Walked out side door this morning where wife's dogs had been digging, looked down and this nice chipped rock was staring at me........20ft from the steps. Found many arrowheads, but 1st one in my yard.

Nice,,, that’s what happens when you get old and bent over,,, new thing appear everyday…

Tell the dogs to keep digging. Bet there's more - it's all about location-location-location.

Nice one. Good doggie!!

Appears to have bee patterned after the Pearson Deadhead.

Other than Spring Gobbler, this is what I’m most looking forward to in a few months. Congrats on the find!

That's a nice one!

Found one in the marina parking lot once, I think it came in with some fill...laying right on top...

I found one on the roof of a mall one time. Flat rubber roof with gravel on top. We were shoveling gravel out of the way to repair a leak.

You ever arrest any Indians in your law enforcement career?

Around here, tribal plates are considered popo bait . A visual attractor, as it were.

For sure...our home was built on a higher area overlooking a 40' deep gorge with a small creek in the bottom that dumps in the river about 1/4 mile downstream.

Always thought it would've been a good location for a native American site.

Yep.....several Poarch Creek bloodline folks here. Most have the last name "Manac."

Their land holdings are in southern Alabama near Atmore, but several (that draw "Indian money" checks) live in this area of southeast Georgia.

That sounds about right...I found a site on a tidal creek, that was a higher terrain than the surroundings, found a lot of chips on the waters edge and some good or mostly good points, I have a feeling a lot of point work was conducted there, and the rejects were chucked in the water, lol

There you go! A "revenge" drive by shooting.

I was looking at satellite images. Thought a circle of trees across the rode from my farm looked odd. Switched to topography and sure enough its a raised circle not far off the creek that dumps into the Ohio river. I believe its a mound but have never bothered to ask the land owner for permission to investigate.

I have 2 friends that own land down on the creek one I trap. I should go looked on tonme of the gravel and sand bars.

BP,
They got guns.

They're well past the stone age.

Great find swamp. Neat design.
Last week while out calling I found a scraper that had been worn to a crescent shape on the business side. Great shape that fills the palm. Still flaked in the crescent. I figure they held whatever green hide over maybe a buffalo leg bone or solid branch. Seems it would work well that way. My friend there thought it also good for scraping and straightening arrows maybe.

So you going to give back that stolen land?

I'll sell all I own here for $250 grand.

It wasn't given to me....lol

Swamp
Was there any specific reason the dog was digging there? Did it seem to be sable to smell something with the arrowhead or was he after something else,?

Wife has several rescue dogs and they dig shallow holes all over the yard inside the pen (which is our side yard area.) I think digging up the point was just coincidental.

I figured, but was curious. Thanks

Nice!

Poarch Creek indians been scalping us over here for decades. Wish you had them all over there! Why we don't have a lottery, they don't want any competition with their gambling which is illegal here unless your a indian. As a kid my cousin's and me spent hours in a plowed field, them picking up piles of arrowheads, to this day ive still not found a single one anywhere! Everything looks like rocks to me, lol.

Swamp,
After seeing that point, I got the fever, I checked a few creek rock beds and came up with this: I sure would have liked to see the whole piece, I found 2 on that bar in 2017.

nate,
Stream bed hunting can be productive. Our local rivers are full of artifacts and fossils. It is slow go to find the artifacts. Fossils are easier to find. Have to use mask/snorkel or scuba gear when river is low and clear during summer. Fan thru the pea gravel beds on upstream side of shoals.

In the local river, on average it takes about 20 hrs of looking to find one artifact, but it is usually spectacular...polished and damage free.

On land down here in right spot, you can find 20 artifacts in one hour, but most are damaged.

Here are some river-found pieces that my family and I have recovered....the round object is a vertebrae that has a hole drilled in center...I assume to use as jewelry.

When my boys were teenagers, we'd spend all day fanning pea gravel at the shoals we had legal access to.

Son and I picked up 200+ shark teeth at one location is less than an hour. I got tired of picking them out of the gravel. Most were small....1" and smaller.

Here's another case. I think we have 14 or 15 cases of "case-worthy" stuff. Have hundreds of broken ones and lots of artifacts too big for a case, such as a mortor, celts, hammerstones, etc. Also, have hundreds of pottery shards from the earliest moss fiber-tempered to sand tempered vessels....most pottery we find here is Swift Creek to Weeden Island culture (made and used about 1500 to 3000 years ago in the Southeastern US.)

I donated a full case (hundred+ pieces) of pottery shards to our local historical society several years ago.....many with cool designs, engravings, and stamping. They still have it on display last time I stopped by there.

Some of these artifacts in this case are Archaic (5000+ yrs old) and Dalton era (7000 to 9000 yrs old.)

Wow, that's a lot of very nice arrowheads, it's unreal how many you have down there. I think I would be side tracked every time I was out hunting or trapping. Thanks for sharing this.

Ive spent a lot of time looking down...lol
