Wow. I did not know that. I wouldn't call it nearly perfect, the horribleness of the picture doesn't let you see the rust stains or the many chips it has in it, but it's still pretty good. I'm trying to remember if the rust stains were there before or after I got it lost & stuck in the U-bend of the bathroom sink when I was 9, I think. Thankfully, Dad was nice enough to take the pipes apart to get it. :)

So, that arrowhead has been through a lot. Mostly it's just been sitting in a 18-egg egg carton along with a bunch of rocks from my collection from when I was younger.

Always cool to learn something new.
