In the early 1960's
at my Grandma's home in Southern Virginia, I found my first arrowhead. My Dad, Luther, was then an active member
of the Maryland Archaelogical Society and I learned early in life the joy of finding artifacts in the plowed fields of Maryland,
Virginia, and North Carolina. My interest in restoring artifacts began over
30 years ago after finding so many beautiful broken points. I've developed my own techniques and mixtures of real
stone that are carefully applied to the broken sections with no damage to the ancient artifact. I then carefully
match the flaking patterns and colors of the original stone, in order to blend with the patina. It has
NEVER been my intention to pass off a restored artifact as whole. Therefore, I developed a Certificate of Restoration
with before and after images of each artifact. A restored artifact can never match the importance or value of a
complete relic, but it's a great way to obtain rare displayable artifacts for a fraction of the cost.

Below are a few examples of my completed restorations. I enjoy restoring fine works of ancient art like these,
art with a true function. Please contact me if I can bring one back for you.
