......that private museum on hwy 93 north of Jackpot NV? My wife and I stopped there about 20 years ago and then again this week.
The owner of the place was there. We know because he was in all of the pictures of many of the animals taken. Not only a great display of taxidermy but the arrow head collection is unreal as well.

He got in a bunch of trouble for some of the artifacts in the early 2000s. The collection was even more impressive before that...

His Name is Jerry Young!

Visited Him Many Years ago!

I Heard the Same thing Alwayshunting posted!

Heard The Government was trying to take/Seize some of His Collection!

An Impressive Collection of Game Animals as well!

My father-in -law and I hunted a private ranch near Devil's Tower in Wyoming many years ago. That rancher had a large collection of Indian arrow heads that he plowed up while doing cultivation of a field for his alfalfa crop. The field was located next to a creek bed and the Indians had used it for their camp many years ago.

The Boys doing things Legally Didn't Pick them up!

They left them laying there so the State Authorities can pick them up!

The Way they Lost them was shooting at Game!

Depends on where Camp was?

EDIT:Most of the Places I've Seen where they would Hide were in Dug Holes on Game Trails!

I Can Guarantee You The Game Today Still Cross in the Very Same Places!

Makes You wonder though,if it was the Same Breed of Game?

How Often You Seen an Arrowhead at 11,500+?

LAST EDITED ON Jul-07-19 AT 09:04PM (MST)[p]I had a friend that found a big arrowhead about 3 inches long black obsidian not from around these parts of the country (of course private property) at about 10000 feet right in the middle of a game trail. He did not mention anything about holes big enough for an Indian to hide in.

Elkassassin good read I had heard a little about the Redds struggles, I know a good friend of there's (not the same guy that found the arrowhead)

Homer when you say everyone finds arrowheads you are not talking about me, because I have went out and looked for them some and I can't find anything but chips. I have went with other guys they come back with 3 or 4 each and I have a chip.
Disclaimer all arrowhead hunting mentioned in this message has been done on private property

Thanks for this thread, i have got a sister in law that lives in Twin Falls next time we go and visit I will check out this museum.

Most arrowheads that people find, especially around a "camp" area, are partially finished or heads that were deemed unacceptable for hunting and thus tossed. There was no such thing as a 9 to 5 which left LOTS of time for perfecting arrowheads I imagine. Few were actually lost from hunting, it's not like they were shooting 400 fps Mathews back then. But most tips would break on a miss making them mostly useless so the shaft was kept and the head would be tossed. Point being, they had time on their side in those days so I'm sure alot of arrowheads were made and that's why they are so readily found homer... Just a guess

DeerMadness · Jul 8, 2019

It was private land, yes.

eelgrass · Jul 8, 2019

I wonder if 5000 years from now it will be illegal to pick up a brass shell casing from public land?

bugleb · Jul 8, 2019

One time in a little side draw next to road, I found an aluminum arrow and it had an indian arrow head right under it. It must be a good spot.

I don't know how things work everywhere eel but I deal with cultural bs for work sometimes and anything over 50 years is considered a "cultural site" and protected. So it already is illegal to pick up brass. If its older than 1969. I always tell my boss he better go hide in the office while the archys are there looking or they'll flag him....

Arrowheads are fine to pick up and keep. When you read the actual antiquities act, it specifically states that the act does not apply to arrowheads found on the surface of the ground. Later in the punishment section it again states that you cannot be punished for removing arrowheads found on the surface.

16 U.S.C. 470ee(g) (section 6 paragraph g)

(g) Nothing in subsection (d) of this section shall be deemed
applicable to any person with respect to the removal of
arrowheads located on the surface of the ground.

16 U.S.C. 470ff(a)(3) (section 7 paragraph a3)

(3) No penalty shall be assessed under this section for
the removal of arrowheads located on the surface of the
ground.

Now digging for arrowheads is a no no.

Homer · Jul 9, 2019

While heading to Monticello several times in the 80?s.....we would stop around Tuba city at the Indian road side stands and buy jars full of chinese arrowheads and we'd lose them all while hunting....lol

eelgrass · Jul 9, 2019

I know a couple guys who took their metal detectors on Forest Service land. They were detecting old placer gold tailings from the gold rush days. They didn't find any gold nuggets but found a couple square nails from back in that time period. The forest ranger quizzed them on their luck. They proudly showed him the old nails. The ranger proudly took the nails and wrote them a citation. I forget what the fine was, but not cheap.
