Where I'm at it's sometimes hard to find good rockbars on the river. They are mostly sandbars. I feel more confident when looking on a rock bar than a sandbar. I feel like if there's an artifact on a sandbar it's probably covered by sand. Should I look for a better location with gravel bars or do sandbars actually produce?

Yup, like Tom mentioned the edges, water line, and water areas around sand bars can be good. You might have a good old rocky patch underwater upstream of the sand bar, or occasionally channels carve out downstream of them.
Unless you have some really dynamic flooding that is actively eroding stuff from the banks and dropping it on a sand bar (think steep walls that are collapsing in on the river), I've rarely found anything old on a sand bar. Sifted/grubbed lots of stuff out of the edges.
