North Texas hunt?

[baylorhall]

I have always wanted to find an arrowhead or Indian artifact. Is there anywhere in Dallas/Ft/ vicinity that I might look? I just don't know if they can be found here and have no idea where to start. Thanks!

Baylorhall, If I were a betting man and I had the time, I'd hit the sand and gravel bars along the Brazos north west of Graham towards Newcastle. As the level goes down in the next few weeks it should expose some goodies. Also some of the feeder creeks running into the red river north of town should do the same. Good luck, G.

My grandad's old farm outside Paradise, TX produced a lot of nice points and blades. Also you might hit some of the points of land jutting out in L. Ray Hubbard and other local lakes. (As long as they are not Corps of Eng.)
There are point types named for several communities in that area. Rockwall, Carrollton, Dallas etc. Also, there is a late prehistoric culture called "Wylie focus" near you. Its out there, you just gotta hit the feilds. Just remember, there always has to be a water source.

D2 Ranch in Palo Pinto offers a paydig site. Will your granddad lets us hunt in Paradise Johnnyreb? I Live about 4 miles out of Paradise.

You can find points anywhere in Texas. Go to rivers and look along the stream bed. Ranches, creeks, dirt roads are also good places to look. Try to find some place off the beaten path in a place where you are allowed to be. Good luck, and keep your eyes open, you'll find some good things.

There are many area's south of Dallas that produce good artifacts, many areas along the Trinitry River south of Dallas are good. If you can get south of Dallas out of the city area and follow the river where it borders the farming country and get permission there are many good area's along the river.
