This is interesting but I have never seen anyone so unorganized with the labeling of their videos. It is almost like he went out of his way to label every vidoe so that you could not follow the series.

lol, sorry, I made these hastily a long time ago. I had no idea they would get thousands of views. I guess I should make some playlists on the series.

WOW, Back when I was actively surface hunting on the terraces of the Iowa River in Marshall & Hardin County IA, I'd find those same exact knives almost every time I went out. Same exact craftsmanship, same exact material! You could lay this item in with the finished products I've found in the past and you'd not be able to guess it was not from that area. The material that was used to make the stuff I found had to be what you refer to as Burlington Chert.

Do you have any pictures of the artifacts you found? They sound interesting.

lol, np, I like the videos I just have a hard time trying to figure out which parts go together

I have not found the blade I was talking about, but when I do, I'll take photos and send to you. In the meanwhile I'll need your email address because I'm not sure how to send a photo on this web site. Bob.

O Marty, your my hero! Why can't you do it like everyone else? Yer da man! We miss ya on the east coast buddy! Take care, Mark B.

I do, buy they are in a showcase with a glass top that has to be removed in order to get at the contents. Will try to shoot pic through side glass in the next day or so. Bob.
