Hunting For Arrowheads And Artifacts

[Guthrie]

My Dad has a hunting club that has had a good bit of pottery pieces and arrowheads found on it. I think one guy even found a spear or hatchet. Any of you guys know anything about looking in the right place? I've never found anything myself so just wondering what you guys are doing to find stuff. Also, the legalities, if there are any. Like can't take it out of water, can only pick up certain stuff, etc.

logging roads, log turnarounds, loading dock areas, any where the ground has been churned up by the machinery. If there are rivers or creeks nearby check the roads And after a heavy rain is best

Screw the legalities, finders keepers.

As I understand, as long as its on the surface and you have permission, its legal.
I know some people with unbelievable collections. Alot did come from the rivers in fla. Some from fields in SW Ga. Our state and the feds dont allow taking from rivers I believe. There is rumors of a very large indian “city” just North of Albany. I saw an old map with it sort of marked. It is plantation country so its all very private.
In places, its hard to step without stepping on worked chirt. I found them in places you wouldn’t expect as well. Always looking down. Snakes and artifacts lol Some are just broken or unfinished here.

It was called Pindertown, a large Indian settlement on the flint river. I’ve read that the white settlers “convinced” them to sell the land. It was also on a stagecoach / mail route from Hawkinsville

my Dad and his step-brother had large collections, he said the best time was freshly plowed ground after a strong rain. He was hunting 100 years ago in rural Illinois.

Yes on freshly plowed fields. Unreal how many arrowheads could be found after a fresh plow growing up in Texas. And pottery. Wished I had kept my collection.

I obtained these from a family's or a friend's farm

As a pre-teen, I found quite a few arrowheads on the surface of my grandparents' gravel driveway just by looking down. After they would have a fresh load of gravel dumped, there would be almost a handful in 5 minutes. That was the late 50's and I still have them. Thanks.
