The following three posts are old newspaper articles about arrowhead hunters. I think they are interesting because they are from a time when most arrowhead hunters learned how to hunt without the aid of the internet, and in most cases without the aid...

Kate, Any creek that has been around for a few hundred years is going to have arrowheads and other artifacts. Most people vastly underestimate how much it is out there. And the major thing that keeps most from finding something, except by accident, is they only look for arrowheads. Look for the waste material - chips, flakes, cobble. Where this is, is also where they lived. It will probably take you a few hunts to recognize the waste material, but don't give up. It sticks out like a sore thumb in this part of Alabama because we don't have a lot of "hard loose rock" (for lack of a better term) outside of quarries. Chips and flakes around here are going to be mostly chert, but also some quartz and jasper). It is often white, but can be black, yellow, brown, pink, red and shades in-between. This is very easy to spot among the sandstone and shale that is around here.... If you can find scraped areas near water like the Cahaba River, Valley Creek, 5 Mile Creek, Warrior River and learn to recognize the waste material, you will eventually find things. It is better to get out away from the more populated areas, but even in those you can find things if somebody else isn't getting there first after ground is turned up and/or rains. Once you find a spot, never quit hunting it. Rains will keep turning things up - the more erosion the better. If you haven't already read my How to Hunt Arrowheads Squidoo lens. The link is on my blog. I don't know of any clubs.... Bill
