Hi, I have absolutely no knowledge on or experience with collecting Native American artifacts but I recently inherited a decent size collection of items from my mother. They were her late husband's collection from the 1950's-1970's that had been sitting in a box in her attic untouched for probably the last 40+ years. Best she remembers the items were collected mainly in Georgia but also in South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc from his childhood to his 30's.
The collection is probably 100-150 arrowheads of all sizes with a few very large ones, an axe head, some small white balls?, multiple grinding stones?, etc.
I honestly have no idea what I might have or what to do with them. I would love to find out more information about them and what if any worth they might have. Not necessarily looking to sell them but might be interested in parting with a few pieces.
Can anyone direct me where and how to start finding out more about them? I did contact someone from my state's archeological society who give me the contact information of a local buyer/seller dealer in my area of GA but I haven't heard anything back yet from him.
Any advice or guidance on what possible next steps to take would be greatly appreciated. Photo of a sample of some of the items attached.
Thank you,
Matt
