Thanksgiving Day Find!!!

[digordie]

Anybody know what exactly these tools were used for?

Looks like an adze. A chopping tool

 

[digordie]

Do you know how it would be attached to a handle?

Nice, wish I could have gone out today.

 

[GatorBoy]

Nice find.

 

[digordie]

Sweet thanks for the pic gatorboy. The shape of it makes more sense now.

 

[GatorBoy]

Sure thing.

 

[digordie]

Any monitary value to this piece i found? Just curious.

 

[GatorBoy]

I hate putting a number next to an artifact... even for curiosity. Google.. chipped stone adze,celt,hoe, you're sure to find similar pieces for sale. If I were to take a guess I'd probably say between 60-80 bucks depending on some factors including who's doing the selling. Authentication ...ect.

Oh okay.. thanks!!!

Nice finds there but I dont think that much in $ on that piece. The market is so drab rite now probably half of that. If you can even sell it. Still a nice find!

 

[GatorBoy]

As is maybe. But if the piece is offered for sale with solid Providence and authentication papers from a respected dealer it should sell for well more then half.

And how much does it cost to get papers? At least $20.00 I would guess.

I have never thought about getting papers on anything. I'm still curious about how much authentication of a piece would cost. Does any one know? Not saying the piece above isn't a really nice find, but I can't see it being worth putting money into. I have never flipped through a price guide, however. I'm going strictly on how many of those I find.

 

[GatorBoy]

Rock.. you're a dealer. Ha

 

[rock]

HA?

 

[GatorBoy]

The type of material Will also make a big difference In what you can sell it for.

 

[rock]

Eye Candy is half of it when it comes to dollars

 

[GatorBoy]

I just found it funny That someone who buys and sells artifacts has absolutely no idea what it takes to to have a single piece authenticated. I don't know a single person who would buy an artifact from someone who wasn't a personal friend without even authentication pappers.

It just makes the price higher and the prices are already so low. How can you make a profit? And there are so many who will just sign their name to anything for a buck.
