Arrowheads can be found almost anywhere in North America and other continents, and are profound connections to the past. While you’ve probably found some by complete accident or coincidence, you can up your chances by searching in particular places or during prime seasons. Just be sure to know your local history and respect the local cultures as you follow our simple steps on how, where, and when to find these little archeological treasures.
Things You Should Know
- Hunt for arrowheads around bodies of water or on high ground, where Native peoples often made camp.
- Ask permission before you search tilled fields, where the overturned earth may reveal arrowheads.
- Scan the forest floor, where arrows may have landed during hunting.
- Consult your local tribal association, museum, or historical society for information on the history of the area.
