Good looking stuff Renegade50! A lot of the pieces that you and Slumlord post from TN appear to be made of some sort of grey stone with long thin flake scars. It takes a good piece of flint to flake like that. Is this type of stone something that is commonly found in TN like a field stone might be? Around here (SE Georgia) all the stone suitable for knapping had to be brought in and much of it apparently didn't knap very well. I think most of it came from around middle GA.
Simon, on the coastal plane of Georgia they have been farming the same foot and a half of soil for well over 200 years. Much of that time was spent walking behind a team of mules or chopping cotton with hoe and many points have been found. I know of people that have thrown away boxes of artifacts that their family picked up over the generations of farming. Arrowheads are getting kind of hard to find in those same fields, especially whole ones.
Where we look is a couple of food plots that are about an acre in size. Only find stuff in a small area of both of them. 100 feet out of the "Zone" and you wont see even a small flake. You can walk firebreaks over the rest of the farm and you will find nothing. In one area we find a lot of pottery pieces as well as flakes, but not as many points. We have also found pieces of modern china, a clay pipe stem, a gaming piece made of pottery that was as round as a marble and buttons from the late 1700's. It must be an area that was inhabited for a long time judging from the variety of things found there. Both places are near the top of a sandy hill that is close to a water source.
