Perhaps my prettiest find - Raynham MA Arrowhead

Very lucky, I was inspecting every square inch and it payed off. It comes as a great surprise when you are actually looking at an arrowhead, after so many hours inspecting every square inch and not seeing anything. The shape is usually a surprise too. 

This is a bit like a stemmed Squibnocket point, a bit like a Stark Point. Here is a bit of video:
It is hard to put my finger on a feeling that I don't deserve to find such a beautiful thing. Where does the guilt come from - the feeling that someone will suddenly appear and take it back? As I drove home, crossing over the Bourne Bridge, thinking: well at least I got it back to Cape Cod.
