In the Glades..
Been all over that place for bout 55 years or so, never found an arrowhead.
I was once sitting under a big old shade tree on some High Ground resting from the Florida sun and got to scratchin around some. Found some bits of pottery and turtle shells. Told some folks about it and next time I went back it was gridded off in sections with square pits dug everywhere. Heard they dug a canoe out of the mound later .
No access after that, fences and signs.
Reason I figure I can't find arrowheads is cause the Indians didn't bow hunt much down here.
Deer were few and far between , it was mostly a Seafood diet. Oysters don't run fast and turtles, Sea cows , Fish, Gators , ain't all that hard to catch. No need for a bow really.
Maybe it's the mud and water...
Hard to see the ground part of the year, rest of the year it's muck. Stuff get's buried quick in muck.
Don't tell me I got my eyes closed cause them Cottonmouths make sure your Defcon 5 wherever you walk.
Think it,s a just reason ?
I been lookin hard for years.
