Hey everyone, my name is shawn. welcome to my channel! This channel will be all about my hobbys. this channel will primarily focus on native american artifacts but i also plan to share metal detecting and rockhounding. Every day i am learning more and more about my hobbys. I hope you'll come along with me on this adventure and maybe even learn something anlong the way.
Is there metal in marble? Or just toy marbles? I ask because I've seen some ivory white marble countertops w gold flakes/ribbons that give marble that distinct appearance...
@@19SAA88 there's few spots on Seneca Lake where they wash out into the water, the water makes a wonderful polishing agent. Brociopods,Trilobites, Corals, Crinoids ,Gastropods, the cool thing is they wash right out of the shale and are whole and polished ,been finding them since i was a kid.if you ever get up this way,try a place south of Geneva called Kashong Creek.
Nice sized piece Shawn.How did the clean up go? Could you tell if it was a blade or partial point? Looks like Onondaga chert from this end.nice find regardless.stay good brother.
It cleaned up nicely. I think it is a blade. It's more than likely Onondaga chert that is prominent in my area. I will have a long format video out with this in it in a few weeks.
@@worf7680 the area I look in has been active since paleo. I myself haven't found paleo but my local museum has local paleo stuff. no need to stage. have probably 15 permissions and all yield artifacts
Your Viedo brings back memories, I hunted South Jersey 1969 to 1990 ,most of my sites from this time are gone but got a sizeable collection never found a stone axe!
Sorry to hear your sites are no longer accessible it's sad we are covering every inch of our planet with parking lots of buildings. I haven't found any axes yet either. I did find the tip to a celt in one video. I hope you'll subscribe to my channel and come with me on more adventures. Maybe I'll find and axe soon!
I hear a lot of people talk about ulster Co. There is plenty to be found out there. Knock on some doors and get some permissions. Harves season will be here soon. And tilling season next year, you'll be ready to go.
I believe you can find them in any Creek. Maybe the conditions have to be just right? I look for arrowheads in a cornfield that floods all the time, and I find concretions in that field. And now some in this Creek. Check out my channel if you are into stuff like this!
They are actually relatively easy to find just do a little bit of research on the area you live if there was native activity locate some waterways near you and look for plowed Farm Fields look for the high spot in the field it always get permission
One of my favorite time periods to find Shawn, would those be considered Owasco period in your area or being in Penn. Is that another peoples altogether? Not sure how far Owasco peoples reached down that far south although its believed that they orginatited from that area originally.pottery and points look similar, especially that older concave base levanna.
@russcalabrese7561 All three arrowheads found in this video are levana's and are from the late Woodland period. I'm not 100% sure what indigenous people lived in that area as I'm not 100% familiar with Pennsylvania.
Nice little haul there. With the levanna's, seems to me from what I find, the later the period, the more thinner and well made they are with the older periods being thicker,more crudely made and have a concave bottom on most of them, also, seems like earlier periods used a lot more different chert types where the later periods are pretty much all Onondaga chert that looks similar to the shade that you found there (at least in my area in the finger lakes ).The large point still super nice even with the small chunk missing,can't go wrong with that for sure . Always enjoy seeing what you guys find,much appreciated!😊
Thanks for watching!! From what i understand, the older the cultures had to travel more so they would have come across different material. The later cultures stayed in one place for longer and would rely on trade for different colored materials. Also, the levanna are so thin because they would have been attached to an arrow wear as older stuff were mounted on spears and atlatls. Levanas and Madison were true arrowheads. And now they believe that even Jack's Reef may have been the first ture arrowhead.
@@19SAA88 I've heard that about the Period containing Jacks Reef points, makes sense with them being pretty small points. The areas I find owasco material in Ontario county, especially this one huge area, contained components from all three periods of owasco containing the triangles and pottery sherds as well as polished bone implements and the usual stone tools.the cool thing is this large site has all three owasco phases, Carpenter Brook, Canandaigua,and Castle Creek, ranging from 1000 to 1300 A.D. roughly (very roughly) about a thousand years apart. All in different hot spots all over the same area of course. The hot spots containing the older Carpenter Brook materials and the Canandaigua phase are ALOT closer to the water source which is a large stream while the latest Castle Creek sites are quite a bit back from the water source suggesting warfare between groups was heavily increasing.this was the period just before the Iroquois(Haudenosaunee)proper. Thanks for responding Shawn. This early iroquoian period is so cool to me because I've found so much of it over the years,sorry to go on so long on ya but I get pretty pumped up on this stuff,thanks for putting up with me! Love your site man!
