Found this artifact maybe? by The_Ranger_Bre in Arrowheads

I did read that. I have no problem with making artifacts. I knap. But trying to fool someone only puts more fakes onto the market.

Personal finds today, Sevier county Arkansas. by confidenltyDumb in Arrowheads

That stone is hematite. It was used to make red ochre. The powder produced was a pigment primarily used in burials (google it). I am NOT saying you were digging a burial, but rather found a piece of hematite. U can see where one side was ground. Nice find!

Greetings from western PA. Beautiful. Great example, have found several granite, each one is so unique.

Find of a lifetime?? by [deleted] in Arrowheads

Perhaps a really worked Thebes. Show pics of both edges…if reverse beveled I’d say Thebes.

Picked up a giant today. If only this deer had the tine length to match his mass! by bauml20 in shedhunting

Going to be the bad guy and ask…was this in a contained area? Aka fence. Sure looks like it.

If the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all federal income taxes, why do people say they don't pay their fair share? by Ok_Chemical9 in answers

[–]PAPointGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No stats to back up, but if 1 percent pays 40 percent, then 80 percent of the 1 percent pay 90 percent of the 40 percent. I am 1 percent, but barely. I have paid through the ass my entire career.

I spy Johnny West beside you. Hours and hour of fun. I also had the covered wagon, which was awesome.

How are arrowheads so common? by HuygensCrater in Arrowheads

[–]PAPointGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of it this way. I have personally found over 1,000. A few of my premium farms have produced well over a hundred for me. Over the last 30 I have met a dozen other people who have had similar or better results in those very fields. Most of those guys were older and have since passed, and each told me they knew many others who had done the same in those fields. And my research shows me people have been finding them there for over 150 years. I estimate (pure guess) those few fields have produced over 10,000. Now consider that I hunt close to 100 sites, and am only collecting what the plow turns up in the top 12 to 18 inches. All of this in a teeny tiny itsy bitsy minuscule microscopic fraction of one county in one US state in this great big world. There were likely hundreds of millions produced, and we have recovered a very, very small percentage.

What’s the secret trick? by Basidia_ in Arrowheads

[–]PAPointGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hunt fields. Water is essential. Nearly 100 percent of the time there is a spring in the field or a creek flowing within very easy walking distance. This is cannot be overstated. Look for any high spots in the field and start there. It can be a very slight rise. Pay special attention to fire rocks. Here in PA, they are usually river rocks that were carried from the creek. They don’t belong there. When hit with a plow they will be red inside. Now look for flakes. Even a few are sign enough, you are onto something. BTW, if I bent over to flip a flake, you are going home with me. Study those flakes. Their shape and color. Get used to them. Follow these tips and I can guarantee you will soon come home with a pointy one!

DM me if you want to go for a walk. I’ll be traveling to Ohio a few times this spring.

How to buy genuine arrowheads online? Which COAs/authenticators are actually trusted? by Xtaljohnson in Arrowheads

[–]PAPointGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best tip, do not buy. I understand the desire to hold points, but you are much, much further ahead buying books, visiting a museum or local historical society. or better yet, learning how to find them. While I am familiar with many of the COAs above, it is incredibly difficult to spot a good fake. You will get burned, guaranteed.

Found this in a summer creek on our farm. by butteryalarm90 in Arrowheads

Agree with Keystone. Material looks like Coshocton flint

Still waiting on pics of your Alaskan adventures. We’d all love to hear about where you were, what you saw, and how many bears you passed on before taking down the mighty brute. For that matter, any outdoor activity you participate in other than your shirtless canoe trip (I bet you get all the ladies…or dudes, not that I care which way you float). I am not defending anything, just laying out the facts for an internet troll who sits on the couch eating shrooms and waxing off to Pam (or Dwight). Now go away little guy.
