Wow, those look primitive, even by native arrowhead standards. Neat stuff!

 

[RabidAlien]

Hmmmm.....based on initial observation, I'd have to say that quarter isn't more than 40 years old. The arrowheads, though, are frikkin cool!

And 25 cents, by today's monetary standard, is pretty primitive also.

Not quite... it was a stream bed. In 5 trips I've found 4 points. I didnt dig, just picked over river stones

Great find mate! Look at the workmanship in the second one especially!

My father (who lives in ireland) found a beautiful stone axehead on his land, absolutely perfect condition (not used much, it seems). He showed me where he found it, and after a look around I managed to find a saddle-quern!(large stone, worked flat on one side, for grinding wheat and corn). Both are now in the National Museum in Dublin, the axehead supposedly 5-6000 years old, and the saddle-quern around 4000.

When you look at the workmanship in these things, it's amazing to think they achieved with flints and stones what today would be a hell of a job even with modern power tools...

Nice.

My dad found a ancient tool made out of rock on a mine dump.
