We live about 30 miles from Poverty Point (as the crow flies,lol) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_Point

I know what I'll be doing next fall, completley digging up that area of the garden,lol.

My BIL,lives next door & has found several on his waterfront.He's so lucky, this is my first find.

Cool! I bet you'll find more along the way.

I found a broken pink one under an ugly old bush I dug out last summer. Kinda like my reward for finally disposing of it...ha.

Cool, so fun to find native american artifacts. It makes you wonder how they ended up in that particular spot.

Indians around my area used few arrow points. They had no large game to hunt so it was mainly throwing sticks for hunting rabbits. I did find a small hand grinstone for grinding seed once though.
