Since I have fond memories of a wonderful summer in the rural areas of Ohio and Indiana,(central and southeastern Ohio,and Brown county Indiana) as a kid,I'm enjoying your explorations. I'm living in a certain city in Florida and I'm grateful for having those memories...Life was full of trouble back then..However,the times I got to spend running those fields,creeks and woods stay with me when it gets dark in my old age... Thanks.Appreciate your sharing...Be Blessed🙏☝
As an Avocational Archaeologist(I'm licensed under the Provincial Ontario guidelines-I can keep my surface finds(I'll donate my rather extensive collection to the Lakehead University Anthro., Dept.), I can also do surveys but I cannot dig until I take an approved Archaeology Field School & of course pass but I am a graduate Forestry Technician & some of my courses like Soils helps in my archaeological endeavours. But why I'm texting you fine folks in the USA is we do find arrowheads, lithics of anykind, walking down our creeks & I live in Northwestern Ontario right on the border of Minnesota, the sister town across our international border is named International Falls which is about 360 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. My towns name is Fort Frances. The river that separates us is called the Rainy River & the lake that borders us to the east is also called Rainy Lake, or Lac La Pluie to the French voyageurs that opened up the fur trade(I have fur trade artifacts from beads to gun parts from 1 of several forts that were built along our rivers & lakes. There was a fur trade co., on your side & was an American Fur Trade co., built by Jacob Astor. But our combined archaeology which is extensive started with the Paleo-Indians here about 9,000B.P. There are burial mounds on both sides of or shared border which have been attributed by the Hopewell Phase in the Ohio Valley. But I find my arrowheads & other Indian Artifacts on beaches or areas along the rivers & lakes or on farmers fields by water, which you can walk through as long as you get permission but I've never found them along creeks like you & other American artifact hunters seem to do like that father/daughter crew from Hawking Lithics, it blows my mind on how they find so many frigging points walking creeks. I swear, when this covid is over I'm going to ask one of you You-Tuber's if I could come down & you show me how t's done, otherwise how come you guys never show pottery shards as I use those to date my sites, anyways keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the information. Sounds like there are a lot of regulations in your area. I won’t lie, creek hunting is tough. I have some in creeks around here, I have one creek that seems to produce at least one point per hunt but it’s an all day hunt. We have the Ohio River and it has been dammed up. The raised water levels cut into the fields above. It’s set up perfectly for hunting artifacts. There are a lot of fields but most the land owners here don’t like people walking them, or they walk it themselves. The channels that find all the creek stuff, I’d say that’s just an ideal area. I’m right on the Ohio border and there were a lot of natives here. They are all time periods where I hunt, I have found 10,000 BC to 1800’s. Thanks for the good comment and thanks for watching.
We lost him 2 years ago Harry. He was great best friend I ever had. If you get one, be prepared for anything. They’re VERY curious and they like to run off sniffing for stuff. They’re not lazy either, like ya see on HeeHaw, he was so rambunctious until he was about 6. He was 165 lbs. they get big. And he loved to eat. Great memories with him, just 9 1/2 years isn’t long enough. Now I can’t bring myself to get another. If I live to be 70, then I’ll get one, so maybe we’ll grow ild together. Thanks for the comment 👍
yeah buddy, a quick view of your video makes me realize real quick how about 14000 years of human habitation left not much behind but finely crafted rocks and in just about 120 years we have all kinds of discarded stuff that won't decompose and will remain for 100,000 years or more.
Hey Scot, I love these boots! Thank you so much! I was out in the creek today and saw a yellowish colored like tail. I moved it a little with my awesome boots and it scampered down into the creek under some brush and got out of my reach. Do you have any idea what it might of been?
It’s polluted for sure. You can take the smaller stuff out but people always throwing tires in the river. I think the worst is all the chemical factories on the river that have been there for decades.
@@cleggsadventures I wasn't sure if it was Private or not I saw that you were up and down the public waterway that's why I asked. Because I had something said to me before in Tennessee going up and down the public water way, looking for " rocks " 😜
Jake very nice.. Hey did you ever think about bombing that cave for those knats? I mean tarp that entrance and roll some bug bombs in there and see if that fixes there asses??? It’s worth a try. BTW how far down are you digging? And you say you are into or below the clay layer?? Why don’t you sift that cave?
@@cleggsadventures Thank you sir! I've just recently discovered your channel. I haven't hunted any stone artifacts yet. I do find early nineteenth century stuff around my 200 yo house. My neighbor finds points in his garden 1/4 mile from my house. His property is nice flat land bordered by the Schuylkill River, (pronounced skew-cull) and a creek. I have access to a nice chunk of private property along the river and creek banks that I can walk to in minutes. You've got me itching to go searching.
