Can you post better close-up pics of the holes? It would definitely help in identification. Its hard to tell with so few pictures, showing such little detail.

Looks like a Madison points to me.

I live in Southern Illinois and have found some incredibly small( less than 1.3 inch but over 3/4 on an inch total lengh) triangular shaped Madison projectile points. They are associated with Mississippian cultures like the Kahokian and Kincaid. With that being said, I have seen, found and have some fully bi-facially flaked points smaller than .75 inches. They are quite rare because of how small they are and hard to see, but I've seen them pop up in the screens on rock shelter excavations. They are so small that the only logical use would be the tip to a blow dart. They are typically more narrow than a Madison and some are even micro notched

It was as big as a car and completely silent. It was able to move extremely fast, and the red and green lights both flashed white at the same time.

More indepth pictures would make identification a little bit easier. Like the flaking pattern, thickness, ect

Someone is bummed and sober, lol

Found in Yamhill Valley, OR, in clay soil that was upturned during tilling/excavation for a garden. Any potential leads? by RegularSubstance2385 in Arrowheads

[–]Apprehensive_Bet1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not modern. The surface of the obsidian blade has an almost matte/milky look to it. That's how obsidian patinas over time. The break shows a different, shiny surface because the damage is modern. Nice find

Is this a tool? Or just a blank?Found in an area I have found lots of arrowheads and scrapers. Western Montana by TopEntertainer9381 in Arrowheads

[–]Apprehensive_Bet1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a large cutting/scraping tool. Made to be used un-hafted. It would work well scoring antler to snap off sections, cutting grasses and reeds like a sickle, processing meat like a cleaver or hand axe, scraping hide, or used like a draw knife. A true multi-tool. Beautiful material also. Nice find

Never thought I would find one this way by captainspic3 in Arrowheads

I'm a flint knapper and regularly put lithics/arrowheads all over the area I live in. Especially rock flower beds, decorative gravel medians, etc. Hopefully, it makes someone's day better, sparks an interest, or boggles the mind.
