Re: Found another
I know for a fact it's real. I live right next to the Grand River which is a hot spot for Indian activity. . I've heard so many stories from old timers finding them all along the river in this area.

Re: Found another
That is a perfect specimen. I know the ones found in Arkansas rarely have the tip - that looks like it was freshly minted and may have nice value Ted. Keep us posted though you may just keep it for the coolness factor.

Re: Found another
Ted, do a search for university archaeologists in your neck of the woods and email them a photo. They might be happy to tell you age and its use.
I found this in 2015 at Lake Delhi and a University of Iowa expert was glad to tell me about.
"Mid-stage biface, probably Archaic period (roughly 5000 years old plus or minus a millennium) with some use damage on the one end (where the smaller flaking is present). Unlikely a scraper as they tend to be smaller and worked on just one side with steeper angled flakes. This may have been used as a chopper, but more importantly was a ready source for smaller flakes (utility knives) that could be readily struck off at need, used, and abandoned when no longer sharp or the job completed. In progress enough to be functional for big tasks but also a ready sources for smaller flakes that would be used for finer work – in the process the main tool would slowly re more and more refined. Once no longer able to supply big flakes it would be finished more carefully into a more formalized tool.”

Re: Found another
That is beautiful, and in great condition. Way to go.
My uncle in Ann Arbor had a large arrowhead collection he put together in his youth, and it always captivated me. I bumped into my first on the Mohican River in north central Ohio. My family had gone out boating with friends sometime in the mid 70s, and we took lunch on an island in the middle of the river. The four of us kids were skipping rocks while waiting for the hot dogs to cook. I picked up a flat stone to whizz down the river, and noticed before I flung it that it was a spearhead about 3 inches long. It went straight to my curio shelf. A couple months later, dad and I went arrowhead hunting out in a field. We came up dry. As we were walking back out an access road at about dusk, I wanted to pull a joke on him so I gushed over to some random black stone that was laying on the side and loudly proclaimed that I'd found one. I was just trying to get his goat, but then I looked at the "random stone" more critically, and what do you know? The flaked indentations were smoother than I was used to, almost like it had been through a rock tumbler, but I took it up to my uncle who identified it as a stunning tip. Weird twist of fate.
