So then I'm guessing you probably paid $300 for the bunch? Id say that is a typical price at the biggest best auction house around here but arrowheads are tricky as they are quite often modern or reproductions or at least they can be & it's very hard to tell the difference. If they are all to perfect & undamaged then you really have to wonder but if only some are pristine & others are damaged or well used looking then I feel safer about em. Arrowheads are still being made today & they aren't worth squat! Real old larger spear heads & axe heads are great finds & worth a lot more than most arrowheads!

yup inspector you got that right....ya gotta know a little bout em...i know the field they came from and have founds lots of em there myself...back in the day..some of the bottoms of the ohio river, there were lots of mounds...its believed the moundbuilders were here for thousands of years before their disappearance..so they left lotsa artifacts....some of the pricey, fancy points are skeptics, but these are authentic and genuine..theres collectors that need these types......an experts gonna ck em out for me..and id em .....its a rule of thumb round here that theyre worth bout 10$ an inch....the knappers are good but its hard to fake the patina...the tools are sought after and some flake blades from certain material brings in lots of interest...i agree with you...

$10 an inch sounds about right as to a safe actual value you can get out of em & sometimes $20-$25 an inch for the better tips!

You have some real descent ones there! Glad to know you know they are real! Some nice big collections come thru the auction I go to weekly (like once or twice every 2 months). They usually if not always sell for more than I'm willing to pay at an auction. They are almost always from the Morgan/Monroe counties in southern Indiana or from even further south in Indiana like down by the Ohio river..
