We have flint like that here in Ohio too. Check with a local college, they could probably help you with authinticity.

NORG, I found this head, they call a Perkiomen broadhead, last spring. Instead of planting corn again they grassed it over. I also think they sold the land. Talk about one last lucky find! It's fun to see all these arrowheads and artifacts other people are finding. Talk about some nice pieces. It must be fun finding artifacts in your own garden!

Hey Justglass, I didn't say I had more important things to do, I said I have things I have to get done. Besides I'm your older brother and I'm supposed to be setting an example for you, (work than play). That nice Otter creek head you found was meant for you whether it had my name on it or not. See you later. There's still a lot more heads to be found!ORIGINAL: JustGlass
I was supose to go arrowheading with GlassKeeper, and he called to say he had more important things to do....rake branches that had fallen on his lawn...GlassKeeper ya got your priorities all wrong. Just to rub it in a bit heres a old otter creek spear point I found that had your name on it...I will post the other artifacts I found at another time.

Just got word today that some of the petrified wood I found will make its way into OSU Geology Museum. Apparently the age of 65 million years that I guessed was a little off, it's actually closer to 350 million years. WOW! Not only was I the first human to touch it, but when it was a tree, humans didn't even exist. The guy told me that when the trees were growing, Ohio was somewhere near the equator, and somewhat of an oceanfront area. CRAZY

I've always wanted to find something museum worthy since I was about 8. It's just cool that I found enough of it for me and them, plus having my name attached lets anyone who sees it know that a Guisinger contributed a little something to society. I'm happy with that. I guess petrified wood in Ohio is pretty rare, especially in a concentrated area.
