Florida was the end place for several Native American tribes. This means it is a treasure trove of arrow heads and other Native American artifacts. The best places to find arrow heads in Florida are in the Florida State Parks system as this covers much of the old Native American territory. Unfortunately, the laws in Florida do not allow the removal of arrow heads in Florida or other artifacts from these sites. These historical sites are protected. However, there are still ways you can go artifact and arrow head hunting in Florida.

The best way to arrange a site to hunt arrow heads in Florida is to go to one of the Florida state run museums of American and Natural history. Talk to the people there and they will be able to give you the correct contact information for state sponsored archeologists so that you can look on one of their sites.

If you happen to find an unmarked historical site on your own, it is important to remember that it is against the law for you to remove anything from the area. The best thing you can do is photograph the site and the artifacts, mark the area on a map, and report it to state authorities so that it can be marked as protected. This will ensure that the area is not used for development and can be enjoyed by future generations who come to find arrow heads in Florida.

Finding arrow heads in Florida is not as easy as in some of the midwestern states where there was more Native American activity. However, you can still find arrow heads in Florida and many other interesting artifacts if you are willing to look.

As with any area, it is important to leave the wilderness areas as you found them. This means taking care not to destroy the plant life as well as not leaving garbage behind. Florida is steeped with a rich cultural heritage that is not often explored. Looking for arrow heads in Florida is a great place to start your journey through time to connect with the ancient Native American culture and ways of life.

If tromping through the parks is not your idea of fun, you can still see authentic arrow heads in Florida and learn a lot about the Native American tribes of Florida from one of the many museums located around the state. You can find the locations of these museums by going to the local visitor's center or by looking them up online.
