    There are 10,000-year-old arrowheads sold for that much or less. They’re not scarce or sacred or anything; they’re literally weapons that were made in mass quantities for warfare or hunting.

      I like this one because it’s one step up from a rock and minimally qualifies the object as a human making.

        Well, the earliest ones that were not mass produced are valuable even though they aree the smallest step up from a rock. It is the later, well made ones that are extremely common because they were made and used for thousands of years that are not.

      I’ve seen some BC bronze arrowheads listed for auction and were surprised how cheap they were.
