Likely a true arrowhead. 700 or newer would be an estimate. Hard to tell without looking.

Look up what their doing in B.C. when they discover an "artifact".

Don’t be a fool, enjoy your find and tell no one.

When you find "artifacts" you best keep it to yourself or you are not going to have them. Plain and simple.

Tell no one is key. No sense opening Pandora’s box. Trust me.
Mention a tepee ring on your land. Hahaha, years of grief.

Not quite. All artifacts found in AB. belong to the AB. gov. Even fossils. The finder is a stewardship of the piece. Unless your trying to sell it, the Gov. is not interested in it. Any surface find would be out of content and useless for studying. The AB. gov. has thousands of pieces that are found out of content. They don't want more. The top archaeologist from the AB. gov. has look at my collection. He definitely didn't want to keep any.
Enjoy your find, you have a special piece of history. When I find one, and first pick it up. I always think of the last person to touch it. Or what animal it was in. I do have one that could have been in a woolly mammoth.

There are 100's of teepee rings along The Bow and Oldman. The AB. gov don't have the means or budget to study any of them. They stick to the big well know sites to spend their money and resources.

2X, My great Uncle had land around Blindloss had a few tepee rings and a small medicine wheel on it. In the fifties some geographical team from Montana wrote him a letter about coming out and surveying the wheel. He told them about the rings but they were not interested in them.
Never had people asking to see them, he would have allowed it if they had. It's part of our Alberta past no need to hush it up.

The smaller the arrow head, the newer it is.
As bows became faster the size of the arrow heads became smaller.
Also, what Dale S said, you can trust that.

I don’t know how they made them so small. This is my smallest.
Compared to my biggest.

I had no idea some were that small, what delicate work it must have been to make.
Wondering would not just sharpen pointed end of a shaft harden in fire do just as good as those real tiny stone heads? Would be faster to make that's sure.
Thanks for posting those pic's Dale S
