I had an easy answer for that! A good friend of mines daughter found her first arrowhead on a local river recently where ive had many failed attempts and many explorations She was super excited about it!! Her mother knew exactly who to ask about it and identify her first proud find. I didnt hesitate on it and she kind of had her own doubts already. My response was basically, you can tell her what you want but i wont break her heart but from my experience and a little knowledge on them, id say definitely a preform! It was worked down to the desired shape and size but never made it to the knapping process. And of course i knew exactly what it was but shes a child. I told her that next time i saw her id bring her one of mine and asked what color. White she chose so i have nice white Gary in my truck now to give her and ill bring her another one of my many whatnots and i set out a quartz crystal for her too. Hope it will brighten her day though and spark interest in the hobby. Possibly take her out to one of my spots one day and i can guarantee her a no doubt 100% authentic first arrowhead, Excuse me! First if you dont count the preform. Leave that up to her. Sometimes a tall tale, or half truth, or what i call made up true story can be a good thing in my opinion. Any thoughts? Do i deserve a pat on the back or should people just throw rocks and preforms at me? Either way i dont feel bad about it. Here is her first arrowhead. Would have loved to seen it after knapped and worked to perfection! Also jealous because i havent found anything on this river 😏
