Columbia river arrowheads I got at a Garage sale today

[drbecker]

Bought these at a garage sale today. The seller was 7/16 native. He told me they came from the Columbia river.
The little skinny one caught my eye. Is it anything special it is very small only about 1.2 inches long? A couple of the small ones with no tip are quartz and a couple are obsidian.

I think that means 7 of his 16 Great Grandparents were Native American 9 were not. He said it was 6 or 7 different tribes but is 1/4 of one of them I had not heard of it before but there are 100s of West Coast tribes. HIs wide had died and he was selling off a lot of stuff, she was more native American then he was. Nice lives a block away from me. Very fair skinned you would not think Native American.

Paid $30 for the points. Hard to see how I could go to wrong at that and I really wanted the tiny ones.

You did well and 7/16 is certainly obtainable, .4375%. I would love to see close ups of the other ones.
Good job.

What part of the columbian do you live on?

I am in the Seattle area so a long way from the Columbia river. I was just told the artifacts came from the Columbia so that is a big area.

I have a buddy who was born in Ireland, and he inevitably gets comments from people along the lines of that. (I'm 1/2 Irish, 4/32nds Irish, etc.) One night, a rather pretty woman heard his accent and said she was half Irish, and he looked down at her chest and asked 'which half?'

Nice points Doc, a couple of them look more like Great Basin points that Columbia River points. (Desert patina vs river patina.)

I have a Norwegian friend that when someone tells him that they are Irish always says ...."so you are only half Norwegian then"....

real real nice drbecker
and very interesting designs of a lot of them

 

[MohawkJohn]

you scored. big one on top with lots of serrations is worth easily 40-50.

Nice artifacts! However, they aren't from the Columbia River area. Those types (Neff, Temporal, etc) are all more common to the southeast Arizona, western New Mexico, west TX / MX area.
