Dade County,
Georgia

Note from
Seth Gill
the finder: I found these arrowheads in the
1950's on my farm in Dade County Georgia when we planted corn in the spring.
That was our fun on a slow day. I had them wrapped in paper and stored
in tin molasses cans. I have found over 4000 in 57 years of farming along
Lookout Creek and I am just now starting to go thru them and I'm reliving my
younger years with my great kids. |
