Re: arrowheads

Danny, you don't seem to be getting any hits on your request for a place to hunt arrowheads in Brown County. This sort of question turns up on this site every now and then and whether its Brown County or Austin County or Brazos County, the request is always the same. You are asking for something for nothing. If you are really interested in collecting artifacts in Brown County then do your homework. Read up on the history of Brown County, visit the local museum , talk to the profs at the University. Go to the lake NW of town and see if its okay to walk the shorelines.
Get a detailed map of Brown County, find all the waterways, get a set of U.S. Geo. topo maps and get a set of soil maps from the ag agent. Talk to the natives, find out who the land owners are through the Central Appraisal District. Hang out in taverns and coffee shops keep your ears open and ask questions. If you want a place to dig or surface hunt in Brown County then go earn it

Re: arrowheads

The Concho Valley Archeological Society bulletin of March 2008 has an article on collecting Indian artifacts from the shores of Lake Brownwood in Brown County, Texas. The Backbender's Gazette, the news letter of the Houston Gem and Mineral Society, March, 2009, has an article on collecting fossils at the spillway on Lake Brownwood. A list of activities available to the public on one of the Lake Brownwood websites included, hiking, bird watching and nature studies. Nature Studies is one really big category.

Re: arrowheads

ACH du Lieber Red, you have touched on one of my favorite fossil hunting spots. .

That Brownwood spillway is SPECTACULAR. If Danny wants to check it out with a
minimum of hassle, there is a Yosemite park style overlook there, right behind the big Dam maintenance Bldg. Just drive up.
There could be a sign in the vicinity that says something like "stay out of spillway"
Our fossil field trippers once had to sign in at the bldg then sign out so they could be sure of no bodies
left under a rock.

A lot of fossil can be pretty small and included in some very hard Dolomite but it's all interesting to see how mother nature has cut into that part of TX
