  • Is this real? What is it?

    Hi,

    My son found this arrowhead while walking in a local park in the DC metro area. He said it was buried with an edge sticking out. It seems to be in such perfect condition that we are wondering if it is a modern plant.

    He’s going to be disappointed if it is a ‘fake’ but better to know. If it is real can anyone tell us anything about it, we love to know what rock it is made from.

    Finding the arrowhead has peaking his interest in all things Native American. If he decides to start collecting how can you tell real arrowhead from modern reproductions. They all look realistic to us on E-bay

    Thanks

        Need some really clear photos of notches, the photo with notches is blurry. Looks a lot like the Jasper the India points are made from

          Better photos helped. Photo 2 looks like the import point material from over seas that sell on ebay. Sorry.

            Thanks for all your thoughts. Consensus seems to be that it is modern. Attaching some additional photos of close up. Not sure why someone would seed modern arrow heads for innocents to find. My son is a little disappointed but is still happy with his find.

              That’s strange, someone would have to buy the point, plant it in the ground, and wait for anybody to find it, sometime in the future, and hope to be around for the laughing, ?. Was it found near a pathway where someone was guaranteed to find it ?..Fake or real, he still found it, its still collectible...Now get out there and find more... if someone planted it maybe there’s more, in which case he could have a collection of em...Sounds like fun....Welcome from Florida..

                Lost or dropped or planted your son found it . But the sad news it looks just like the point from India that I have in front of me . Made from some real nice Agate ? Your notches might be a little deeper .
