My Etley/Mehlville Fake :(

A few years back I bought a really nice Angostura for $50.00 not long after that I decided I would see what I could get out of it so I sent it off to dealer I contacted on arrowheads.com by the name of Karl K. (Killgus?) He then sent it to A Respected Authenticator (think it was Dwain Rogers) it was good so I ended up getting $300.00 money order so I was more than pleased and thought I would give it a shot a few more times though I didnt know I didnt know a thing about what to look for and what to avoid. I think I have ended up with a good amount of stuff that well bothers me to look at now. The bad thing is its not modern flint knapping that makes buying authentic artifacts difficuld its all the fake stories and supposed find locations some people include with the items for sale or auction so I have learned its just plain dishonesty that sells Fake points (points made to look old) might as well just Hunt and or buy modern knappings (if you like them) knowing what your buying. Just my opinion and I know many authentic artifacts are out there but bad purchase after bad purchase (my judgement) convinced me not to look for good deals any time soon. Here are some pics of the fake that I am not going to smash though brandishing of Hammers are more than Welcome.

So I paid 5 bucks for verbal yay or nay on it and decided not to spend more money finding out some others I bought arent good either and before I left the collinsville show I went to another room because I was interested in buying a "Reproduction" I couldnt leave the show with an Authentic Scottsbluff so I figured maybe I could get a new one and I found a $10.00 an inch box in there and only found 2 scottys, one too long and didnt really like something about the other lol anyway always wanted a real,cast or even reproduction Cahokia they are one of my favorite types but all I have found similar hunting are Madisons so I found a 2 in. Cahokia made of a Texas flint that I thought was a nice "replica" and after paying he asked if I wanted him to sign it and I figured sure why not?
