I have been hunting arrowheads most of my life but have never found one. My grandmother would give me one they found on the farm almost every time I visited as a child. I recently moved outside of Richmond VA on some land. I was walking up from our creek after a hard rain yesterday picking up pieces of quarts for my daughter. In one exposed area I found what looks to be a point with a broken tip but I was not 100% sure. I went back and found a second smaller one in the same area that looks much more like a point. I would greatly appreciate a second opinion of my finds.
I have knapped my own points from glass over the years to help me identify one if I ever found a real artifact.
Thank you

Those looked worked to me.

Congrats! If you are finding pieces like that, then you might be on a hot area.

Welcome!
 

I agree with Diggin-N-Dumps. Both piece looked worked to me and I would go back and look that area over each time you get a heavy rain event. Good luck!
 

Welcome to t- net , the smaller one is definitely a point the serrated edge confirms it for me not sure about the bigger one it’s hard to tell from the pics but congrats on your first arrow head find

That is a beauty. I hope you get ahold of a lot of arrowheads with that material. They are nice. Welcome to T net....Good Luck and Happy Hunting
 

You've broken the ice. You'll find more now. I still have the first arrowhead I found in 1985 around here somewhere. Gary
