5. Unfortunately, no. I don't know what happened to them.

My father kept them in a tool drawer as mementos from his own childhood. I suspect that, in later years, he tossed them out or gave them to someone. I only saw them one time when he pulled them out to show me.

Our family moved into a new house in a new suburban development when I was in my teens. I know that my parents tossed out or gave away a lot of things that they considered not worth taking with them.

The arrow heads and spear heads would have been of personal interest, but would not have had not any archaeological value because they had been removed from their original location. At best they would have represented the period when they were probably made, based on an evaluation of their manufacturing method and type of stone used.
