House sat for a friend today while he and his family attended his mother's funeral. He has basically looked after her single-handedly for about five years now and it has taken its toll on him. In order to give him some peace of mind against some opportunistic SOB breaking in while he buried his mama, I hung around his place in the meantime. I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to make a career out of house sitting. Finished a book, paced the floors, and this was after I looked at all his arrowheads and bottles (which I've seen countless times in the 30 years we've known each other) and the time does pass way too slowly. Anyway, here's a few pics of his collection, all personal finds...
Some fine Savannah Rivers here.
As nice a Morrow Mountain as I've seen. He found it in the root ball of a big tree that had blown over.
We looked a field that hadn't been worked in years but this time, they bottom plowed it deep. He found the cache of 5 blades (possibly Stanfields) that day. We've often wondered how many more might've remained hidden in that spot.
A few more frames.
I always enjoy going through the brokes. The ones across the top were in there, too. He found the little Clovis the same day he found the cache. Small and damaged, but still impressive and one you wish could talk. A couple of Daltons on either end, what appears to be a Hardin, an unfluted Clovis, and fourth from the left, not ground but possibly just never finished, unifaced and incredibly thin.
Unusually long Big Sandy(?) reworked into a scraper.
Nice Abbey and a killer Gilchrist.
I have a picture somewhere of some of the points he parted with during the lean years. I'll see if I can find it and post it later. Most importantly, I'm grateful for a friend that would trust me look after his place while he was away.
Later on.

His collection is absolutely amazing! Looking at it reminded me of Americus' finds, always so beautiful and even the brokes are super sweet. Thank you for sharing it with us, I really enjoyed looking it all over.
