Look what i found

[klm5121]

I recently found this case with these arrow heads in it. I found out my grandfather had made the wooden case, but i have no idea where the arrow heads came from. My grandfather passed away almost ten years ago already... and nobody in the family seems to know much about this artifact. Just thought I would share, I know i was excited when i found it the other day.

Nice display. Those look big are they spearheads or do I just not have a frame of reference to compare them to?

[DVSHUNTER]

nice find.

[klm5121]

i am sorry these are spearheads

[DannyBows]

That's really nice! Your Grandfather did a great job on that frame, and those Spear Heads are cool. Cherish it! Was your Grandfather involved in Archery, or maybe he just liked the history of the heads?

Those are sweet! We find big stuff like that here, but not in that good of shape. We think they are knives?

[J.Williams]

Very nice! My grandfather had a HUGE collection of arrowheads, spear points, stone hawk heads, and other native American tools, but almost all of them were stolen shortly after he died. I only have a few, including one of the tiniest arrowheads I've ever seen. I doubt it had a practical purpose. Grandpa always thought it was probably either someone showing off or that it was for a kid's arrow.

Thanks for sharing, it brings back memories of walking along with my grandpa while he found arrowheads. I sucked at it, but he could spot one from the seat of a moving tractor. I remember riding with him while he cultivated and having him stop the tractor, climb down and pick up an arrowhead. Sometimes only a bit of it was showing in the dirt. He would sometimes point at it from the tractor, but I could never see it.

It is interesting to ponder what your grandfather thought of these artifacts.  Obviously they were significant to him.  It speaks of his respect for things many people often overlook or forget.  I guess that's evidenced by the fact that no one else had taken interest in them like you have.  Perhaps there is a connection of sorts in your mind-set and values to those of your grandfather.  At least I would like to see it that way.  

At any rate it is a very impressive find and displaying them is a great way to cherish the memory of your grandad.

Thanks everyone. I know when i was younger my father and I would use to look for arrow heads, but as I got older that kind of came to a stop. I know my grandfather had a lot of Indian artifacts, i still have a few of them, like paint pots and an axe head, but a lot of them were lost somewhere. I know when my grandfather hunted he hunted with a recurve and my fathers first bow was a Bear Kodiak, however he is shooting a compound now. I have only been shooting traditional for a few years but my dad has not showed any interest in shooting traditional with me but he fully supports me shooting recurves.
