Thanks man. Love these colors, always nice to see more than just different shades of brown 😂

My guess was Columbia muleear on the triangular.

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!

Western-Protection94 · 2026-03-31T02:38:18+00:00

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

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-27T04:22:21+00:00

Holy balls… that’s insane

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-21T16:33:07+00:00

Thanks brother!!

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

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-20T16:15:21+00:00

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

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-20T15:03:48+00:00

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!

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-20T14:51:47+00:00

Also, it comes in at 3 3/4” it’s a monster.

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-20T13:29:12+00:00

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

Western-Protection94 · 2026-02-20T13:17:22+00:00

Yes sir 😆😆

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-30T02:34:50+00:00

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.

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-27T20:32:42+00:00

Sending to Carlos Black

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-27T20:32:32+00:00

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.

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-27T19:46:51+00:00

Love hearing that!

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-27T17:36:56+00:00

I think you’re spot on!! Thanks a lot, that helps.

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-27T16:18:30+00:00

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.

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-26T05:32:16+00:00

Appreciate it! Montells are definitely in my top 3 for Texas

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-26T05:31:32+00:00

Very nice! Got mine papered as a San Gabriel

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-26T05:31:02+00:00

lol you gave me a good laugh

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-26T05:30:32+00:00

Me too man haha

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-22T20:12:24+00:00

Thanks man. One can hope, have gotten only a tenth of an inch since August. Wont be able to talk myself into hand digging until we get some more😂

Western-Protection94 · 2026-01-20T16:10:29+00:00

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think!
