Little back story first.
This is a farm that sits on a high bluff about 3/4 of a mile from the Ohio River. You would never know its there from the road below. I found out from my sisters ex husband who knew the farmer and got me permission to hunt there. I hunted it twice, found 14 the first trip and 12 the second and he told me I was finding to many and not to come back. Serious. This was in the late 80's.
So, fast forward to about three weeks ago and in walks the farmer to my place of work and wants to know if I'd like to buy what he had found over the years. I asked his price and he said $400 and I told him they weren't worth that much and offered $150. He said $300 was the lowest and I told him I'd pass. Today I go the local flea market and he's there and has the tray. I asked what he was asking now and he said he had shown it around and everyone agreed with me and he said I could have it for $200 if I still wanted it. Since its local and a place I have already hunted I went ahead a bought them. Now I just have to find my records and get the other pieces out to add to it.
The first picture is how I bought them. The others are how I trayed them.
Nothing spectacular, but a few solid pieces. For size reference the Cache Blade is 3 1/2 inches long. The Flake Blade is 4 inches.
