Wow, as a life long collector I am jealous... I am in the southwest and should have found a few Clovis points by now but have not. Mine are all from more recent cultures. One thing I do have I can take pride in is a whole arrow with the shaft, fletching, and sinew bindings all intact. Looks almost new except for the natural patina from aging. Found it buried way back in a dry desert cave. It is Paiute in origin.

The most unusual I have is two "Simpson Mustache" points that are considered to be part of the Dalton culture. Usually only found in the Suwanee river drainage in North Florida and Southern Georgia. They look like this:
