[QUOTE="Teacher, post: 5045771, member: 11300"] When my father was a young boy farming with his family in the 1930's he picked up tons of arrowheads and never thought another thing about them. Some of the unusual ones he hung onto and later put them up just to keep them as mementos of his early days. I grew up seeing these occasionally and they fascinated me to the point that I became addicted to searching for points in all the fields near us. When my father passed several years ago, I went through his things he had put up and found several points from his earlier days. It was a surprise to see a couple of fluted Clovis points in there among some of the points he had saved as a child. I have no idea just where he found them, but I am at least glad he kept them as he really had no interest in them. He often told stories of picking a point up and striking it against another point to watch sparks fly from the flint. I just wonder how many of those he struck together were fluted points and were broken as he hit them together. Back when he was a child, producing food to survive on was far more important than picking up an Indian Rock as he used to call them. Alot of points now days wind up in museums and are enjoyed by folks who would never have an opportunty to see them. Might want to consider this option, or either sell to a private collector and save for a rainy day fund for your family. Just my $0.02 worth. [/QUOTE]
