Years ago, I scraped the top of an old riverbank down a bit because my barn is right beside it, and I wanted the roof drainage to drain away from the barn a bit quicker. The Army Corps of Engineers had straightened the river out many decades before (WAY before my time), so this bank is now 60-80 yards from the river.

After a few rains, I was walking by the barn, and on top of that bank I saw what kinda looked like a quartz arrowhead (not much flint around here). It was not well formed, making me wonder if it was just a rock. I started looking around, and there were many quartz chips in a small area, and in addition to a very well formed point, there were what appeared to be 3 or 4 "rejects" that were close to being points, but did not quite make the grade. I could envision a man sitting there teaching a couple of boys how to make points.
