Any flintknappers out there

How do you go about that? I have lots of pottery shards I've pulled out of the bank of shell middens here on the river but have never found an arrow head.

Are u close to the coast? I personally have never found an arrowhead but some friends thru the years have found them. We go up in the coastal creeks and look around the 2-3rd hill/dune/burm.... The old flood deposits. I have better luck with extinct mega predators. Natives did use teeth on their arrows around here... Those megalodon efoc more my style broadhead anyway.. hehehe

I'm about an hour from the coast but we dont have any sharks teeth I wish we did. Occasionally I find pleistocene fossils like horse teeth and have found ivory fragments. I do find chrinoids and shell fossils. The second pic I posted has a chrinoid fossle in the point

Florida Fossil Hunter Gets Credit For Big Find

A carving of a mammoth or mastodon on a fossilized bone, found years ago in Vero Beach, is being recognized as important early art. The find has sparked new interest in a site first excavated nearly a century ago.

Ive hunyed them a few times with a cousin that was decent at it.
He liked to walk plowed fields after a rain.
The rain would wash the dirt off the heads to expose their true character of a worked stone.
He liked walking plowed fields along river and creek bottoms because he said thats where a lot of indian activity took place. I did find a few when I was with him so it seems to be an effective way to do it.

Yeah I'm about 50 miles north of the gulf. I've found shark teeth up around the creek by our camp but it's clear and sandy there. Hard to hunt relics in the delta mud.

I'm sure I'll find one eventually. I look every time I walk over an old midden.

Walking dirt roads that follow creeks is a good way to find points too
