Arrowheads

(1/2) > >>

Digger:
Many years ago I was on chat with an american from Ohio ,
we had nothing in common just passing the time of day.
I mentioned roman coins,and he became very interested.
After a few days he mentioned he collected arrowheads
so we made a deal I would send him a few coins and he
would send me an arrowhead , so I sent him a couple of
constantines  and waited for his reply, true to his word about
two weeks later I received a parcel , It contained the two
items pictured one arrowhead and one spear point.
That was 30 years ago and they have been stored away
all this time , I would love to know a bit more about them.

A previous thread contained the following link to a pretty comprehensive site about projectile points.  While it seems to target the Oklahoma region, the types may bleed across into other geographic regions.

I posted that link and it covers more than Oklahoma, I was interested in that state, but the site has a map and you can click on a state. You can go to a home page there to get out of the Oklahoma listings. There is overlap as Craig said, as well. Both of yours are nice points. I think the first one is a scraper, second one is an arrow or spear point, I think, depending on its size. I am not an expert by any means, but have spent some time looking at that site for the projectile points my grandfather found 100 years ago.

Cheers,
Virgil
