This local is selling some shell artifacts, small shell hammers at this time. He's been selling various shell and lithic stuff on eBay for a while. I emailed him and he said he was going to sell off more variety of shell stuff but is working on these "Type G Melongena corona shell hammers" at this time. I would have no reservations whatsoever buying from this seller. I was most likely with him when he found these, or they are from my own hunts and he got them from me. I hate to see them go cheap but they might. IMHOP they are worth 10 bucks per piece! And that's cheap. Try to walk up a dozen of this type in these grades in the next 10 years, you can't do it. None of them look badly exhausted and some are grade A for the type. Melongena corona shells, King's Crown conch. Manasota Culture, Pinellas Co, FL Might be THE time to get some nice examples. Me havem plenty, not bidding.
