  • Gifting a foreign friend some arrowheads, need ID help please

    I'm sending a care package to a friend in London and want to include some arrowheads, since I'm always telling him about hunting and showing off my finds. It'd be great if I could send them with IDs, so I'm asking for y'all lovely folks help.

    They're numbered in the pictures so it's easier, please speak up even if you can only ID a couple. The last two were given to me and they've got dirt on them but I've always felt they're probably fake but idk.

    Any help is much appreciated, friends!

    I can't name them but the ones you think may be fake (16 and 17?) appear authentic to me and are actually the best of the bunch even though 17 is missing the tip.

      Not familiar with S. Carolina artifacts but I'll take a shot... 2, 4, 5, 6, 14 & 15 Savannah River. 7, 8, 9, 16 Morrow Mountain. 1 & 3 Kirks. 11 & 17 Bolen subtype. These are just guesses.

        That makes me a bit salty lol... 16 and 17 were the only ones gifted to me, from someone who's family had a plantation (with slaves!) for 200+ years, but it's hard to even dream points like that are even real around here after over 350 years of European settlement. Most everything that big and clean has already been found if you're surface hunting, which I am. :/

        Oh well I'm glad the concensus is they're real, but I'm salty they're the 2 in my collection I didn't personally find. (I ended up sending everything but those 2)

          Number 13 kinda reminds me of them. Good info here:
