Possible Arrowhead Found Today

[teddyrobo]

Hello, today I was walking along a sandbar in the Kansas River and I came across a rock that was oddly shaped. Upon further inspection I believe I've found an arrowhead. I've always wanted to find one but never been able. There are signs that this is an arrowhead such as serrated edges and one smooth surface which makes me think this was knapped from a core. I'm quite the amateur so I'm hoping a more experienced hunter could help me. Thank you =)

nice find. it may have been a tool of some sort possibly for scrapping fat from hides? keep your eyes to the dirt, their out there. at first i found none than i found 50 and then i found a 3 and 3/4 inch fluted clovis, and sold it on ebay for 2100.00 like a fool

I would of sold out for that price! I do not know much in this area either though.

many arrowheads can be found within 1/2 mile of mouth of larger creeks where meet the rivers. travel upcreek from river to avoid looking in muddy water.

It's amazing you say that because where I found this little guy yesterday was about 200 yards from where a tributary goes into the larger Kansas River. So go to these areas and look downstream? Thank you for the help! =)

yes if possible start at the river and work your way up stream. so as to not cloud up the water. also any washed out ditches or plowed fields near large creeks.
