Stone Tools". Then I unwrapped the first package and found all the pieces in the top of the first photo. I just couldn't believe it. An awesome Thebes, a Dovetail, another Thebes like point that looks to be an E-Notch type, 2 nice looking Paleo? looking points, and 2 very nice reworked points, one that was more than likely used as Spokeshave and the other looks like an Edgefield Scraper.

Then I opened the 2nd package and found all the killer Tools in the bottom row. A really nice Uniface Tool with great edge work, the 2 very colorful Uniface pieces next to it, and the great long Knife from the Converse auction.

Thank you so much for the great package. You really made my day, especially after watching the Buckeyes get beat. That was a bummer.

Enjoy the pics.

Yeah, I plan on buying some at the Ripley show. You can get some great deals on trays there.

I couldn't figure out what you meant at first, but now I see you're talking about my fingernail. Good one. They do come in handy, don't they. lol

That's because I haven't been hunting in a while. With all the snow we've had and the ground being frozen I just haven't went for quite some time. Plus, we are trying are best to finish off all the baseboards and casements around the walls, doors, and windows in the house. So most of my time off is spent doing that here lately. Almost finished though so I should be in the fields soon. I'll be glad when this remodeling is finally through. lol

Thanks Molly. I'm still in awe at what he sent me. I'm going to have to send him some nice pieces to repay his kindness.

is the second and third a thebes ?

The Grim Reaper · Feb 14, 2011

The point in pictures 2, 3, and 4 is definitely a Thebes. I also believe the one in pic #6 is a Thebes as well and possibly a E-Notch type. It shows a slight "E" on one side of the base.
