Hello I have a elderly friend who collects arrow heads,and I would love to find some for him for the hoildays. I know nothing about arrow heads but I will pay a reasonable price plus postage. I will also barter just tell me what your looking for. Thankyou.

I have sold all my arrow heads on Ebay but here are some tips. I have found Mexican arrow heads at different stores for about 30 / 50 cents each. Pick through them to find the best as there is some real junk in there but a few aint to bad. back in the 50's as a kid on the farm Nebr. we found a few but those days are gone. Real good arrow heads can run well over $100. which is out of line for poor old men like me. You can find some at auctions but most the time a rich dude will out bid ya. Hope this helps.

Hi John, I hope you get this as i am reading the next day. I have knapped a few arrowheads but I am still learning and am not very good. However, my friend that is teaching me has been doing it for years, maybe all his life and I'm sure he would make some for you for your friend for a reasonable price. (Not $100 I am sure.) Do you want me to ask him? Its OK to e-mail me directly if you want to, that might be more certain a way to reach me. My friend is of Cherokee and Seminole heritage if that makes any difference. Possibly he could make a particular type if you knew what your friend wanted; bird point, spear head, etc. Hope you get this message. I'm not sure of the ethics of e-mailing someone directly without being in
