It amazes me how folks find all of these artifacts. I have yet to find a single one, which makes me wonder how many I've walked right by without noticing they were there.

Nice collection! up

Had a buddy of mine that lived in Bowie and had family land in Jacksboro. Went arrowhead hunting with him a couple of times and he usually found something that I walked right past.
Most of the time when I am out in the woods I am looking down hoping to get lucky and for the longest time could not find my azz if it was in my hand.

One day at camp I was either putting on or taking off my snake boots on the bench, happened to notice a dime size piece of rock partially exposed out of the ground about a foot in front of me, it had little chips and I realized it was probably an artifact. Low and behold it was a very nice arrowhead. Ironic after all of that looking, there was this one right at my feet when I wasn't looking. Still the only one I have found.

Found a lot down in Uvalde with my friends on the deer lease. Right along the Nueces, and mostly benches up above the river. After heavy rains, the water runs off the slopes and exposed new dirt afterwards.

My buddy told me the key is three or four things to look for when you are starting out - color, shape, size, and edges. Different colors than normal are pretty obvious, size and shape can be visible intact heads, all the way down to buried pieces (imagination helps). Certain areas they sat and may have only done arrowheads. Other areas where they camped may have cooking and eating stuff, and never a head. As for edges, some of the country is all rounded rock, and straight lines and worked edges are visible. Finally, be dumb jazz lucky!!!

Spear points, large heads, and even small ones are visible in red clay, and a bottle of water to rinse them off helps. They make nice display art too, as this is a piece of driftwood it was laying next to on the bank.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Love your collection. I dug these up two weeks ago in Bell county. No smokers but still worth the effort.
