Great video!! I live in Michigan and I just found my first arrowhead up north this past summer. It was on the rocky shoreline, still can’t believe I found one it’s been a dream!

I am in the Charlevoix area and we have a creek with a very steep embankment on both sides but I don’t see rocks in the creek, maybe under the sand? What about looking by new construction that’s near the lake? Love this channel, new sub, I have just began to get interested in this!

Hello fellow Michigander! Thank you for the comment and Sub!! Very much appreciated! Michigan can be a bit challenging for many to find artifacts. However they are in every county, so just don’t give up. I haven’t had any luck finding anything in creeks here, but any exposed soil near major waterways is always a great spot to look! Especially any new construction near the lake. That would definitely be worth a check. As well as any tilled fields near water. Especially after a good rain fall. That goes for the construction sites too. Look for super thin flint/chert flakes to locate a potential site. In your area, sites can be quite small, only consisting of a few individuals that made a camp there long ago. So the amount of flint leftover can be quite small. However, once you find some flint, you’ll begin to find artifacts. Best of luck!

Great hunt you need to keep hitting that spot. I watched all your other videos and subscribed . In your other videos it said you were new to artifact hunting if there is one tip I can give you is don't just look in fields look in creeks, river banks, lake shores and any where they are doing construction work and moving soil. Just four years ago a hospital bought about fifteen houses right in the middle of my city and tore them down to make a parking lot and a annex. On this site was a Hopwell village in ancient times, I found about sixty of seventy points several drills seven Celts two axes and Nutting stones a slate pendant and many pieces of pottery. I know this is the longest comment in history but I hope it helps.

I don’t look beaches generally. They can be found there, but it’s not my first choice. I like to look in tilled agricultural fields that border lakes/swamps/wetlands. Trying to find the highest elevation in the field adjacent to the water source. Look for signs of worked flint. (Flakes,pieces) Once you locate flint flakes, you’ll start to find artifacts. Michigan can be a tough state to find quantity, but there are definitely artifacts out there to find in any county.

Don’t give up. There’s definitely plenty of artifacts in Michigan to find. You just have to keep searching for a productive site. Knocking on farmers doors and asking permission to walk fields adjacent to water sources is best. Lots of times the older farms have point collections already and may even point you in the right direction. Best of luck!

Oh my gosh - this makes my heart ache!! It’s been my life dream to find an arrowhead and have looked so many times and have never found one!! I live in Michigan too and I can’t believe you just pulled off the road and they’re just laying on the surface! Can I ask if you are in the SE, NE, SW, or NW part of the state? I’m in the SE Detroit area. I hear central MI is better for artifacts but Native Americans definitely lived all over MI, so artifacts should be here. I have found several nutting stones. Any advice you could share about MI arrowhead hunting would be SO appreciated!

Hello! Thank you for stopping by and for the comment! I look a lot throughout Michigan as well. I can assure you I go home empty handed more times than not in this state compared to other states. I’m located in the SW part. Your area in the SE is a great area for artifacts! Especially the closer you get to Ohio. Focus mostly on tilled fields that are adjacent to water sources. (Rivers, creeks, lakes, wetlands, and swamps.) Search the higher elevations in the field closest to the water source after a few good rains to wash the dirt off potential flint flakes and artifacts. Once you locate the flint flakes, you’ll start finding points.

@@artifactaddiction Thank you so much for your reply and the pointers (pun intended😁). The field very close to me where I’ve found at least two nutting stones has to have been a settlement at some point, but I’ve never found flakes or points there. I found the nutting stones on the highest point near the stream. I recently saw another high spot way in the back of the property that I’d like to hike over to.

Living in a tent and truck and late one February it snowed enough to risk collapsing my structure and when I was cleaning it she and my lab went exploring in the snow it was impossible to track them they left so many tracks but while searching I heard a vehicle go by and I heard someone say you shot someone's dog well I looked for hours and my lab came back two days later gunshot from then on two fools had been out drinking and spotlighting and shooting her eyes reflected green unlike the red eyes of a predator and they should have known besides she was a brindle and far outsized any coyote evidently mortally wounded my lab wouldn't leave her side till all hope was lost he made an attempt at leading me to her body but I wouldn't let him and soon moved camp to a different county anyway what I'm building up to is that I've had many reoccurring dreams about this dog or should I say shes found a way to reach me somthing that I've never experienced even when close family members passed and on all these occasions it was made plain to me by her that our bond would never be broken even by death and so I have passed this on to you with love and hope Colorado dan!
