My little girl is 5 years old. She started watching your videos with me. She thinks you are hilarious. I took her on her first arrowhead hunt last weekend. We were lucky enough to wash out a nice bird point from a gravel bar in a creek using your patented bucket method. It was a special day for both of us. We are hoping to try our luck at the Ohio river soon. Thanks for the family friendly content. Please keep the great videos coming! We enjoy the heck out of them, and we learn a lot too.
I love your videos, Clegg! Your channel is the ONLY one I've actually set the bell icon for so I can see whenever you've shared your latest hunts. Your enthusiasm is completely contagious. ;)
I was just on the Ohio River today. Found an older gentleman and we started talking about your channel haha I thought it was funny. Your one of the reasons I sift
Roy, from Virginia. I appreciate your videos and work! I'm still searching for my first Native artifact and your ideas are super helpful. Thanks again!
Where I grew up, "Pocket Pool" means that you cut the bottoms out of your pants pockets, and we'll..... I reckon you can guess the rest! LOL! Great video. I'm hoping to be able to walk well enough to get in the ditches at some point this year!
I have always wanted to find an arrowhead. I grew up along the Delaware River in the New Hope, Penna area. I know there must have been thousands lost in that area.
I wonder if the areas norty of new Hope between the little sand bars And the river proper would have snaggedArrow heads,up toward lumberville.lived in solebury fovten yrs,just saying g.
I Worked on that river for Many years, never thought about hunting that river. I'm an old man now. But hunted since I was big enough to walk the corn fields I grew up just a few miles from Graham cave In Missouri. Use to be able to pick them up by the bushel basket full. Nobody cared about them way back then in the 50s. Love your videos Happy independence day
Here in Tennessee if the so called authorities seen us just picking up a point on the river much less scooping or digging its a serious fine l wish we could
I thought it's just if you find in a state park or city park. If it's private land you're fine. So they'd rather have them busted up and ruined by weather and erosion than someone taking great care of them in a case?
learning so much from your content.. if you ever come up to columbus area i can tell you some hot spots to check out . scioto river is dotted with mounds and camps if you ever want to check any out just hit me up anytime
Just recently started watching your videos. I don’t know where you are but I’d like to find at least 1 arrowhead. The only ones I’ve ever seen are in gift shops in the northern part of Michigan. 😞 Wish me luck. 🙂
When I was about 12 I found a pure white spear point that was approximately six inches long and 2 inches wide. I was out quail hunting and was on a levee along a small creek. It stood out as previous rains had uncovered it. About a mile away we have found in gravel pit a tooth about foot long and six inches wide.
You had a pretty awesome day! That first 1 is a dandy. I would imagine the river is fairly low, not much rain here abouts for a few weeks or so. Hope you didn't cast aside that certified hammer stone...... the 1 you fixed the shovel with lol. 😄👍✌😎 Great vid, gl/hh
Enjoyed your video..a friend told us about you. Are you in Wva? We are in the Tri-State area..always like to figure out area people are in, not a town.
@@cleggsadventures I see. Im some ways north near the Huron River. We always hear about 300 years ago native Americans but to consider the archaic inhabitants of my general area has me real excited. Thank you for your videos.
Hey Scott, what a productive day at the office! You found some pretty nice points sure… great analogy on the sharpening down of those arrowheads…looking forward to ur next video down by the river👍
Question. The smaller points were for bow n arrow you said. What were the bigger points you found used for? I need to get more knowledgeable on these things.
A lot of the points are knives. But the larger projectile points for hunting, went on darts. Darts were about 3 times as long as arrows and were thrown with Atlatl’s. The Atlatl was used a lot longer than the bow has been around. The bow needed a much smaller lighter point.
They range from 350 to 600psi but it would do the job. There are other brands. Whichever makes sense with the cordless you already use, because the batteries only last about 10 mins of straight run time. At least the B&D I just got.
@@SLBLADE I’m not sure on that one. Maybe a later Archaic or early Woodland point. Another guy here in the comments, said he thinks middle Archaic. Tough call on that one. It just has that Generic arrowhead shape. The base is not ground though. That’s what leaves me to believe a later piece
Man, I always love your videos! You give a lot of good information and have such a great enthusiasm for what you do. Congrats on a great day with lots of cool finds!
Much Appreciated. I can only get so far in there. There was a tree there before and it broke off, leaving a big stump in there. It’ll eventually rot away.
That little token may be worth a bit of money. I had one for a billiard room to a place in Covington, listed it - the building still existed and the current business owner bought it for display. Had a little bit of a bidding war going on for it! I had thought it was junk!
Yeah, I’ve never even heard of one. I did find a small, very old billiard ball in this video link, it’s made of a very early type plastic or something. I Found a Message In a Bottle! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uxaFkoipUp0.html
Dag Nabit Clegg !! You beat everything , ya know that ! After much research on the subject, I just want ahead and deleted three other arrowhead channel boys from my subscription queue and I added yours because after this intensive research, I found out yours is the greatest of them all ! Say hey to Goober for me 😂
Scott , I have learned more from your videos , than the so call professional archeology professors . I have had the displeasure of meeting a few . If they didn't remove it from the ground you are wrong . I feel you are more well versed , in hunting artifacts than many of them . I believe in the saying you are never too old to learn . I'm 74 and you have taught me much , in the several years I have been watching you . Your manner of teaching , and explaining things are unequaled . When it comes to Artifact hunting , you are highly above the rest
Loved your comment, stay safe out there (staying hydrated and ALWAYS let someone/loved ones know exactly where you're at). Hope you have a great, safe upcoming summer.
👍 Thanks for the grind dulling explanation, never thought about it much, just figured it was to keep the haft cordage from being cut. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video. I had no idea all the different designs were labeled. Here in Washington State what you are doing is almost a felony 😅. 10,000 dollar fine. Do it while you can. You probably already know this about holding the arrowhead and looking at the tip. How one edge rolls the opposite of the other for spin. Good hunting and new sub.👍
Found a brewerton like that last season almost identical. Very smooth ground base. The brewertons remind me of big Sandy's with that squareish base, but I'm no expert. 😊 Keep making vids and I'll keep watching live your videos.
Nice finds! I live very close to the Ohio River and want to see if I can find some artifacts. Do I need to get permission to dig around? Secondly, where can I get my hands on that book you showed? Looking forward to your next video!
@@chuckie5671 ok so you can take this anyway you want. If I were in your town I would focus on yellow creek and the Ohio close to where the yellow goes into the Ohio! There is ALOT of native American history that was in yellow creek. Secondly I would go to the part Ohio River that is closest to the 2 golf courses there that you can access. Lastly I would go in at pottery additions. With all that said I promise you you are in a great area for artifacts based on my research. Any beach area you can find look for flakes and when you find them look hard!!!; and like Scott said a kayak or boat will increase your odds. Good luck!
And the book is Overstreet. Scott is a great guy! I've went out looking to recover artifacts with him. He's just as awesome in person. I live close to Parkersburg wv and recover many artifacts as well! Not as many as Scott though. Anyways good luck!!,
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching most of your old videos. I live up the river from you in Wheeling. I also go hunting on the river bank looking for old bottles mostly, but i do look for native american artifacts as well.
It looked like you missed some native pottery shards in the sifter with the Hopewell point in it. I could be wrong but you might want to check the video. Great finds Clegg.
I made a very similar artifact case recently, I used it in NC and it works great! Awsome video, the .5 zoom onnthe camera makes it feel like im watching a dream
Great channel brother ! Just watched a few of your videos, i'm an old hunter that hunts in pa.and n.y. since 69. I'd like to share a GREAT tip, farmers that had land on the edges of rivers and large creeks would often throw their cleared "rocks" down the embankment along the shoreline. Most people back then didn't really know or even care about "native tools of the trade".These are the areas that have been most rewarding to me by far. I'm blessed to have a MASSIVE/STELLAR collection of some of the finest artifacts ever seen. Very best wishes and stay safe out there !!
I accidentally discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Been following you close enough that you convinced me to subscribe! I'm going to take my grandson and try out hand here in East Texas. By the way, I also happen to be a Clegg, we could be kin. Most of my known kin folks are in Mississippi and Louisiana however the name is very prominent where I live now. Great to meet you!
@@cleggsadventures I am not sure either but I surmise he does not like us picking up his relatives/fellow natives artifacts. To him flakes are just gravel. So a waring tribesmen has kinship with a adversary that his relations probably murdered. its like a European being upset that the pyramids are being explored as there wasn't anyone in Europe 3k years ago.
I'm up north of you and I cant believe how effortless you make this look. If I found flint flakes, I would think it would be the equivalent of gold. Just a fantastic learning video!!!
Man you have to have THE BEST area I have ever seen to find artifacts!!! I knew of a place that I had permission to go walk and after rains I would walk it (about 100 yards) and would find points every time and most time it would be 3-6 items. I even found broken items and would find both sides … not much better than finding point … I may find 1 or 2 a year while deer hunting now. But congrats on such great finds 👍
@@nataliedeyton6829 I have only found a couple broken pieces. There were just too many flint quarries in a 75 mile radius, I guess they didn’t have to use it. Also, there’s not much quartz around here. I only find small pebbles of it .
Not only did you find a nice haul of really great finds but you also made a great video to compliment the adventure. Very enjoyable to watch, Clegg! Thank you for sharing. Although, the brass ball bearing is much more modern than the artifacts it was still an interesting thing to see come out in the sifter. It was a cool find.
I was cooking dinner, listening to you in the background, then I hear "pocket billiards". It took my brain about 45 seconds to register what you just said. Needless to say I cracked up and nearly burned dinner. I am the only one in the house old enough to appreciate a term from the old days. You sure you never heard of it????
Hey there! Love you show. Just thought I would share that at 16:30 that beauty. My minds eye saw face on both side. One kinda spooky the other bald round face on the otherside. I was watching watching on my big TV. Humans are wired to see faces in thing. Stay safe out there.
Great saves again Scott!! You have one hell of a spot keeps getting recharged. Let me ask you how many screens do you think you did that day? Just curious people this this is easy and it’s not!!
It’s many screens! But with this sifter, I load it full, shake it down and load it again. I do that about 4 times before I check it. It goes faster that way. But with a handheld sifter, I’d say you’d be doing at least 30-35 screens.
not to mention all points werent re-sharpened by the maker themselves. A dude from 1,000 years ago might have found a point made from 2,000 years ago and re purposed it.
Dont know where that pocket billiard room was but WalMart sells a decorative sign that says Howard Billiard room. Howard is a very big name in billiards.
I have family that lives not far from the Ohio River on the WV side. I'd like to combine a visit with them with some hunting along the Ohio River. What do you recommend as for getting permissions? I doubt that my family knows anyone living along the river.
Hey Clegg, I live in the south shore of Montreal and love you videos. I have been looking for Native tools for quite some time and only found a broken piece of chert. Is there any sort of map I can use to help find a good spot?
I’m so excited to have found your channel this evening. Binge watching. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I searched for artifacts in a plowed field in Eleanor, WV next to the Kanawha River. I found an awl intact. All the other pieces i found were broken. This is near Buffalo, WV, where there was a major archaeological discovery of native settlement. I’m guessing much could be found in Buffalo along the river.
The Buffalo Indian Village Site is an archaeological site located near Buffalo, Putnam County, West Virginia, along the Kanawha River in the United States. This site sits atop a high terrace on the eastern bank of the Kanawha River and was once home to a variety of Native American villages including the Archaic, Middle Woodland and Fort Ancient cultures of this region. Buffalo Village was the site of one of the first systematic archaeological projects performed in West Virginia and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2] Buffalo Indian Village Site U.S. National Register of Historic Places Nearest city Buffalo, West Virginia Area 52 acres (21 ha) NRHP reference No. 71000883[1] Added to NRHP January 25, 1971 At some point between the years 1640 and 1730, most of the territory between the Ohio Valley and Fort Ancient region of West Virginia, was abandoned. It is a possibility that nearby Iroquois Nations posed certain pressures regarding the fur trade that led to the abandonment of these sites. The introduction of European diseases may have been a possible factor as well, but the bigger details are largely unknown by researchers.
