 | Wow, those look primitive, even by native arrowhead standards. Neat stuff!

| Hmmmm.....based on initial observation, I'd have to say that quarter isn't more than 40 years old. The arrowheads, though, are frikkin cool!

| And 25 cents, by today's monetary standard, is pretty primitive also.

| Great find mate! Look at the workmanship in the second one especially! My father (who lives in ireland) found a beautiful stone axehead on his land, absolutely perfect condition (not used much, it seems). He showed me where he found it, and after a look around I managed to find a saddle-quern!(large stone, worked flat on one side, for grinding wheat and corn). Both are now in the National Museum in Dublin, the axehead supposedly 5-6000 years old, and the saddle-quern around 4000. When you look at the workmanship in these things, it's amazing to think they achieved with flints and stones what today would be a hell of a job even with modern power tools... |
