Pictures of artifacts please

I am starting this thread in the hopes that the members of this forum will flood it with pictures of all the various artifacts they have found and or collected over time. I figured this thread could provide novice hunters and collectors with a vast wealth from which to learn from and compare to.

I thank you all for helping further my education as well as others.

Here is an older picture I have on my laptop. Dovetails from Whitley County Indiana, most are personal finds but a couple are purchases from old collections that I bought because of where they were found.

I've posted these before, but figured they fit here. The point in the center is a picture of a find I sold in High School, still hope to refind and acquire it one of these years.

Are you at liberty to describe the find to us? If not, I understand. Was the encrusted one on top and crusty side up?

they were stacked all together when i found them. possibly ceremonial from my understanding of the documentation on other benton caches and the fact they are first stage with no resharpening. all three blades have the same concretion/calcification on one side while the reverse is clean. the build up is rock hard and contributes thickness of some millimeters to each. it is similar to something that you would find in a cave where water had been dripping over a very long time. no amount of scrubbing would wash it off. i could remove it with muriatic acid. but that would also take away something that cannot be replicated and establishes that they are genuine. i've cleaned other, less notable finds, with muriatic acid that had similar build up.

it would be amazing to see the covered up side of each. a lot of pieces that i find have an "A" and "B" side for me. "A" means the side that faces up in the frame because it looks a little bit better that the other.. hah. i don't know if the natives had any sort of similar thought process. if they did, the side with the concretion (i'm assuming) would have been the face up A sides of each by whomever placed them there.

Let's see if this works (an image I posted 10 years ago when I had a camera-computer-image program working)

Found by Cecil Hewitt in Allen Co., Kentucky ; ex Jon Dickson. Brian Williard OSL-identified this as Dover chert and anywhere from Early Archaic back to Paleo in age (local radon levels in soils make precise dating moot). From the continuous edge curation (an EA practice rare in Paleo), more than likely Early Holocene in age.

Intriguingly however, it's a dead ringer match for a Solutrian Plane Face Point illustrated in Across Atlantic Ice in size,shape & edge curation, so go figure.

No idea what the spots are from, although I've seen it on other artifacts. Anybody know ?

A personal favorite.

There. Now I'm not freeloading any more ! :hello2:

Awesome stuff, people appreciated you back then. I gonna start you a gofundeme page to get you an IPhone so you can put up some new pics.
 

Whoa, Fred !!!!

The wife has a camera already. I'm just an old fossil who doesn't have a photo editing program or any of the in-between stuff. Plus, trying to type text on that little thing is torture.

So thank you anyhow. Really. I appreciate the thought. But please DON'T, OK ? :hello:
 

Yeah I wouldn’t know how anyway, just busting your chops.
