That was what I wanted to come up in this thread. These points were found over 30 years ago. All found in one corner of one field. I know the spot, but pines grow there now. I need a good knowledgable digging partner. Less fields are farmed now. Pines are in all of the best spots here. I too have heard the old timers talk about "sword fighting" with arrowheads until they broke. Then, just pick up another. I think they are exaggerating to a degree. They were in plowed fields from sun up to sun down. Some days, I drive that long looking for a plowed field. Pops says that the farmers today don't plow the earth as deep either. He was a farm kid, so I take his word. He said that he has never seen sword sized points, that was the generation before his. Personally, I believe the old timers. I also think those blades are still around. Just got to dig, and dig carefully. Creeks are seldom looked here either. The creek patina makes it hard to find artifacts. For that reason, my dad and his peers stayed in fields. It made for easy, guaranteed finds. They never cared what kind of point they found, as long as they found one. As soon as the yellow jackets , snakes and Sasquatch go in for winter, I'm changing my hunting habits up. We'll see!
