racinfool40 202 #2 Posted December 17, 2011 Cool Finds Marshall!!!!! You mean you do more than Round hoods and consume beverages!!! Thanks for the pics!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #3 Posted December 17, 2011 Those arrow heads are pretty cool Indy, I especially like the colors in that first image. As a digger for a living, I've found a bunch of interesting artifacts over the years as well, but IMHO, the most intriguing are always the ones you just walk up on while out for a stroll. These two images are the obverse sides of the same arrow head. Found in Pennsylvania at my parents place, laying on the surface of a freshly tilled field just waiting to be rediscovered.

horsefeathers 15 #10 Posted December 19, 2011 Indy , Careful you'll poke yer eye out!! I walk my dog every day and keep lookin' but never find anything ! An old friend has been doing this for years..he found 9 points last spring in the same field I walk!?? I must be doing something wrong!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #11 Posted December 19, 2011 I always keep my eye on the ground too hopeing to find one. You'd think moveing dirt at work I'd stumble across one. On a side note there is a guy in town that is pretty good at finding arrow heads, he's pretty quiet about where he finds them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #12 Posted December 19, 2011 When I was a kid I was sitting on the sandy shore of a small island on lake Candlewood here in CT. It is the largest man made lake in CT. Back in the late 20's CT Light and Power (Power company) started to flood the valley from the Housatonic River. Anyhow I was sitting on the shore and digging with my hands and found a near perfect indian arrowhead. Really cool find since I was not really looking for anything....

stevasaurus 22,234 #13 Posted December 19, 2011 Here are the pictures I got to take of some of Indy's collection. I will let him answer any questions you guys have...he knows which tribes and other things about them...some of them are tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #14 Posted December 19, 2011 Man, what a collection. Is there a specific site where one goes to research found points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy w h 4 #15 Posted December 19, 2011 Yes Craig there is a site WWW.collectorbooks.com I've been doing this since I was 8 years old The old timer that taught me about the Indian ways was extremely helpful to me on identifying the points ,tools , and drills we found in his fields. If anybody wants to come on out and do some walkin & talkin I'd be glad to take you out and see if we can find a few !! Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
