How To Find Arrowheads; Four Important Things To Keep In Mind

Through the years I've had people ask me how I find arrowheads. How do you know where to look. And how do you know you're in the right place. I can think of four important things to keep in mind when hunting arrowheads and that's what this video is about.
Special thanks to Tom Davidson and his family for allowing me to hunt arrowheads on their farm and for allowing me to film there.

Thanks for this interesting video, Ray. I won't be hunting for arrowheads any time soon but if I'm ever in the States I'd like to have a look. 🇦🇺

I've been here in SC for a very long time, and I've never run across one... guess I need to look harder, lol?

[@jbojm9]

It's just a matter of getting in the right place. Thanks for watching!

[@SirDudeTheDude90]

In other words it's just luck.

@@SirDudeTheDude90no you just gotta find the right place. Usually where a village or frequently used camp site once was. That’s why caches of arrowheads are usually near water. Villages or campsites were almost always near water. Manufacturing of arrowheads was a continuous process. Arrows rarely survived one time use, so native Americans were always making new ones. As the poster of the video said, look for streams, creeks or rivers, or farmland near them. You will find artifacts

[@SirDudeTheDude90]

@@panzerlieb dang really? Ok maybe I spoke too soon. I didn't realize. I don't have any farmland around me but I have a lot of forest and creeks. I'm on the East Coast. So it's possible to find artifacts near almost any Creek??

[@canheaton]

Am I the first one to point out that the way you speak gives a vibe of Henry David Thoreau's writing. In his book/journal 'Walden" he even finds arrowheads when he's working his garden. Give it a read if you haven't already! :)

[@jbojm9]

Thank you very much! Thoreau was an inspiration to me in my youth although I admit I don't think I could ever live as simply as he did. But I think most of us would agree with him that time spent enjoying nature is very good for us both physically and mentally. Thanks for watching!
