Hey All,

Tejasdigger and I was able to go out to his South Texas property to look for Arrowheads and other Artifacts this past weekend.


We had a blast and I found my first point. Its crazy how much we sifted and busted our asses, and on my walk back from getting water, I found it in the middle of our walking path.

It was a small one, but from what I was told, its a good one for my first find. I also found what I belive is a broken Mano



Check out the video of our amazing trip!

Congrats! That's awesome. I've never arrow hunted before, but have often hoped I'd get lucky and find one in a plug. Nice going!
 

That is a great find.i like the color.way to go.
 

Awesome finds! I think looking for arrowheads is better than finding old coins:) Sometimes:) Congrats on some great finds.

It's funny. Given my record of eyeball finds and my nickname. That I have NEVER found an arrowhead. Nope, never! LOL

Sure yours is one?

Looks like the up arrow key on my PC. ;)

WTG!

HH!
 

Those overhands are some great places to look . I never forget the one I dug into some years back . Bone necklace
 

looks like a great trip, it always amazes me to think how many hundred of years people used those recesses and overhang spots

I can tell you that after this trip, i have alot more respect to the Natives, and the conditions they had to live in
 

Congrats on that little birdie Scott. I knew you were excited when you yelled "boom baby" , lol. Oh, do you care if I tell everyone?
 

Congrats on your first point!! Welcome to the club!
 

AWESOME POINT . I still am waiting for my first one as well , like some others I dont seem to have an eye for them ,I have found suspect peices & pottery shards but nothing near the BEAUT you found ;its crazy all that sifting and you eyeball this thing cool. p.s. I want/ need one of those Border Patrol Trucks. Also if you see one of those B.P GUYS THANK THEM FOR ME 'If they are cool' those guys put their asses on the line every time they go to work. Davers

Grant, I found one in a plug in Druid Hill Park Baltimore, MD. several years ago. Blew my mind. I'll post it if I can find it.

I'd love to see a pic. What was the actual target you were going for?

It was so long ago, I don't really remember. Probably an IH. I found a lot of them there, even an 1877!
