Spearhead (red Sandstone) With Gold Inside?

It’s not dust, it smeared like a thin sheet, to me indicating malleability.

But I agree with a spectrometry test. Be the next step

Those arrowheads are modern reproductions. Usually made in India and can be found on Ebay and  for sale in tourist shops. If you want other opinions check out arrowheads.com. You can post them and get replies there.

Interesting. Which ones are reproductions?

if I take a pic of 10 points - 5 I found in the field at the hunting club and 5 I picked up from a collection, can you tell me which 5 I found and which 5 I bought?

[SHB111]

5 I found myself in the wild, 5 I bought as part of collection(s).

which are which?

From left to right top row #3,5,and 6 appear ok rest look like reproductions. Positive id has to happen in hand but the majority of the cheap made for sale ones are all similar.

Well damn. Lol. That’s exactly right. I lied, there were only 3 found arrowheads in the batch of 10. My hat off to you sir.

of course you took long enough to answer you could have went back to my  photos from earlier posts and played the process of elimination game…..

But giving you the benefit of the doubt:

In number 3 what is this dark spot?

[SHB111]

Well, at least the reproductions are technically authentic - since they’re made in India by Indians.
