How to Find Arrowheads in North Carolina

Collecting Native American arrowheads can be a fun hobby that can last a lifetime. It won't cost much unless you decide to get serious.

Steps

    1
    Recently plowed fields are a great place to hunt as long as it's not planted and you gain the owner's permission first.
    2
    Go in straight search lines so you won't miss much.
    3
    If there are any washes from the rain, those would be a great place to walk.
    4
    After a heavy rain is a good time to go. Just wait until it's dry so you don't get muddy and ruin someone's field.
    5
    If you are walking around a creek or river area with an overhanging bank, make sure you check under there because the soil has eroded away, showing artifacts.

Tips

    Don't get discouraged if you don't find anything on a certain trip because you won't find something every time.
    Whenever you go make, sure you wear walking shoes and carry something to put your finds in.

 Warnings

    Never hunt arrowheads on state or federal land you will be fined.
    Always ask permission to hunt on someone else's land. If they say no just don't hunt there, simple enough.
