Arrowhead
This is a ancient Native American arrowhead, this was the way of life for the purpose of hunting and fishing. These were the tools used by many ancient people including Native American ethnic groups. These artifacts exist today as a valuable relics of past civilization. There are numerous types of arrowheads crafted for different uses. The shapes, depth, location and different flaking styles. 

This was the first arrowhead that a guest at Mountain Valley Lodge and RV Park in Rodeo, New Mexico has ever found. This is a beautiful 2 inch arrowhead and color of stone is pink. The guests are having a great time hiking with the Thursday Portal Rodeo hiking club, enjoying historic talks by a local resident, caves, night sky, rock art, local residents, sunsets and sun rises are very colorful, and much nicer weather than in Michigan.
