A number of theories predict that dark matter is a supermassive particle or composite state. Discovering dark matter in this high mass regime requires different approaches. I will survey recent developments, including composite dark matter that produces unique signatures in underground experiments and dark matter detectable through thermonuclear reactions in Antarctic ice. I will also survey certain experiments from the 80s and 90s, which still provide the best sensitivity to many varieties of high mass dark matter.
