    That's what I thought and still kinda do..... but there is no hole for rope/string. It's rounded and solid.

    A good friend just sent me 108 arrowheads from his fathers estate. His dad found them in Ohio and Kentucky in the 1940's. I have 10 cigar boxes like this:

    I showed them to my wife's brother the other day. He has their Dad's collection which were found on Wisconsin farm land. He let me take a pic of them:

    He has been offered big bucks for his collection but wants to keep them in the family.

    The one next to the coin might be a fetiche. I have one shape like a bird. Native Americans carried them for good luck.

    This is a arrowhead my mom found when I was a kid. My dad collected for most of his life and this was his favorite. I sent this pic to Woodstock and this is what my ideal steel was made around. 70024239-01B3-44BD-88DF-6EA1337A4C72.png 8419AB23-A80B-4D06-B213-5DEFE8DA8A30.png
