Hello Terry! I bought your book a few years back and I told you when we talked on the phone that I would keep you posted of my progress. I've looked my whole life and I'm happy to say I finally found my first point! I read your book several times and looked for years and never gave up. I used the techniques I learned from you with much success. I've been in several plowed fields and especially those close to swampy type lakes. I found a few fields that almost ran right into the water and the roads were covered with flint. I was with a friend and we worked this cotton field on the rows at the lowest points which were closest to the water and the ones that were still muddy or pooling. I've found several points and partials as well as lots of broken blades. My friend has done well too. The rock here in Arkansas is beautiful and some of the lithics are a deep maroon and cream color. Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips in the book that led me to my first actual find! I've sent some pictures of the field and some in situ photos. So far the hardest part is getting back in the car and leaving the field! Michael (Michael's photos are shown below:)

| One of our customers sent in a couple of in-situ photos of his finds, and I asked him if the book helped him out with any good tips, to which he replied: |
Yes, your book surprised me on where to look...I had no idea to look in certain spots, but it makes perfect sense. A friend of mine suggested I check out this one cemetery and to my surprise I found a partial arrowhead, just as your book stated. Also I've been able to identify artifacts that I wasn't completely sure of what they were or if they were artifacts at all.... Money well spent...Thanks!!

| Well, even though endorsements further down were submitted earlier, I just had to move this one up to the top... It's from one of our earliest customers to purchase the book, telling of her finding artifacts by using the techniques she learned from our book: |
| |
| Woooo Hooo Terry, I did it!!!! |
| I just got back from Northern Nevada looking for artifacts (on private property). Following the advice in your book (since I've read it 3 times) I concentrated in an area that had a lot of flakes and chips. FIRST I found a small, nice little blade; then nature called and since there were 9 of us roaming around in the area I walked over to a sand dune behind a large sage brush to answer the call of nature. (sorry, but this is the way it happened). While there I was eye level with the base of the sage brush and I saw this interesting rock underneath it, so I pulled it out.....it is an effigy of a beetle type bug...a beauty and the find of my lifetime I'm sure! Thank you Terry for writing such a wonderful book. Linda (Linda and her pumice stone zoomorphic figurine are pictured below:) |

| And we have another GREAT BOOK REVIEW from the G.I.R.S. (Genuine Indian Relics Collector Society) in their latest Prehistoric American publication (Vol. XLIV, Number 3, 2010) They mostly used my description of the book and it's contents, finishing the review with their own opinion: "Baxter's book is an excellent resource for the beginner, and a great review for the seasoned collector"... thanks, Gene! |

| Not to toot my own horn... Well, what the heck, it's my website... I "think" I'm allowed... (Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head!)... |
| Gary Fogelman was kind enough to give us a MOST FAVORABLE Book Review in his latest Indian Artifacts Magazine (Vol. 29-2, May 2010) which in part stated: |
| "Written in a very easy to read and comprehend manner, it's immediately apparent the author is 'one of us'." (I consider that to be an extremely high complement, Gary, Thank-you!) |
| ...Gary further states: "A strong point from my perspective are the various precautions to be undertaken before going afield. One would do well to read these no matter where you are from or where you are collecting." |
| ..."The section on the various ways to locate and identify possible site locations, and the variety of sites to look for, is most interesting and contains information that will be useful to all collectors." |
| ..."I recommend it highly, there's a boatload of useful, helpful and enlightening information." Gary L. Fogelman |
| Thank-you for taking the time to give my book such a GREAT review, Gary, I know you're a very busy man, and this was GREATLY Appreciated! |

| Just wanted to let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed your book. It is far more informative than any book I have ever read in the past and very easy reading; also enjoyed your humor. When I'm with my hunting buddies in California or Nevada, they take me to their proven hunting spots, so it's hard for me to know how to locate any of my own spots in Texas, but now I know how to go about it! I have already started working on the maps and I will let you know if I have any success. I am so glad you took the time to write that book and share your knowledge with people like myself. |

| Thank-you, Linda!... I think the thing I'm most proud of is, it's the first (and only) book which brings arrowhead and artifact hunting into the 21st century by using 21st century technology as part of the process... not to mention that I dug back more than 15 years into my photo library of sites I have discovered or visited and hunted myself in the past to give solid examples of what to look for... I know that if anyone tries even half of the suggestions made in my book, they'll increase their odds of finding ancient artifacts 10-fold! Send me some photos of your finds when you get out in the field. regards, Terry |

| I just received my Western Artifacts limited edition collectors book, and I want to say thanks! It is full of very useful hunting techniques that I never thought of. I can't put the book down! I think I will put the book in a display case because it IS a G -10 artifact! This is my favorite book and I have many! I'm going hunting today and Saturday, the rain will help uncover some points I hope. My hunting buddies and I throw on the rain gear and go in the rain, with great success. |
| Fred - California |
| |
| Thank-you, Fred!... Funny you should mention hunting in the rain, because it's one of my many suggestions contained in the book... I'm sure you're going to have a good laugh when you get to that part! |
| |
| Terry, just had the chance to (finally) sit down over the past couple of days and enjoy your book – great job and thank you! As the weather begins to lend itself to being outside, I really look forward to taking advantage of all that you’ve taught me. THANK YOU, and congratulations on work done extremely well! |

Terry,
I received your new book last Thursday and read it completely that evening, and have already re-read it 2 times since then. It is easily the Best Book available on hunting Arrowheads and other artifacts, that I have ever read.. The chapters flow in an easy fashion, yet are packed with useful information... The color pictures really add to the information and really round out the Book.. even though I've been hunting points for 16 plus years, I definitely Learned a Handful of Useful tips... I will most certainly recommend Your book to anyone interested in getting into Hunting Artifacts. Thanks for writing it!!!! |

Terry,
Your book arrived and I read it cover to cover in an hour. Now I am on my third time through. It has opened my eyes to so much around here. I started searching farmers fields yesterday and found dozens of pieces of obsidian in my first outing. I am also going to dedicate my summer and fall to locating ancient sites. Thanks again for sharing your
knowledge and for signing my book!! Thanks Terry!
