Finding arrowheads with a dredge?

[AlaskaAng]

Has anyone every tried to use their gold dredge to locate arrowheads in creeks in the lower 48? I'm leaving AK this summer and would love to still use my dredge to possibly find some arrowheads not only in plowed farm fields and creeks. Just thinking it might work even if the dredge pushes the arrowheads out the back...it would end up in a pile of rocks that could be sifted through.

I have access to two creeks on private land in the central midwest and would love to give it a try...

Your thoughts?

try building a box behind your dredge with 1/4 inch screen i do this when i look for fairy cross . i have found arrow heads this way. the creek im in is only 5 inches deep so i set it up on some concrete blocks . i have a 4 inch dredge the box is 3x3 . With a dredge this big it takes 2 one for the hose the other to keep the box cleaned out . you will be suprise what you find

Excellent idea! The box should work good as long as I have a second person...thanks, can't wait to try it!
