Does anyone know an artifact buyer?

I have a decent size arrowhead collection with some very fine specimens. I found every one via surface hunting and can identify where found. Most found over 20 years ago.

I am selling most of my few possessions. My artifact collection has been in a box for 3 years so it is not something I am able to enjoy or use ...so it's gonna be sold. 😏😐

I am in Seattle but internet and phones make stuff much easier. Also, will be traveling to Midwest soon so could possibly meet in western half of country...

I'm motivated but not stupid or desperate.

usually in the spring after plowing a field (we did that the very old fashioned way with a horse drawn plow, where I got to guide the plow). Anyway, I had a decent collection including 1 axe blade... and I think my mother donated them to the local historical society.

How much are you looking to get for them?

Sorry you lost yours. I spent many hot days in rubber boots slogging through mud after those spring rains and plowing!

Re: $ ? Hundreds if not thousands in total. The very fine specimens quantity is around 20. I've been to sales and they go in the hundreds usually.

An auction is last resort so not expecting to fetch all that a bidding war could. Would have to unpack and quantify. Should begin this I guess.

Thanks for your reply, friend.
