I found an arrowhead
I got a load of dirt to fill holes in my back yard. While unloading it I found an arrowhead.

My field is full of them. I'm a few miles from what is known as "The Hardaway Site" near the Yadkin River. It must have been the "Springfield Armory" of its day, judging by the quantity of arrowheads and other stone tools still there. They traded them with other injuns I'm sure. Your arrowhead looks almost perfect! Good find!

Do you think your kids dropped it where when they were little? Or do you think it was there for a long time?

Once in a while construction guys around here dig up Injun bones. That is a mess. Various tribes claim them but there is no proof. Some of the bones pre-date the existence of modern tribes. The State of Utah has an underground vault with shelves from Home Depot where they store most of them. That way the state can claim the remains were "reinterred", but archeologists can sneak down into the vault and take a look. Ssssssh. That is a secret.

Cool find. When my mom was alive she and I would hunt arrowheads together a lot. She would go out after every rain and look for them. Haven't been out looking for them in a while. There are boxes of artifacts that we found that one day I will sort and catalogue. We found a lot of different things. The kids find arrowhead pieces and pottery shards all the time. Most of the arrowheads found around here are made of black obsidian.
This axe is the coolest thing I've found in years. Picked it up a few years ago when I was looking for deer sheds. The little pistol is just for size comparison. |

Nice find Pogo.
Here in north central Florida we have many remnants of the Timucua Indians. My home A.O. was called the great swamp used for keeping game and food sources. https://www.losttribesflorida.com/timucua.html A lot of relics were dug up during development of the area and shell burial mounds can still be seen all over the area here. Silver Glen recreational area pulled into from Lake George just north of me here has bunches and bunches of broken pottery pieces. The Timucua died off from disease as the Spanish explorers came and were replaced a few hundred years ago by the Seminoles.
