found one nice one in winnfield while deer hunting. now lost again.
gotta figure if they were here for 12-14 thousand years before europeans showed up, there is lots of stuff buried all over.

I grew up very close to Toledo Bend. When the lake was downs few years back we would ride our four wheelers out there and find a shite ton of arrow heads.

In case anyone didn't read the typed up copy from my dad's binder, he did find some small arrowheads in fields around Lake D'Arbonne (Probably out the Bernice Hwy), next to the Ouachita around Marion (a bean field we fished when it was flooded) and on the Tensas near Clayton.
He was in the woods cruising timber almost every day. Found arrowheads, snakes and even brought home a baby owl one day.
Not posted to anyone in particular, just the last post in the thread.

Here are a couple that hang in my dad's old office on the farm. He had a lot more but he moved them back home one time after our office was broken into. Next time I am at my moms I will take a picture of some of the better ones.

My grandfather had a cigar box full of them. Not sure where they are now.
He said they used to find them all the time when they worked the fields with small tractors and hoed, picked and chopped cotton by hand.
My nephews work those same fields today using massive equipment. They find very few citing that they're too far off the ground to see them.

I lived on Bernice street up the hill from what's now the middle school (used to be elementary). Used to walk down the Bernice hwy. and squirrel hunt every day after school. Some of my buddies (baws for you South Louisiana guys) built a little hut and used to "camp out" there. Great place to be a kid.
D'Arbonne made it a great place to live as a high school and college student. Parties at Folly Beach every Saturday night with tons of girls who's families had camps. Access to a boat made it even better. Most of those girls would be around all summer. Oh, to be young again!

The upper Amite and Comite river watersheds are great places to look if you can get someone to give you access.

Found some in Lay Lake Alabama as a kid Shelby county. Easy pickins. Just scoop rocks from shallow water and sort through.
Not sure what this is. All I can get out of it is arrow straightener

Thanks guys. Forgot I posted this. I've found some neat shite over the decades. Mostly from Caddo parish and up in the ouachitas in Arkansas. LOTS of shite up there.
It's a good hobby. Kind of a detective thing. Figure out where they would likely live from maps, then go there and figure it out.

You are bringing back good ole days. I used to have shoe box es full of arrowheads. I used to walk these fresh plowed field outside of Franklinton, and we found hundreds of them.
