Anyone know anything about stone arrowheads? I'm seeing prices anywhere from $20 to $12,000+
Are these arrowheads worth anything? I figured not more than 10-20 each if that.  Bonus arrowhead song  Creek Sessions: Tyler Childers - Banded Clovis |

I think they're good for about 10 years in a federal pound-you-in-the-azz prison if you don't carry a CDIB card plus some other paperwork.

Maybe $8-9 for your nicest point, the rest $2-$3.

My ex-wife's late uncle was a farmer in northeastern Ohio. He had about a thousand Riker cases full of arrowheads, spear points, and tomahawk heads that he had plowed up in his corn fields over the decades. All of the farmers in that area had tons of stuff like that.
I think they have to be exceptionally fine and old, made of clear obsidian, very unusual, etc. in order to have much material value. |

As others have posted, I check out my farmer friends fields, after the spring plowing, after it rains.
Makes them easier to spot. I don't know the value of mine other than it is a great get out of the house and exercise hobby. |

Some of them can be worth a lot of money, clovis, Cumberland, quad, beaver lakes, lost lakes, dovetails, pine trees, kirks, etc..... Unfortunately, you have none of those.

To get the high value the points would need to be perfect, made of a certain stone, and be not of a common tribe. Clovis points will bring the upper values you are seeking. Think rare, and that is what brings the cash. However anything that goes into my collection is staying no matter what its worth.

We have hundreds of those things we've collected from our lower fields over the years. Fresh plowed + rain = dozens of them for a 10 minute walk through there. There are even more in the cave when the river is low.
It's pretty cool to think about how many Indians must have lived there to generate that many arrow/spear heads. I'm sure at least half or more were fuckups, as most aren't intact. |

I would have assumed clovis, but I will take your word for it. Its been decades since Ive done any serious research or hunting. My best points are a white lost lake and a quad. Ive had a few heartbreakers through the years but those are my best 2 finds. |

If it’s a perfect undamaged Clovis point it will fetch lots of money.

LOL that explains a lot! Around here the most common (if there is such a thing) points are cumberlands, clovis, quads, lost lakes, etc.... Ive never heard of anybody finding a folsom! Ive got a really good friend that's the same as a son to me now that found a Cumberland in his back yard when he was 8 or 10 yrs old while digging out a spot to put an above ground swimming pool. He sold it to an old man here that's well known in the artifact circles for just enough to pay for the pool! Poor kid got screwed bad! Ive held that point in my hand and its a 10K rock. Kid got 900 I think.

As to where I heard it: I heard this from an obviously chemically (or alcoholically) dependent Native American man who stumbled into a junk shop I was browsing through on US 69, directly across the highway from the Love's truck stop in Chouteau, OK. The (obviously inebriated) Native American man went on to tell the junk shop owner that he couldn't be in possession of several arrow heads he had on display and how the owner was subject to federal prosecution for just owning them, and much more trouble for trying to sell them. Then, he proceeded to tell the shop owner that he would be more than happy to sell them for him, because he was a Native American and he could own eagle feathers and other restricted items...and he wanted the used portable electric generator the shop had for sale as compensation for his efforts. We got a lot of them around here...this is Oklahoma, you know. |

A former neighbor of mine had an uncle with farming property close to where the Susquehana River dumps into the Chesapeake Bay. He told me they would haul away potato sacks full of arrowheads and spear points after plowing the fields every year. Indians lived on that flat field for hundreds of years fishing, spearing and gathering oysters. I would like to find just one. Quote HistoryQuoted:
