Re: REALLY BIG FLINT DISPLAY

my goodness Hal! Some of those points could be passed as texas points

Re: REALLY BIG FLINT DISPLAY

were those three bucks a pop? I dont lie to buy more of a seeker, but i could do some awesome wall art with those

Re: REALLY BIG FLINT DISPLAY

Though i almost went in with my boss on a huge collection a man had in fredricksburg. He had his kids and they were saying it was an old scientist collection. Lots of neat beads and axes ive never seen im glad i didnt have a lot of cash on me. It would have been fun explaining to my wife why i split a three thousand dollar case of artifacts. Dogghouse for sure.

Re: REALLY BIG FLINT DISPLAY

Wow think about how many hours of digging are in those buckets. Im with you snoop Im more of a digger than a buyer and yeah a lot of em do look like Texas points.

BS

It's my understanding white Bwannas visit villages in arid / desert areas of NW Africa and put the word out
to pay a few cents for every point the inhabitants can find. No digging all surface.

Neat pictorial designs are probably the main end use of this many small multicolored points.

It's been over 5 yrs since these items arrived on the international market, and most assuredly came from Africa..but NeoLithic or like some Texas Ebay "finds"

One of the vendors of the African points was at the Collinsville flint show, still thousands of points to choose from
