A few people have asked me to come on my place along the Wolf and look for arrowheads and Indian relics. I usually just tell them no just because I don't want people there messing up my hunting...Sorry for my ignorance in advance but...what's the attraction? Is there money in it? is it just fun to look? I'm like catchdog..there is so much hunting and fishing going on..what am I missing on these arrowheads..?
Not sure for others but I think its cool as heck just to hold such history. Just the thought of who made it and what all took place for that piece to be in my hand.

CC..when I'm out walking around on my place...briefly, what would I be looking for? I found an arrowhead one day just laying there on a logging road...is it that easy?
Not for me it ain't.
You will have to ask one of the pros on the forum. I am not one of them.
Its amazing as heck to watch someone in a pile of rocks and them pick out 1 rock of all them other rocks. Just amazing.

I found these today. It was a tough day. The river actually came up a little, made for some tough hunting. It was a nice change after a long deer season though.
Bet you had a good time?
What is that bigger piece?

Coach, There is money in it if thats the path you choose to take but then it becomes a job and not a hobby. I have quite a bit of "stuff" and none of it is for sale although it would probally fetch a fair price. To me it's more of a passion and as Cuttin Caller said, your holding history in your hand that you will never know the history behind. Artifact hunting is one of my favorite things to do, even though I have only a few months that I like to do it between hunting and fishing. If you ever get started you'll be hooked!!!

CD, I'm going to be at my place in TN in March and May and I'm going to give it a try. It must be a good place or so many people wouldn't be asking me to come in to look. I'll let you know...do a little turkey hunting while I'm out there too. I can certainly understand the historical value as opposed to the financial gain. Thanks
Coach, they found an Indian skull in a place not far from you.

CC, From what I can tell from the books I have its probably just a part of some type of tool such as a scraper. I have many pieces very similar to it from the same spot. Maybe I'll get a whole one someday.
Make sure you let us know when you do Old Hunter.

I used to do it when I was in my teens...I have a few hundred with 20 or 30 rubbing stones, 3 or 4 tomahawks, and 1 ball that was carved out of marble about an inch around....a few drills also,,,might have to get back into it..
