Just wanting to know if there are any arrowhead hunters out there. i have noticed that my hobbies besides cars are very similar to alot of you guys and i was just wandering if this was one of them.

Have found a few when visting family in Cotulla. Was more into collecting sections of different old barbwire. Haven't done that in awhile. I have them mounted on placks. Should bring down here. There in my parents attic

I'm an archaeologist but I don't do that land stuff anymore. Strictly on or in the water these days.

Here in the midwest, we tend to find them in plowed fields after soaking rains.

Or just walk bean field rows before the leaves drop with your head down.....

I used to have several, but the kids got to them through the years..

yeah am in kentucky and use about the sam method, except its tobacco instead of beans

I used to hunt them but I lost the rights to the land that I hunted (deer and arrowheads) a few years back. Most of my stuff has plow dagage but I have a few good ones.

I use to find them in my yard after every rain....so I have a few. I "Plan" on mounting them on a plaque....someday...like everyone else.

i only have one. my grandmother gave it to me when i was a little kid. it may be a spear head because it is a little long for an arrowhead. i think that would be a great hobby myself but i never lived anywhere with access to good hunting places. here is a pic of the 'arrowhead' that i do have. the edges are still razor sharp.

I had a few over the years, just walking the fields like above. I couldn't say where they are now, but as for old milk bottles... I have about 2 dozen easy and know where they're at.

my f.i.l. has some property in tehachapi ca. his health is terrable, most times he doesn't even know where he's at, he talks to indian ghosts all the time, his sons and i will go around the property, and look for arrow heads, and we never find them, he walks out the front door, and has several, in minutes. we all get a big laugh out of it, heck this guy is trying to brush his teeth with a hammer, but can spot an arrow head at 50 yards....

have you ever gotten any info on it? Looks like Archaic to me - perhaps 6-8000 years old, though the chronology may be different for SC.

yeah thats what it looks like to me, 79943 what part of the country did that come from? and how long is it?

Harley,

I hope the old CBR(??) Cement Plant is still operating at Tehachapi/Monolith, CA?

Only place I ever worked where, when the wind got up, they pulled everybody off the Preheater Tower..

Talk about windy!!

I had, and have ALOT of arrowheads, and pieces, mostly ones I found in my front yard at our old house. (The house that was haunted). Many of you may remember the post about a year ago about hauntings. I don't bother them, or look at them anymore, and I really don't know if I still have them or left them somewhere. I don't know if they were associated with what went on at the other house, and I don't want to know, so I leave them alone.

this would have came out of eastern kentucky, in the mountains. it measures just a hair over 3 inches in length.

I have several from my grandfathers land in Manitoba. He used to see them from the tractor while working the fields.

yep, the plant is still up, and they do get some crazy wind up there. my f.i.l. has a place on the southwest hills (not to far from bear mountain), overlooking bright lake, the lots up there are 5 acre minimum, and only a few places have been sold, so it's pretty rural, horses, wild pig, quail, they have a farm type home, with the huge front porch over looking woodlands down to the lake. great place, and they stole it for 240k (which in ca. is dirt cheap). i don't know how long it's been since you've been there, it's still small town to me, but the locals are complaining about too much growth, and my m.i.l. has had here purse stolen twice in six months down at walmart.....
