Dear Bob, What Texas flint artifact do you think has the most value by the inch? C. Smith Gardendale, TX
Hi CS, and thank you for a great question. If you consider the amount of high grade points found of a type vs the amount of common or low grades found of a type then probably the West Texas First View would be my first choice, followed closely by the West Texas Folsom. Third I would probably choose the East Texas Scottsbluff. Some might think the Clovis but I see way to many low or common grades compared to my top three I have chosen. AHBob
