Hey guys, I was digging a trash pit yesterday at a late colonial, early 1800's site and my first ever point popped out of the ash layer in the pit. The complete post on that hunt is in today's finds here. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...head-1812-navy-button-teacup-shoe-buckle.html
This arrowhead was incredible to find. I thought it was a musket flint at first, which I find in trash pits.... But quickly realized what it was when I wiped the dirt off. I know nothing about these things. Could someone maybe tell me more about it? Do you date them based on style or the material used? It looks like it knapped off in large flakes, so would this be a type of flint?
Thanks in advance
