Arrowhead Hunting (Post Flood!)

[@pointsnpoles4640]

Check Out My Recent Videos! 2024 has been Absolutely WILD!

[@rg8301]

I only found one arrowhead in my life. I was like seven years old. It was 50+ years ago, and I was digging a whole in the garden to fashion a rabbit "trap". At that very moment I remembered how we just learned in school that arrowheads are often found in gardens. I looked down immediately, and there on top of my last shovel full of dirt was a beautiful white arrowhead. I went crazy. Probably the luckiest coincidence that ever happened to me ( Crown Point, IN). I promised myself I'd find another before I die. Plenty of creeks here in PA. Never did catch a rabbit, but my dad did trip over the whole while checking the garden at dusk. Success all around!

[@pointsnpoles4640]

🤣 That's a good one! I imagine a landowner or two would let you walk plowed fields near a creek if they are to hard for you to traverse! You will find more in a field near a creek or river than almost anywhere else...I wish you all the best!

Always make sure you are on private land. If ever find a Arrow Head. It's against the Law to pick them on Federal Lands.

That's how I found my 1st, except I was hiking. I took a quick rest at a intersection of 2 trails next to a small stream. I was looking at the gravels and medium sized rocks and said to myself "this is a great spot for arrowheads" . As soon as I finished that thought, I looked straight down and the 1st thing my eyes caught was a half buried point. I picked it up and studied every flake removed, how sharp the point was, and was stumped as to what kind it was and what the material was( Brewerton-silicified mudstone) The man who knapped it was a master. Perfect symmetry anyway you turned it. That day a fire was lit in me. That was 30 years ago

Those piles are points and blades. Been hunting it since I was 7 or 8, I'm almost 66 years old today.

[@mrspankytank2858]

I recently got permission to hunt a “feeder creek” with beautiful rock beds from a farmer who owned the land. He gave me two weeks to hunt before he headed out with his daughters and started putting up deer stands. When I told him what I was looking for he laughed lightly and said good luck I already looked several times. That day I came out that creek with several American Indian artifacts. Leather hole drills, the actual rock plate with serrated edges and holes, multi sided napping stone complete with finger grooves, the stone used to nap blades on with the gouges still Very noticeable. Needless to say I plan to hit this place again after this deer season. I haven’t shown him yet. He did say if I find it I can keep it. But something tells me he said that Not expecting me to find anything. I think when he “looked” he was simply looking for arrowheads and had tunnel vision bypassing all other shapes. When looking for artifacts, you’re simply looking for unnatural shapes. The first thing I noticed was the serrated edge of the drilling stone. About 15 feet away. Sticking out of the dirt and mud so so beautifully. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself as thought about his laugh at the idea of me not finding anything. I plan on showing him my finds soon now I got them cleaned. I can only hope he is a man of his word. I already know he’s gonna be shocked and most likely will start hunting this spot again and if he’s smart he won’t go in with the thought of looking for Just arrowheads.

[@pointsnpoles4640]

@mrspankytank2858 I'd just show him a couple...wouldn't put my trust in anyone to keep the same energy if they find out there ARE artifacts there, there is a good chance he could be like "nevermind I don't want ya to hunt it"......had it happen 2 times to me by old timers I thought would never be that way..

[@issigonis975]

The one at 24.30 is a work of art and was the clickbait that got me here. Being the other side of the pond finding a rich site like yours is impossible. I can only assume it is the time span between the period stone tools were commonly used and now. Only ever found one Mesolithic knife. There are gravel quarries where you can find the really early axes in the far south but the ice age wiped clean anything further north before about 10,000 BC.
