Thanks for this realistic hunt! Much enjoyed! Viewers watching pared down videos showing the best finds, may not realize the hunt itself is satisfying even if unproductive. Your small plastic rake makes a great tool for scraping without injury. Fun to tag along & enjoy the moody day!
Hey Rockdog, I hope this comment finds you well. Thank you for the information in this video. I live in Ohio near old Hopewell Indian ruins and I look through the water systems to find tools used hundreds of years ago. With this video, I’ve found arrowheads and a scraper! I’ve since donated them to my local history museum. Thank you!
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!
Why don't you use a polarizing lens on your camera to minimize the reflections off of the water surface? or polarizing glasses to increase the clarity of vision in the clear streams?
It's amazing what gets missed in some of the popular creeks. Everyone looks for points, but I've managed to find some nice little hand-axes in some of the most heavily searched areas.
Man, I have been looking for 20 years and have only found one perfectly intact arrowhead. Meanwhile, my mom comes over to my house, walks in the field to look for "pretty rocks" and finds a very nice maul with a nice groove.
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.
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.
Yep when it's that quiet and in a secluded backwoods area it must be a Bigfoot around and about !!! I would start a production work day in all that gravel for my eyesight ain't that good for just walking and trying to spot something so definitely a shovel and large classifier sifter of some kind !!!
I have 8 wolly mammoth effigys from that creek countless bears wolves owls eagles. I'll probly make a video of all the tools I found there since fall I got several hundred nice ones.
I’ve been hunting for artifacts recently and found a few arrow heads. I live in Indiana so it’s funny I come across ur video Bcs the otama trail of death AKA patawatomi trail of death started here in Indiana and I’m actually about to start hunting the trail
We have several campsites here where they rested at for a couple days at local families bought markers and erected them with a few paragraphs about their passing thru.
@@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.
So many Effigys the last toss😮 was a buffalo 😂 are you just interested in arrowheads? I love the animals that are also a tool a very small rock can have multiple purpose plus be portrait
We had 6 inches of rain in that spot nx week ill find a bucket full of stuff there the county road crew dug it all up with road graders be sure to watch this is the greatest paleo spot anywhere
Why are there so many arrowheads? Why didnt the indians go get the arrows that they shot to use over again? I always try to find any of the arrow with arrowheads that I shoot, I dont leave them. Why did the indians leave their arrows on the ground after they shot?
Everything you picked up is just creek tumbled chert. But if you go to 9:47 on the video there is a nice orange arrowhead center screen that you missed
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 okay but it not a relic of its just been busted up in the creeks and what not. Not arguing that there is more than just points out there. But there are ways of telling weather or not something has been used by man.
I assume you’re talking about the bottom center I see it aswell I’m not sure though, as the camera move there’s a slight change in the right notch’s shape making me believe it’s just two similar rocks that are perfectly lined up for the camera. Edit look at 9:42 in .25 speed where he goes at a more upward angle and perspective changed compared to the time you’re referring. They look different meaning they have to be two different rocks :)
I always look and sometimes you get a surprise. I was once along the river and found a mercury dime just sitting on a rock, like someone put it there 5 minutes before I found it
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.
Look at my other videos from this place I have a bunch of clovis Snyder Daltons and a ton of adeanas several museum grade ones. I make videos of the tricks I use to find things when I'm not finding anything.
@@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.✌️
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.
This video has over 100k views its my most popular one and I find nothing . I have a lot of videos where I find museum pieces that get no views. You never know. Thanks for watching.
Dude seriously. Your jealous that he’s actually putting in the work. And A plus for him not reacting to your ignorant comment. I hope he finds a lot of great things what a great hobby to be into.
Hey don't breathe or move. You may kill something else. You are human and therefore you don't belong on earth. So stop existing and let native life exist.
I found some old pottery in a dry creek bed in the NC mountains last fall. I was backpacking and didn't have anywhere to put it so I just left it there. It was all broken, but it was in big pieces.
