I was hoping someone could tell me if this quartz piece is an arrowhead? I found it in the same plowed pasture as the broken one on the left. I've found full arrowheads and a nutting stone on the plantation property in the past too.
If it is an arrowhead, any info on it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking,
MM

Not an arrowhead. Looks like a knife of sorts.

Hi MM, You have a Savanah River on the left, made from Rhyolite & a Quartz blade, looking at the edges I would say it was used for more a sawing action, than slicing. Started as a preform (for a Guilford) & they just added the serrations?
Nice finds. Good luck with your next hunt.

AWESOME!!!
Molly,
I can't thank you enough.  icon_thumleft Great info. I keep my head down every time I'm in those plowed pastures. I find a lot of old pottery shards too.
Thanks & have a Happy Thanksgiving,
Doug

I thought I remembered you being in NC.  The "Sunshine State" by your avatar threw me off.  Grin
Thanks again Molly.

Oh I'm only here temp, its not a state I could settle in. I miss having spring water from a well. Too hot here, too many bugs & car insurance is 3 times more expensive, due to crazy drivers..I guess I'm a Carolinian at heart, although not born there.. I sure miss it..
A friend said I would miss that ol' rhyolite, its true I do..lol.

Good to see you too, Molly. FYI, I live in Tx. but I have watched your posts from the Carolinas since I joined the TN...If you ever get over this way I'll take you to a couple of dig sites that I frequent...

I thought you were in NC Olden..So many ppl on here, its difficult to keep up.  icon_scratch

I would like to hunt in Texas, while there I never got chance to, so I might take you up on that.
I intend on going back for a visit, I liked it in Texas. I met some cool cowboys while there, the cook offs were something else, darn good food. The only thing I didn't like about TX was, they all thought I was an aussie...LOL.  Grrrr !!!!   Angry

Hi MM. You seem to have a relative of this one I found here in Virginia not long ago. Its a nice quartz blade. The other two pieces were found today and are just good examples of the beautiful quartz that is found in our area.
