Found My First Native American Artifact - Arrowhead!

[VTColonialDigger]

Spied this yesterday while doing some detecting in a field that still had a lot exposed dirt. Unfortunately somewhere along this point's history it was broken, but I'm still very happy with it.





I believe this point to made out of chert.

Native American artifacts are very hard to find in Vermont, so I was super pumped to find this! My friend who I was digging with found this one I believe is quartz in the same area, so there are probably some more around!! Dying to get back and search for more points!

I found my first one in 1985. You won't forget the first one. I still have mine. Gary

WOW!

I would say it is a nice broken tip to a knife from the size of tip, look like you have about 1/4th of the original artifact, if you look you may find more parts of it.

Congrats on finding your first point. I think they are just as exciting to pick up, as it is to dig an old coin.

Wow that's super interesting, thank you Treasure_Hunter! I will have to look around for the rest of it.

I detect in an area that had lots of indigenous people activity and have looked for their artifact for years as I metal detect and beach comb, but have still to find one. Yours is a treasure for you!
