I was able to attend the show in Mt. Pleasant, IA this morning. Quite a few exhibitors, but fewer than in 2024, IMO. I talked to some great folks and told them about the TreasureNet site.
Here’s some of what I saw.

Massive, grooved head. Found in Louisa County, Iowa in 1958.

I was impressed with The continuity of size, material and workmanship on
these.

Great assortment in this frame: various styles, materials & purposes.

Any one of these finds would make my day!

A nice frame of various hafted points.

A nice frame of blades.

My biggest take-away from the event:
The exhibitors I saw were good representatives of the hobby.
The ancient people were spoke of with respect. The artifacts were true treasures to those who possessed them. A lady spoke to me about bead work and had an incredible collection of beadwork from 1800s.
I hope you enjoy the photos. 👍🏼
