Hunting arrowheads at night!

[choo]

Has anyone ever hunted arrowheads in a plowed field at night with a light?

I walked a field early one morning that had artifacts on way to my stand.
Saw flint but you really don’t see that well.
It’s like tunnel vision. You see a fraction of what you walk by.

It would have some issues to deal with. Lighting, shadows, things like that.

I always preferred daylight, especially after a rain.

I rode with an arrowhead collector to KY to buy points from some young people that hunted near Swanns Landing on the OH River. It turns out they were a bunch of meth heads that hunted at night. They were effective too. My friend bought quite a few points including some dandy Pine Trees. We were there about an hour and I was glad to leave. Those people creeped me out!

Hunted at night because they were trespassing probably!

I liked hunting fields after a good rain, the artifacs shine in the sun almost like saying here I am.

I preferred hunting stone bottom creeks and streams, they were very productive after heavy rains.

I knew a guy who used to do it with an inferred light. He had an amazing collection but was doing it without permission. I’d rather ask

I have come to the conclusion that finding any kind of items you are looking for is a matter of training your eye to see what you are hoping to find In other words when I am deer hunting I look to see an ear ,leg ,or the back of a deer standing near a small tree I Am not trying to see the entire deer Rather the straight line of the back of the deer that is going left to right and not up and down In other words look for What does not belong Now if I am hunting shed deer antlers I am focusing on some thing white And the curved shape is a primary object to look for I have never found an arrow head or other type of primitive artifact but I suspect that color would be a way to narrow down those types of things instead of looking for the entire object rry to see something that is out of place based on it's color In other words there are ways to train your eye to see what you are hoping to see Don't look for the entire picture I suspect that one could learn to find primitive objects in the dark You are looking for shapes and shadows no matter the light conditions anyway you go about it finding them so do what you think would be the best way tohunt them

This post is a little late. I've never used a spotlight hunting on the ground but I've done it plenty in the creeks. I don't really hunt creeks during the day. My main creeks produce mainly really small thin points that most of them are impossible to see in the daylight. It's almost a habit now.

Yes. I grew up coon hunting. I caught a lot of teasing because my headlamp was mostly on the ground looking for flint while we walked miles of river bottom. I found a lot of points, too!

I'm an early morning guy myself.

I’ve tried it, I don’t like it, because like someone said above you could walk right by stuff an inch outside your light
