WOW! So subtle I would have no idea they were there.

Do you know the purpose of the mounds?

This is the terrain I’m looking in, from the ridges to the creek bottoms

The mounds are where they built their fires. They are made of ashes from the fires, "midden"/ non flint rocks, and of course arrowheads and dirt. This is just my guess but I think they had fires going year round to cook game and they either cooked them whole and left the points in the animals or they discarded the arrowheads in the fire/mound. I cannot understand why they would throw away such beautiful blades and other artifacts but as I'm digging through all this ash and midden/rocks there they are.

I have only found a handful but this is one I found in the Dallas area while chasing Sandbass this spring.

Man. Those are amazing finds. You guys are certainly clued in on what/where to look. Y’all ever invite rookies along for the hunt?

Yes, It’s the Landona Fossil area. Pay attention to the sand bars. One of my family members goes there a lot and they find a lot if arrowheads, shark’s teeth and assorted fossils.

My first drill

They grow after the rain. It's the best time to surface hunt

Grew up in a town up in DammYankeeLand with a fair but slow river running through it. I swear, every kid in town except me found arrowheads along the banks of that river. My luck hasn't changed after moving here to the Heart of America.

Wife & I on trip up north to visit relatives and friends overnighted in upstate NY. Went to hotel bar for nightcap, started talking to bridge construction worker. Discussion got around to his workday hobby of collecting arrow heads and spear points. Brought out a couple dozen display boxes, must have had couple hundred all nicely nested in cotton batting. Said that was just the collection from the current area job sites and has thousands more at home. Absolutely amazing the craftsmanship and artwork in those arrow heads and spear points. Finds them working the dirt where the bridges cross waterways.

Found one full one that’s been beat up in the creeks for years and a broke one, I’m posting to show some of the terrain I search.
