If you want artifacts, sneak out in some guys cornfield in late summer (so nobody can see you). The plow will turn over arrow heads and other prehistoric tools. In Tennessee, I’ve found arrowheads and lead balls from the civil war.

Anywhere from San Antonio west into the Edwards Plateau. The stuff is *everywhere* in SA and the Hill Country.

There is more good chert than a man can haul off at Pace Park in Salado (just south of Temple) off of Stagecoach Rd (east of I-35). It is a state park so take care who sees you carting off rocks. Good material for knapping though. The Pedernales river is another good place to find good chert. Another really good place to find really good knapping quality root beer, and black flint and other cherts is anywhere along the North, and/or South San Gabriel river. Especially along the South San Gabriel in Georgetown, east of I-35. Other than that I usually hunt flint and chert in nearly any creek bed in Texas. Texas is made of flint and limestone. It’s not hard to find around here (Austin). Hope that helps. Happy hunting.

By the way. Pace Park is one “HUGE” Indian camp ground. I find a few points nearly every time I go out there. They can be picked up off the surface and from under the picnic tables. The whole park is an old mound dating back to paleo era.
