I am looking for a place to hunt for arrowheads in central Texas. I would like to do some light digging, but would be okay with just looking on the surface if you do not want any digging. Please contact me if you have a place or know of a place where I could possibly find some arrowheads. It is just a hobby, I am not a reseller or anything like that.

Thanks!
John

Look on, or just below, bluffs overlooking rivers (or river channels on reservoirs)after a rain. You don't need to dig. Think: where would you hang out if you were an indian?

avery ranch golf course in austin. they have a hike and bike trail around the course that people score arrowheads on all the time. they dug the remains of an indian woman there as well.

Don't hunt them around Rayburn, they will throw the book at you!

illegal on any Corp of Engineer lake.

be carefull.

I have a huge collection myself.

Try Possum Kingdom lake when the water is low. Not now.

Lake Amistad, has great places to find them, but it's not exactly Central Texas....

We used to find quite a few at Somerville. Maybe a tougher with all the lakes being up.

Illegal to hunt them on OH Ivie also.

Sulfur River near Paris, Tx. Especially after a hard rain.

I have also seen some nice ones come off of Lake Lewisville, especially when the lake was low last year.

I heard about some places outside of LLanno that were really hot with arrowheads and other finds too. I could put you in touch with a guy who could put you in touch with a guy if you know what I mean.

Illegal? who's policing? How 'bout the Paint Rock area (private property with permission?)

Colorado River Municipal Water District, park employes stopped us and told us to put ny artifacts we found back where they came from, It was illegal to hunt them on thier property.Privat property is a differen ball game, I hunt them on my place and others where I have premission.

Call up one of the local gravel pits in the area, they just might let you come out on the weekends or something. I know of 2 on F.M.485 just nort of Cameron, about 45 minutes from B/CS

Wow, I never knew it was illegal in some places. Is there anywhere in/ near Fort Worth that would be worth checking out?

John, I helped my uncle look for them many times when I was a kid. He had one of the premier collections in the country and I'll tell you how he found them. The ONLY time and place he looked for them was in freshly plowed fields right after it rained.
