I don"t collect them but I found a "projectile point" last year when I reset my wife"s tulip bulbs. From what I can gather, true "arrow heads" are relatively "modern"; last 400-500 years or so. The piece I found is probably 4000-5000 years old and not even that rare. Finding it up here in the hills out of the Schoharie valley in New York is unusual. Must have been lost whilst a native was hunting. On the other hand, my wife"s cousin hunts these in the rich Schoharie Valley bottom land every year when the fields are tilled and finds many of them. The Natives have lived in the valley for thousands of years and there are many sites where they had their camps that are rich with these so called arrowheads. He found 11 in one day last spring. Go to Google "Images" and type in "Projectile Point"; Like me, you"ll learn a great deal about the weapons used by the natives. Here in N Y State (as in most places) the projectile points were made of flint but in some of the western states, they were made of much more exotic stone and some are absolutely beautiful works of art.
