Hi, I live in the Corpus Christi area and I'm looking for an area to find fossils, arrowheads or artifacts. My son and I do not have any experience so I would prefer an organized dig. I want a place that we can keep anything that we find.

Thanks,

Thomas

Try Digfest?

Since all of TX is just one big fossil bed, finding is easy...The organised part means becoming affiliated with a Paleontology club which most larger cities have..Hit the Google search for an organisation that suits you

These clubs run monthly field trips. For example go back to frt pg, bottom R icon " 2004 CTPS SHARK TOOTH DIG " These clubs are great as they negociate getting onto private land normally off limits to the common man.
CTPS = Central Texas Paleontological Society.

Artifacts; see "metal detecting clubs " ( try some related key words in that search block above this message board )
Front pg again, top L..click " DIG YOUR TREASURES"....terrific places ( none in TX )

Places to actually dig for Flint artifacts is very limited, have to make your best judgement from what you see ( and use the search block ) on these pages. Right at this moment TJ's & Nacho's screen digs are red hot ( wont last forever ! ) The once a year Digfest has the values you stated, good outing to see what it's all about, thats in 3 weeks.

Kids really love the metal detecting thing. You can rent a beginner's metal detector for your kids. Enjoy your time.

Corpus Christi Geological Society organizes a trip to a quarry each year LOADED with Pleistocene fossils. Juan Cabazos is the man you want to talk to. Very nice guy and if they still have the trip its almost a guarantee that you will find something.
