Arrowhead Hunting with the Big Dig Florida 

I aged again. It was a big one this time so I wanted to do something new. Not REALLY new like skydiving, but new as far as collecting is concerned. I have always loved arrowheads and I decided I wanted to find an arrowhead in Florida. The laws are very strict about hunting on public land in the sunshine state, so its private property or nothing. Luckily I found a company called The Big Dig Florida who has digging events on private property for ... ARROWHEADS! They allow you to dig or table sift and I wanted the best opportunity so we went with the table. That's where an equipment operator digs up the dirt and dumps it on a steel table. Then you push the dirt through the screen and pick out the artifacts. We stuck with it for the full 8 hours and found a tremendous amount of percussion flakes made of all sorts of beautiful chert. We found some potential tools also, and to top it all off - my birthday wish came true! This video is from the spot they were calling the Cross Creek site which is now closed but I'm glad we were able to experience it at the tail end of its brief existence on the artifact hunting landscape. They have other spots now, all different but all new!
