The black one and the one on the far right in your hand have always been my two favorites. They just don't get much better then those two.
 

i like the agate one in my hand also
well actually all four in my hand
thanks reap
stevie
 

I like them all, but I have to agree those four in your hand are great:headbang:. The agate one is nice:unhappysmiley:. that one with the broken tip would have been a killer if the tip wasn't gone:dontknow:. Sure some nice point's Steve.:icon_thumright:
 

Steve is right...they don't get much better! I believe these are on the level of Cahokia and Spiro points! :)
 

once again thank you my friends
 

The Mandan pocketknife is my favorite....(haha, jokin) Excellent points. What time period do these date to?
 

this site has been occupied since the pelican lake , oxbow, duncan hanna times and before
which is at least 6000+ yrs BP
but i think the majority of these artifacts are 500 or less yrs old
and yes the Mandan jack knife is one of the most rare pieces i have ever seen
i have only found one in the last 26 years..and do not know of any others
 

I can see why they are your favorites. They are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
 

Nice ...Quality flint knapping
 

Beautiful artifacts Steve.:icon_thumleft:

That is a fantastic ancient pocket knife steve, I bet the original owner was proud of that one.
 

Extreemly well crafted High Plains Points, and thanks for sharing!
