Are you looking to find arrowheads and other Native American artifacts? If you are then you need to be made aware that this is not an easy task. These types of things have value and if just anyone could find them it wouldn't be any fun at all now wouldn't it. The first thing you'll have to take into consideration is where to look for arrowheads of Native Americans. There are also certain conditions which may be favorable when going on these types of searches. If you are a collector of such items then you may want to consider looking in some of these places to find arrowheads and other valuable artifacts.

The New England Countryside

The Great Plains

Various Coastal Areas

Various areas of the southwest

Some of the areas are better to look in then others because there were once large concentrations of Native Americans in these areas. So you may have an easier time finding arrowheads and other artifacts in these places. Other areas may not offer you the kind of success you're hoping to have.

Warnings about where to look

You want to look in areas where you're allowed to look. You don't want to trespass on someone else's property or you could get in trouble. But I would say a more important rule you'll want to follow is not to search on the following areas. This is more out of respect then anything else, also you could end up getting in legal trouble if you're caught looking in these areas.

Native American property

Private property

Historical property

While these rules may be easy to follow for some people not all will take the advice. You can search for arrowheads on private property if you get permission to do so. Usually all you'll have to do is ask and you should be good to go.

How should you react if you stumble on something?

Arrowheads along with other important artifacts are important to certain people. There are people who may want to see them and you should take this into consideration if you feel you've found something of true historical significance. If you feel you've found a valuable arrowheads or some other artifacts take the time to have them examined by a professional archaeologist who'll be able to give you more insight as to their value. If they are especially valuable they may not belong in your possession, they may be better suited in one of the following places.

A historical museum where other people can observe them

In the hands of a historian who can study them for historical significance

In the hand of archaeologists who are eager to study such things

Preserved so they can be in good condition

Don't be selfish if you should happen to find some valuable arrowheads or artifacts. Usually you'll be compensated if you do decide to give it to one of the places I mentioned above.
