Dry Creek Bed

[The Ol Professor]

Where should you look for arrowheads in a dry creek bed?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Good starting point is on a gravel bar

I've read that certain turns in the creeks and rivers can be great spots to check as well.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Yes! Anywhere gravel piles up and keep an eye on the walls of the banks for anything sticking out.

I have a small creek that runs through one of my tracts. I mean small in that I can jump across it without getting my feet wet. It feeds into a larger creek that feeds into the TN River. When summer comes the small creek usually runs almost dry. I spent many an hour digging in the creek bed and have found dozens of bird points. I usually don't find the larger points digging but I find them just by walking the creek bed. I have dug up all kinds of bone artifacts over the years but it is hard work. I assume they used the small creek for their water source and prepped their food there due to the amount of fire pits around the small creek. Walking and looking are a great beginning. Good luck.
