there are three pieces of worked flint in this pic! ... pic was taken from my eye height to show what to look for..
one is an unfinished "bird point" the others just flakes. TRY AND FIND THEM!!!

I have some family in northern Alabama, when I visit I find lots of arrowheads in the freshly plowed fields after a hard rain. When you walk the field they are easy to spot because they are on top of little dirt "pillars"! In a good field after a hard rain, I have found a gallon of them in a couple of hours!

top right is the unfinished point...

Wow! I would have stared at that pic all day and never picked out those three. I've never looked for indian artifacts here in Michigan and I can see it takes a really trained eye. JG

The best time to look for points is right after a rain the flint will shine when wet while the other rocks are dull

Tried it before the rain and all I found was a horseshoe! to much of a dirt covering yet. How big are the points you circled? Smaller than a dime?

[searcher]

only one of those is an unfinished point... it's 1-1/8 in. long, 3/8in wide. the others are just pressure flakes about the size of a nickle. dave45 is right about the rain. i just don't like the mud problem...
the smallest complete point i've found to date was only 3/8in long.
just found an incomplete point this morning going to feed my horses.
look for shapes that don't belong.. angles, worked looking etc. sometimes you'll only see an edge, or back, or tip.
mding is almost easier because you have tech. on your side, point hunting (minus the backhoe and screens) is just you and the outside world...

I don't see the flint, but I do see the animal turds at the bottom left. Does that count for anything?

[searcher]

it would count if they were actual animal scat...not just blackish rocks! lol

Now you're talkin' that's the way we hunted... spring rains and spring plowing = nice rocks
