  Wish I knew the story behind each point and the hands that wove the basket...

Zuma. The basket was included in the deal when I bought the points and would be fairly recently made. Points were still dirty and dusty from when they were originally found and put away - they had never been cleaned. I took them outside, placed them on some screen and rinsed them off, then brought them inside and cleaned about half of them in soap and water with a toothbrush. There are many bifurcated points in there also, most missing tips. BTW, the couple had asked ten dollars for the lot. I countered with five and we settled on six. Rick B

bjrogg:
Glad you got them Rick. I'm thinking their in a better place now.

Parnell:
That's really cool.  I'd lay them all out in a big display on the wall.

Pat B:
That was a great score. Lots of history there.
 Where in SC were they found? Most of my artifact collection cane fro coastal SC near Hilton Head. There is no natural stone in that part of SC so every rock we found was an artifact of some sort.
