Find arrowheads on your property or in a local area that allows digging. If you come across an arrowhead, you can either keep it or use it to trade with other arrowhead collectors. It's important to know what type of arrowheads can be found where you live and their archaeological value. Contact your local Native American reservation center for pertinent information on the tribes that once lived in your area.
Search online stores that specifically sell arrowheads, for an idea on varieties and prices. For example, popular arrowhead-seller websites include Arrowhead.com and RelicShack.com, which allow you to search through online stores and users' auctions for arrowheads and other related items.
Go to the Arrowheadology website for the best way to connect with other collectors. This website includes a forum, galleries, classifieds and other valuable resources for arrowhead collectors. Simply create an account to join the forum, and look for those who are selling arrowheads.
Find arrowhead auctions in your area. Traveling arrowhead auctions that take place can typically be found in the events or classified sections of your local newspaper. Also, Native American antique shows may hold auctions for arrowheads.
Go to antique stores to find arrowheads, which typically are found in casings with other fragile antiques. This step is often left to luck, but with some persistence, it's possible to come across a great find. If you're looking for an arrowhead specific to a particular Native American culture, take a trip to the locations where tribes were present.
