Thanks for the tips.
Anyone ever hear of this book or anyone own it? Arrowhead Adventures The Ultimate Guide to Indian Artifact Hunting. I'm thinking of maybe picking up a copy.

Nope but if you do please don't forget to click through the amazon banner on the website before ordering. Won't change the price but it'll help TOO.

No, never did end up getting it. Can't remember what it was but something else got my attention at the time and the arrowhead hunting got put on a back burner.

Blind luck LOL! I've found 2 full points and a few scrapers by just looking for sharp edges that look like flint. Knowing there are many other things out there I am likely walking right past other items. Best time to do your looking in a stream is once the leaves are washed out. That's usually best in the spring but spring seems to have come early when it comes to run-off.
You know, after looking at your collection I'd say you could write your own book! lol
I'm taking my 10 y/o out today to do some creeking and I'll be looking for artifacts. I don't expect to find anything but I'm looking forward to trying.

Not that I'm a professional or anything, but I've been told by a very successful Stream hunter to always walk against the current. Only hunt in creeks or sometimes called "branches" with rock and sand bars. Walk the edges of rock bars and always keep the sun at your back. Just keep your eyes peeled for Arrowhead shapes, points and bases. Also when in doubt of an object? Bend over and pick it up! Lol
I hope this little bit of info helps you out. Good luck!
Here are some pics of Dad and my collection. Photobucket is being a PIA so I will have to see if I can bring up the other pic. I also have a box with a bunch of tools, points and a stone axe I found where I currently live
If you notice in one of the above pics, there is a big empty space in the middle of a case. Dad had a beatiful, what we called a ceremonial spear point, but who knows. It was probably 6" long by 3" wide at the one end. It was white and beautiful as hell. When Dad was at Cleveland Clinic, he struck up a friendship with his Dr, who collected artifacts. A week or so before Dad died, he gave that to him as a token of appreciation, which I thought was awesome.
