Artifacts

I have spent countless hours searching cliffs, river beds, fields and anywhere that there might be a lost arrowhead but to little avail.  The ones that I have found could or could not be artifacts.  Oh well, the search continues.

Below you can find some of our finds as well as local points.

Here is one of the points found on our farm in Eatonia,  Saskatchewan, Canada.  It appears to be done with completely percussion flaking and contains numerous scars.  Collector: Clint Hayes Oxbow - 4,000 years old I recently found this in a storage box.  I remember picking it up in California or Arizona as a little kid as I liked the stone.  Closer examination reveals many flakes removed and platforms prepared.  I could not believe my discovery;  An uncompleted arrowhead! This is one of our best finds, discovered on our Pasteur in Saskatchewan.  This ancient hammer has a perfect circle around it, worn down by the strapping.  Collector: Clint & Gerald Hayes

This is an intact arrowhead found on my land in April, 2005. Note a gopher dug it up.

This is a local tomahawk head found (April 2005) on the farm in LaPorte, SK. Both edges have been ground down though. Any theories please contact me. This is a neat find as it is a start of a hammerhead that was never finished. What happened to the maker?
