Thread: Silver Arrow head??? Found in colonial pasture.

    Exclamation Silver Arrow head??? Found in colonial pasture.

    I'm am sitting in a restaurant getting something to eat after my hunt I just had. I couldn't wait to post it until I got home because I'm so interested in it! I was metal detecting my half cent cite house built in 1750 and I was hitting the pasture. I got a good signal and pulled out the arrow head. At first I thought oh cool I found a arrow head in my hole! But then the original signal was gone...I then took another look at the arrow head and saw it has silver on it. I am so stumped to why there is silver on it shaped as a arrow head. Could this be very old?? Did a Indian wear this on a necklace? Any ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated!! I will post pictures of it cleaned up when I get home!

    Could have been part of a necklace or charm bracelet maybe?

    After some cleaning I'm thinking it's not as old as I anticipated. Probably 1920's pendant of an arrow head someone found. I still like it though!

    Nice arrowhead. Unique find. I'd prob put my bet on it being a souvenir item. Say from the grand canyon area. Some arrowheads they sell are legit, some are replicas.
