THE METAL SPEAR POINTS DO SEEM TO BE LESS COMMON THAN EITHER THE STONE, BONE OR WOOD POINTS. I HAVE ONE OF THE METAL POINTS IN MY COLLECTION. THE INFORMATION WITH MY EXAMPLE WAS "OLD AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL N. W. AUSTRALIAN TIN SPEAR COLLECTED IN THE MID 1950'S. THEY WERE FASHONED FROM CANS, HORSE SHOES, FENCE POSTS." AND NO DOUBT WHAT EVER ELSE THAT WAS FOUND

MINE IS OF THE SAME FORM AS THE EXAMPLE YOU SHOW BUT SMALLER THAN THE ONE IN THE PICTURE OF THE HUNTER.
UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF MY EXAMPLE BUT INCLUDE A PICTURE OF TWO EXAMPLES PLUS A FEW WOODEN ONES. AND SOME PICTURES OF STONE SPEAR POINTS FROM AUSTRALIA
