Lomekwi Stone Tools The stone tools unearthed at Lomekwi 3, an archaeological site in Kenya, are the oldest artifacts in the world. These stone tools are about 3.3 million years old, long before Homo sapiens (humans) showed up.

Early Stone Age Tools The earliest stone toolmaking developed by at least 2.6 million years ago. The Early Stone Age began with the most basic stone implements made by early humans. These Oldowan toolkits include hammerstones, stone cores, and sharp stone flakes.

The Oldowan is the oldest-known stone tool industry. Dating as far back as 2.5 million years ago, these tools are a major milestone in human evolutionary history: the earliest evidence of cultural behavior. Homo habilis, an ancestor of Homo sapiens, manufactured Oldowan tools.

• The London hammer – a tool older than history.
• The Antikythera mechanism – a Greek ancient computer.
• The Dropa Stones.
• The Saqqara bird – an Egyptian plane.
• The Baghdad battery – a 2000-year-old battery.
• Unexplainable fossils and metal objects.
• The Piri Reis map.
• The Nazca drawings.

In 1799, a group of French soldiers rebuilding a military fort in the port city of el-Rashid (or Rosetta), Egypt, accidentally uncovered what was to become one of the most famous artifacts in the world — the Rosetta Stone.

Here are seven of the most expensive artifacts that can be found around the world:

• Greywacke Statue Tribute to Isis.
• Harrington Commode.
• Goddard-Townsend Antique Secretary Desk.
• Pinner Qing Dynasty Vase.
• Rosetta Stone.
• Diamond Panther Bracelet.
• Napoleon’s Gold-Encrusted Sword.

While a Folsom or Clovis arrowhead in good condition might be worth $5000, $10000, or in rare cases a lot more, a late prehistoric arrowhead may be worth only a few hundred dollars or less. Only the oldest arrowheads impress collectors enough to be valuable.

Yes it is legal to surface hunt arrowheads on private property in all 50 states. ​The goal of every arrowhead hunter is to hunt legally, ethically,and with great respect for ancient cultures. Your best bet for doing this is to surface hunt artifacts on private property with permission of the landowner.

A chipped or broken arrowhead is not going to be worth as much as one in good condition. More than a few of the arrowheads I find have broken points. A broken point or any other damage makes an arrowhead worth very little.

( 2) The most valuable arrowhead found to date in North America, the Rutz Clovis Point. Almost ten inches long and carved of sea green obsidian, it was found in a wheat field in Washington State in 1950. It was sold at auction in 2013 for $276,000. It is estimated to be about 13,000 years old.

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals is priced at a premium relative to the maturity of its pipeline, but the pipeline is arguably one of the best in all of biotech. Therefore, investors should realize an investment in Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals is a high-risk, high-reward play.

In general, an arrowhead will sell for between $10 and $20. For a more professional valuation of an arrowhead, “The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide” is a great resource. Despite the price listings, however, selling an expensive arrowhead will mean finding a dealer willing to pay.

The most valuable points are Clovis points, made using the oldest technology people used in North America. You can identify them by the ancient technology used to make them. Clovis points are often referred to as arrowheads, but they might all be spear points or dart points.

Surface arrowheads are easier to spot in the desert where there is less ground cover. Forest can hold a lot of artifacts too, but the dirt and ground cover can make artifact hunting almost impossible. In forested areas I recommend checking river beds and dried up creeks.

Clovis arrowheads are fluted (leaf like furrows in the central part of the base). Clovis arrowheads have concave base and convex sides. The broadest areas for Clovis arrowheads are situated either in the near midsection or toward the base of the point. Clovis arrowheads are usually crafted out of stone or chert.

Genuine artifacts do not have sharp points except for the arrow point and the arrow edges. A lot of small shart points all over the arrowhead means that it was made recently. A genuine artifact loses its small sharp points over time if it is hundreds or thousands of years old.
