Default got some old stuff for ya

Found these two objects in the woods. Just thought Pappy would have an idea what they are. The area is very old and supposed to have some civil or revolutionary activity nearby.

Can't really tell how big they are, the larger I guess could be a broadhead.

I agree with Rob. The second looks like a Broadhead. Unsure on the other. Cool finds, Beale.

Broadhead is a type of modern hunting arrowhead. Used in deer hunting and other. Very popular with hunters, Beale.
