wtnhunt Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Found this in the garden tilling between my corn a couple weeks ago. First one we have ever found up here. It is just under 2 inches long, was thinking it was either an arrowhead or a spear tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? Dude, It has been a while since the season ended, hasn't it? That's a piece of advantage timber camo! Wow, that's really cool. I wish that I could find some of those! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? Too big for an arrowhead and too small for a spear. It was probably either a blade or an atlatl (dart) point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? Man, I love hunting arrowheads. There are a lot to be found in NC around the triad area, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill. Found quite a few at my wife's grandparents farm just outside of Raleigh. Great Find!

Tominator Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? Yep, sure looks like one William. I found yet another one yesterday. This one doesn't look nearly as good as the one I posted a week ago or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? I remember hunting for them as a kid on the banks of the river here. I have quite a big collection of them stashed away somewhere in the attic along with a clay pipe and some clay bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? Cool! It could also be for fleshing out hides, or some other sort of scraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Arrowhead? True arrowheads are almost never over 1.5 inches long. Plus, the Indians only used the bow and arrow for the past 1000 years or so. For the first 10,000 years that they were in North America, they used spears and atlatls so there are many more of those types of points around than the so called "bird points". BTW - For those who have collections. Do you know that those artifacts may be worth anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars each to as much as a thousand dollars each? Some of the really old stuff that is perfectly intact and high quality workmanship fetches some big bucks at trade shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple offers on mine over the years. I just was young at the time and didn't want to part with them because they were my 'treasures'. Still have them, just stored them away so they were not out where someone in the house can break them. I found almost all mine on a restricted property area that I had permission to arrowhead hunt on when younger. They were found along the Susquehanna River. Some are pretty neat looking.
