HI,
I was recently cleaning out my parents house, and I came across a ring box containing this arrowhead. My mother grew up on a dairy farm in central MInnesota, and I remember as a kid, her telling me about the time she found an arrowhead in one of their fields. I never saw that point, and she never talked about it except maybe once or twice. Well, imagine my surprise when I found this. I'm hoping this is the very artifact that my mother found as a farm girl back in the 60's. She must have kept it all this time, so I would like to believe.
But on the other hand, once she married my father, the two of them did a lot of traveling. We all know that every museum gift shop and tourist attraction has "arrowheads" for sale. She could have just bought this piece, I can't rule that out. What makes me think it is authentic, is the way it was so carefully and safely tucked away with her other items of jewelry, as though it really meant something to her.
So, what do you guys and gals think? Genuine central MN artifact, or cheap gift shop knock off?
