Arrowhead?

MetalDetector27 · Jan 30, 2012

I found a few items that I thought might be or were in the progress of being made into a tool or an arrowhead. Check it out.
The third pic down is a fossil. You can see the fossil in the upper right section of the stone.

Sorry, but none of them look like artifacts to me.

The second picture down is a native american tool of some sort.

Metal!! yes point in

?? has a general shape but not exact of a artifact but that is not all you need to type it. need a few things from you if you want to try to change Grim's!! mind. need state name on profile, canera set on micro setting, [3] or more micro photos back, front and tip close as you can get and get clear photos. use clean back ground solid color no patterns of any kind, so can see flake scars if not any usualy not a point. this well convince him and anyone else that really really know typeology one way or the other. i am NOT one of them but all this helps even me have a better chance at being right. as of right now i agree with Grim!!. thank you. Terry

Sorry, I agree with Grim. Second pic down is good enough, and appears to be a geofact. Whatever would you use that for? But you're on the right track and know what to look for.

hello Metal!! well you have had to go look and get back, what did you find good, bad or indefferent we want to hear and see. please put state name you live in on profile for people like me that can not remember where everybody is from. you may need to look at at some of the posts from your area,and study the different matterial then the other shapes you seem to have the triangle down pat, last but not least study the flaking scares on the artifacts it may very well increase the number of finds fore you. you will get where if you see a piece of flint hope the size of a dime or less showing from under the dirt you will know by the flaking scares that this piece may be a big nice artifact, hope this is of some help to you.

Thank you for all of the helpful information Terry. It is much appreciated and I will keep you posted. The weather ahead is looking warmer and I will be heading out there again hopefully this weekend for a few hours.
