Heartbreak Showcase

[Brian]

I was putting up pieces in the organizer when I saw her again inch: I found her last summer in Sequoya Co. OK. Made of grey Boone chert. Every time I pull her out I remember how I felt. I just wanted someone to console me. Looking at it again today I came up with a suggestion for the site. Maybe these crippled beauties can have a spotlight for a min. here :kiss:





Maybe have a Heartbreaker of the month contest where members can vote. That would help heal the pain I think.

I have a few I am sick over! Here is one.

Here is a couple more.

[Brian]

I feel your pain. I could show off several dozen that would be contenders for my suggestion. I don't want clutter the forums with heart breaks and I feel that The almost museum quality ones could be still admired. What do you think about it?

[Hoss]

I agree that first point I posted is one of my all time favorite finds. Yes broken but still admired.

Brian I have always seen anciently broken points in an entirely different way than "heartbreakers". The Indians made those things to be used. A broken personal find always has an interesting story to tell and that is why they are an imporant part of a collection.
It also makes the intact and really well made beautiful ones we have found or will find, so much more precious to us. In other words it's all good!

agreed    I am thankful for every base, chip or tip I find         but   have to admit     some of those hurt worse than others  :dry:

  a couple   let downs         the one looked to be a corner tang knife   with   no tang and no tip     
other is   trans-paleo looking

This Friday in my collection was dug by Bill Arnould and part of a cache of 6. He hit this one with a pick and shattered the edge off, now that is a heart breaker. Made of Blue Georgetown flint.

Bill,
Thanks for the perspective that you gave. I guess the road runner wouldn't be the same without the coyote right?
Jack that Friday is exactly what I'm referring to here. I think a place to tell that tell and show that piece would be beneficial.

The fluted top center piece was hit by a "ditch witch" i was running. The base half remained intact but the tip half went into about 12 different pieces. DANG the bad luck right!!!
