I'm from Maine but I echo pine trees comments.Waterways are the answer 99% of the time especially in Iowa with the mighty Mississippi.You got maps or Google earth use them.There is so much info on line these days that it should be an easy task.Don't know iowas laws but as always get permission.....mjm

Welcome to AH.com BJ :welcome:
The only time that water was not a good area to look at, was a sewer plant. It just plain stunk. :whistle: :rolf: hmy:
Yeah the others gave you good advice. where creeks meet, springs, rivers. and high ground. Permission by landowners to walk and look. We do have a few members from Iowa, but I am sure they would tell you the same information.
Look to the ground for it holds the past!

Good advice above. Took a look at google earth. Lots of river and creeks in the vicinity, lots of farm land too!Just have got to get familiar with the new area, maybe check out some local resources like the library, museums, archaeological societies etc. and get to know some of the local farmers, you'll be into artifacts soon.
Searching the fields of NW Indiana and SW Michigan
