Wow! That's an incredible display of history! I have some friends who are collectors and I've tried it a few times, but I can walk right over examples and not spot them. The talent displayed by those craftsmen of the past is really something to see.

WHEN YOU FIND AN ARROW HEAD OR OTHER INDIAN STONE ARTIFACTS SUCH AS KNIVES AND CUTTING/SKINNING TOOLS YOU ARE PICKING UP A PIECE OF HISTORY, IT IS AN AWESOME FEELING TO DO SO.

Unbelievable collection! Several lifetimes of work represented there. I keep an arrowhead on my reloading bench that I found on my hunting property. It gives me a feeling of connection to the person who sat down and handmade his ammunition eons ago. He hunted with his creation on the same ground I hunt on with mine.

Wow ! Never saw so many in one place. Way better to find them on the ground than stuck in your thigh, back, etc..

That sure is a nice collection. I would not want to guess the many hours spent on it.
An older friend of mine from western Kansas just showed me a neat one. A buffalo vertebrae with an arrow stuck in it, he found it when he was a kid in the 40's.

This is only part of his collection. Our family use to have quite a few when I was a kid & we had a farm in Milford, Utah back in the 40's. Don't know what ever happened to them. I have a large box of obsidian that I've had for a long time, one of my son's was doing some flint knapping at one time. Don't know what I'll ever do with it. Quite an art to do it the right way with a deer antler.

Not far from where I grew-up in the Willemette Valley of western oregon was a local tibe's winter camp where to large creeks came together. They used to hunt all around this area for many generations. We grew 100's of acres of grass seed and when we wold spot-spray the fields in the spring we would often find arrow heads and the like. Many differnet sizes and shapes. I gave most of them to a friend who was really into that sort of thing a lot more than I was. However not nearly the number in the very impressive collection that Sixshot showed above, wow! That guy was busy looking.

IF YOU READ ABOUT THE INDIAN WARS OUT WEST YOU REALIZE THAT UP TO AROUND THE CIVIL WAR THE INDIANS FOUGHT THE WHITE MAN PRIMARILY WITH BOWS AND ARROWS AND SPEARS, WITH HARDLY ANY FIREARMS. OF COURSE AN INDIAN COULD SHOOT A BOW A LOT FASTER THAT A SOLDIER COULD SHOOT A MUZZLELOADER.
