My great grand father was one half Cherokee, he taught me about making flint tools and a lot about the land.
His son, my grand father taught me how to find flint tools lol.
The area I'm from is literally littered, with these tools laying right on the ground. Some may have been lost in the hunt, others discarded as a broken implement. Have you ever found artifacts? I've found hundreds in my time.
Here are a few.
Cool artifacts IP_SEC. My grandfather was Yaqui (had green eyes, so not sure what % yaqui). We called him the medicine man. He had natural cures for everythig. He cured his own diabetes, and passed the remedy on to my father, who used it, he now has diabetes under control.
I will dig out mine and post them tommorrow.
my great grandfather lived in San Angelo Texas and was married to a 100% Chickisaw Indian. He used to go looking for artifacts, and one he found was particulary cool. It's a corner tang ceremonial knife blade and its valued at like 1500 bucks. I'll post a pic tommorrow...
Really Rich, San Angelo, I was just there a week or so ago. I got kin that lives there.
I believe the big one in my pics was to be a cerimonial knife that was unfinished. If you look on the right hand side you can see a concave where they may have started forming the tang.
I like to make up little stories and imagine the person who made them.
My mom was born there.
No- actually she was born in Midland Odessa.
But he lived in San Angelo.
Ill take those pics tommorow...

Remember everyone, Indians live in India, not North America.

WOW! Very impressive collecton you have there!
When I was growing up, there was a park that had a section by the CT river, that was called "King Phillip's Stockade". f course by the time arrived n the scene---all the neat stuff had been put into a museum! But the things looked like what you have shown. Interesting!

My dad used to have a cabin in Pine Valley, CA(Noble Canyon area) and it seems that a village was once located in the same spot. We found buckets worth of pottery, arrowheads, etc. We just made a sifter box and went to town. That stuff was all over the place(along with a ton of rattlesnakes everywhere). I think my dad still has all of it...I know he has the arrowheads in a special box.
I have only found one arrowhead in my lifetime. When I was a teenager was walking in a cornfield near a river in my hometown in northern Illinois and noticed something jutting up out of the dirt. I picked it up and rubbed off the dirt and couldn't beleive what I saw. It was the most spectacular specimen of an arrowhead I have ever seen. It was made of sugar quartz, about 3-4 inches long. I later read that there was a large tribe of Potawatami indians settled there just east of the river in the early 1800s in the exact spot I had found the arrowhead. In the fall of 1835 the indians were moved west of the Mississippi. They were the last indians in this area. I still have the arrowhead.
