To the Detecting Guys: 
Hey, dudes, I am still super pumped about my brother's Spanish wilver find yesterday, but I wanted to let him have his glory yesterday before I posted my artifact recoveries. On Saturday, I decided to do some treasure hunting at the "Old Colonial Road."
My goal for the day was to explore new ground and excavate a King George coppa.
So, being all juiced up with super high passion, I juiced up my analog machine by turning it on and juiced it up some more with a professional ground balance. 
The John Walter-mode in my mind was already scanning the ground for pottery! I looked like this...my headin swinging back and forth while looking at the ground, my coil sweeps were super slow and professional, and my right ear was tilted a little bit to my speaker (John never wore headphones, but he did tell my uncle one day, "I just listen for that super faint signal. If I hear something good, I put my ear closer to the speaker. Yup, yup.") 
While hearing many iron signals in a certain area, I started to grid the area off. To make a long story kind of short, I was sweeping with the passion when I came across an artifact on the surface of the doyt. Indeed, it was an ancient Native American artifact. Dudes, I am starting to get the arrowhead fever now. I guess it takes some skill to metal detect and arrowhead hunt at the same time. Attention: Danger, do not try this at leisure. If so, one could experience a severe headache or possibly death from this skill being too difficult to skillfully complete.
So, being all hyped up about my ancient artifact, I started to focus on my signals and scan the ground for some pottery...and arrowheads. Attention: Danger, if you are scanning for pottery and listening for signals, I would advise against scanning for arrowheads. Three tasks at once can be harmful to your brain. Consult your doctor on this issue. Remember, you aren't KirkPA!
At that moment in time, I walked up a row and looked down...another ancient artifact on the surface. This one got my blood a pumpin'! To make a long story short enough for some of you dudes to peruse, I will finish my expatiation on the topic of my treasure hunting adventure.
Oh, I found a couple more after that! Check out the large one...I am thinking it could be a Native American tool. Any ideas on what it is, guys?
Note: Since I am a novice in the identification of Native American artifacts, it was difficult for me to realllly pinpoint the era, but I think I may have done it correctly. The one at the left in the middle of the picture was the thriller of the day. After some rasearch on it, I think it may be from the Late Archaic period (3,000-1,700 B.C.)
...mine is 1-1/4 inches long! Here is a link: http://www.oplin.org/point/identify/bifacial/points/corner/brewcnpt.html
The one right in the middle, I believe, is from the Late Woodland era (500-900 A.D.)...mine is 1-1/4 inches long. Here is a link: http://www.oplin.org/point/identify/bifacial/points/straight/jacksbld.html
It definitely is a thrill to be the 1st dude to hold an artifact in over 5,000 years! You should try it some time!!!
Keep the Colonial passion high!

P.S. All of these were found about 100 yards away from my Levanna point!
