The HALL LOST LAKE

Below is the fabulous Lost Lake found by Jere Hall in Caldwell Co. Kentucky. This piece is made from Indiana Hornstone and has had one resharpening according to most experts. Believed by many in the collecting arena to be one of the best of its type at this stage!!!!!! There may be some better but they are probably still in the ground!!!!!

Kirks found in Lyon Co. Kentucky on the Cumberland River.

Concave Hump Back Hardstone

Clovis Point

These are the rare Concave type hardstone banners that were found in 1987 in Trigg Co. KY. They were found about 15 minutes apart from the same site. I like to refer to them as the Forsythe-Mize Cache since my friend Leon found two Bottle types made of red claystone on the site also. Also note that one of the banners has a "V" flaw running through the rock. This is a natural flaw, not a break.

I found this piece near Carthage Indiana in 1971. I traded this point to Bob Knowlton for a Thebes point.

Lost Lake Point

This would have been a "killer" point. Part of the left blade, tang and small portion of the base has been restored. Found by Larry Ruble in Crittenden Co. Kentucky. Now in my collection.
