Hi, My name is Ben and I am member of Boy Scout Troop 196. I am currently working on my Eagle Service Project. I am going to build display cases for the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, MN. These cases will showcase Native American Arrowheads and other artifacts (larger stones). I would like to put a description of the items next to the display case. However I don't know anything about them. If someone could help me out by identifying the artifacts and tell me some information about them (such as where they came from, how old are they, what types, etc.) That would be awesome. If it isn't possible to determine any specific information about them, Could someone give me some basic information about general arrowheads (such as what were they used for and how were they used, ect.)

Any help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

If you would rather email me, my email is benjii136@yahoo.com

The only information I know about the artifacts is that they came from southeaster Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. There are 127 arrowheads and 12 larger stones.

Good morning Ben,
If you can, sign up to the site and then post your photos of the artifacts with your request for help. Maybe take a few more pics of the two groups of points so that they can been seen a little easier and close up. It will make identification easier. There are a few people from up your way who should be able to help you out and I'm sure others will try as well. You might want to try the local library as well and see if they have any identification books for your area. Looking forward to seeing your photos and good luck with your Eagle Scout project.
Greg
