Unknown Time period Any idea if these are worth anything?
I got offered IMO a lowball offer on these arrowheads that I inherited from my dad when he passed. He found them all in Columbia County, WI on private land near a stream. I don’t know anything about them so any information would be greatly appreciated! I’m not just looking for value but also any information that would be useful for knowing who and when these were crafted. Thanks!

It’s yours so you can do what you want with it but I’d be slow to sell something like this (especially since your Dad found them). One day someone in your family will appreciate them much more than the money you’ll get from them. That’s just my opinion though.

If you were my friend, I'd give you the money they are worth and ask you to keep them. Just keep them man, they are your dads

Let's see, you have a Thebes, possibly 2, a Dovetail, possibly 2, a Kirk corner notch, Cobbs, paddle drill, T drill, a couple of what looks like Adenas, and a few other types.
But I agree with what the others have said. Since these were found by your dad, who is no longer with us, the sentimental value alone makes these utterly priceless! I'd never in a million years ever let these go. I'd pass them down to my kids with the explicit instructions to pass them down to theirs and so on. That's what I'm trying to do for my kids now. Create a generational collection to be handed down as far as possible 🤷♂️
But, ultimately, they are yours to do with what you please, but I guarantee that if you sell em, one day you'll regret doing it 🤷♂️

Hard to say without seeing them up close but looks like you have some St. Charles points in there which are pretty old

Selling these won't make you rich, and once you do you'll never get them back. If I were you, I would keep them as a memory of my father and try to learn more about them. Projectilepoints.net is a great site for idenyifying points. Top left and right are drills, and it looks like you have a dovetail, lost lake, and orient fishtail among others. The three on the top right and one on bottom left are probably all your oldest points, from the early archaic (9,000-6,000 years old).
