No, they were found by looking at the ground while detecting. I am not a geologist, but I don't know of too many stones that are suitable for making arrow heads that are also conductive. In short, no arrow head setting on a metal detector... sorry
Nope, most of those you just have to find with
your eyes. My mothers family lived in OK back
in the 1900's, after OK was indian territory.
They had a farm, and they would find loads of
those when plowing fields, etc. Back then, they
were basically not that big a deal, as they were
not real old yet, and I guess real common.
They used to chunk them in cans, bottles, etc in
the barn. My mother recently was wondering what
became of all those arrowheads.. No telling..
I've got some property up there now, and will be
keeping an eye out myself, although I don't know
if any are on that property or not. I'm on the
east end of Lake Eufaula, which was the northern
boundery of the Choctaw nation. The south boundery
of the Creek nation is just a couple or three miles
north by air.. Eufaula itself was in the Creek nation.
Sooo...Dunno, I might run across something some day,
if any were hunting around my place. Never know..
The hard part is most are probably buried by now..
As they were even in the 30's, 40's when my family
used to dig them up while plowing..
I tried the tecter up there a couple of weeks ago,
but all I found were bullets...All the same kind too,
and none flattened out.. It's like the previous owner
popped caps all over place, most of which ended up
in the ground. I had a whole pants pocket full, all
the same kind, and rifling marks.. Fairly big calibre :/
Nothing valuable yet...
These days, if you can't plow up a field, looking along
creek beds, etc, are probably about your best shot.
Sometimes they get washed out from erosion and pop
up into view.
In OK, you have various age arrowheads too.. Not all
are from the recent history indian nation.. Many
are there from the actual native indians that lived
there for 100's, or even 1000's of years ago.
This probably applies to most of the country.
Of course, at my place, there was no lake back when
indians lived around there. It was all oak forest for
the most part. The lake is recent history and covers
some places people used to live.
Tell him to look at lots of pictures of arrowheads..
That will help one stick out if he ever runs across one.
They are very "chiseled" looking.. But the rock color itself
can easily blend in and be kind of hard to see.

Not unless they are metal.

Depending where you live the Indians used metal from metal hoops of wheels and barrels to make arrowheads.And also metal trade items. Older tribes used the rock ones we see in many fields we hunt.
