Hart they are very nice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
and the fact that you found them is great as well. If you can post a picture in the flint knapping thread for a reference as well. Thanks.

The point to the left of the quarter, do you know what kind it is?

Thanks for posting I love this stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have to go look through my reference books to figure out the time period. The area I found them was occupied for 1,000s of years and used the same couple flint quarries.

Hart, very cool. What part of NY are you in? The two broken points look like they might have came from the same site of query.

Nice finds! I would say the longer piece is only about half the overall length?

Its hard to say what size it was because the older the arrowheads are, at least around here, the bigger they were.

I stopped by my dad's house last night. I mentioned this to him and he said bring it on--no camera though. Doh.

Sumo,

I was told that there is 2 known flint quarries about 90 miles away from here.

Makes since then. Properties of the flint should be close.
