:D   While out on my mornin' walk with Koda. We were walking an old tree covered trail, up a steep hill. Koda was standing by a large rock, with her nose to the top of it. I just happened to look down at what she was sniffing! And a great find..native american ARROWHEAD about 3" long! Now we have lots arrowheads here..but find one laying on top of large rock is different! Maybe a friends from the long past is telling me something!!

Good for you!  

For all the years I've spent walking and looking at the ground trying I've never found a stone point.  I have a selection my Grandmother collected when she was a kid along the Susquehanna River a dozen miles away from where I live now.  There is just something powerful about them.

Very cool
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Cool find.  I'm always scanning the ground for interesting things, son of a confirmed "rock hound".  Never found an arrowhead though.  Finding one must feel like a real link to someone in the past.

Very cool find, in reality it's probably a knife or spear point though. a bit big for a true arrow head.

Oh Yeah, Their neat to find in the field. As stated above a real link to the past. As Dennis points out a bit large for an arrow point. Could be a knife or a dart point. (atlatl) Lucky Find. I'd get that point sniffing dog out more often!

yep, it is a tad large for an arrowhead. I find lots of spear points, knives or scrapers here. Most are chipped or tips broken off. Same with arrowheads, once in a while we're find some that are complete. They say indains would sit/camp on the hills around here and watch for the buffalo's in the valley!

I used to find them all over when I was a kid. Now they built houses on top of all of the good places to search  :(

Nice find indeed. A friend of mine found three arrow heads touching each other on the Neuse river bank.
