I have a friend who is a master and finding arrowheads.We had not been out hunting in a long time.I had located some potential new sites using topos and aerials and a property site i use to make sure we were not Trespassing and I took Him with me as the ground man because He finds an average of ten arrowheads for every one i find. Some of These were found in a plowed field that we had been to a week before right after the big rain but the field was so muddy we sank to our knees in it and had to abandon the hunt.When i went back a week later someone had literally walked a grid five feet apart in the still soft field every square yeard of the field.The field is at least a third of a mile square.This upset me that someone had beat us to the field but excited me to know i picked a good spot.For someone to put that kind of effort in this field showed me it was prime Indian Real estate. I took my fiend out there the next day andHe located five arrowheads in the space of a couple horus,four of them either broken or chipped probably by the plow and one whole one.I on the toher hand found a mess of flakes and small pottery shards.I covered half the field in that time and he basically covered a couple hundred yards along the lower edge close to the crik. Never seen anyone move so slow in my life but it paid off.
We then went to a semi beach on another stream at low tide and he pulled an excellent thin point out of the eroded bank and then found a wide weird shaped point that would make a better knife then an arrowhead.He flipped it over and it had a potential fracture across the back which no doubt prevented the flaker from throwing flakes across the disfigurement and hence narrowing the blade so he made a knife out of it.I"ll attach pics.He has thousands He has found over the years.Wish I had an eye like that.All I can out find him at is snakes.
