Arrowheads part 2

[cheese]

Ok, here is another drawer of arrowheads. These were also local, from a different field than the first pic was from. I put a penny with them for size comparison. The pic of the first drawer is here http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.p...c,29209.0.html

Hope you like 'em!

Hi cheese!! Great finds. I especially like the one just left and up from the penny! The symetry is great. I've been metal detecting for a few years but my main childhood hobby was running the plowed fields and finding arrowheads myself. I found an 1880 indianhead penny one day while looking for arrowheads as well as some old buttons. I'll try to post some of my finds after I get a decent camera. A good magazine to get is the Central States Archaeological Journal that comes out once a quarter. I'm sure they would love it if you wrote a story and shared some pictures. I've had a couple of articles printed and your finds would easily qualify!

Wow Cheese! Awesome collection!

What is the star looking one in the second picture?

Peter, no Bolen bevels in this one . There is a variety of point styles in this pic. Some Abbeys, a hernando, hardee, pickwick, edgefield scraper, a game piece, marion, newnan, and other point styles. These points range from the late paleo/early archaic transitional period (around 8000 to 9000 years ago) to the late archaic period (around 4000 to 6000 yrs ago). There are a few newer pieces in there too.

Nana, the star shaped piece is a broken drill. Notice one of the "points" on the star is not pointed, it is flat. That is where the drill end was. The extended part is broken off. There is a more complete drill in the same pic. It's the white one that looks like an upside down "T" or "Y" two points up from the penny in the first pic.

Seeker, these are from south Georgia. Some of the same point types can be found in parts of Alabama and Florida, and occasionally a little farther out. Some are pretty much only found near here and farther south in Florida.

FoxRox, I don't mind sharing them, but would a magazine focusing on central states be interested in my southern finds?

Mike, if you ever come to my corner of the world, I'll make sure you find one!

That's some great material you have there! Nice variety of types as well!

[Wetgreenie]

Do I see a couple of drills in there?

First pic just above center (looks like a shark tooth) Thats a nice heavy one.
Then of coarse the Star shaped one in the 2nd pic.
I'm thinking that one was an old "swiss army knife" like mutiple use tool, having up to five points to work with. Very cool stuff.

Yep, 2 drills. Both were hafted drills, which is why you see the other "points" on the star shaped one. The base and tangs or corners make the other 4 points.
