Found in southern Indiana. What is it?

Found in a creek bed. Don’t know much about arrowheads at all, but this doesn’t look like the typical arrowheads I’ve seen. Is it some kind of tool?

Edit: didn’t expect this much feedback. Possibly an extremely stupid question, but would it be worth it to continue searching that area? It was complete chance that we happened to look down and see it on top of the creek rocks.

Kindly seeking any information

Hello! I am hoping to help a friend with information about these points. He purchased the collection at a charity auction in Montana and the only information was the collector who donated it to the charity “may have” also lived and collected in Illinois.

Any help with Id”info the time period, style, anything special that stands out, etc would be wildly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Found my first intact find on my property headed to my deer stand! So pumped. Is this an arrowhead or spear head?

Edit: found in south east Georgia not far from altamaha and ohoopee

Obsidian point

What do you think about this one? Is it modern? Only arrowhead I've ever found, was back in the early 90s in southern Humboldt County, CA. We lived near the Eel River and had gravel delivered for our driveway. Found this in the gravel.

Can anyone help me with identifying this arrowhead?

I found it on shore on the Chesapeake bay. I have no idea how to go about identifying it. Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Real or modern point? And why do you think so?

Real or modern arrowhead, and why do you think so?

Looking to get better at identifying. To me it feels modern, just based on the quality of the knapping - but I’m a beginner and cant fully tell. I see some hinge fractures but I know older points can have these as well.

Please give me your opinion and why you think so, so that I can improve my understanding of how to
Identify and what to look for.

Thank you .🙏

Resources for beginners

My wife and I recently closed on a small lot in a rural area onto which we intend to retire. It is positioned near a seasonal dry creek bed that serves as a natural drainage course during rainfall events, but typically doesn't have much surface water most of the year. In the short time we have owned the lot, I have met more than one local resident that has been quite successful finding points on their property, so there is a non-zero probability arrowheads are in the area. I am very interested in seeking these out... but don't know where to start.

Might someone point me to some beginner resources or offer some tips on best approach to start hunting for points as a total beginner... I mean, other than obviously just looking? I thought the dry creek might be a good place to start. I'm not sure how much "excavating" will be involved, but everything I would be doing will be limited to hands and hand tools. Are there clubs our other groups that might be a good place for someone new to learn from others?

Thank you for any general newbie-guidance or advice!

Any info on the age/type of these points would be greatly appreciated

A-D are all said to have been found on a family farm near Carlisle, OH, in the Miami River Valley.

E-F no info on where they were found.

Ruler measurement in inches.

I inherited these from my father in law and have been researching how old/what type of points they are. Getting conflicting answers among various field guides, websites, etc.

I’ve been getting interested in the ancient human history in central/southern Ohio so trying get an idea just how old these amazing artifacts are that I hold in my hands. Any info/answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
