Real arrowhead???

Sorry, but that's just junk knocked out to sell to unknowing folks. Real arrow points look like this.

That is indeed a real beauty . I have a few points put away somewhere around here , but none of them are what you can call beauties , they are authentic though .

It's new. It lacks the finished quality of a true artifact. Now, there are professional knappers out there that can make one's as good and better than historical points, but they make their points from good obsidian and like minerals. But there are also mass produced ones that are for tourists made out of the Philippines and other places. This is one of those.

Most of them don't look like that! Boy, is that pretty - I love the backdrop!

So it is nothing new, I haven't kept up my study of arrowheads though the battle of Redl Jacket and Sullivans Army took place about 1/4 mile from my NY home and my Grandfather lived next to it and collected a hundred or so arrow heads while working in his vineyard. I never did know who ended up with his arrow heads - it wasn't me.

I know individuals in my area who possess fairly large collections of beautiful points found through out my area where I live . Some of them have collected as long thirty years or so . Today there is so much no till farming where I live that hunting Indian artifacts has dropped off tremendously .

This looks like a new knapped point.

OK, so I visited my dad today and since this post was fresh in my mind, I took some pictures of my mom's bowl of goodies. These were given to her by Eva Yohe, who died in 1986. I think she was 91 when she died. I think most of these were found by her husband Russell, when he worked in the fields when he was young. Their farm is near where a lot of arrowheads used to be found. So - these points were actually FOUND around 100 years ago... maybe more, as I don't know if all these were actually found by Russell, or if they just were all in the family & he ended up with them. I do know that Russell was not a farmer. He became a school teacher, as did Eva.

THe flip side of the red one pointing down still has a lot of dirt on it. I will be washing it on a future visit.
