Mound City Relics arrowhead hunting tips Hello and welcome to Mound City Relics. St Louis was previously called Mound City because of all of the Indian mounds scattered throughout the area. There are still mounds in downtown St louis at forrest park. Forrest park was where the 1904 worlds fair was held. Due to the fairs history, the park is well protected, thus insuring at least a few prehistoric mounds survive here. I found my first arrowhead, hunting with my Father when I was five years old, in SouthEast Missouri. My collection has grown since those days, but I still remember the days when all you had to do was pull over to a site, jump out, and start finding relics! Here are a few things I look for - The first livable well drained high ground, next to the ancient water systems, almost always show signs of prehistoric occupations. Look for, old sloughs, river channels, small creeks/streams and where these might meet. Go buy a topographical atlas guide for your state, from Walmart/Sams. It shows all the county roads, the rivers, hills, creeks... Then take a drive to those places in your own back yard you never knew exsisted. I mark in the atlas to show where I been, and what I think looks promising, I grid it out like a dig and survey the area out well. Think about this ... how many of your sites are right by the road? Maybe thats why its getting harder to find anything. You can and should find new sites off the beaten path and make them your own! Another good resource is www.topozone.com you can look up any area in the U.S. and scroll around from there in different scales and modes. If you really want to get into it, I suggest a GPS with at least a map mode. A good free program for GPS and mapping software is www.easygps.com I have a lot of my sites saved with their coridinates to my computer using easy GPS -- Good luck hunting, and remember, its almost always easier to buy relics but not as fun!!
