    Blaze, I don't know man, I've never hunted them indians. What kind of gear do you need ?

    No, seriously, it depends where you are as to what to look for. Bend in streams, rivers, terrace areas out of the flood plain, springs, and fire rock.

    Re: Is there any link or forum on Native American hunting?

    Below are a few links that'll get ya started but the best way is to get out there and put some miles on your boots! Plowed fields, reservoirs, streams and construction sites are all viable locations so long as a few other variable are in place. SE facing over water almost anywhere works too.

    I walked for hours before ever finding a thing. After finding my first they started coming slowly but regularly then there were times I couldn't not find a handful. Lately, there are so many people in my area hunting that it's hard to find ground that hasn't been hunted to death. Keep looking and eventually you'll find productive sites.

    Those links are a good start.....I would recommend finding folks in your area that also collect.(Forums or word of mouth)Also the first rule of beginning hunters is to look where others have found them before.

    There is very little virgin ground when it comes to finding relics on dry land or in creeks. It may not be hunted often or recently, but chances are someone has happened by there and picked up something.

    It's a bit like learning to ride a bike from reading a book. The theory and explanations can help get you in a potentially better area to look, and insitu shots can show you what to look for, but all of us learned how to find relics by getting out and walking fields, creeks, deserts, etc. Eventually you develop an eye for a glint of the right material, a knapped edge, a worked piece, a shape, etc.

    I'd say just dive right in. Find a piece of ground with some dirt/rock exposed within easy walking distance of a creek/river/lake, get permission and spend a couple hours flipping rocks and checking flakes.

    Re: Is there any link or forum on Native American hunting?

    I prefer to go out a little later in the afternoon. Carry a stick for flipping them. Glance toward the sun, and look for shiny flakes. Burned rocks are a good sign of a campground.

    And, about every 5 miles, you MIGHT find one!!!!!!!!!

    Of course, all the above rules apply...... (no running water around this part of TX, especially this year!) I look for places the top soil has blown off. good after a big wind, or rain (whatever that is!)

    Good luck, olroy
