  • Can anyone help Id please

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and collecting arrowheads and I got these at a antique shop for a dollar each. What I want to find out are they real. The little one seems very weird shape in its profile when I look at edge ways on compared to a real Robinson point arrowhead I have. Thanks for any help fellow collectors. Scott

    Look legit Scott. Some arrowheads are just ugly. What area of the country are you in?

      Hi there gregz. Im in southern Illinois but I got them in cape girardeu at a antique mall, Missouri. So I assume they were found around there on a farm. Its about 89 miles south of St Louis

    Hey Scott - Agree with Greg. Some I have I thought were broken but turns out they were whole. Sometimes the point was worked on one edge which caused them to look retarded but they're authentic. By the By - if you're from North Carolina - they have a Edgefield Scraper that is somewhat similar to what you have.

    The Albany Knife is from the South Central area and the full page Edgefield Scraper is from Florida.

                Little one is exhausted/used up, they are mid/late archaic.

                  The broken stemmed point looks like a buck creek to me, which is a late archaic piece. That side notch looks like a super used up big Sandy variant.
