I got permission to walk a freshly plowed field at lunch today. It had just rained, so things were still wet. Found what looks to be a broken arrowhead!!
My husband Ralph & I had found several small chips and flakes of flint and chert on the same property, only on unplowed areas.
Am attaching pictures of both sides of the arrowhead. Can anyone help identify what kind this is, or
have any information? Thanks in advance :)

It is a hafted (tied to a stick) point, whether an arrowhead, spearpoint or knife (hard to tell) that was broken and re-cycled as a cutting and scraping tool. Nice first find !
 
What uni said and congratulations.Hope its the first of many.

Awesome ... :hello2:..I am super happy for you...There will be no stopping ya now.
 
Congratulations on the first find. One thing that you'll notice is that the surface is a different color than the inside. This is the patination of the old surface. The newer plow caused breaks expose fresh flint and display the original color of the material. Again, congratulations.
 
Congrats! You will never forget the first one. It will be an addiction now.
