The Easiest, Simplest and Oldest Way To Find Arrowheads! 

I remember in the 70's dad got permission to hunt a pasture that was just plowed up for the first time. The old maps had the field labeled as a buffalo wallow. We found a couple banner stones, axes and hundreds of points. It was exciting day walking out of that field with two pockets full of arrow heads. We still find something in that field ever year since then.

This was my favorite activity with my Grandad. Sure miss wandering through the sand hills of Nebraska hunting blow outs with him. I still keep my eyes to the ground, I just don't enjoy it quite as much. Thank you boys for reminding me of how much fun it is.

Mighty fine editing, choice of music, and i absolutely love to see the excitement of finding a great or once in a lifetime find, trust me i know exactly how it feels gentlemen. I also love the people that enjoy collecting these artifacts for the right reasons. My wife and i absolutely love doing this together here in northeast Mississippi. Keep em comin fellers

Seeing this brings back precious memories for me. My grandad and I use to hunt arrowheads back in the 70's and I loved every minute of it. Spending time with my grandad was priceless. My luckiest find was not a whole point, but the back end of the point I decided to put in my stash and I walked about another 50 plus yards and found the front end of it to make it whole. What are the odds? Grandad and I used nail aprons from the local lumber store to carry our finds in. It was a wonderful time.

When I started watching Heartbreak Relics I hadn't started looking arrowheads, but you all inspired me to start. My mom had given me her collection many yrs. ago, and had always loved reading about Native Americans and sharing her knowledge of that with me growing up. So your videos and the information that y'all shared along with all the tips you showed, helped me be successful in my endeavors. I love all the videos and the cool places you go, and the guys that y'all share the artifact hunting with. Thanks for being educators, and great role models. 💖

OMG!!! If I found all of those arrowheads in the same day, I’d get so excited I would spontaneously combust 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your videos, and I adore your band of brothers ❤

I just found a drill and a birdpoint today and you just made me have the courage to hunt some more and found 2 more. Thank you Spike.

Treasures laying on the ground 😃 got many kids including my son to pick up this hobby..teach the young ones this awesome activity and it will keep them off the video gaming and the streets. Been field walking for 40 + years glad I found your channel 👍

Dudeeee. This is right down the road from my house!! Maybe half a mile. That's awesome

I did this activity in the late 70’s with my Grandma Jane in fields by her house in Winamac, Indiana… I put all my arrowheads in an old cigar box!! The memories as a young boy are forever remembered and priceless… love this video

Hard to beat some fresh dirt to walk with points to find! The anticipation of what you might walk up on is addicting. Then when you finally walk up on one, it takes a second to realize what you’re seeing. Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing Spike!

He's a real "stickler" for finding those points! And that was a really good hunt too. When I was around 6 years old we lived in northern Arkansas and I remember finding a beautiful obsidian point with near perfect symmetry just laying in the middle of "Sugar Creek". It became the prize of my collection. Soon there after a family came over to visit our family and the kids came in my bedroom to play. I turned around as one of them said "Hey look! It's flint. I can make sparks". Before I could say anything I saw him strike that obsidian point against another...breaking it in two! Sugar Creek, you broke my heart!

Spike I’m glad you got a chance to hunt a field , I’m the same way . They quit plowing around here 25 years ago and I’ve had to hunt bare spots in the foliage ever since , but I still love it . Thank you for sharing with all us .

Fellow artifact hunter here in North Florida... I've been doing it so long my daughter actually got a degree in archeology and anthropology from me dragging her around.

Always look forward to your videos! Love the positivity that shines through when looking for points. Thank you for the knowledge sharing and tips that you share along the way❤️

Love finding them in the field!! Some gorgeous points, congrats! You guys rock

Another great video Spike! Thanks for taking us along! 👍👍

What a great video!!! Love the way you blend the music and scenery in with your finds. Nice to see the passion and the excitement of a great find .

We used to pick up arrow heads right off the top of the ground on the edges of muck fields in west Michigan, this was in the late 60’s and 70’s , sure wish I would have kept them

Awesome !! Nothing better than walking a good field...

It’s great to see guys out looking for arrow heads. You enjoy the wildlife and if you find an arrowhead or pottery you will be in the bonus round! Love it. Have not been able to look for them like you guys but I damn will eventually will do it! Great channel live next door in Tejas!

I used to think I was weird to walk around and hunt for treasures...but then I found youtube!! My people!!

Cool finds Matthew and Spike. Well worth the time.

Great! Love those arrow heads! Especially the one with all of the golden and red colors!

Great vid Spike!!! And really nice finds!!! Nothing like field walking!!! 👍🏻

Can’t ever go wrong with a field! Nice finds GL👍👍

Cool video Spike! The mound spot is one of my favorite places. I hope yall went down and saw the creek. It's a beautiful place! Wish he would of plowed it this year, but I think they are going no-till.

It's amazing for some of us to think about how many arrowheads there are out there. After some thought, I think of how many generations of indians there were and how that adds up to arrowheads everywhere. It's like finding a bottle cap with a metal detector, but we've only had bottle caps for several decades.

Great Job... The Weather looks prime for hunting!!!

Glad to see another post from you great folks.

I live in Indiana, the land of the Indians. I’ve walked field after field after creek after field after sandbar after field after field. I have walked thousands of acres for hours and hours and I have found only 2 points in my life. Y’all have found about a dozen in the same general location in a couple of hours!! Absolutely amazing! How?!?! What the heck is going on??

Nothing like field artifact hunting. Great job on the video Spike 🏹

Awesome hunt congratulations on your finds beautiful points👍🙏

Only had the opportunity to walk some fields a couple times but had fun doing it! Joel grew up in Iowa and walked some fields there. Congrats!

.Enjoy his great camaraderie as if he had walked with you friends. Good piece that bulbous stem. Congratulations on this great team friends. See you next time.

Good video! The mound is a wonderful place. And you both found sweet finds. Take care.

Enjoyed this adventure with you from WA state 2023, TY

As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍

I found a few arrowheads in Missouri my grandparents had 80 acres and after a rain he would have me look where he had plowed.I couldn't stop until I found one.

Enjoyed yalls adventure nice points

Nice video, Spike. We have the same deal up here in Pennsylvania with the no till farming practices. Makes artifact hunting more of a challenge, but its the responsible way to farm with all the sediment issues down in the Chesapeake Bay from our river.

And as always. Enjoyed the video. Take care friend

Great video nice to see some nice finds coming up

Nice finds! I only have the ability to collect on fields, thankfully recently one of the properties I hunt on had a grass field overturned and on my 1st hunt I found my 1st drill, along with a cache with three small blades, and a whole bunch of other partial points/tools.

Love your videos!

I've found hundreds of points and artifacts over the years farming in the Midwest. Higher ground and hilltops seem to do the best. Especially in the spring after everything has freezed and thawed. Fall tillage helps bring them up. Just hard to find good bigger pieces intact anymore.

Great Finds! Another kool video!

New sub love your hat brother! Thanks for teaching us! I have been hunting for years around south western pa haven’t had much luck but they are here for sure so I’m learning all I find is deer sheds and nice old bottles

I grew up on a bluff overlooking a tributary to a river that was a lake/wetland following the Wisconsin glacial episode until it eroded through the valley train deposits and drained. Picking up Dalton points in the yard while growing up was fun.

Spike you know your surface hunting! I'm 65 now and use the same method,working fine for about 58 years! Hahaha

Cool video. I lived in east Arkansas for a lot of 62 years and there are mounds around there, and yes not all are burial mounds, most aren't. I've found thousands of heads and other artifacts walking fields. Also if get out in flat field and squat down and look around 360 degrees and see the high spots at close to ground level as possible look there, thats where a possible Indian settlement was, to be above the high water that would often flood the region. Also along rivers and Streams often in the bends and dog legs of the streams. I'm a addict going on 50+ years now keeping my nose to the ground. Keep up good work!

Awesome finds and video I always enjoy watching y'all.happy hunting.

cool finds, its great being retired Spike !

Nice finds Steve 🇬🇧👍

Good finds thanks

Back in the 70s I would do this with my dad and he had tons of points of all kinds. I have no idea what ever happened to his collection. He has since passed and in the clean out of his house and garage they were not found. I have been heartbroken we never found them. I would love to be able to hunt them somewhere one day and walk out with some points just to have in his memory.

I’m so happy I found your video! I’m a new hunter and my grandson walked in a river, bent over and found a huge one! Perfect condition. I am needing more advise as to finding and what to look for. I am in the river the entire time and the banks. Apparently I need to look in the fields! I’m worried about it being someone’s property! We do pick trash up every single time we go anywhere! Thanks for sharing!!

Nice work!

Great video!

Tobacco fields where I'm from are literally the best. They trench and flip12 to 14 inches.....let it rain and they are laying everywhere. The last time I went out I found one the width and length of my hand. My brother in law who is an avid hunter collector said because it was so ridiculous in size that it was most likely a ceremonial piece. I have about 150 other points but unfortunately no time now to hunt. I look at passing fields now like teenagers look at girls....I just mutter ....damn that's a good lookin field

I haven't found a arrowhead, but on the river shoreline here in S.C, I've been finding the pottery, and there is a big mound right there also.

Nice finds congrats

Some decent field finds.

Listen to this man folks.

My grandfather walked fields along the Willamette River after plowing, found dozens of points and scrapers, some near perfect condition 👍😎

This was very interesting! Good job 👏! Greetings from Palma de Mallorca 👍

Love ya'll thanks!

Sometimes I wonder...how many people in those times would like to live in theses times and visa versa knowing full well what those times entailed...

Working the fields like in the old days. At 75 I'd like to do it from an ATV.

Great video. Man it would certainly be fun to turn rocks with yah spike.

Hey Spike good hunt and nice artifacts. Always a pleasure watching y’all’s videos. God bless and good luck

GOOD MORNING MR.SPIKE HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING FINE SIR? I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO 😀👍♥️ 🖐

Just subscribed to your channel never been arrowhead hunting before which i like old marbles rocks and fossils might just add arrowheads to my hobby as well very cool good video keep it up

enjoyed that tremendously.. hunt corn fields shortly after they have been planted after a decent rain.. they pop

very fun! 💕👵

Hey, Spike, go to 16:40 on your video counter and look at the sky over your right shoulder - if that doesn't say, "X MARKS THE SPOT", then nothing does!

Took someone to one of my favorite spots once . Next thing he had 3 other folks out there . Won't do it again .

We use to picm arrowheads up by the pocketfulls, when we were kids growing up! The farmers would turn the ground, chissle plowing then disk plowing.They dont turn the ground anymore. Allso after a rain you could walk the same field and find more!

Hey Neighbor!! I hadn’t really thought about it before but I guess the Indian Mounds are common. I lived near A couple when I lived in Arkansas . (It does my soul good to see the familiar fields and landscape. There’s nothing I can think of off hand that’s more relaxing) The mound that was near me went straight UP! I’m going to guess and say 30-40 ft? It had some huge trees planted there and also was A Cemetery with maybe A dozen gravesite’s that we could see. Lots of flint at the base and in the fields. We didn’t stay long. The horses were real restless. They sensed or maybe saw A Bobcat . Ya know what though, there was another old Cemetery we’d ridden along the edge of and the horses got spooky there too. That Cemetery also had old Graves, but of Slaves in it instead . There was A old Plantation you could see from it. About the only thing I don’t miss from there would be the Mosquitoes (state bird lol and humidity)

Thats crazy ! i may have walked over thousands of arrowheads and never known it ! a salmon stream is right across the road from me in Washington St.

When we were growing up the winning combo was a good heavy disk job, then a good heavy rain. Dad said if we find any flint, it's an artifact, flint wasn't native, they'd have to trade with the Indians up near Erie. Come up with some nice blades over the years.

I live ten miles from Cahokia, on the old National Road (trail) and though an outdoors man, I've never found a single artifact.. but I never knew how to look for them before. Thanks - I better get busy.

Spike is da man!

That's a huge ceremonial mound. It may have had smaller mounds on top that have been lost over the years. There is a mound I know of in Madison Parish which also has white eye graves on top of it.

Nice 👍

My passion

I would love to meet up and hunt with you guys one day! Keep the content coming! I’m from Coffee co. Ga

Enjoyed 😉!!! Now your doin my kinda huntin! Lol

Had a friend turn me on to artifact hunting years ago. That's one thing he told me to look for were flakes. If you find flakes you'll find points. In western SC. points are everywhere. I look at it as a time machine.

Out here in Utah my grandsons and I went out looking for artifacts, we certainly found a whole lot of them. But it was all just broken beer bottles wine bottles of whiskey bottles. We didn't find any stone artifacts that would have been illegal

Thank you sir! New sub here.👍🏻

Nice

There were falls in the Columbia River called celilo falls, so many salmon below those falls it supported many tribes of Indians. They say there was an 8 mile long encampment on both sides of the river making it the largest town in America for who knows how many 100s of years. The paths beside the rivers. Several inches deep in solid rock. Artifacts, paintings and carvings were everywhere. I happen to grow up there to young to understand why the Indians were so upset about dynamiting those rock formations before building the Dalles dam and covering the falls and most spawning grounds for salmon. They also say the once mighty Columbia supported the largest salmon runs on the planet, with dried salmon found as far away as the Yucatan penenencla.but we fixed that, all for the bpa promise of cheap electricity for life..

Thank yall for posting all your adventures!!! So wish I was with yall sometimes lol. I was wondering.. I have lots of points found about 50 miles north of Panama city Florida. A few really nice ones-how can I tell what they are?

14:51 I’m gonna need a jump scare warning hahahaha

Dang spike I believe we came up and built that pole barn over there lol

Nice area and nice finds Spike! When you're hunting for points like this in plowed fields, would you hunt the same way for points in any state in North America? I live in Western Wisconsin and I'm wondering if I should hunt the same way where I live just like you do in this video. Thanks

Going to hunt Palo duro canyon my friend who hunted arrowheads stopped to see a old man.Joe said I once knew a guy with a Clovis axe head.The guy reached down and picked up one in the floor.He had another one and a room full of artifacts.He had an effigy of an Aztec face on a rock about 3 inches square.This probably meant there was trade between Texas panhandle and central Mexico.The area had much flint.Asked where he found his things all he said was "in the canyon".

My dad and I plowed up a field to plant a food plot for deer. Put a corn feeder down, planted the feild and a couple months went by. A few days ago he went to check the camera and there was an arrow head just laying under the deer feeder.

I was fishing a Creek in Arizona and thought I was picking up plastic pieces for a second and it turned out to be the most beautiful white and black pottery pieces.
