RE: Arrowhead - 7/5/2006 10:26:40 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline I found a rounded rock at the same creek that I found my arrowhead.  I have seen similar rounded rocks refered to as "game balls", "pottery balls", and "war clubs". Is this rock any of the above, or is this just a case of a hopeful rookie finding an eroded rock? Attachment (1) (in reply to phillyfrank1) Post #: 23

RE: Arrowhead - 7/6/2006 12:05:51 AM    FIGGINS DIGGINS Posts: 318 Joined: 5/27/2006 Status: offline That one would really be a tough call unless you picked it up right on top of a site. It could easily go either way. A keeper in my book nonetheless. Did you see the points that Brian S. posted? That one on the left looks like a good prospect for an actual projectile point. The knife blades were usually thicker with sturdier bases for hafting like the two on the far right. Those two are really good examples of blades, one which has been sharpened to exhaustion and the other which with a few more sharpenings would have looked almost identical to it.Vice-versa the shorter blade was probably almost identical to the longer of the two a few sharpenings ago.Same base and everything. All nice archaic finds. Ya'll are making me want to go do some rock-hunting.lol. Thanks for sharing them!!! _____________________________ Dan The only thing better than the broken glass and dirt going down the back of your pants is that bottle you're about to uncover.

RE: Arrowhead - 7/8/2006 11:49:27 AM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Hey Brian and Road Dog those are very nice points! I'm a little jealous. MadMan, I used to live in Knoxville and they have a great bottle community. There are a whole lot of diggers, and they have a good show each June.  I can't imagine anyone not liking Knoxville. My friend and I have located a freshly plowed field next to a river out here in Middle Tennessee.  We will be going there tomorrow to see what we can find.  If I find anything of interest I'll be sure to post it. -Matt (in reply to BRIAN S.)

RE: Arrowhead - 7/8/2006 12:25:17 PM    BRIAN S.   Posts: 1471 Joined: 5/27/2003 From: The Mountains of Tennessee Status: offline Hi Matt ! I'd say you will find some good stuff in the fields . I found over 700 points in the same fields in White County , TN. over a 3 year period. And a large chest type cooler full of broken points. I haven't been back to them in about 10 years. I may have to go have another look as you guys have sparked my interests again. Good luck ! P.S. They didnt have a Knoxville Show this year ..... because of the high cost of the facility rental . :o( < Message edited by BRIAN S. -- 7/8/2006 12:26:51 PM > _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !
