New to Kansas

[TxMailDude34]

I am moving to Emporia, Kansas this week and I am a seasoned artifact hunter, but with this new territory comes new strategies to learn and new places to search. Can anyone give me some pointers on where to look out here? I hear there are paleo points aplenty here! I saw some beautiful specimens in the local museum and it put the hook in me. Thanks!

I recognize your handle I'm sure you can figure it out surely it couldn't be any different from any other place. Just have to ask permission and go look. Good luck and hope you find a killer but let us see it.

Hope you find lots of Kansas paleo goodies! I really enjoyed our hunts thanks for the invites!!

Thanks Marsh! I liked our hunts too! I'm glad I was there for you when you found your first bead!

A late friend of mine hunted relics in Kansas, he spent a lot of time in the creeks and rivers, found some very nice stuff.

I have found beautiful artifacts on tributaries of the Neosho river in eastern Kansas. Here is a link to Kansas archaeology at the Kansas historical society ... Hope these help ...

I know that Kansas offers a wide variety. I think you just have to go outside and look for yourself. This is the best way to explore your options. At least that’s what I did when I moved here. At first, I was very skeptical. I was born and raised in Texas, so it was pretty hard for me to move to another place. All my friends and family were leaving in Texas, and I was so afraid I would end up alone. However, the whole moving process wasn’t bad at all. I hired [advertising link removed by Administrator] which made the experience so easy for me. Also, my family was really supportive and encouraged me to make this change.

From what I’ve seen of Kansas, gullies and washouts would be my focus....
there’s a LOT of them.

there’s a lot of agricultural ground out southwest of Emporia and there’s a river that runs through there....the cottonwood and like Piaget said the Neosho is nearby. They get pretty shallow with lots of gravel bars for walking....might want to get you a sit on top type kayak??
