This is the paleo that I have in my collection currently. the 2 Sloan's at the bottom are over 5" and from Indiana, the center piece is an unfinished Clovis the base has the nipple for fluting, it is 6"+, it is from Ohio. the real prize in the whole case is the far right Dalton it is fluted serrated and absolutely perfect, it actually received a G 10+ from Davis!!! I also updated my website with some great pieces, bannerstones (1 from Earl Townsend) and 2 gorgets (both from prominent Ohio collectors) and I'll put up some more pics of my collection soon. thanks, Scott

Jonnyreb the side notched one is a dalton that was notched by a later culture, it is made of green patinated Hornstone. it has some of the best flaking I have ever seen on a trans-paleo piece, it has microflaking all along the edges. thanks for the interest, scott
 

Good stuff, I'd really like to take a closer look at the sloans, the one on the left bottom. got a close up of that one? Thanks for the look. John
 

Heres a pic of the bottom left and right sloan, first one is made of a pink and yellow jasper material, it is 5-1/4" long and found in Clinton Co. IND. the tip is broken but is rounded off. the Ft. payne chert sloan was found in Louisville Ky. and is 5-1/8" long. both are super nice and great additions to my collection. enjoy the pics and more to come. Scott

Dude those are some smokin points.Really very nice thanks for the show
 

Very nice artifacts. Do you keep them in a frame are or they displayed on a self,if its the ladder be careful letting some one get excited and drop one I've collected for 30+ years and its happened to me twice. Its hard to keep your calm when it happens. I have a relic room, here at home, admittance is only allowed if I'm supervising. Do you think I'm to overly protective?
 

I have a safe that everything expensive stays in. I will allow people who visit to hold them but I bring them out one at a time or in small lots. I would say that I'm over protective but I (or the person holding them) can't replace the piece. It is a one of a kind piece of ancient art. thanks for the responses, Scott
