(This picture is my FIRST FIND!!!!!!)
I wanted to share my experience with looking for arrowheads and points. I also need some advice since I am very new to this addictive hobby. The property I looked on is near the Ohoopee River in Southeast Georgia. My research indicates the Muscogee Creek Indians were once on that land. I hear so many people speak of the artifact hunting and how much fun it can be. I started actually looking where I walk and with my first two trips officially hunting I started to find flint. I have been told where there is flint you will find arrowheads. This is private property where I can look when I like. After 2 trips we had a good rain. I went one afternoon and the most amazing feeling there it was right on top of the dirt. (attachment) This sand hill seems to be slopping and it comes up to a large peak where I have been finding flint on the ground. When I say peak the land crowns off to a spot half the size of a football field. The land is real sandy with scrubby oak trees and moss. There are lots of open patches where leaves are not gathered. I walk and look and find some flint. I took my leaf blower and cleared out some more spots. I am starting to not find anymore clues such as flint. The only thing that I can add about clues are from reading online. Outside of flint I have found some places where there seem to be some small wood chips in the dirt that were burned. I have what looks like a once large tree where the stump appears to be fat lighter. There is no telling how long it has been there. It is near where I have found some flint and burned wood chips. I am not sure about the laws on digging private land or where I should look next. I am not sure if Creek Indians used any type of mounds but the few I see in the area seem to be where an old larger tree may have once been standing creating more dirt in a mound form. So I need advice on where else to look. Some of the flint found has been in the private road on the property. It can be scraped with a blade on a tractor. Everything has been so spread out on this hill to know where to go next. I have several places that appear to have little burnt wood chips. Then I have the spot I found the arrowhead and several places I have found some flint pieces. The old tree stump and the burnt wood chips near it. What should I do now besides look after each rain? Thanks for any advice. Did Creek Indians bury the arrowheads? How deep would they be? Where would you look next?
