Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Indian Artifacts

i'm about 30 miles from Dickson. There's a lot of "Indian stuff" around here. Old stuff!!

Has anyone taken the time to string one up to see how difficult it would have been to hit a target. Just curious. Cool pics, refreshing change from politics.

Little 'blunt' (hafted scraper)




Retooled point into a drill

















Small possible paleo ( found by my bud renegade50) he found this yesterday a gifted it to me.







Will post more in a couple hours. Theyre still in the mud bucket.

This broken point is not much but the location was interesting.

I was walking the crest of the Sangre dr Cristo range above treeline and noticed a low saddle that formed a dip in the ridge. It was low enough to have some trees and game trails that funneled over that low spot from either side.
It was an obvious locations for a hunter and looks to have been hunted for centuries.

I just found this thread, it's great.

When I was a kid, my father would take me out "arrow heading". Being a stone cutter by trade, I have a great appreciation for this stuff. These Indians were real craftsmen. I wish I had time to hunt for them, but haven't been out looking since I was a teenager. I miss it.

My father passed away back in February and we just finished clearing out all of the stuff from the house and I grabbed this off of the wall. It was missing the point all the way to the right. So I started digging through a box of nick knacks and found a small point to replace the missing one.



Before I did that, my wife gave this piece to me for my birthday to replace it. She bought it on line and was under the impression that it was ancient, but it's new. When I told her that, she looked back on the website and confirmed that it's a reproduction. But the guy who made it is an artist IMHO.



I've got a hammer head at home. I'll take a picture of it and post it tomorrow.

Finally got this to upload






And here's my last of the last that was in Sunday's pouch. Everything is all scrubbed up and put away. Got some major surgery tomorrow so I'm done for as far as May goes.

Thanks for posting all of you.

Wish I could find something other than scraps..... At least I got my kchunt off'n the kchouch.

Thanks again for posting and wish you luck with your Surgery!

Found this in my father's house. Is it a hammer head?

Likely was if that grove goes all the way around. GW

Second piece of "Indian jewelry" I have found. It's called a gorget and this one is quartz crystal. Very clear. The workmanship is beautiful.





This last shot is of the thickness, which is about 3/8". The photo makes it look rough, but it is actually very smooth around the outer edge. I'll never know how they flaked a material as hard as quartz this perfectly.

It's not an Indian Artifact, but it's pretty cool and I thought you guys might appreciate it. It's a piece of Pennsylvania Flagstone my father found in the stone yard about 60 years ago. It's about 12" tall.

You guys are posting up some great pieces!
