Metal Detecting
Today two of my nephews and I were out braving the cold with our metal detectors and we were not having success so I suggested we go look for some artifacts in a local field. I have only found two broken arrowheads over the course of the last 10 years so I'm a total beginner. Well let's just say I'm hooked after today. I found both of these in the first hour. I don't live in a well known area for these but obviously this spot is pretty good for around here! I'm curious what your thoughts are about the smaller of the two. That's a somewhat uncommon base not??

I disagree with Up North, the triangle bifurcate could be a LeCroy and the side-notch could be any number of points...maybe a Big sandy.
The lithic looks about right as well.
 

Bifurcates are early archaic. Around 7000 BC. The side notches are usually associated with the middle archaic, around 3500 BC. Nice finds!
