I sure hope you can go back and look for more arrowheads.  Great post.  Sorry to ramble!  I thought you might find it interesting because we are fom the same area.  I did check into it, and could only find the Susquehannocks that were living there.  I'm not certain which tribes lived in Baltimore County.  The same Aunt's Mom was quite old, and had stories of Indians "running around", back when her house in Jacksonville, MD was built.  Just some info I find interesting.  Thanks, Steve! P.S.  I heard they used to find arrowheads where Hunt Valley Mall was located.  Pretty interesting, considering it's on Shawan Rd. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyVTdY2BI3g (in reply to Wangan) Post #: 6
