Lookin to get some info on rivers or areas that are open to the public where you can and find arrowheads, sharks teeth, artifacts. I know ive heard of a river but cant remember the name. Also what time of year would be best to go. Thanks

I would imagine any of them would have artifacts in them. I know the Hills river in Upper Hillsborough WMA is really low right now. You can cross it in regular hunting boots(may be higher now since yesterdays rain) They close the gates year round, so you would have to hoof it in there.

My next door neighbor is an archaeologist, and one of only a hand full who can authenticate artifacts. Maybe shoot him an email

I also have found fossilized manatee bone there.

Yeah, the Peace River is pretty well-known for the large shark teeth, even megalodon. Because it runs down through the Highland Ridge, cutting through the heart of phosphate mining country, its waters carry an abundance of fossils, shark teeth, artifacts, etc.
