Arrowheads and projectile points can be found in various places throughout much of Pa. The easiest way for inexperienced people to experience the thrill of finding that much sought after artifact is by finding flat, plowed farmland near a water source such as a stream, river or even as small as a spring. Being able to identify the materials ancient peoples used to make their knives, scrapers, spears and arrows helps a lot. The most commonly used types of stone in Pa are flint, jasper, quartzite, and chalcedony. These stones stand out in cornfields due to their distinct coloration; dark black flint, red, brown or yellow jasper, sparkling quartzite with quartz inclusions. If you can find the flakes of these stones where you're looking you will, with luck and persistence, find what you're looking for. If you're looking for specific locales, most hunters prefer to keep their best sites for themselves. But if you need some suggestions in the Berks County area, let me know....I could help. Good luck and happy hunting. Mdelong11@Yahoo.com
