Some New additions to the collection

[Mooch]

It has been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd take some pictures of my most recent additions. The Planview was found in Perry Co, Missouri as was the indented base dovetail. The Creek Stained Base Tang was found in Williamson Co, Il about 1955. The Cobden dovetail was found in Jackson Co, IL. The Largest blade measures 9.00 inches long and is 2.00 inches wide. It is made from Kaolin Flint and was found in Union Co, Il near the town of Anna. The next white Stanfield measures 7.5/8 and is from Randoulph Co, IL. The Kaolin blade is from Jackson Co, IL and was pictured in a Central States Journal back in the 1950's. The Miniature Panel bannerstone was found in Fulton Co, Il sometime prior to 1941 near Havana. The pair of Hardstone baners were found together in Trigg Co, Ky. They are pictured in a Central States back in the 87 I believe and David Lutz's Bannerstone Book. The big Hopewell Pendant is from Perry Co, IL Anyway, these are the best pieces that I've came up with in the last 3 months or so. Thanks again, Mooch

Mooch they are are museum quality. I find anything over 3" that's big now days. Nice acquisitions. Are you planning on adding them to your personal collection or will you sell them if the opportunity presents itself? Thanks for showing and glad to see you back posting.
Take care

awesome, are they personal finds or bought pieces?

 

[Mooch]

None of these are personal Finds. I still get a rush tracking down a lead driving hundreds of miles and finding a gem in a collection. I will admit not the same as finding a piece but its still a lot of fun.
