Here are the points I have found so far. I waited for the snow to go away now I'm racing the plow and planter..........so far so good. Also, any info on the center point would be appreciated. Thanks  |

Great finds..
I've looked at arrow heads like that, closed my eyes and try to visualize who made them and how they were used. A window to the past.
Thanks for a sharing..

Hey, nice points!
The center one appears to be an Adena type. Usually the shoulders aren't that pronounced, but the tang looks Adena. These points usually start out 3.5 to 4 inches long and then like many other larger types, the Indians would resharpen them till they got too short or the base would break, and then they'd toss them away. I count nine of yours that show sign of having been resharpened (anciently) at least once. The thumbscraper in the middle used to be a point. The large broken one at 7 o'clock, was never resharpened - its shape is the original type.
Contrary to what most people believe, a lot of points were used as knives, not arrowheads or spearheads. About half of yours shown I'd guess are knife blades including the Adena.
This has been my best year in probably ten years for finding points... it must be the two months of constant snow and rain this winter. God blessed me with a nice Thebes yesterday... it's always a thrill!
Feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions. This has been a serious hobby of mine since I was 14.
