redkneck Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I've been picking them up for years. Nice tallahatta quartzite that is unique to this area. Used to go out and spend all day walking the creeks, or digging, but not so much anymore. Last time I went to my honeyhole though I had my best day ever. I'll post some pics if i have time.

Tominator Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Not intentionally, but over the years I've found 4 or 5. We have a huge vein of flint about 20 miles from here. Place called flint ridge. http://ohsweb.ohiohistory.org/places/c01/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Have not really gone looking searching just for heads. Have found a spear tip and other tools like scrapers. Found three last year in the garden http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73404. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Y'all do know that some of these pieces may be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on age and condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Y'all do know that some of these pieces may be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on age and condition?

redkneck Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Now that's funny Luke. Here's what I came up with on my last trip to the creek. Neat top of a vase that had a hole in it to hang from a rope, or so i would imagine. I pick up lots of pieces with zigzag designs or fingernail impressions in them.

redkneck Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 All but one are Tallahatta Quartzite, which only is found around this area. This one point has a disproportionate base showing that it was resharpened at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I love looking for arrowheads. I have about a half dozen I found while in West Texas last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 They're everywhere if you just keep looking down. I'll post some of my nicer things but they currently reside in boxes in the bottom of my man closet, (more like man hole, lol). One of them closets if i open the door i have to make sure i dont get an avalanche of ammo and guns on top of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ive got a buddy who loves looking for them.... I think hes found a few worth some $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've never personally went looking for them, but when my Mom and Dad were younger..... they would go on hunts for them together and find lots of them! There is a box of them somewhere in this house and if I manage to find it I will be sure to take some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
