You are very welcome Paul. I'm glad you liked them and happy I could help.

I'm almost always eager to help a guy out. Now you can say your states collection has begun. Don't give it up, and keep us posted as you progress.

A nice start on your state collection :icon_thumleft:

, you are going to need more frames :laughing7:

That's the kind of problem to have( not enough frames).

ncnurseryman · Nov 17, 2013

You are right Rack, I will need some more cases. I actually took out a lot of pocket knives out of this one for the points.

Those are sweet!! Look different from what we find, huh?

ncnurseryman · Nov 17, 2013

Very much so, especially the points from SD. I can't believe how small they are. I'm guessing they used small bows and shafts too

I've read the Indians used smaller points for hunting and larger points for warfare. Is this true? Or was it based on the tribe and the materials they had at their location.

Not sure fongu.

Quito, didn't you say that those small points were used for buffalo. Man, that would take some real brass balls.

Yes I did. But I think they used them on everything from bunnies, prairie chickens, & enemies to buffalo.

Larger dart points and many knives are often mistaken for the usually much smaller arrowheads.
