my favorite jaw notch KRF point,...and some elks teeth

[larson1951]

my wife ran across a cigar box full of differe nt artifacts
i was happy since it contained a lot of good pieces that i thought i lost
this is my most favorite jaw notch Knife River Flint arrow head
the elks teeth that digger and i found are really shiny
some them were used so long that the holes wore out and a few had a second hole drilled which also wore out
i am thinking these might have been worn and passed along for hundreds of years
my favorite is the big one with the lines engraved on the bottm

That is a sweet little Jaw Notch Point Steve and those Elk Teeth are killer. I have never found a drilled Elk Tooth, though they are found here. Glad your wife found the box. It's like Christmas when you find a box of pieces you thought you had lost.

Steve, that is a beautiful point. Those elk teeth are very interesting, I agree it does look like they were worn or used a long time they are great.
