Collecting American Indian Artifacts has been a lifelong hobby for me, finding my first arrowhead at age 8. I'm now retired and it's time to pass this hobby on to other folks with the same interest. My collection is composed of pieces I found myself over the years, along with pieces that I've bought, many of them right here on EBay. I've ended up with a lot of good points, but occasionally I've received either reworked authentic points or even more rarely an out and o...ut fake. In my listings, I will explicitly identify to you those points that I suspect may have been altered or modernly reproduced. Up for sale is an early Archaic (9, 500 to 8, 000 years old) corner notch, with centering bottom notch St. Charles Dovetail Knife, from the Midwest, probably Illinois or Missouri, and is X-M. Wienand and X-Tom Eddy, as it has been in my collection for several years. It is 3-1/8" long X 1-1/4" wide and has signs of heavy use, with partial use dulling of the blade edges. It also has a ground and notched base. Made from a light tan Burlington or Chert, it exhibits heavy Iron ground deposits on both sides. It is a symmetrically, expertly made and gorgeous point, with weathering. It would make a great authentic addition to any authentic Midwest collection!
