I ran across your thread today and the pics of your very, very nice collection. Your pictures took me back some 55 years into my past as a young boy of 8 years old walking the plowed cornfields after a good rain along Indian Creek in south central Indiana. Several of your points look nearly identical to some found by that barefoot boy walking those muddy fields long ago. You are most certainly very proud of your father, grandpa, and the heritage of this wonderful collection that you have built upon. Thank you so much for sharing.

Incidentally, here is an article that speaks of the mid-era woodlands indians of north Georgia trading for obsidian as early as 500 BC. That is a very old and exquisite artifact you have there, as are many of your other pieces.

Hi there

Amazing finds.

Excellant

Many have asked for pictures. It has taken me a while to take some, but since I am home alone today and nobody can gripe about what's on the table....

A priceless collection. Superb.

Rory, I have about five metal pieces TOTAL in the collection. The green one is actually a dark grey. It is obsidian which is volcanic glass. It just looked green when held up to the light.

That is a truly marvelous collection. I am in awe sir. This thread is definitely worthy of its place in the "Best Of" forum.

I know someone mentioned loaning them out to be displayed, but if I were you I would try to open up my own museum!

I don't doubt your story about the North Georgia obsidian Clovis. Northeast Georgia seems to mainly be quartz, also a little flint, but a friend of mine has found some points made of non-native stone over in Ball Ground GA.

Again, outstanding collection. You should do like Ralph Foster at The School of The Ozarks.
