No telling what we might find ,near my home close to Hannibal Mo or my ranch in Colorado , by the Spanish Peaks in the San Isabelle national forest or anywhere in between . Relentless wonderer of remote areas I film in publicly accessible areas for historical documentary footage and to see whats out there in the wilderness. Remember you can walk or fish in any creek. in missouri anytime if you enter legally thru a public road easement by a bridge or culvert since 1954 we have a supreme court ruling called Elder and Delclure exercise your supreme right come and take a walk anytime your always welcome in Missouri's parks creeks rivers and streams.
When I was ten years old, my family made the long drive ( for a ten year old) from the San Francisco Bay Area to the tiny Northern California town of Gerber to watch a steam threshing bee. My dad, who grew up on a farm in Kentucky, at the age of fifty- one or so, starting pitching wheat like he had never left the farm. I was a bit awe struck. Had to check the whole video to be sure that they had given the drive belt a half turn, which causes it to center itself on the drive and driven wheels….
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 Oh I'm sure. It's just kinda... funny. Like, they stayed here for a long time. But then for some reason one day they just... weren't there anymore.
I have been thinking about getting into relic hunting. I think it would be an awesome experience for me and my son. I have heard stories of my uncles finding points when they were kids long ago.
My sister and her husband bought some land in Piedmont NC and he found a big old granite hand axe in some headwaters. It surprised me because the rock was so granular. It was hard, but not a very sharp edge. We used to look around east of there on more like the coastal plain where there is no granite where axes were always more rounded. It's so damn humid and full of snakes and ticks, you only want to go in there late Fall to early Spring.
His nose is extra long too... Is that the tiny little face on the end with the comic thwack bow and arrow? If so, must have been a big bear, lol... (I imagine kids carving these flatter ones telling tall tales, 😅)
So I just moved back to Eastern TN. With the help of this video i found my first spear point. Your video helped and for that im subbing. Awesome channel!
please if you're going to loot artifacts at least take a GPS point of where you find it (easy in google maps app.) along with a picture of said artifact from both sides, and give it a reference number. Keep the information (lat/long, artifact #, attached pictures) in a spreadsheet in the same physical proximity as the artifacts. I'll only wring my hands about personal collectors so much but a lot of relevant history gets lost when these things just show up with zero context in private collections a ton of information that could enlighten us about the past gets completely erased.
Hey nice find! You should turn that turn slowly every possible angle and look for different animals there are Paleo carving that are found and usually you find the bear easily. For example turn that rock so that the ear of the bear is in your palm look at the bears but and look for a beaver face.
@@AlexanderGarcia-tg7xn he might have a dog face in there too. Most of my bears are exactly as you say with the beaver on the 'next page' too. Hit him with candle light and see how he looks. Some show they're full glory, some it's a waste of time and are better in light.
Question forgive me I'm new at this and it's just an observation but that's seemingly needle in a haystack looking kind of technique... why would you want to look in a creek with a gazillion rocks that look like the same material used to make the artifacts? Didn't the natives take the rocks out of the creek and work them on dry land at there favorite spot? We have a giant sandstone that predates man out here close to where we live and it's a one of a kind in both it's mega size and shape (upside down teardrop that gets narrower the further it goes down) the size of small shed and about 10 ft tall from where ground starts. The broad top is almost flat and there's strange shells, structure with tiny crustaceous looking fossils sparsely seen imprinted all in it I haven't worked the site yet but I'm almost certain it was a institutional magnet for natives all the way back to the earliest days. Heck it's a magnet for young teenagers partying even in current times.. I'm going to start sifting around there when it cools off ... but wanted to thank you for the inspiration! I've found this digging sifting quite therapeutic and we have creek that I think might be near perfect not quite as large but with rocks consolidated along a sharp bend
That's a great spot for artifacts native Americans lived in that valley from clovis to when it was settled in the 1800s. Its more interesting to look in a creek than a dirt field.
At 7:40 you almost step on a rock shaped exactly like one of those squirrel shaped .22 targets Like exactly. Head, all feet and a bushy tail all in proportion
Do you allow folks to email you asking for your opinion on found pieces ? Such as beginners who think they might have something but arent sure. Up here in the Adirondacks its rare to find easily definitive artifacts, it can take a keen eye with experience.
I know, maybe too much. I've been told several times that I have gold seams in my quartz, when gold does not occur where I live lol. Theres a whole lot to comb through.
Usually there's lots of wildlife there but a major shift in weather was occurring a huge storm was on the way that day all animals had already seeked shelter.
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 not every rock is an artifact,in fact nothing in your video looks like an artifact at all.( Ironically everything fits in the hand). Just my opinion.✌️
Right on brother yeah I'm gonna go up and take a walk with my dad Thursday and Friday this in sw Missouri it may be too late but this is the first chance I've had to make it good luck brother
