A little huntin' in the Magnolia State

[Beep-a-Cheep]

Well I had the privilege of being able to travel down to Mississippi recently. Of course, I searched every field I could along the river. A little bit of green stuff was starting to grow in the fields but I managed to find these little beauties. It took five days of searching but was well worth it. I am especially excited about the (bird points?) smaller arrowheads.
I have some pictures of my total finds of the trip (arrowheads, some pottery chips, etc.) and another photo showing all of my finds to date. Also, let me know your thoughts on the round markings on one of the points, could they be some sort of fossils? Thank You! Beep-a-Cheep

You did pretty good at those places, you will have to go back for sure. Do not see the piece you think may have fossils. They may very well be,it's not uncommon to see fossils in artifacts. Maybe you could take a close pic so we can see it better.

The photo of the point with the small "circles" is oolitic chert. The Ooliths are small grains of calcium carbonate concretions that usually are found in limestone. Sometimes there is mineral replacement, chert or dolomite, which ends up surrounding the small grains.

You made some nice finds in 5 days! Congrats.
