Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Re: Couple Arrowheads i found Nice flint. Judging the best I can from the lines on the paper, I'd say those didn't come from from an arrow, but from an atlatl instead. They are probably several thousand years old.

Randy Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: Couple Arrowheads i found I found what I believe to be an axe head years ago. It was a light green in color. I sold it for $35 when I was young and broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: Couple Arrowheads i found My best luck has always been in plowed fields after a rain. But it helps if you know for sure they are there to start with. No sense in looking in an area if there never have been any found in that area.

bowin_in_illinois Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: Couple Arrowheads i found nice arrowheads! I live off of the macinaw river, so every once in a while I find one. With a lot of the farmers going no-till, the ground doesn't get churned up as much, and things don't come to the surface for me to find.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: Couple Arrowheads i found BTW - It's illegal to gather any artifacts from public land, whether it's a National Park, State Park, BLM land, etc. You'll need to find someone with private property to let you search/dig for them. And in some states, it may even be illegal on private property, better check your local laws first. We find them around here in streambeds and plowed fields, but the best place to look is old camps. The Indians would reuse the same camps for thousands of years, and there will be layers you can dig into that will have different types of artifacts. Look for a spring that doesn't have any other reliable water source nearby. There will almost certainly be a camp there. Also look for overhanging cliffs that are sheltered from a north or west wind. Those will be winter camps. When you start digging, look for "fire rock". Those will be the stones they used to line their fire pits. The stones will be red or brown, and when you break one open it will still smell like smoke. You may only find a bunch of animal bones and shells at first, but that's a good sign. Especially if you find a bunch of snail shells with tiny holes punched in them. Not sure how they did it, but the Indians somehow extracted the snails through those tiny holes. Anyway, when you start finding these things, keep digging. The good stuff will be deeper down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
