[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9557249, member: 16407"]This is a collection of basalt and obsidian tools. I know that 75 years ago, it was popular to walk along the Columbia and other local rivers and search for stone fishing weights and other artifacts. (Picking them up is today illegal, of course.) I also know that obsidian knapping is popular today and that 'mountain man' rendezvous often feature arrow heads and the like. Does anyone have any info or resources on evaluating age or authenticity on items like these? Thank you.
