They were made by Indians, they put them on the ends of arrows and spears……..

Joking, we find them a good bit at my place in the food plots close to creeks, find them
Most often after the plot has been disked and then a good rain, they stand up on little dirt pedestals, pretty cool to find and think about the time and skill to make them
To make it eaiser get a broom stick and drill a hole on the end of it and glue a nail so it sticks out a few inches and use that to touch everything that looks like an arrowhead on the ground, saves you from stopping over so many times

Looks like a pretty good haul for you today

Nice finds. I'd keep poking around in the area you found these. Should be able to locate more

You found a honey hole. As another guy said, work the dirt, wait for rain, and go picking. And start documenting them in some way. Where (exactly) and establish a pattern of where your find them, keep some kind of journal on them. Itemize them and name them, etc.

Start a collection rack with that kind of haul.

You should also be finding pottery sherds. Do the same.

And most importantly, don’t tell anyone else or expect the state to launch a full blown archeological dig site on your property should they find out.

Pretty standard stuff which is awesome. Congrats. My g grandparents and grandparents found them on our land in southern Mississippi. They would plant fields and then came rain and they’d find them. I’ve never found one sadly. Amazing how plentiful they are. Thanks and good luck on more. I had a great uncle who learned to make them and have one of his and a bunch of real ones.

100% don't tell the location, especially the government.

Man I would love to hunt arrow heads on your place in NE Mississippi sometimes. I used to find mine in plowed fields so often they were broken by the plow. You have an arrowhead a bunch of chips which are from making arrowheads, spears and axes etc from a Native American tribe. The big one looks like a spear tip to me.

I used to have a few dozen Clovis spear and arrow heads too which I didn’t know are actually from prehistoric times. The coolest things I had were a few battle aXe heads, some cool ceremonial arrowheads made of marble like stuff or vocanic rock and a stone used to grind corn that was decorated with dye etc.

If you find some there are always lots more, was probably an Indian camp or something at one time.

I don’t know anyway other that just digging to find arrowheads, I don’t think you can use metal detectors or anything like that to find them

When I lived in Indiana in my younger years along the Ohio river....we would find them. Found many over the years up there. There were several burial mounds in that part of the county. There were "PRO" hunters that would come out and search...you know...Indiana Jones looking guys. I do not know a lot about them but I have found a bunch in my time.

Nice finds!
Used to dig them a lot where end of ridges are close to water in central La.
Also when they started plowing and planting pine plantations opened up a whole new world for me but only have a small window of time to find them.
Of course farm fields and old dirt roads are good places. Right of ways and dirt roads especially washed out spots are good too.
