That’s awesome. I have some creek property in northwest Arkansas that I’ve been scouring to find an arrowhead. There’s literally millions of rocks everywhere, so I’m not sure if I’d even notice one if it was in front of my face

quote:my parents have a place near sand gap that Richland creek runs thru, and it has a bunch of shallow feeder creeks as well, all gravel bottoms. We hike the creeks all the time and I always stop and look but I’ve never found one. The first time my daughter went with us she found one in two minutes LOL

Love these threads.
We farm a place that is a historical hotspot. The highway had to build a new bridge through the place about 10 years ago, and they had to do an archaeological dig to make sure it wasn’t some burial ground or anything.
It was really cool. They basically had to meticulously excavate 10 or 12 acres 2-3 ft deep. Once they got below the plow pan, they were able to basically map out a whole village. You could see how they built huts, where the trash dumps were, etc. They came to the conclusion that the area was a trading grounds during two different periods. They found artifacts from the Great Lakes, Appalachia, Poverty Point area, New Mexico area, and maybe a couple more.
We have people out here all the time when it rains after we’ve done some tillage.

Everytime I hunt with my brother he points to a random hill and says that at least once per day
How are y'all finding all of these? I keep an eye out every time I hunt and have only ever found what I think is a plummet.

I have the fields if you have the knowledge. Would love to be able to use mine more. Historical site if interested? Thanks

The few that I’ve found have been in an area that I plowed for a small garden at my farm.
After it rains I’ll go look and they just sit on the top of the ground after dirt has been washed way from it.
I’ve found hundreds of chips and rock that I think they used as tools. No question that there was a camp on my place, I just don’t know how big it was.

Are you talking about metal detecting? I ask because I was using my detector in these fields but didn’t mention it. The non-metallic stuff would catch your eye. The one time I saw a guy find a gold coin was when he just spotted it with his eyes.

Central Arkansas here. All our lakes are damned river systems. In the winter when the water drops is when we go looking. It's pretty wild to go out and find 100s of them.
What I always found odd is that the older ones are much better made. You'd think it would be the opposite but as agriculture came along they didn't care enough to knap them out really nice.

I'm pretty good with a metal detector if needed. I know arrowheads are not metal, but one looking for metal in the right fields will lead to arrowheads.
