You could tell him that Gar Guy offered you $100,000 for the lot and all he has to do is get a Rodgers and German COA to seal the deal!

Well, just for the sake of resolution... It seems that unbeknownst to anyone except the ranch owner, and his only ranch hand, the owner periodically scatters "arrowheads" up and down the creek and creek bank for his great-grandchildren to find. Who knew? The guy that found them, along with the rest of us, had no idea. And apparently, less knowledge of indian artifacts than any of us would like to acknowledge. Oh well. The "artifacts" are being returned so they can be "discovered" by the Little Indiana Jones's of the family. Aside from a little pain in the pride department, no harm, no foul. Thanks to Gar Guy, Johnny, and others for the enlightenment.

Ha ha! I have a lease member that keeps threatening to do this to me. He says I spend more time looking for stupid rocks than hunting. I had him with me one day when I saw a point on the surface half covered. I started dusting it off and it was broke. Would have made a beautiful complete point! He now's spends alot more time looking at the ground.

Well I guess that is as cool of an ending as your gonna find. I hope you someday find a treasure trove of real artifacts.

Ok folks. I Pmed the OP but others seemed concerned that Im bashing here. Im not. Here is a little education.

First off.. The Thunderbird never actually existed in ancient America. The first flint one were made by a guy in Oklakoma in the late 50s to early 60s. Several ended up in prominent collections before the guy confessed to making them. They are works of art and quite valuable however this one is poorly made and the fresh hinges make it obvious that it isnt old.

Now for the points. They are novelty points made to sell in gift shops. You can buy a bag of 50 of them off ebay for 19.99 . The clear indicators are that they were sawed and ground into shape and then a minimum of flaking done to make them look like points. The material certainly isnt native to Texas nor is that even a point TYPE that existed in Texas.

Im not just a naysayer guys. I love authentic artifacts. These are someones prank on the OP.

My hats off to both of you, and don't feel bad Mike, i would have been fooled too...

[GarGuy]

Well hey, at least thats one heck of a buffalo tooth.

[HoustonR6ryda]

I know

Sorry, I really don't believe those points are authentic. I don't know about the eagle but the points scream fake to me.

maybe he's a dealer of some kind

[Tony Pic]

I was all excited with this thread...Now I am smarter also. Thanks Garguy!
Good prank and too bad it ain't true.

[GarGuy]

I'll give you $4.00 for all of them

How many of those will you buy for a buck each?
