| Another Outstanding Arrowhead Found On The Internet, By Wandering The Fields And Streams Of eBay. From Northern California, Where It Was Discovered In 2008. |
This Gunther style arrowhead was found near
Shasta Lake south of Mt. Shasta in Siskiyou
County of northern California in the spring of
2008 by Jennifer Peterson. Her eBay ID is
"angelfaerieland".
This translucent gray obsidian arrowhead is
just 1-1/8" long by 13/16" wide. Note the fine
serrations along each edge of the blade. There
are 17 serrations on the right edge, and 17 along
the left edge. This makes the serrations less than
1/16" apart, measured from tip to tip. It means
that the serration notches are each
about 1/32" wide. Imagine
the size of the tool used
to make these tiny
serration notches!

| By comparison, the base notches, made for binding the point to the arrow shaft, are almost huge. Of course, looking at the small size of the base tang, we have to wonder how this tiny point was attached and bound to an arrow shaft. Not to mention how large or small in diameter that arrow shaft itself would be. The inset photos show this arrowhead at about twice actual size, for reference and an appreciation of the wickedly delicate nature of the needle tip of the point. Thank you, Jennifer Peterson and Pat Welch, for making so many quality, authentic, ancient arrowhead and dart points from your extensive northern California and Oregon Artifact Collection available to an ever- growing number of appreciative and enthusiastic "arrowhead collectors on the web". |

You can do it, too. Every month in "Arrowhead
Collecting On The Web" we show you how your
mouse can do the searching on the world wide
web. We bring you information and links to
on-line sources of authentic, ancient arrowheads.
We talk about how to tell if an arrowhead is
ancient, or if it's a modern reproduction, and we
give you links to reputable authenticators who
can provide experienced, scientific examinations
of arrowheads to verify and certify the
authenticity of stone points and other tools
you collect. I found this ancient arrowhead,
shown here, on the world wide web,
although it was originally found in
Modoc County of northern California
in the 1960's by Pat Welch.
I purchased if from Pat's daughter,
Jennifer Peterson, in an auction on
eBay in November 2009.
The eBay ID which Jennifer uses
