These are some of my finds over a few years. In the 3rd picture of the black birdstone you can see where I dropped it and broke off head. Ouch that was appraised at $2000. Lots of pics

Nice stuff....I like the maiden on the plate

Thats a cool frame of points...some pretty ones on there.

Did you dig up the pottery yourself? The first bowl is very nice.

Happy Hunting,

All the drooling has ruined my keyboard what a show!

The pot was dug by me when I was a young boy in Southeast Missouri. It was found just east of Charleston.

Killer winged bannerstone! Is it unfinished? Looks like the hole stops half way.
Nice collection.

How about a closer look at the frame with that corner tang in the middle?

It goes all the way through. I just shot it at wrong angle. I almost cr*pped my pants when I found it 5 years ago. If you look at Superduty's post on Local Mound it was found west of it.

The birdstones and the banners and one axe I would have to view in person. I own an authentic banners and one birdstone and a bunch of axes. These look spurious to be truthfull, nice collection anyways. Happy hunting.

HEY BUD YOU HAVE SOME VERY QUESTIONABLE STUFF THERE IN YOUR COLLECTION!!!

Re: My Indian Finds. Control Your Drooling

I think most of these things look legit- a very nice collection.

Re: My Indian Finds. Control Your Drooling

Sorry that some of you question some of my collection pieces. I wish I had the collection I had when my house burnt in 1972. I guarantee that I would not still be working. In the excavation at Charleston, MO our family found over 470 complete pots. We probed this area for over 3 weeks. My uncle in Arkansas still has several pieces. The landowner got half, but he passed away and left to daughter. I have been collecting for over 36 years and started at 8 years of age. My family in Illinois owns over 6 mounds. So everytime we till the ground for planting I hit the area for several days. I usually wait for the first rain after tilling. I will show my collection to a few T-Net Members and let them post what they think. Thanks camb1

Again, lets see that corner tang up close.

Re: My Indian Finds. Control Your Drooling

I can't fling stones at your artifacts' authenticity because here in southeastern Iowa we hunt along the Des Moines and find a wide variety of materials and pieces from vastly different times. We don't even have any big mounds but my father-in-law has some very unusual items because he has owned this land for over 30 years. I think you've got some really nice artifacts there and if they aren't real then all I can say is good job to the person who is so talented at making reproductions.
Thanks for posting them.
