These blades were found together as a cache on a small bluff above a creek in southern Illinois.

A few of the blades are made from Cobden and the others are made from hornstone. These were found just South of me one county and its not uncommon to see blades made from both materials in the same cache. We got a 5-gallon bucket of these blades from one cache somewhere.

I'd like to see those blades if you get a chance to photo them. Appreciate the help and replies fellas.
