Symmetry

SportsmanAll · Jun 23, 2018

I’m interested in seeing your guy’s really nice artifacts. Symmetry, flake pattern, not even size necessarily. Just your headshakers because of how awesome they are.

Normally, most of what I find are asymmetrical, so this one was a welcome change. Only about half of one notch was showing when I found it. I didn't even know which direction it was pointing in. An insitu pic would've been nice, but in '88, I didn't have a camera. We're blessed to have such technology at our fingertips nowadays.

Here's a few random pictures of some with nice symmetry. Some are personal finds and some are from the States Collection. Pictures 1, 3, and 7 are from the States Collection. The rest are personal finds.

These are a pretty good example of symmetry I think. The one on the left is a nice button base Dovetail. I found it in Pickaway Co. Ohio in the 70's. It is Flintridge or something similar. The middle one I bought off a farmer in Rush Co. Ind. I think it is 100% perfect. The right one I bought off Martin Bauer in Scioto Co. Ohio. He had a ton of artifacts from his farm and began selling a few in his later years.

13.5 lb 3/4 groove maul. Talked a farmer out of it, he was using it for a door stop in his garage. You can see the wear at the groove rim from rolling on the floor
