Indian arrowheads found at work!!!!

[luke_00]

Me and my dad are building a house in Banner elk, NC and we found these after they back filled around the footers! We noticed an old creek bed while removing the top soil and figured it would be a good place for a camp. This was my first ever arrowhead (the quartz one) I have found and it’s pretty exciting! There is a lot more untouched dirt so we might find more!

That is awesome I have never found a arrow head yet.

My boss would of yelled at me to get back to work and quit playing with rocks.
...Nice finds. Now get that house in the dry.

If those all came from that small of an area you may want to start sifting the dirt if you have time. Nice finds and good luck!

I am beyond jealous! I always have my eyes open for one and I dream of finding one some day. Congratulations. I bet you will find more!

Yes, If you can swing it, I would come back after hours and sift the most productive dirt. Unless you own the property, then you can do it anytime.

An excellent post and inspiring that we should ALWAYS be on the lookout for our treasures. Well done mate!

Well luckily our boss enjoys finding arrow heads as much as we do

That's the idea! If all is well we are going to build three more houses on the property so going to be a lot more dirt moved

Congrats on your first Indian relics! I'm afraid you are now addicted to hunting them, that's just how it works. Good luck on your future hunts!

you aint done yet, you just barely started!

 

[Trezurehunter]

I agree with Steve in Pa. I would be out there sifting every last piece of dirt. That is a lot of points to find in one little concentrated area. There has to be more. Good luck.

If they were found in backfill brought from that piece of ground you'll find more around there, If the dirt was brought in from another area, go there and find more...good eye!

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Now you will be looking down for the rest of your life!!! Get in there and sift that place for sure!!

Stop the work its sacred groung and must be excavated lol great job on the house and the finds

 

[unclemac]

that's a good point....if it is back fill it came in from somewhere else. I have seen the most fantastic black dirt farms in Illinois scraped clean down to the hardpan when they put in a housing development. All the black dirt is artifact rich and it is collected and resold to homeowners for flower beds after it is sifted.

Yeah all the backfill is from the topsoil we removed to put in the foundation so I would say they’re many more to be found!!
