Arrowhead??

[MalibuKid]

So it's an arrowhead "not authentic" but what was it made for?? It's metal of some kind and it's fairly light. Maybe just a conversation piece or maybe a kids toy? Thanks for any help!!

What kind of metal do you think it is made of?? Is it magnetic?? It just looks too modern to me....

 

[jamey]

ok ,but by a river in the woods or your backyard.

Looks to large to me for an arrow head, perhaps knife or spear/atl atl point.

It's a Neat find either way , Old or Not ... Can You see any Casting marks around the edge ? or does it look more hammered or Hand forged ? I really no nothing about these thing's just a Start ... H.H. Still Searching the River banks and fields here in N.Y. for My first Point ... Many have been found here as it was occupied by Native Americans ...

Looks like old pot metal to me. Conversation piece? Maybe a souvenir piece?

seems like a cast aluminum type metal. and was found metal detecting an old yard

I'm going to jump out there and say it's not even close to a real Indian artifact. I really don't think Plains Indians were metal workers and I'm going to bet the metal arrowheads used by the plains Indians were traded for. Most likely from other Indians with Spanish influence (Maybe Navajo), Comancheros,Mexicans or Spaniards. Those arrows where most likely made from hoop steel (barrel hoops) or something similar(not aluminum) and I don't think they would bare the resemblance of the one you have posted. I'm thinking they would have been very simple , thin and slender. The one you found in your yard resembles a flint knapped style of an arrowhead or lance point. One thing I know for sure it's a cool find and I may be dead wrong! I hope when you find out for sure you keep me in the loop about what it really is. I'm very interested. Thank You! Good luck and good hunting!! The Kid

Clip those toe nails lol. Don't step on it like Coach did.

It might be the top of an iron fence. Is there a detachment point on the bottom?

 

[MalibuKid]

No detachment point that i can tell. I'm pretty sure it was not made by Native Americans. It is a porous type metal. Just a conversation piece I guess. Top of a fence or something seems legit, but its just as sharp on the bottom as it is on the sides. Thanks for all the replys !!!!!
