We're back from
Vacation & a successful Archy hunt, so it's back to business as usual. |

We rolled-out our new
book at the Marin, CA show and it was a BIG hit... my wife held down the
fort while I was out shopping. |

After a full year and a
half in the works, I finally completed my book on How to Find Indian
Arrowheads and other Ancient Artifacts and Relics... Click on the

Paleo Pages |
|
These pages contain artifacts, relics, tools and arrowheads specific
to the Paleo time era, which was the very first period in time that
the Native American Indians inhabited the New World (USA) Therefore,
these are the oldest artifacts to be found in the United States, and
are of the Clovis / Folsom era. (See the museum page for dates) |

Archaic Pages |
|
These pages contain artifacts and arrowheads specific to the Archaic
period which lasted for 7,000 years. (see the museum page for dates)
One major characteristic of the Archaic period was the introduction
of "notches" to arrowheads and since this period covers such a broad
time span, more different "types" of arrowheads can be attributed to
this era than any other era. |

New Stuff Page |
| On
this page we show photographs of our latest release's offerings.
Normally you can click on a single photo on this page to jump to
that item's listing, description and price. In cases where we add
entirely new pages, clicking on the photo will only take you to the
new page, not to the item's specific listing. (That would be too
much work for me, and doesn't make very much sense, since everything
on the page is new, and you'll probably want to browse over all the
new offerings) We try to have a new release every 3 to 6 weeks, and
each new release normally consists of somewhere between 100 and 300
newly listed items. We also post the next scheduled release date at
the top of this page, once it has been determined. |
