My 2 biggest finds to date

Chert finds that is. Found both in the same creek as the Copenas I just posted. I believe these are a Benton Blade and a Benton knife. Past finds

Nice looking pair 👍 good size too. I'm guessing around 4 inches.

Nice finds there, really like the black sheen on the left one.

Those are beauts!!!! Almost looks like a Cobb blade, any beveling on it?

Water polishes most here. The black chert will turn a grey. Thanks only one I’ve yet to find whole.

I know it can look like a Cobbs but no beveled edges at all. We have that one and 3 others. Stanfield, Tennessee River, and Benton Blade. I think the examples of the Benton looks just like it.

I have one I found that someone said was a Cobbs blade found in a different creek but it’s smaller and well used

The Benton looks real close for sure

Very nice I wonder if those big ones are more rare now because they’ve been picked up by other collectors, because they’re easy to see.

It wasn’t easy to see. I’m cleaning it up some and repost it if it comes out better.
