My friends and I have been out head hunting again. We enjoy looking for heads that were once placed on a stick. No worries folks, arrow and spear heads are the focus of our obsession.

Although some tribes of Native Americans were into human sacrifice, most were accustomed to a more gentle life. When it came to animals, they were hunted down using hand-made weapons. The tools of the trade can still be found to this day. The stone implements of survival can be recovered readily by the patient and keen-eyed. There are a few things to know that will increase your odds of finding ancient artifacts. Being able to catalog where they were found and the age of the tool is part of the pastime for most. Regardless of age, there is something truly amazing about picking up a point made thousands of years ago.
