Speaking of arrow heads and Walmarts, there is a field just north of the one in Cynthiana Ky. along the creek. Near 30 years ago when I was cutting tobacco, I noticed that whole field was full of broken points on the end near the creek. I always wanted to go back there and search for a few whole ones but I never had the opportunity.

The Art Gerber Cache is pretty amazing as well, I think it was 10,000 cache blades if I'm not mistaken.

That story might be taken with a grain of salt. Caches were found in Oklahoma, like tons of points, but generally they're associated with burial mounds, as at Spiro. They're not the result of an Indian artisan's teepee falling in to disrepair and being covered by the sands of time. They didn't even live in teepees at the time period these points are probably from. Still a cool story, and amazing to see some of the point caches that were found in Oklahoma.

This is not the cache described in the old newspaper article. But I thought folks might enjoy seeing a huge cache anyway. 7232 blades. I think 19th Century, and I think Ohio, but I'm not 100% certain.
