A Brief History on the Eccentric~
In the summer of 1921, Mack Tussinger, a Wyandotte Indian, claimed to have uncovered a cache of approximately 3,500 perfect and some imperfect intricately notched flint specimens. The cache was in a mound at the northern part of Delaware County, Oklahoma on the north side of the Elk River.  Tussigner claimed to have sorted the specimens according to size and re-burried them in his yard.  During the next few years about 800 of the smaller ones were sold to Dr. W.C.
Barnard, a collector in Seneca, Missouri.  Some were also sold by Tussinger to Tom Fleetwood of Wyandotte, Oklahoma. Many others were later sold along Route 66 to wealthy tourists.
The Mack Tussinger eccentrics were controversial from the beginning. Some people still believe they were made prehistorically by a late Stone Age culture. But most professional archaeologists and flintknappers consider them to be recently made, most likely by Tussinger himself, and not the product of an ancient culture
