I found both of these arrowheads last week at two different locations laying on top in the fields.
I don't know squat about arrowheads and was hoping to get a bit of info on them.
Age?
Type?
Thanks for looking,
MM

Thanks for posting these on artifacts Doug. I've been waiting for this post. I too am curious about the large bifuracate base one. That is a nice find.
Left looks Savannah River maybe a hafted scraper. I can't tell if either of these are damaged ? Has the right one been snapped off?
Thanks RD.
I think the smaller one on the right is full, but the larger one I believe has the tip missing.

I'll be watching for an ID.
RPG,
What are you doing over here in the Indian Artifacts section? Are you lost?

The left probably originally had a tip and it was broken the utilized as a scraper. Hard to type the rigtht one since it is so crude. Can we get any more pics of it? Other side or bottom of base.
RD,
Here's a few shots of the top, base, and other side of each.
Thanks,
MM

Its funny RD, thats just what I thought, I have quite a few of those, with the end broke off, they were found with quite a few whole M.Mts too. Here is one on the left..
Modernminer shall I post some of my finds from the same field? give you some idea's of what I found in NC.
Thanks you two.
Any idea how old they may be? I just turned 50, so are they older than me?
