Here are a couple of flint fishhooks that were in his collection. They were very thin and flat and also supposedly found in eastern Kentucky along with the bear claw during a dig under a rock shelter. Do you all think that they're authentic?
The bear tooth looks right as rain for a Kentucky shelter find. I don't know if the other items are fish hooks, or just little eccentric knapping doodads, but they don't look like fakes to me.
