| Discover An Arrowhead In Your Garden And You'll Never Look At Bare Dirt The Same Way Again Forever! |
I know I sure don't. Not since I found an agate
arrowhead when I was digging a new garden plot on
my family's land in Oregon.
That spring I was just 13 years old. I still have that
arrowhead. And several others which I found over the
next few years, in our other gardens, in our plowed
fields, on old paths and dirt driveways up in the
forested hills around our place, out in the fields where
I was moving irrigation pipes, etc., etc.
I never missed a chance to keep an eye on the open
spaces and freshly disturbed soil, just to see what I
could find. And over the years, my close observation
has been rewarded many times, in many places.
Just like thousands of other kids all over the
country, I was intrigued and fascinated by these
arrowheads, the hunting weapons left behind
over hundreds and thousands of years of use
by the people who lived here before us.
Maybe you are doing the same thing today.
Perhaps you have the same questions about
those arrowheads and other things which
you find in the soil around your home.
That's why I put together this web page, to
help kids and parents understand what
they are finding, to know all about these
arrowheads and other stone tools made
by the ancient inhabitants of our lands.
Sometimes those people were our
ancestors, and sometimes they have
been gone so long that no one knows
who might be descended from them.
But we always want to know about
them, to understand their lives, and
to study the evidence of their time
here which we find around us.

| To accomplish these things we are putting together an on- going electronic monthly newsletter designed to illustrate and explain the tools and weapons which we find in all corners of this big land. We call it "Arrowhead Collecting On The Web". And we invite you to read it, every month. "Arrowhead Collecting On The Web" will explore all the questions we have about the people who made them, where they lived, how we find their stone tools, how they made these weapons and tools, hold old they are, how we know the age of these tools, and many more. We will have photographs of arrowheads and of collections so you can see how some people display the points they find. Other photo stories will follow an expert collector to see what is found and where. We will also talk about the rules of looking for arrowheads, the restrictions which some states and government laws place on where we can look and how we can look. Every different part of the country has different rules, so these rules and legal guidelines will be explored based on the various regions or states across the country. Another aspect of the newsletter each month will be some stories about sharing or trading with other collectors across the country. This way we can explore the different types of arrowheads which are found in various regions. Not only are there distinctive styles from different areas, but there were very clearly different ways of making arrowheads and other hunting weapons during the many vast eras or periods of time which have gone by during the long history of human use of this land. To request your new subscription to the monthly newsletter “Arrowhead Collecting On The Web”, simply click on the Subscription Details Here! link just below this photograph. By the way, it's free. |

| "I found these arrowheads . . . on the world wide web!" You can, too. Every month in "Arrowhead Collecting On The Web" we will show you how your mouse can do the searching on the world wide web. We will bring you information and links to on-line sources of authentic, ancient arrowheads. And we will talk about how to tell if an arrowhead is ancient, or a modern reproduction, and give you links to reputable authenticators who can provide experienced, scientific examinations of arrowheads to verify and certify the authenticity of points you collect. I found these arrowheads shown here on the internet, though several other people actually found them in the places where they were last used, abandoned or stored away and forgotten. Any collector can tell you that there are times when you will want to wander the fields and streams yourself. So, every month, in the pages of "Arrowhead Collecting On The Web", we will also provide articles and photographs to show you how to effectively find ancient arrowheads and other stone tools for your collection. We will show you how and where to find arrowheads yourself, in your own home area. Don't miss a single article! Be sure to subscribe today to "Arrowhead Collecting On The Web" |
