            This is it my luck was getting this much on . There are so many polished lithics to go with it . Johnny knows I love those blue cherts and you only see navy chips where I am at .
            Dont forget the awesome book on Swiftcreek pottery . Reading this from cover to cover . This will reallly give me
            a better clue what I am finding and the people that made it .

                    You’re very welcome Josh. These were some of the best written I have read. The Custer one is hard to put down. I’m glad you like them.

                  That’s the perfect gift for you . Your like a Wikipedia and always studying . I remember one post you made about you know your an arrowhead hunter when your GD asks you what’s are you doing . It was some long answer about the
                  type and knaping I can’t do it .

                      I glad you like them, Red. They're all from cape county, in SE Missouri. Idk what the lithic is on the top right but it is neat. That ovoid blade/scraper might be my favorite. It has some nice use wear on the blade edges. That Red one is really nicely made. Merry Christmas!

                      My pics don't do the red one justice...sweet flaking. And the little beefy one upper right i think has beveled edges. Yes that big blade is cool thanks again man I

                      Yeah, that beefy one does have beveled edges. That smallest one is some of our local quartzite. You're welcome again.
