"There were tribes living here in our area during the Paleon Era, which was 10,000 years ago, but I doubt if you could now find anything from then; next is the Archaic Era, which was 4,000 years ago, and it would be rare to find anything for then; most recent is the Woodland Era, which goes back 2,000 years, and artifacts can be found from then."
"In reality, what we commonly refer to as arrowheads are in reality probably spearheads," Snyder said. "Most of the artifacts that still can be found in our area probably predate before the Vikings got here, which is believed to be in the 1300s.
Like all bowhunters, Ken Snyder eagerly anticipates the arrival of fall and Pennsylvania's archery deer season.
Unlike most bowhunters, however, Snyder has a year-round interest in archery that goes beyond hunting and participating in 3-D shoots. Literally, he truly digs the hobby.
Snyder, Leck Kill, is among the ranks of a relatively small, albeit devoted, group of hobbyists involved in collecting arrowheads. These amateur archeologists, for the most part, are not involved in the activity for profit, but rather for the personal satisfaction of uncovering the remnants of long-forgotten inhabitants of North America.
