I’d like to see some colors

[CreekSide]

I’ve been fortunate to find some nice colors in the artifacts I find. Of course like anyone else I have some that aren’t colorful. But I’d like to see some of the ones everyone has found maybe your favorite color. All 3 of these were found in the same creek I used to have permission to look in.

Very nice frames Gar. You have an amazing collection

Thanks. On some of these 105degree days, I dig thru old boxes. It's almost as good as going digging but a lot cooler.

Yep

Yep

Any chance of you showing the Flounder both sides up close? I’d like to see it. I walked a field today for 5 hours and didn’t find hardly anything and would enjoy seeing something nice

 

[Garscale]

Ok

I know it’s not but it has a Buck Creek look to it. BC points are found on the other side of the USA from you.

I know you have more of this Fused Glass Steve. Didn't Foggy make a few nice birds from this stuff? Or did those get auctioned off?

I have over 400 ancient points made of mfg. The ones pictured are authentic.

Now, yes Jim made some amazing points for me . Wexauctioned most but i guess I have 20 or so MFG hopper points.

So what kind of material is it and where is it found?

Manning fused glass is a natural glass found only in a small part of East Texas. I am told it formed from a lignite coal fire that may have burned under ground for hundreds of years. The extreme heat melted the loamy clays above it and formed the glass. It can be found in a matrix virtually identical to brick. Scattered in with that are small pieces of high grade blue and red glass.

The material can vary from sky blue to almost black. Almost pink to blood red. These colors intermingle with no seam or separation.

This material is extremely rare. I was fortunate enough to excavate two sites very near exposures. All cultures used it although points are generally small due to most usable examples being under 2 inches.

That’s really neat, I’ve never heard of it!
