    Welcome to the site! Your best bet is to study real examples of locally found artifacts, learn what types of lithics they were using in your area and learn how to spot “ work” on them.

      Welcome to the Arrowheads.com forum. OnewiththewilD gives you very good advice. Learn to recognize the flake scars left by the ancient knapper. I would add that if you are finding percussion flakes you are in the right area. One picture of my knapped knife will show both flake scars and the percussion flakes that were removed:

      Welcome Aboard Gregory. We're glad you joined us and hope you share your finds. Ron - you're the best. Just like show and tell in school. It's sooo much easier to identify a flake scar and percussion scar once you've seen them. Gregory - Jay makes a very basic point in starting this addiction - know your area, know your lithic and know your history. Combine those with Ron's graphic display and by ding you'll be finding points in no time. Just remember we want to see what you find and, if you can overcome the excitement of the find long enough, we really really like in situation (insitu) pictures.

          Welcome!

          Obtain some artifacts so you can look closely at them and often i.e. buy or borrow a few.

          Go to every artifact museum in your area often.

          Make a friend who has some knowledge in the area. (make them a pie)

          Break open some rocks and see what chips well and what doesn't, look for knapping on youtube.

          Read a few books about aboriginal peoples.

          Walk the land and look for good ground near water. Get dirty. Be adventurous.

          Visit this site often.

          Don't do anything illegal.

            Woodstock G you have been given some expert imformation here . Like Kayak said if you give the area you are in they may have a better idea if your in fields or creeks etc .
            They can even elaborate more if that even seems possible but it is . People in your area can tell you the color of your lithics even . But I think everyone hit it on the nose with looking at the sites imformation center . That combined with what was just given to you has you on your way .
            Dont forget to share your first finds !
