Flints

I was walking around in a freshly plowed garden after a rain storm and found these three flints. I am not sure how old they are, but am trying to determine the appropriate period. When I was younger, I found lots of similar flints in the same area.

Holding these arrowheads in my hand I feel a special connection to the distant past -- particularly knowing that, perhaps, the last person that held this same piece of flint in their hand, may have lived hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
