We used to find them all the time on the farm my Dad grew up on in Central Kentucky. My Sister has the collection, so I don't have any to post of those. My Dad got into making them with flint, leather, and dear antlers a long time ago, and here is one he made for me:
those are nice. i've a few simular i found here in S.E. Mo. i've seen a lot of them, but always in the mindset that they were just a few hundred years old when they most likely were 1000's.
I have a few bronze arrowheads from ancient Europe that I do not have photos of now... However, here's a photo of an arrowhead I was proud to find in Iowa. I haven't had time to research it much since finding it last summer. Looking up basic arrowhead shapes has shown it to probably be a very early type (many thousands ranther than hundreds of years old!)!
After owning a lake cabin for about ten years, and having my family of five in the water for hundreds, if not thousands of total hours, my brother walks down there, glances in the water and plucks out a nice arrowhead. I'd post it but he did give it to one of my kids. (He always found more golf balls than I did when we were kids, too). Steve
I had no idea you lived in the area. I grew up in Mercer County myself but live over a thousand miles away now. Here's one my dad found in a tobacco field in Lincoln County a few decades ago:
spot the arrowhead ... ... or is it a halibut? (yup) Very cool arrowheads, fellas (sadly, I don't have any of those winners)
It's a small world! My dad found these sitting on the back of a tractor while planting tobacco. Did you live in Harrodsburg? Spear points, Punches and Arrowheads. Mercer county, Kentucky.
My Dads farm was in Salvisa. I'm in Lexington but if you ever make it back to Kentucky come over to my house and I'll break out the GOOD bourbon!
