There's a local cafe situated in a Harley Davidson Museum in my town. They serve a good southern breakfast. I just happened to have my camera nearby this morning and snapped a few shots of the wall decoration placed by the owner. It's his personal finds, from what I'm told. Randolph County NC and nearby counties are rich in Native American history. I have found several heads in the woods myself.

If these heads could talk....

That's a beautiful display piece!

We have a county museum here where I live in OK that has a 3 or 4 cases about 10ft long apiece with nothing but knapped arrow heads, tomahawk heads and spear points. Some of the obsidean spear points are just shy of 18" long while some of the tiny bird points are barely 1/2".

I should get around to taking some photos of my heads here.  Most aren't in frames yet

I found it interesting to see all of the sizes and shapes. Makes me wonder what heads were for what game, or fish.

Nice find Bud. I will have to stop by there and check out those heads and breakfast.

Some of them are small game points(bird points) , some are large game arrowheads, some are lance heads for war, some are drill bits. They made lots of tools for specific purposes.  Those long skinny ones that look like a saw tooth shark bill are little drills for wood, bone , and shell work.

Guys doing those today are making some cleaner points, but considering what our ancestors had, those are pretty neat.  I worked for an archeologist from UT in the 60's and varieties are tools until themselevs as Bishop says

Pretty cool find Bud.  Thanks for sharing it with us, and here I thought you had put your skills to work knapping out some fine heads for this season.

Wife and I have found several of the stone beads like the one shown in the picture. Everytime we find an artifact I wonder about its use and how it was made.

Great photo with some great points.
