Hey all,
i went hunting today and found these bullets first in the same puddle, any guess as to how old? I found these two points in the same creek as the bullets. Hope everyone is finding good stuff.

Hey Andy...welcome to the forum..LOL ,nice head's,I'll try and help with the bullet's in a while.Andy,quick Q.,why are most of the arrowhead's and point's associated with some kind of water?The indian artifact's are around my area for sure,should I concentrate on these area's for starter's...Congrat's and thank's for any info..HH!!
the natives camped and hunted around water...look around high spots where little creeks intersect bigger creeks...on the up-river side. look for larger stones big enough to carry that seem out of place. in a ring,or assembled, with evidence of heat or burning. this could look like a sand bar where all the stones are like as big as a nerf ball and you see a group of stones like big as a flat beach ball. there may be a few or several.still assembled or scattered once you find one youll recognize what im sayin. look around for flint or slate shards. find the east and seach to the west.the arroweads will stick out like a sore thumb. after a rain. lots of small pieces of mussel shells is a good place to hunt,too. some may show evidence of drilling. thats a hot spot look hard. i dont dig artifacts but lotsa guys do, i find its too much work, i let the rain do the work....steve
It does take a long time for lead to turn white. But I have found several 3 ringers in a creek that looked like they were droped yesterday. Just food for thought.

Love the arrowheads, I never find any in the water like that. Our water is always
muddy here in ohio. Guess i'll have to move out your way, or come and visit sometime
and you can take me hunting. Thanks for the great pics.
Nice points there BadAndy, I do most my hunting in the creeks to. Big rains are definitely a big help in washing out and up new finds. I know of a few fields in Calhoun that were campsites or villages were i hunt sometimes after they are plowed and rained on. In arrowhead hunting unless your diggin, mother nature takes care of exposing the good stuff.
