Last week Nate posted an incredible collection of arrowheads his grandfather found on his farm in Wisconsin. Here's a few pics of what my grandpa found around his farm near Woodruff AZ back in the day. Dime added for scale, plus a carved critter he found We always called it 'the dog' Poor little thing lost a leg somewhere in time Thanks for looking

Dang Brian, that lil foxy dog trumps my Grandpa's points fer sure!
I always wonder if any of the pieces found have ever dispached an animal and fed their family. If you could only see in the rock's memory. ;D
Awesome collection!
Nate

Wow those are fabulous Brian! HoHoKam for sure or some derivative of them The Pueblo Grand Museum as dog carving much in that style, I think. What an effort the person put in to it!! Can only imagine how they did it. Lots of knapping and rubbing rocks together Cool! Here’s piece of pottery shard I recovered from that dig site

Those are awesome Brian! I really like the cream colored one with the reddish tip. And the "dog" of course - that is a rare and treasured find for sure!
