Any Arrowhead Hunters out there?

When I’m out in eastern Oregon hunting, I just can’t help it anymore after finding my first one! I have to keep reminding myself why I’m out there to begin with. Then when you find petroglyphs your in even more trouble. This was my first!IMG_7220.jpeg
 
I really suck at it. My buddu knows a kid around here who has a 5 gallon bucket full of arrow heads. I have never found one.

Not hunter but stumbler onner. But do find myself getting sidetracked in stream beds and river sand bars looking for those and fossils.
 
A few years back I knew some folks that wanted to start offering some dude ranch experiences, and they asked if I'd be willing to bring the family and give them some feedback on it. So we went over and spent a week there, and my girls got to experience some real life horseback cattle drives, and pleasure riding through the mountains, etc.

On one of the rides the wrangler rides up next to me and says "I know what you're doing, because I do it all the time too while riding........you're looking for arrowheads aren't you". It's hard to turn that off. I do it while hunting, fishing, hiking, etc. The last one I found was on a hunt in 2020.
 
I’ve tried but never have any luck. I’m usually too busy looking for animals, tracks, etc. I’ve been known to step right over them just for someone behind me to pick it up and laugh at me.
 
I have got to the point where I check historical data
On places I go hunt just so I can hunt for artifacts
As well. It’s made me want to spend more time in the off season putting miles in boots and seeing new places.
 
I enjoy looking for them in the spring after snow melt, have a friend who helps a world renound Dino digger. We go look for them and all I find is sheds and occasionally and arrow head
 
I used to find them working in the tobacco fields here in Kentucky. I don’t have a ton of arrowheads but knew some old folks who had some amazing collections.

After I got into rockhounding and lapidary work I started noticing debitage and stone tools that I might have walked past before. Picked up this broken pelican lake point made from greenish windy ridge quartzite during a hunt this year. Found the hafted scraper at the same spot the year before.
