Thought a collection thread would be cool since weve all spent hours and hours searching for clues from the past. Post up your pics here....Arrowheads, Civil War etc. Whatever you collect!!!
Arrowheads-n-such....

Look forward to seeing yalls! Post them on up fellas and Thanks
 
Wow! Nice collections! I'm working on starting an arrowhead one, but I have a nice mineral collection as well...I've had help from my geologist uncle. Favorite is a green fluorite from Europe (forgot the exact location at the moment). Also got a meteorite from Russia (not the latest one haha).
 
Makes me want to start looking for arrowheads more often. I have a small handful of points I have found, nothing exciting...

Got plenty of sheds, deer jaws, a couple old bottles, an indian scraper of some sort. Working on building the collection, especially the sheds at the moment....


Here is some of the stuff I have right now. It's a bit dark because the overhead light is broken, I'm looking at what to replace it with. Only have the grow lights right now

This one was crazy...was in Georgia Civil War relic hunting with my uncle. Got a signal on my detector...start digging and noticed the dirt changed to black about 6" down. Out comes an arrowhead! A few flint chips...and then ANOTHER arrowhead. Two in one single hole...and the kicker? A dropped Civil War minie ball that was originally giving the signal. An overlapping camp site hundreds of yrs apart.

I sold most all my collection of stuff. All I have left are memories and pictures. I said I would never sell anything but when a man gets in a tight spot, sometimes he has to do whats in the best interest of the family.

This is my collection. I just started a couple years ago. I usually just go a couple times a year with a couple of buddies. They have been doing it for years.
