Yes, we find alot

I did it for years back in the sixties and seventies as a kid and young man. Then sold them , and wish I had them all back. I was lucky enough to be able to search some huge Indian encampments. You could find every conceivable size and type of arrow head, spear point, banner stones, pottery, hoes, scrappers, beads, drills, etc. We mostly went after the fields were plowed in the spring, and then it would rain. That would wash the dirt off of any exposed part of them, and you develop an eye for what to look for. The ground was so littered in places with flakes from making them though, it made it hard at times. You could also at times find musket balls and mini balls in places. So many times some of these fields had been plowed, it would mix things separated by thousands and thousands of years. And that was about the time farming really started to change, bigger tractors and plows. And some of the best was in reclaimed swamp ground .

I hunted them for years. I never found any. When I stopped looking for them, they started finding me.

Found this in the back yard, e-mailed the locoa archeologist, who go and check locations prior to a road or building being built, Found out there was a Crematorium about 1 mile east from my house back around 3-500 years BC
about 2 miles west there has been lots of artifacts found, the area is fenced off but there is stil the drive by guys at night that dif there

drive by, just like poachers, drive by the property, several bail out with out the vehicle stopping, then picked up later on..

Nice find, I seen one here in Arizona on the ground one year.
I usually just leave things I run into.
Seeing the bigger arrowhead was pretty cool.
I run into a bunch of different things while hunting, most of the areas are old Indian areas.
Writings and drawing are pretty cool on the Rock's, places they did their work at and one day I found what looked like a arrow maker.
3 different size holes from big to small for getting a round arrow.
I could be wrong but that's what it looked like.

No till planting hurt my hunting. About every 3 yrs i have our farmer plow our fields just for artifacts. Shelter bluffs are my favorite

Do you mean what is the area like where he found it? We were walking a planted cornfield in west central, Indiana.

My father collected them mostly in the 60's before they became a protected species. The farms along the river where he found a lot of them are now refuge. I went as a kid with him and found a few of my own later on. Besides the better points I framed after inheriting them, there is another 100+lbs of them in a crate, and I left all the chips at his house in the dirt crawl space. The coffee cans he stored the heads in are another collection of their own. Most of the farms here are gone. What's left will probably never be found. Also have my grandfathers collection he had bought many many years ago.

INCREDIBLE!!!

My KS buddy has a huge collection.

I was hunting a really good deer spot in the western mountains and looked down to find an arrowhead. It seems its been a good hunting spot for many years.

My TX buddy finds them in indian mounds.

I would love to go here in NorthWest Arkansas. Its not allowed on the public I hunt though. Anyone got a field they wouldnt mind someone walking?

You want to come to AZ?
Check your PM and watch the video

When I lived in North Carolina if a field was cleared for deveopment or just disked up, people would be walking like hunting for pheasants back and forth accross the feilds

My father-in-law passed away in December, he had a bunch of farmland and collected them over the years, just threw them in kitty litter buckets.
I found them and brought them home and framed some of them. I want to do some other frames, I just haven't had time.
He also had these 2 bowls, that are made from solid rock, they are really heavy, they look like something a cave man would have used.

We had an Indian mound that was bulldozed on our farm as a kid. I had hundreds, but the were stolen in 1994. I haven’t even thought bout hunting them since.
God I hate a thief.

Roddybob, I'm surprised that they let the mound be bulldozed. East Tennessee has loads of villages scattered all around the place. Hwy 321 between Maryville and Townsend was widened. Came to a screeching halt when a village was discovered. There were shelters set up and an army of archeologists and students were seen every time I passed by. Arrowheads can be found on private property but public land and federal land prohibits hunting, digging or metal detecting.
