Arrowhead hunting

[Wesnash]

Can anyone help me out with a place to go Arrowhead hunting around the fulton Mo area? I'm kinda new to the area. I lived in the area when I was really young. I just moved back to the area after being away for over 35 or 40 years. So any help would really be greatly appreciated 🙏

I use to live in Missouri, in Columbia. Look at a map, look for creeks, streams and rivers, any water that can be navigated by canoe, you can legally walk as long as you don't trespass over private property. Under Missouri law if body of water is navigatable it is public owned.

I found far more unbroken artifacts in water than I ever found hunting fields. Look behind anything that can blook the current or flow of water.

Indians had to have fresh water so they campedl close to the banks, as banks erode from heavy rains artifacts fall in the water, and heavy rains cause them to be pushed downstream and fall behind obstructions that block the current, rocks, fallen limbs, trees, high brush etc.

Look for creeks and streams that are stone bottom, not mud. You can hunt the rivers if you have a small boat, hunt the sand bars.

Good luck

That’s in Callaway county. That county is a major source of Burlington flint. All the creeks are loaded with flint. I’m a flint knapper from IL but have never been there. I’d love to go quarry there. The creeks will have nodules that have been tested, many reject quarry blanks, a few nice quarry blanks, and a few arrowheads too. I envy you!!

I found a lot of artifacts in Callaway and Boone counties, and you are right, Burlington flint is abundant.
