Hello everyone. I just wanted to ask some questions that may increase my hunting success. I live right outside of Gainesville Florida and I have private land that surrounds the Santa Fe Swamp. I have found about 5 whole arrowheads thus far and several scrapers and other chips. I have found them walking the roads and digging a few holes around where I have spotted some laying on the top of the surface.
Is there anything I can do to increase my odds at finding more? When I started digging I found some broken pieces in the area but I only dug about 2 feet down. Should I start digging deeper? Should I try moving up to the higher areas and digging random holes to see if anything comes out? I have done copious amounts of research and the area I live has several sinkholes and other ancient streams. I know some are off limits but I have 800 acres that I can dig on so I any help would be very greatly appreciated. If anyone in the area would like to know any of the history of the local people of the Etoniah chain of lakes, feel free to ask away.
I also was wondering if it would be worth going over the area with a metal detector? I cannot find a lot of information on the actual history of the Santa Fe Swamp area. I can find tons of information about the other areas around it but I cannot gain access to those legally. Thank you again for help, tips or advice. I will post some pictures of my finds so far from the past couple months.
