Nice!

I would literally pay money to have access to fields to go look for arrowheads. I'm so fascinated by Native American history. The first arrowhead I found was in my pond as a young kid. Me and my brother were having a mud war, throwing handfuls of mud at each other. I dove down and grabbed a handful and felt a rock, when I returned to the surface I washed it off and it was a perfect arrowhead about 2.5" long.

There are only 2 fields I have access to. Tons of pieces of chirt, but have only found halves in them. Never a complete piece. They have been looked over many times before I came along. I live along the Ohio river. In my county we have the Kincaid Mounds which was at one point the 2nd biggest Native American city in the present day U.S. behind Cahokia. One of the fields I have permission to look in is about 2 miles as the crow flies from the mounds. The mounds are right along the river, and there is like 2 families who own thousands of acres around the mounds and I do not know them personally, but know a farmhand for one of the families who looks for arrowheads and has found some nice pieces.

looks like a great day

Do you ever look along the Ohio river?

It's all private land.. when my dad was a kid, he and my great grandpa would look along the Ohio on the Kentucky side. My dad has a decent collection found mostly by my great grandpa. When my grandpa was a kid (my great grandpa's son), he and his brother would use up a portion of the arrowheads by making homemade bows and arrows and shooting them into trees..breaking a lot of them..

Being private, I wonder if they own half way across the river channel? Or to the edge? I would try and get as many permissions along that river if possible. The river by me is private and from what I understand is you can float a boat down it and jump shoot ducks but need permission if you drop an anchor. Fishing must be different cause a lot of fishing in boats while anchored lol.

They are fun to find, but I'm a lot better at making them.

Nice

Check out Mud Stompers on You Tube. They hunt the banks of the Ohio via a boat. I've wondered about the legality of it but they've been on You Tube for years. I figured they would have been in trouble by now if it was in fact illegal.
