    You may be right, I’m pretty new to this, it feels rough like red sandstone which we do have here in the state and which is well-known to contain gold. I’m actually looking to learn more about the different materials and their properties. I’ll post up a pic later of all the arrowheads that were in that case. I’m wondering if it’s possible to find more geological goodies in arrowheads - like gem stones?

    It’s authentic. See previous post where I detailed how I came about it. As far as if it’s real gold I did other non-destructive testing to determine if it’s gold. I did a vinegar test - no change in color - still gold and shiny. I’m open to performing other tests and posting results (non-destructive only). I wanna know too and be sure.

    I actually found it in a flea market - a booth with a lot of knives and spears and also some relics and primitive weapons made of relics. There was a framed case with 31 arrowheads and this 1 spearhead. I bought the case and contents for $40. Noticed the gold when I got home. I’m in bama btw.

    No quandary here - Pulverizing is not an option for sure. Only non-destructive testing methods will be used 👍 don’t get me wrong though, when I first noticed the gold some of my first reactionary thoughts were to build a chamber so none of the gold escaped when I put the hammer to it but luckily the planning of said chamber took long enough I had time to come to my senses 😜

    Anyone ever seen this before? I used a very strong magnet and picked up no attraction so rules out iron pyrite. Did a volumetric displacement test and ran some calculations and getting 9.09 grams of gold contained within the specimen. Love to see what others think.
