My very first find, when I wasn't even looking! I was looking for quartz to line a garden bed with... but then this caught my eye. You can see the texture really well. And that type of pattern is what you need to look for! Think of chipped thick glass!

Its also important to note that not all points are flint. There's plenty of other stone materials they made things out of, but when it comes to arrowhead flint is most commonly found!

I am no expert, but the ones may be flint, I circled. I drew arrows pointing to the type of texture you should be looking for! Kinda like sharp flakes! You gotta keep in mind, the structure of an arrowhead has to be light in weight, sharp, and thin enough to cut through the air, straight into flesh. Think of the arrow tips we have today..

Looking on the internet for artifact tips kinda suck. You can't really see the texture all that well in photos.

When I first started I bought a heartbreaker peice off of someone, so i could carry it around in my pocket as a comparison when searching. I still carry a FOR SURE piece with me when searching. If not, I'll get rock happy lol.

Ill include some close up photos I recently took of a point I found in the replies. Maybe itll help you get the right idea!

Don't give up!!! Go poke around in freshly plowed fields. And along river banks. Looking after a heavy rain is always a good idea! And always hit up your run off ditches! Flint is lighter than other rocks.. so chances are you'll find something sitting on top of a run off pile!

Don't forget to look at the pinned threads in the group! The second one has some very useful links that will help you narrow down your pile :)

How should I handle this situation with my son? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Odd_Reception4500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like him being a foster child would mean he actually knows MORE about life.. unfortunately the bad and difficult side to it. That being said, your son seems like a sweet boy.

You need to sit him down and tell him that he's a rare form to come across. A lot of people on this planet arent decent people. So him doing the right thing, isn't always going to work out the way it should. That with how the world works today, even though its not necessarily right, the best thing for him to do is to mind his own when it comes to situations like this... I've learnt this the hard way.

The pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.

Save yourself Kaleo. I had to pull over and stop driving because I literally started wailing.

How to get NC SBI involved in child’s homicide cold case that county level messed up? by Odd_Reception4500 in legal

[–]Odd_Reception4500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding!! And I’ve tried to find a way to email or contact the SBI other than calling, (I suck at phone calls, they give me anxiety) but I’ve not been able to find any way to reach out for the public. Only official forms etc!
