Arrowhead Hunt

WHEN OUT ON AN OLD GRAVEL ROAD THIS PAST WEEKEND IN SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI.  THE ROAD HAD VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC, I COUNTED ONLY ABOUT 4 OR 5 CARS IN THE TWO HOURS I SPENT THERE.  WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO THIS SPOT WAS THE WAY THE ROAD WAS CUT THROUGH THE SURROUNDING HILLS.  I MANY PLACES THE BANKS ALONG SIDE OF THE OLD ROAD HAD EXPOSED SOIL WHICH CONTAINED A NUMEROUS ROCKS OF ALL SIZES.  IN SOUTHWEST MS ITS QUITE RARE TO FIND A REALLY LARGE STONE. MOST ARE UNDER THE SIZE OF A HARDBALL.  IN ONE AREA I BEGAN TO NOTICE A LOT OF EXPOSED FLAKE---NEEDLESS TO SAY I TOOK MY TIME THERE AND IT PAID OFF.  AFTER A SHORT TIME I NOTICED WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE POINT OF A PROJECTILE PROTRUDING FROM THE BANK.  BEING VERY CAREFUL I DUG IT OUT ONLY TO FIND IT WAS AN INTACT POINT ABOUT 2 3/4" IN LENGTH.  I'VE YET TO IDENTIFY IT AS THE BASE IS UNLIKE THOSE I'VE FOUND BEFORE IN THAT GENERAL AREA.  I SUSPECT IT IS MUCH OLDER THAT THOSE I'VE FOUND IN OLD PLOWED FIELDS BECAUSE OF THE DEPTH FROM THE TOP ON THE CUT-AWAY BANK.  AT ANY RATE I THINK I WILL TRY THESE OLD ROADS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.  HUNTING IN SUCH PLACES ELIMATES THE NEED OF GET THE LAND OWNERS PERMISSION AS THIS IS ON PUBLIC RIGHT-A-WAY.  HAPPY HUNTING!!!!!!
