Some very nice finds Thanks for sharing with us. Some say there is ways from telling old ones from the ones that are made now. Do you have any ideas on how to tell ?

If you look at the point under magnification it becomes very obvious. Under a stereo microscope, an old point will have a dozen different types of mineral deposits. A newly made point will have none. A new point with a fake patina might have one fresh deposit but it’s impossible to put the kind of deposits found on old real points.

Are you calling the one a dalton or something else?

Real nice finds. Is # 8 a Thonotosassa? If so, was it a West Florida find? They are one of my favorite types.

If you're talking about #3 I think it's a Dalton.
