ONE OF THE
LARGEST EXAMPLES KNOWN
Description: Outstanding Example of a Massive
Lost Lake - This Lost Lake is one of the Largest Examples known.
It is not highly unusual to see examples of the Dovetail or Hardin
typologies exceed 7 inches, but for Lost Lakes, it is VERY rare to see
any exceed 5 1/2 inches or so. This Beast measures 6 7/8 inches.
It is VERY thin, with very little secondary flaking. I only know
of ONE that is a 3/16" larger and it is missing a whole ear. This
example MAY BE the largest intact example of the type that there is! The exact
recovery location, I have not been able to trace down, but I have been
able to backtrack it to Paducah, KY in the early 1960's. Sometime
between 1960 and 1962 Boyce Yates traded a coin and stamp collection for
a group of artifacts that were held by Hoskins Coin Shop in Paducah, KY.
He took them back to Mayfield, KY and framed them in Oval, Bubble Glass
frames no later than 1963. ( I confirmed this by the printing on
brown Paper bags for the Youngblood Bros. Stores placed in the back of
the frames for spacing with the Youngblood family of Mayfield. )
These framed artifacts hung in Mr. Yates home from then till March of
2017. From what I can find out, the group of artifacts were sold
or pawned to Hoskins Coin Shop prior to 1962 or so. I fell like
the Lost lake was recovered somewhere within a 50 or so radius of
Paducah, KY. Currently in our personal collection. (published in
the inside cover of Central States, Volume 66, Jan 2019, No. 1 and also
published Sec 6, pg. 367 in the Artifact Gallery of James R. Bennett's
"Avoiding Reproduction & Altered Ancient Indian Arrowheads")
