About me - Brent Eanes

Ever since I was a little boy, I was always interested in arrowheads and always wanted to learn how to find them. My dad used to take me looking for them, but we never found much because we did not know much about how to look for them. Many years went by but my interest in arrowheads and Native American people and artwork never left me. One day while I visited my friend Ben Sewell's hunting camp, we stopped at a creek crossing on his 4-wheeler to look around in the creek for deer sign. Lying in the creek was a rock that really was one of my childhood dreams come true. A 3.5" Hardin style point that was undamaged and perfect in every way lay in the creek just begging me to pick it up. From that point on, I have looked in creeks, clear cuts, river banks, and plowed fields every chance I get. My deer hunting has suffered greatly from constantly looking at the ground but that is fine with me. In 1999, I took my interests a bit further by wanting to make my own arrowheads just like our ancestors did. I went to the library and the internet and read all that I could on the subject of flintknapping. By trial, error, many broken points, and a load of hinge fractures, I have slowly gotten better relying on the talent that the Lord has so graciously loaned me. I am a graduate of the University of South Alabama with a B.S. in Applied Sciences concentrating in Geology and Anthropology and am working as an environmental scientist/geologist. I love to teach other people to flint knap and to learn how to look for artifacts (surface finds).

Today, I place most of my attention to making stone knifes using the flake over grinding method, but I still make several arrow points and polished axes and celts. I Corinthians 10:13
