Thanks for showin up. Your hunts are always interesting. Out here on the TX Plains I don't find much other than jasper, and mostly broken if they have any size to 'em. Farming is hell on artifacts. We find some medium size arrowheads of a gray rock I don't recognize. Jasper is easy to see, contrasts with our soil color. See ya soon!

[@jldive89diver87]

Reckon why is it most of the time when im digging if its a decent sized point most the time they are on top of the shovel pile? I noticed you said same thing. Ive always wondered that myself.

[@Theditchwalker]

I think that the point gets scooped and slides off the shovel back down to where I'm digging and it comes up on top of the shovel in the ensuing scoops

[@clintyoung8073]

that arrow head at 10:00... what would that be worth?

[@Theditchwalker]

Thanks for commenting....damage to the extent this point has brings the monetary value low ...in order for top money.,they have to be in top condition. Without damage...this point would be worth in the 2 to 300$ range

[@ctcollinthib]

There is a spot on the Texas Gulf Coast just west of the Louisiana border at Sea Rim State Park / McFaddin Beach. This area was home to a now offshore native settlement during the last ice age. Points still wash up along with megafauna fossils. It ain't the prettiest place in the world, but I'd love to see you take a gander over there.

whats yr best advice for hunting points in south ms? go north? lol ive found em in poplarville/ picayune ares but i live harrison county and cant find diddily around here it seems

[@Theditchwalker]

Pretty much..😂....seriously though.,I used to find 75 to 125 a year in Northeastern Mississippi...Moved to Madison for several years...all I could muster down there was about 20 or 30 a year. Of course.,I didn't know the area and had fewer places to hunt. If I were you.,I would get a topo app and find the smaller feeder streams.

[@mothmanmothman4909]

Someone explain how you find this. I mean the odds seem astronomical. If I drop a quarter in my yard its lost forever! So to be able to go dig for arrowheads or search the way he is doing and find so much history is crazy!

[@danielcline7413]

I guess what I was trying to say in my other comment is that maybe when you find lots of flakes and no points that maybe the deep hole upstream catches the points because of the aerodynamic shape and density they drop faster.oh yeah I've got o exsperience at this but it sounds good!
