Default Hi everyone...

I live in the South-West section of W.Va. Started out collecting indian artefacts and detecting in 89. Been at it off and on ever since. Going after a type 1 James shell as my 2005 goal.

Very nice finds Tom,

Rob,
I've heard that they look in freshly plowed fields after a good rain. I've never had the pleasure of finding one

Nice finds! To find more,just walk along the creek bank and really look close in the gravel.Especially at any little clearing along the bank.Some of the arrowheads will be very small(birds) and go up in size to very large(bear,etc).
