Description

The listing, Arrowhead has ended.

This Is an almost perfect Schugtown Point.
The Schugtown Points are very rare & unique and are found only in a small area about 7 miles south of my house near the small community of Schugtown, Arkansas. Schugtown points are often misidentified as Big Sandy Points. Although very similar, the major difference is in the notches at the base of the arrowheads. The notches on a Schugtown point are more rectangular in shape, as opposed to the notches on a Big Sandy point having a little more rounded shape.
This was given to me by a co worker a few years ago & is not a personal find of mine. He knew that I was a collector & just handed it to me one morning. I have never had it authenticated, so I can not vouch for this as being an authentic Native American relic. I do know that it came from the only area in the US that this type of point has ever been found.
Anyway...... enough for the history lesson......LOL
Good luck to everyone that bids & feel free to ask any questions.

Questions & Comments

I love arrowheads! I am from Ohio and have found several over the years.

Me too. I have a large collection, and most of them are personal finds. It really gives me a charge when I make a good find.

Mar 17th, 2010 at 2:37:40 PM PDT by

this would be nice for my collection i have a few hundered arrowheads i look for them every summer im in upstate ny, mostly iriquoi ones here i think

To me, there's nothing like making a good find. There are so few people today that will take the time to hunt for these relics anymore. We have some pure hacks in this area, that will go out with shovels & dig up a farmers field :(( & most of the landowners in our area have posted their property due to these inconsiderate folks. I have two hot spots that I hunt now. One is right here on the homeplace and the other is about 30 miles from here on a friends place. I find alot of broken pottery here by the house, but the plows have taken their toll on the pottery and the points and it rare to find anything that's still intact.
Good Hunting

Mar 20th, 2010 at 12:20:59 PM PDT by

Congrats on your win & thanks for your bids.
I'll try to get the brokens points and flakes listed tomorrow.

Mar 20th, 2010 at 7:44:25 PM PDT by

Hey ya'll...........
Who Want's What......???
I have a large assortment of 100% authentic broken points & chips...... or 2 of the most gorgeous reproductions that you've have ever seen...... SNOW WHITE
Let me know what you want me to list first. I'll only list one at a time on the points.
I will personally guarantee the broken points and flakes as being 100% Genuine Native American Relics. These broken point and chips have ALL been personal finds of mine & I will stand good as to their being authentic.
The reproductions will be as stated....... Reproductions!...... But Gorgeous …... Snow white reproductions, one being approx 3” long and a Spearpoint that's approx 6” long. Either would make a great center piece.
Let me know what ya'll want and I'll get the next auction started.
Good night
Ron

I kept getting an error message when I tried to leave you feedback for the sticker, but I finally figured out how to leave you a positive.
I'm a cropduster & my season is starting to get fired up now so I'll have less time to spend on the computer, but I will continue to watch your auctions & will list a few artifacts for everyone to bid on.

Mar 19th, 2010 at 9:27:41 PM PDT by

well good luck and I enjoy seeing people on here offering alsome things and I love arrow heads brings back a lot of good memoires. Thanks again ahead of time for putting your arrow heads from your personal collection.

Mar 19th, 2010 at 11:16:10 AM PDT by

Thanks.
If your ever passing through the Paragould, AR area, drop me an email and we'll go scratch through the dirt and see if we can find some rocks.

Mar 19th, 2010 at 7:43:21 PM PDT by

thanks for ur respones n sorry to hear about ur situation and I found two arrowheads with my grandpa he has a small farm with a garden and we would go through the dirt after tilling it. It's a lot of fun but since I live at an apartment I can't do it any more.

Mar 18th, 2010 at 9:12:20 PM PDT by

Your welcome. I'm fortunate to work in agriculture in N.E. Arkansas rice country. I watch to see who is leveling their farms, and will go out after a heavy rainfall and spend hours walking and looking at the ground. There are some folks here that will actually walk the muddy ground barefoot and they find more than anyone else. I've seen folks sitting on the tailgate of their pickup....smiling.... showing off a perfect rock..... and their foot dripping blood from stepping on a point. I'm not that hardcore, but I miss many good finds that are just below the surface.

Mar 18th, 2010 at 10:33:44 PM PDT by

not to be rude or any like that but how long have u been collecting them? My prandpa had a lot of them they where found on his farm that he had n they where sposes to go to me after he pasted away but the my dad's side won't let me have them.

Mar 18th, 2010 at 8:41:06 AM PDT by

I hunted them a few times as a kid (40 yrs ago) but never found much more than a few chips and flakes and just kind of lost interest. I've been an avid hunter for about 8-10 years now, after I stumbled on a good find. I hate to hear about your granpa's collection. I have a photo album, that my dad had in his possession when he was killed, and the woman that he was married to at the time refuses to return it to me. Some people are just a**es, but I figure that all things will come full circle with time :)
Thanks for your interest and your bids.

Mar 18th, 2010 at 9:55:55 AM PDT by

Where in AR did you get it (where was it unearthed?)

Mar 13th, 2010 at 3:16:34 PM PST by

It was given to me in Paragould, AR, (about 7 miles north of Schugtown, but I don't have any other information as to where it was found. The fellow that gave it to me has moved away & I have no idea how to contact him. I truely have no idea as to yea or ney on the value of this one. I can say that there are some folks in this area that have mastered the art of flint knapping (making arrowheads) & there are some of these folks that have passed off modern points as being authentic :(
A good authentication costs approx $30, & if it's authentic, it's worth about $30-$50. But if it a reproduction, it's only worth a couple of bucks, & that's why I've never sent it off to authenticate it.

Mar 13th, 2010 at 5:31:35 PM PST by

Thank you for looking at my arrowheads and providing some helpful information on their types.

Mar 16th, 2010 at 11:25:44 AM PDT by

Your very welcome. I wish I would have be able to be of more help, but maybe you can find someone that if more familier with that type of point than me.

Mar 17th, 2010 at 2:34:59 PM PDT by

Thanks. I will be glad to know the classification of it.

Mar 15th, 2010 at 7:42:03 PM PDT by

That's a great point. I sent you an email with all I can figure it to be,
Thanks for sharing it with me.

Mar 16th, 2010 at 6:40:35 AM PDT by

LOL! A friend's husband did that for a nephew of mine when we all went fossil hunting last year.
Thanks for the info on my arrowhead.
May I send a picture to you of my Murfreesboro find?
I spotted it as it stuck a little out of the ground--all because of that red coloring that it has. I had scoured the field and was heading back to the store/museum to leave, going diagonally across the field for one last look. It was a moment I had hoped for since high school days when a guy brought his arrowhead collection in for us to see. That same guy, three or four years later, took me shark tooth hunting near Malvern, AR.

Mar 15th, 2010 at 7:43:45 AM PDT by

I'd like to take a look at your find. I just sent you a PM with my email address :)

Mar 15th, 2010 at 8:02:17 AM PDT by

Please continue to let know when you list more as I want to start a collection and hand it down to my children with some lessons on idians and than they be handed down to my grandchildren (if they ever make me one) hopeully not soon LOL!

Mar 14th, 2010 at 6:41:26 PM PDT by

Hi J,
I appreciate your interest & will let you know when I've listed any native american relic or artifact. I have just spent the weekend with 3 of my grandchildren & they are very interested in these rocks. I dug out a point and asked Zack, (the oldest (7) if he wanted to go looking for arrowheads...... & he hit the floor smiling. We walked through the garden spot.... & I distracted him long enough to pitch the point about 5-6 feet in front of him.
As he walked the row he spotted the point & was LIVID.
It gave him the bug....... & it's all he could talk about this weekendI
l'll go to my grave & never tell him different :)

Mar 14th, 2010 at 7:16:05 PM PDT by

thanks for letting me know I am bidding on this one!

Mar 14th, 2010 at 12:49:26 PM PDT by

your welcome & thanks for the bid

Mar 14th, 2010 at 6:36:48 PM PDT by

Hey Waterfall...... I searched your listia wins.... til I found the point you bought from listia....... I think it is a gary point...They're not worth big bucks, but from what I could tell from the pic.... you have a larger than normal Gary & the zones hit perfectly. The Garys ranged from Tx, OK, KS, SD, MO, AR, LA, AL, IL.
Their great points...... but just not worth much :(

Mar 13th, 2010 at 11:53:00 PM PST by

Thanks. I don't know if its bright red shade would be a help or not.
I found one at Murfreesboro at a place that is an historical site.
Another one that I have, I got off Listia from a guy who stated that
he found it on the ground in Missouri. I don't doubt his story. It has
the same (I guess I'll call it) patena (I hope I spelled that right) as
my original one, only it is larger.

Mar 13th, 2010 at 6:46:01 PM PST by

I have several points in my collection that are made from very similar stone. Actually have a few that are pink & they are personal finds that I have made while rock hunting. Color is actually a big plus when dealing with authentic relics & is a great help while hunting for them too. The color contrast from the dirt make them very easy to spot & find.
Have you been able to identify the point that you found at Murfreesboro or the one you got from Listia?
I'm an avid rock hound...... but far from an expert.
I do it because I get really charged up when I make a good find.
I have every color from gloss black to snow white & just about everything in between. It still amazes me to look at the stones under a magnifying glass & see the detail that went into making them. These were the tools that enabled these people to provide for their family. The better the points..... the more they prospered.
