Collecting native artifacts and arrowhead question

[BrianBM]

Have any posters here ever found arrowheads, etc., made of Obsidian? Is that material known to have appeared here? There are no natural sources east of the Mississippi.

My favorite bottles are local.

I did bottles for years, even discovered a dump in a ravine behind a doctor's house. Medicines, Bitters, Inks, Pontils, I had collections of each.

 

One of my better finds but not my best.

Tippecanoe bitters from the late 1800's. Lots of them were snapped off at the neck because of that oddly shaped top.

 

That was a lot of fun digging bottles, you were dead on about the values though. Not exactly like panning for gold or searching for diamonds.

Arrow head or rock?  Just found in the yard.

Rock. No signs of being worked.

Rock. Throw it and see if you can hit something
