The points are from Ohio & Kentucky. The big Adena looks like a Florida Newnan & is made from FlintRidge.
The other frame is all from the Hardin farm across the river from Portsmouth, Oh.
That is Grimms neck of the woods. I believe he purchased these from the farmer himself.

Crazy nice pieces! Many types represented - Archaic Bevels, Kirk Cluster, Turkey Tails, MacCorkle et. al. Ironic that there is not a single Hardin in the bunch! Could you ID the pieces in frame b - whelk shells (?) bone needles(?) big gorget (?) discoidal (?) and size. Thanks for the post.

Sweet looking Bone/Shell frame! Some nice Shell for sure!

Thanks for sharing NM!
 

Wow he has a nice site on his farm. Those are not just random items but indicate a habitation site with life and death. I am betting a shell miden site on that farm. Beautiful stuff.
 

The Hardin farm in Ky. is not the same Hardin the famous point is named after. Just the same last name. That frame is Ft. Ancient stuff, Cannel Coal claws and Welk shell mask. He knew the farmer as he lived in the area his entire life till retiring to Florida. He said that farm was amazing with all the items found on it over the decades.
 

The right hand photo...amazing. I want to find things like that lol. I'm so keen on looking small I need to start looking at the big picture. Amazing stuff.

Nice pieces. Does he remember the guy's name by chance? Skip Bower maybe?
