Need help finding my first point!! South Dakota/Wyoming/Colorado

[Owsley]

Hey there shapeshifter, We hunt both Fairburn agate and Hills agate(tepee canyon for example) have tons of pictures! I'll only post a few tho! I'm still skunked in the point department. Mostly my own doing tho kinda gave up trying, hard to find land thats not public to hunt.

[shapeshifter]

I am not much help because i am from Ohio but i would like to see some pics of your agate finds.

How ya doin look I have found artifacts in lots of places thing is you got to have running water and it cant be to boxed in as no scape route and the one thing I think about is if it good enough for me to hang out for a while it was good enough for them if you start seeing busted up pieces of sharp rocks your on them and the number 1 rule is don't give up!!! When I started all my experienced buddies would skunk me every time but they helped me in my head by telling everybody has to pay their dues and that did help. Once you find that first one its on!!!!!So get after it and good luck

Tried to pm you chase, says you quota is reached or something. No hurry I'll be on the hunt for years to come 😉

[Owsley]

That's what I was hopping for, never expect a honey hole but a point in the right direction goes a long ways.

Welcome & continued good luck from SE VA.

What helped me find my first point was finding a person to talk to in my area about where they have found or know of people finding artifacts! Good luck!

[SDhunter]

I would go back to your friends ranch, and hit that hard. You shouldn't have to drive very far from where you live to find many spots. Good luck

Welcome from Rhode Island. I do believe chase can help,you out, he knows that area...

[justinberry]

Search your area/state history on arrowheads.com and the interwebs to learn the tribes and their camp sites and hunting sites. Totally different area to artifact hunt than where I live so I have no idea how you guys do it but welcome to the forum and good luck.

Welcome. Chase may be your best contact for site assistance. Not aware of folks who live in your immediate area on this forum but you live in an artifact rich area. Buffalo jumps, camp sites and river/stream walks on gravel bars have to be plentiful around you. Just remember hunt where legal and with permission.
