Bottom fields near creeks, disked, find the high spots or rises. Do some research to see if you had indians in the area.Gosh! Are there arrowheads everywhere? Would I be wasting my time looking in our bottom fields here at home? Obviously the presence of ancient man is required to find arrowheads, but what would be an indicator of whether I should look or not?

There were many settlements and/or reservations that were created between the 1700-1900 as the Indians were being displaced. A check through your towns history could be a clue to where these locations were. Our family’s old homestead was built on one of these settlements. I’m not sure when the Indians were there but they were gone by the late 1800’s. Every time the fields were turned over with a plow there were arrowheads everywhere. I have many that were found there. To know where these settlements were is better than looking random. I have some collected from there. It’s all houses there now but, I always wonder if they’re still finding them popping up in their lawns.Gosh! Are there arrowheads everywhere?

Probably. Maybe a preform but I think your first guess sounds good.
Congrats! Quite the feeling to realize what you see is what you see (if you know what I mean)! That's a great point!View attachment 53435
