Hello. While going through some old things at my grandparents house we found a box of arrowheads that my great grandfather had found when he was a farmer. I was just wondering if anyone could help me identify any of these?

The one on the far left might just be a rock, but it was in the box so I put it up anyway.

nice the rock is a celt i bet
 

Looks like typical Ohio artifacts and materials. Mostly field grade but still some nice pieces.

Those are awesome and you say that your great grandfather found them, was it family land and do you still have access to it? Like the others said that's not a rock but a tool, very possibly a celt. Here is a link to a site that will help you What's The Point? Identifying Flint Artifacts All of these are very old and I'm not saying hundreds of years but thousands. You are very lucky to have them, they are beautiful and rare.
 

some good one in there, the top row are mostly Adena blades, you have some from the Hopewell period, and the Celt is a good find these days, none are worth a ton of dough though.
 

Nice Ohio points, that "rock" is definitely a celt ( ungrooved axe)and a nice one.
I see some stemmed Adena culture points, also the two that don't have notches/flat sides could very well be plano lanceolets, very old up to 10,000 years.
Maybe a broke Kirk and a scraper.
I'd keep'em for sure!
 

Oh wow. Yeah thanks everyone. I don't plan on parting with them just had no idea what they were. Honestly I have no idea if we still have access to the land, my Grandmother was the only one with connections to that side of the family since the rest of us don't know them that well. Although they were found somewhere in Hudson Ohio on a farm and I don't think there are really any farms out there anymore.
 

Well you wont be able to retire on any of them but I would of been happy to find any of them for my collection. Welcome to the forum
 

Some niceuns in there.
 

Great collection of artifacts, now you have a start for your own collection to leave behind.:thumbsup:
