I have has a strong interest in Native American history, which includes artifacts, though I must say I haven't had the time to really dig into it. As a young kid in the 1960's I lived in Tucson, AZ, near an old US military fort; I think it was Ft Lowell. In the desert behind my house (about two miles from the fort) and after rains I use to find shards of painted pottery, but no arrowheads. There were also all kinds of bullets and casings from what appeared to be the 1880's. Somehow, in moving over the years they got lost. We also found a buried stash of obsidian flakes (I think that is what they are called) near a creek that flows into Gallatin River in Montana.
I now live northeast of the KC area in an area I have been told is rich in artifacts. I suppose everyone is told this. Not having any real experience in hunting for artifacts in this area, the few times I have been out I have found nothing, though my know-how and skills are basically zilch. My questions are these: Are their Indian artifact clubs in the area or someone who might be interested in teaching me the ropes? Also, I am sure there is ton a of articles on the subject, any recommendations?
