Why can't I find an arrowhead?
Why can't I find an arrowhead? Is there some giant flintknapper conspiracy going on? Knap it, bury it, find it, yippee! Some of my earliest memories are finding treasure. I have found just about everything (including stone tools while detecting) but never an arrowhead. And it's not for lack of trying. Research till cross-eyed, drive for miles, hunt until neck goes numb, searching for hours, years, wife and I both, coming up with not so much as a flake of anything resembling an arrowhead. Watched the videos, bought the books, found fossils, bottles, coins, jewelry, you name it all while trying to find one arrowhead. Searched east Texas (Trinity/Buffalo/Indian Shores!), central Texas (San Marcos/Blanco/Austin Etc), north Texas (Brazos River/Benbrook/Village Creek!), south Texas (South Padre), west Texas (Eagle Pass/El Indo along the Rio Grande/Garner/Frio), and dozens of places more over 40 years. Last weekend searched the Nolan River near Lake Whitney and the usual nada.Considering dropping arrowhead hunting for unicorn hunting or something with a remote chance of success. Any words of wisdom, sage advice, tips, pointers, locations south or west of Fort Worth appreciated. Even an extremely specific location related to the giant flintknapper conspiracy would do!
