Thought maybe some ya'll might find these to be pretty cool. Found all these on or around my home just outside of Burnet in Buchanan Dam. Anyone have any idea what the one on lower right corner is?

Yeah, the broken one is pretty cool as my 10 year old found the bottom half and days later found the matching tip buried a little deeper. What are the odds of that?

The one on the lower right was most likely used for a knife to skin animals. The rounded part should fit in the palm of your hand nicely leaving the straight edge ready to cut away.

Cool stuff. We used to hunt on the Lambshead (Matthews) Ranch. On the Clear Fork of the Brazos there were quiet a few campgrounds the indians used. We found tons of arrowheads. The Ranch made you leave them there though where you found them. Pretty cool place if you have never been there. It has the original homestead restored complete with Sandstone fence and corrals. All the doors and windows had portsd to shoot out of for Indian attacks. I had the pleasure to meet Watt Matthews and listen to stories from him aout the past on several occasions. My boys were all under 15 at the time and he loved to talk to them. Probably one of the most courteous and hospitable peopleI have ever met.

Beast is right - it's a scrapping tool

I used to go arrow head hunting with my uncle in New Mexico. When he passed away he had 8-10 8X10 picture frames with them in assorted arrangements . They were cool to look at and it was cool to hear the stories of how he found them. Wish he was still around. :(

Thanks for the info. Darrell's name rings a bell, but not sure why.
