That’s gravel bar in the creek looked good. On the river I like to find the places that have a high bank. The lower banks aren’t that good. High eroding banks are good. My favorite is the field hunt and I’ve been digging a lot lately. Seems I’m only finding Woodland points but hoping for something cool. Maybe I’ll see ya out one day
Yeah that'd be cool! I personally have never made a field find yet but I also need to find more places to look. The river has treated me very well. Thanks for watching.
I do most of my searching in my neighbor's fields. The sites tend to get a bit scattered from farming, but usually I'll start seeing large, round rocks, and scattered flint shards in about half-acre areas. Some of my best spots have been on hilltops where natural springs or seeps occur.
I'm in the eastern panhandle WV. I just started learning to look for arrowheads made a sifter this week. Only went looking once with no luck. I'm going to Potomac river tomorrow and hopefully have some luck. Appreciate videos like this so I can learn the right way
Best of luck. Those tilled fields along the Potomac are chock full I’ve seen. Work on getting some fields to look in. I have looked in the branches near smokehole and Seneca rocks but never found anything. Another RUclipsr called aquachigger has found some in tilled fields out that way though. Try checking him out. Best of luck.
I agree, it seems like the word "hunt" tends to turn people off. Whenever I ask I introduce myself and just politely state "I collect rocks and artifacts, would you consider letting me look around?"
Great strategy. This actually paid off for me recently as I’ve just acquired new riverfront to “search”. I appreciate you watching. Good luck on your future hunts.
Very informative video. This has been my first summer arrowhead hunting. I definitely learnt lots from this videos! Goodluck brother Cheers from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
In fields covered in growth look for bare areas where wind, rain, standing water etc. has left exposed dirt and check those spots. There's usually gullies running off these areas that should be checked and can lead you to a large exposed area to look at. Find a gully and follow it up. The gullies serve as a path into the field too, so you don't disturb the crop. In my experience, gullies are always the first place you should look in a field at any time of year especially right after hard rain.
I live in Indiana on 100 acres near a main feeder creek that runs into the Ohio river. I've been hunting for artifacts back here for a couple years. There's a cave and a creek on the property. All I've ever found was a projectile point 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure where to start and hoping maybe you'll have some advice?
The beaches that are on either the creek or the river. Any low points in the fields. Sandy places, exposed ground. Is it a cave or an overhang? If you can dig in it without getting in trouble, there's a chance you could find stuff in there. Check out rock shelter dig videos for better advice though, as that is not my area of expertise. I have another video out now that covers how to look on the Ohio River thats an updated version of this video. Check it out.

Dave uhlman runs it and it's the best group to learn from. I hope all this helps.
Thank you. The emphases that you put on respecting folks property as well as Earths good ground will surely vamp up our understanding about the lives of our predecessors. Folks close doors on us as well as Mother Nature and things that are unbeknown to us, when we do not enter the ground with openness and Love in our hearts Thanks again. dC. fayette ga.
Fair enough. Apply these same techniques. You should have the same success. Thanks for the feed back and I hope you have great luck on your searches!!!
I'm not sure what you mean. We've collected hundreds of artifacts over the last three years. This is just a simple tutorial. Sorry that it did not strike your fancy.

I am a bloody up at the river, but I’m still a freshman when it comes to look at in the fields. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thanks for the video sir. Been looking for more insight on how identify old camps on the rivers and creeks.
Glad it was helpful!
Gave you a sub and we enjoyed watching. Happy Hunting!

Tha is for the tip I appreciate it.
I found a field just like that. All flat except one little rise with a flat spot on top. Gullies right beside it. Holds water and has bare spots.

Hi Doug,
Forgot to tell u my prop is in Monroe County Ohio near Powhatan Oh.
Thx,

I deliver up there often. Thanks for getting back to me.
Everyone is looking for Indian artifacts, I want to find native American artifacts.
Fair enough. Apply these same techniques. You should have the same success. Thanks for the feed back and I hope you have great luck on your searches!!!
Hezus Marimba. 😂😂😂😂😂
So, you have nothing…………
