[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 3611904, member: 220"] Walking the banks is fine and legal on TVA land. They post it with signs that are misleading to the people though. But at the bottom of the sign, they have it marked with 16 U.S.C. 470ee-470gg. That is fancy talk for ARPA. ARPA states in section 470ee - 470gg that this EXCLUDES/EXEMPTS picking arrowheads up off the surface that were exposed by erosion. The one good thing about Jimmy Carter was that he was an avid arrow head collector and would not sign the it into law until the exemption was made to exclude surface finds from the law. APRA protects public land and resources from destruction...so that means NO DIGGING/SCRATCHING/SIFTING. But as far as walking the river bank and picking one up off the surface...it is perfectly legal. Some people do not know or realize this though...so do what I do, and print off that section and carry it on you in case you run into somebody that is uninformed of the law. [/QUOTE]
