I came across this collection when a family member died. I believe most pieces were collected in the Lake Whitney area. What have I got here? Any and all information would be appreciated. Does the collection have any value? I don't see a way to attach pictures to this post. I will gladly send out pictures if anyone would like to help me. My email address is abenton@wacoisd.org. Thanks for any help.
look at the post about posting pics at the top, easy photobucket directions for posting pics. Get a photo bucket account and go from there.
I am the one you sent your pics to this morning Adam.
Glad to see you want to post them here for help. There are a bunch of people here with alot more knowledge than me who will help you out.

Adam, I'll take a shot at directly addressing your questions;;;
I'd say it's an excellent collection of someone that found them surfacing ( not digging ) Probably would have a very high value to the finder of each piece.
BUT $ value would be very low, a big part of the serious flint collectors emphasis is an absolute nut case need for 101% undamaged pieces.
Your best bet to actually get a dollar value and / or sell them is to take them to the big Temple flint show this June, Just walk around and ask various dealers their opinion / offer
You might just windup adding a few finds of your own
