Two years ago, I met a group of artifact enthusiasts at Warwick City Park (9/23/18). Got all excited, read Yeager's "Arrowheads & Stone Artifacts" and visited constructions sites, streams, lake shore s and fields here in New Hampshire. Tried to do "homework" and research. Went on 8-10 "hunts" but not a flake let alone a tool or point. Got frustrated. Time passed, Covid, etc. Now restarting my "bucket list" desire to find some artifacts to pass on to my kids. In early August I am travelling from NH to western PA to attend family event. It is hot summer with fields planted, lakes full, rivers down or drying. Here is question: What would be my most likely successful strategy? 1) bring a raft or canoe and travel along rivers and look for gravel bars, sand bars, look in water with rocks, not mud and stop at areas where a small stream enters, get out there an look more closely.... 2) look on edges of planted fields(with permission) or 3) suggest a plan or strategy
I have 524 miles between southern NH and Clearfield,PA and a week to look. I have no sites, rivers, streams, fields or definite destinations. Just looking for some words of encouragement and perhaps a suggestion even as vague as PA vs CT vs NY, etc. I have read all the posts and understand the need for homework, and the ethics of looking , etc...Just has not worked out for me YET. Any words of wisdom or advice would be most appreciated.....Thanks....footgepp in NH
