Hi guys; I'm new. I was walking in my back yard this afternoon with my sons and found this beautiful quartz arrowhead on the ground. We live in central NC.
Does anyone know how old it might be? Our back yard is absolutely chock full of quartz. It looks like I'm not the first inhabitant to notice. ;O) Now I have to find at least one more (I have two boys!).

Hello, what group/tribe/clan of people would have created yours? Mine seems to either a cruder or more beat up version of yours. It does not appear to be yellow though

Guilfords were way before "tribes" Middle Archic Period 6,000 to 4,000 years before present. I would call you point an archaic knife it's a bit beat up to type.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to reply. It does not have a Diamond shaped cross section as your excellent samples show. It is most similar to your third pic down, rounded. Yet still mine is more elongated. I have just attached the best pic(IMO) I have of it. It is laying on the back of a Casio Scientific Calculator.
Thank You and best regards,
Timothy

very nice crystal points indeed , very nice !! , i have a few in the collection ,, u guys from the carolinas know ,,, so much material here ,(( but just don't flack like the chert does ))..
means there are fewer arrowheads , like in the upper great lakes area, and texas of course !
but work hard at it enough and we know what can happen !! this was last weekend spent 2 days walking
these hill's i will not again attempt to get so much stuff out , even though i;m on a dirt bike .
had to be 80lbs on my back ,
but the next few weeks will be fun ,, yea should see all the blades and scrapers .
oh yeah about 6 hills look like this .
p.s. go carolina !! lol
