I'm a metal detectorist, not an artifact guy, and I was wondering how you artifact guys find your stuff? Are you just walking around in known/suspected Indian sites, looking for anything that would have been used or made by the American Indians? Are you digging in these areas?
To me, it's like coin hunting without a metal detector. We know there are coins/relics in almost every yard in America/the world, so we could just start digging and poking around without a detector, and eventually find something. From what I can tell, that's what you artifact hunters do, but there has to be more to it.
So from someone who really only even gave Indian artifacts a second thought because of this forum, how in the world do you guys find your stuff? And kudos to you for doing it!
