Daughters first arrowhead, mangled 1861 half dime, and other civil war goodies.

Daughter's first arrowhead, mangled 1861 half dime, and other civil war goodies.

My daughter found this arrowhead the other day while I was detecting. We would both love to know who crafted it, an approximate date, and what its made of. We live in Tennessee if that helps.


I found this mangled 1861 half dime about 30 feet away a day or two before.

Thought I'd show a few other Civil war items found not too long ago. I found these two clay marbles up against a 69 cal musket ball. I imagined kids playing marbles with daddy's bullets 100 plus years ago.

Here's some bullets, buttons, sword hanger, etc. If anybody can identify any of the iron items or small bullets it would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Congrats to your daughter...been looking for my first arrowhead for years now, if I ever find one I hope it's as cool looking as the one she found...great job.

Joe a.k.a "Twitch" has given me some great info on the point. He says it's a 5-7000 year old beveled point, likely a knife blade, from the archaic period. I'm looking forward to getting home and giving my girl the news! Thanks again Joe.
