The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Farmers seem to be prepping for corn and peanuts in VA over the last week. Lots of fields getting sprayed and turned over.
Anyone looking for points? Been on several good hunts inbetween the rains. Wow! Those are much better than we find here in PA. Lisa & I search the plowed fields & stream beds at low water
TILL THAT DAY.....

I found two in my yard with my metal detector. I found out that later natives made some out of metal such as copper. The larger copper one I found is for a spear, I was told by an expert on Indian lore.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

The red point on the arrowhead is more likely from a mineral causing the red color.
I have several chert rocks I picked up in the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming, all different colors, yellow, red, dark gray, white. My professional geologist buddy to me it's caused by whatever mineral is present when the rock was formed. These rocks are the size of a big baked potato. Down here that red is likely caused by heat-treating the chert.

That Red tip is awesome on that point. Believe that may indicate that it was heat treated at some point??? Nope, that is just normal color banding for jasper. At least it looks like jasper to me. I have some that look like that with yellow and red jasper. Some of my Kalapuya points I've found in plowed fields:
