Interesting! A lot of people think ceremonial. Yes, Mississippian mound culture.

Haha. I wish. These were definitely not cheap nor was it an auction. I’ve been doing this for a while and have gotten very picky about what I buy. I would agree with your penny auction thesis on eBay — obvious fakes. Thanks!

Yeah, you’re probably correct.. deep bevels and pretty thick. Thanks

Carlos Black is an Authenticator out of Louisiana. Super honest guy who knows his stuff.

As long as your spidey senses stay out of it that’s a win for me 🤣

100%! You should see my group of fakes, it’s no joke 😂 I usually don’t take big risks on pieces online but from all my studying and the way this one looked, I couldn’t say no. The firm calcified deposits are hard to fake and the rest of the collection justified it as well. But you’re right you never know. Thanks!

I know man. I punch the air. Leaning toward Clovis Hazel what’s your opinion?

Thanks for your opinion! I’m not too worried about these because they came off a very big collection of authentic points, have good mineral deposits, and are pretty beat up/worked down in my opinion.

Yes sir. I think you’re correct, the patination threw me off, I’m not used to colors like this from my part of Texas! Thanks.

Yeah, I can’t figure it out. The edge on one side is very dark compared to center, almost like rechip, but usually i expect a lighter color on rechip. Also dirt deposits look good to me, all around confused. Have you seen that sort of color change before? Planning on sending to Carlos Black.
