This is SO cool!
We were out today and while Daddy was waiting on us (we were cracking walnuts) he picked up a piece of flint from the road. When the girls went down to where he was, they each immediately found an arrowhead in the road! We started looking on the bank next to the road, and they were ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!! We were literally sticking our hands in the dirt and coming up with four or five every time! It was SO awesome!
From what we've read so far, they are from the Early Woodland period...2,000-3,000 years ago! It's so amazing to think of someone chipping flint into points 3,000 years ago! And leaving their trash for us to go through. lol (There were some jokes about dumpster diving through a 3,000 year old dump.)
(And we didn't just find small arrow points. There are also spear points, scraping tools, chipping tools, and Emma found an antler tool...I read what it was called, then (of course) forgot.)
