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.

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.)
