Growing up in Indiana I was blessed with many things relic wise, but finding small true arrowheads was not one of those things (I have found 2 little Madison like points at my sites.) I’ve always loved them, the simplicity, the purity of design. Just efficient little tools made from high quality materials.

Like many of us, I was always blown away by the little notched points Steve/Larson used to post here, especially the Jaw Notch points he would post. So when the Loitwood collection from the Dakotas came up for auction, one of the things that I wanted to do was add to my birdpoint frame. It’ll be a couple of years before I get to work these into that big frame, but I think these are the ones that will make the cut. Many thanks to Quito/Joel for picking these out of thousands of points and helping me add them to my collection.

Quito also picked out about an equal number of awesome triangles that I didn’t get a picture of before I put them into storage.

Edit- I do have a picture of the triangles.pd

Ohio & Indiana has some small notched points but none as nice as those. I put a frame together years ago of some of my best ones from Coshocton County. None have that flat almost stamped out look of those Loitwoods. Nice display.
 

Great collection of side notched arrow points .
 

Awesome! :icon_thumright:

I always enjoy the moment when I find one of those small side-notched points. They just seem like the manufacturer took the time to flake them so precisely.
 

Those are some beautiful points, cool acquisition!
 

Beautiful points. I like the true arrow points. Gary
 

Great group of arrow points.
I have always enjoyed finding Plains arrow points as they are generally very well made; many out of colorful lithics.
