Amazing what some of us call junk.  Roll Eyes

How about this for an ornament Alan. It's another eyes only find and has been sitting on my window sill for ages. I love it. Grin I think it's a young Oryx foot print, or something similar.

None of them have any metal in them Taff!

Most of these were in fields I walked over in Kent when on holiday. The largest one is a broken spear point I think.

I think Taff meant did you find them. The big question now is how did they get to Kent as at least 7 of them are native American Indian dovetail arrowheads. Very strange Shocked

No, the north american arrow heads are, as chef pointed out not native to here. I bought those in a market in Kent, near Deal. I got them because I was fascinated with the material they were made of. They were advertised as genuine stone age, but they are made of rock and quartz instead of flint.

They got me interested in collecting the big lumps of flint that were laying around in the fields around the holiday camp. Thats when I found the real arrowheads when I wandered into a bit of a field that was covered in small bits of flint, and the arrowheads were around them. I spent the better part of a week wandering in that field.
