A buddy of mine found these back in 1969. He went to a cave where OU had completed a dig. They didnt fill in their holes so he crawled in one and took a look around. Something caught his eye and he went to digging and found these four blades, in the wall of the hole, buried together, with about 1/4 of dirt in between them. I have never seen the notching style that was used on the two biggest blades before. The biggest blade was around 14 long. His name was Don Arthurs. Greg Perino was a friend of his and he talked him into selling these four blades to Mr. Gilcrease in Tulsa. They now lay in a drawer, together, in the basement of the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. They were nice enough to open the case for me and let me take these pics. The points were featured in the Central States Arch. Magazine sometime back in 1970. I wish I could find the issue, Id like a copy of it. Has anyone here ever seen anything with a base like these big blades before? Oh, and the selling price was about three hundred dollars, lol....
