Congrats on the find and very neat. If I was a young boy again -- I would be all over that river bed -- besides fishing it.
Arrowhead found on my property this fall , just thought I'd share

Well to tell the truth I'm not a young boy, 54 , but my wife says I act like big kid . But when I go fishing in the river I put on waders and usually take a few minutes to see if anything on the banks has been exposed. I get some real nice northern pike and small mouth bass in the river .
I hear you, I am 52 and my wife says the same thing -- Lol. When I was a kid growing up there was a AAA rated Pennsylvania trout stream/creek called Haycreek. Myself and friends my age would build dams, look for crayfish -- have crayfish battles and of course fish the heck out of it that was stocked multiple times a year by the Game Commission. Awesome memories and I would never change a thing. Happy for you having the property with the river flowing through it. As long as the river stays away from the house -- you are blessed!!!!
Oh that would be a real bad ending for sure!
More likely a descendant of the maker.
In my area there was a tribe known as the Susquehanock. They lived along the Susquehanna river. Father of my friend was a bit of an expert on them. He used to spend his free time excavating arrow heads and such. He had a room full of bushel baskets of arrow heads. One day I was on the river bank with my son. He looked down and picked up a stone ax head. I will look for that and post it if I find it.
Bushel baskets ! An a expert and a hoarder.
Yeah alot of pirates and other people didn't die from the surgery but from the infection afterwards.
I dug this up in my garden in NJ about 50 years ago, about 1/3 mile from the Raritan Bay. It was about 10" down where the soil turned from brown to a yellowish sand. It was dated by an expert on the Lenni Lenape Indians as 6,000 to 8,000 years old. Because it lacks a sharp edge and fits the hand so well, I believe it was used for grinding corn as opposed to a weapon.

I have a nearly identical specimen, coincidentally also found by my grandfather working a farm. He was walking a field he had just plowed near Frankfurt South Dakota.
