I would simply say to search areas that are or were near water. When I say "were", some areas thousands of years ago contained waterways you cannot see now. You need maps for that. Otherwise, I would say elevated areas near water, or in creeks below those elevated areas, or in plowed or turned up fields. Search for flint or chert flakes, and if you start seeing those, you are probably at a good starting point. Keep your ears and eyes out for any places that seem interesting. Good Luck
thanks jasonjmj for passing on the tips i really apreciate that the thing is i dont know really what flint looks like but ive got my first creek to go check out tuesday on private property
Flint will look "shiny" and flat like a potato chip. It will typically be white, but can be gray, pink, banded, all different kinds of colors. It will generally have a smooth surface on one side, then have "dimples" and irregular ridges on the other side. Also, look up "Flint flakes or flint chips or chert flakes on google or youtube has some videos of flint knapping and you can see the flakes that come off of making a point. Once you are familiar with them, they will really stand out
Southwest Missouri. This is a friend of my wifes land, that apparantley had a pretty large settlement of Indians on it. Actually, they leveled part of the field about a year ago, but had no idea I was an arrowhead collector. Unfortunately for me, there were hundreds to be found, and pottery and such. I was pretty bummed, but at least have been out there enough to find some really awesome stuff, and I will be digging there this spring/summer and hopefully will post some video of what I find.
Sweet! Congrats man!
