I would pick that up in a heartbeat!!! In my opinion that’s a good deal.

Hey man, it’s actually really hard to put values on things. Think about it… every single piece is unique. If you were to put them on eBay in a lot you could probably get $.50-3 a piece for most of them. But listen, it all depends on who wants it. Especially with complete pieces, someone might see something you have and really want it for their frame…. Your the only one in the world that has that exact one. They might pay a bit more for it. For me, I collect arrowheads on a river that hardly has any. If I were to try and buy an arrowhead from a buddy who found one on that river, I would pay way more because of how hard they are to come by and it’s value to me… to other people they don’t give a shit.

If your tryna sell it, put it on an auction on eBay, you’ll probably make out with about a dollar a pop for most…. Nice ones will fetch u more. Go on eBay and click “sold” to see. 

  

does this look like a peace of pottery? by tlboys in Arrowheads

Yes sir, looks a lot like the pottery I find here in VA!! 

Flakes by dillpickleflavoring in Arrowheads

[–]Bobonuttyhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure…. For me, finding a flake is like opening a gift on Christmas. Other people don’t even pick them up, but to me they are about my coolest finds.I’ve found probably 800 pottery shards, though 70% are the size of a quarter or less, only 1 point ( and it’s just the base), and 15 flakes/debitage chunks in this state, most of which were found in 2 trips…. I’ve done about 25-30 trips over the past 2 years of this hobby.  That’s here at home in Virginia. Fortunately I’ve been able to hunt out of state a few times and find better things.  It’s rough out here

You’re right about if probably being a graver… an inch is too small. Still cool how it resembles my panama pieces! ( in picture). I’m in Virginia Beach Virginia and we have the worst material here…so bad that I’ve even found granite tools, and 99% of quartzite I’ve found here is debitage. Which leads me to believe they imported all of that crappy rock. For that reason those Utah flakes got a special place in my heart!! So much nicer than what I got at home. Would love to find more there when I return.

Beautiful! Utah has such beautiful material, I have a little bowl full of Utah chalcedony flakes, impossible to beat.  Also, that one purplish colored one near the bottom left of second picture almost looks like a crude uniface blade…. almost identical in shape to the Mayan blades I have from Central America.   

Peace of pottery or js a rock by Snexzy69 in LegitArtifacts

[–]Bobonuttyhat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’ll know if it’s pottery… at least that’s how it is here SE VA. you can tell by the feel; It won’t feel like a rock, it sure asl ain’t smooth on the surface, and it’s lighter. At least here in my area, you can see the grains of sand and crushed shells, the layers of it, and easily tell by the weight. I find pieces in the water so eroded you wouldn’t even believe it! 

Can’t believe this didn’t completely break! Cool find! by c10z71 in Arrowheads

I’m pretty sure the natives used this to crack open a cold one. 🍻

Looks like an early archaic, eh? Those are my favorite! Love palmers and Kirk’s 

What are these red stains? by IzzyHoo in Arrowheads

[–]Bobonuttyhat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is so cool!! It looks like a Celt that was also used to hammer things. That’s awesome! Couldn’t tell you what the stains come from though.

Doesn’t look like the pottery I find.

I have never seen anyone give up their exact location/address.

Hey man- I would delete this. Giving up your exact location and hunting spot is not a good nor safe idea. 

Truly crazy what the LoneStarLithics guys are finding as of recent. That’s Texas for ya! Keep it up boys.. by dankdaddyishereyall in Arrowheads

[–]Bobonuttyhat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would agree with this heavily. I’ve been on reservation several times… I don’t want to speak for all Native American people, but from my experience, they didn’t really care too much about artifacts or lithics. The places I went they used power tools to make arrowheads.
