Special Thanks
The best online museum for lithic collecting
We would like to thank all of the following people for allowing us to purchase their collection of artifacts. Now we can share them
all around the world with those who also have the interest that either they or their loved ones had in artifacts.
We were able to purchase
the Ron Poore Collection in 2007. We would like to give special thanks to him for all the time he spent with us and in hunting artifacts
for over 30 years. He did a fine job in cataloging his collection. - His collection consisted of a wide variety of points all found
along the Mississippi River areas of Calhoun and Pike County in Illinois and Pike and Lincoln Counties in Missouri. These 4 counties
were only divided by the river. Ron collected during the late 1950's and 1960's. We were able to display part of the collection
at the Owensboro, Ky. Show in August of 2007.
In 2007 we were also able to purchase the Tom & Rolene Brumley Collection of
Texas Artifacts - These artifacts were collected by Rolene, her sister and mother back near the lake and along the river near where
they lived. They had also collected while living in California by Rolene, her sister and mother while living near Buena Vista and
Taft, California in the 1970's when the area had some flooding after being in a drought for sometime and we have on display part of
that collection also. Tom & Rolene have even been so kind as to donate their library of books about artifacts to the museum to
expand our knowledge so that we can share it with others.
