Over the years I have found arrowheads in WV & VA...
these videos, I want to share, are folks looking for them
at various locations and to show just how many are
being found and the unlikely places folks are looking.
I think it is a very thrilling hobby and I enjoy watching
these searches. Maybe some of you have an interest
in this and will hinceforth be on the lookout for them, too!

I've not looked through your links yet but I will. Being from Ohio, I've walked many a field looking for artifacts. One of my most memorable and favorite find was a nicely made 3/4 grooved axe....that was just 1 7/8" long. Perhaps it was made for a child as a toy or maybe it was made by a child as a learning tool. Heck, it may have been used for smaller jobs. Now that I'm living in New Mexico, I've yet to find my first point but I have found several scrapers and a pottery shard. I love artifacting and metal detecting!

Here's a couple views of the last one I found in VA.....normally
I was use to seeing them made from gray flint, so this one was
a surprise to me...it's very small as you can see from the
magnifying glass it's laying on...'bout 1-1/2 inches....where I
found them while growing up was in the fields of our farm in WV.

Watch out or the indigenous people will want them all back. Everything they touch is sacred.

today the forest service tells us it is illegal to remove arrow heads and spear points from forest service lands

This is true for public lands. Has been formany decades. All artifacts fall under this law.
Be very careful advertising what you have if gotten off public lands.

Does anyone have any idea who and how to contact someone who can authenticate, and identify possible date and area of origin for Native artifacts? I have been writing to Universities asking for help for many years and have yet to receive anything back from them showing any interest in even looking at my photos. My father claimed to have found them about 1933 and they are remarkable. He passed them on to me with little explanation of how he came to have them but he said he got them at the age of 16 one summer when his father ordered him to working on a distant relative's farm to "build character."

Go to a museum, look and see what matches. Actually quite easy, I have done it several times.

That really is a wonderful idea, however, these are something from either Canada or from Ohio, and I currently live in Texas. Museums here will not have anything to match. I pretty much have to make contact with someone of general knowledge who does this and sees things like this regularly, or I need to connect with a college with a department that is studying Native artifacts and wants to look at them.

I am guessing part of their lack of response is that the artifacts are not in situ, could be faked and very likely if real illegally obtained on public land. These might not apply to you but that is a common problem.
As to museums and comparison I do the looking when I travel and make a point of doing comparisons. Not just Indian artifacts but many others that I have obtained in yard sales even that no one knows what it is.
Finally GOOGLE the area where the artifacts came from and look for them that way, you will most likely find what you are looking for that way. My wife does this for all kinds of items.
