Yeah, I have had several people that live in the area where I found it, tell me that it is normal to find that type of flint with hinges on it. So, it could very likely be authentic. Thanks for watching!

It’s a 9.5 hp. Kohler CH395-3190

Electronic model is $6900 and manual is $5400.

Thank you very much!

Yes, it is more stable. It is 12 foot long and 3 foot wide, so flipping over isn't a concern on the rivers that I travel. I don't think you would want to try fishing standing up. That might be tricky.

Thanks! I used to keep them and after I started to run out of places to store them, I had to stop. I only keep some flakes that are from really nice material, like translucent or colorful material.

Yeah, they had to know what they were doing to survive without the modern conveniences we are used to.

Yes, that bank was steep. If you looked real close, you could barely see the large grape vine, about 3" in diameter, that I was holding on to. It ran up that slope and I used it like a rope to climb the bank. Good luck hunting!

Thanks! That blade is cool because of all the resharpening it had from being used.

Thanks Doug! How long have they been doing the Herd Hunt for the Helmet? The WVU helmet hunt started in 2018. I didn't know they did the Herd one until right before it was found this year.

Thank you my friend! It’s been a slow Summer but I had a good day. Good luck!

Thanks brother! I got lucky with the helmet. When I pulled into that roadside park where it was hidden, there was a dozen people looking for it. It was cool but I like finding artifacts better. Good luck in the arrowhead patch!

@@OutdoorRetiree Lol, I bet you were still stoked to find it !!😎👊 Struggling right now, waiting for rain...lol 👍

@@historylooker7 Yes I was. I have been close to finding it in past years, but never thought I would actually find it. This is the first year they didn't include the $500 gas card with the tickets. With all the running I do to the river, I could have used that. My area is in an extreme drought right now. The weather man said we are the worst drought in the country right now. They are getting more rain out west where it is usually dry. No rain, not much is getting washed off the river banks right now.

@@OutdoorRetiree Hope we both get rain soon, man ✌

Yeah he has. He puts the effort in and it is paying off. It’s been too hot for me to work that hard.

Yeah, it looked pitted before I picked it up, but the pit wasn't circular, so I don't think it was one. I guess something could have hit it just right and broken the pit and made it look like a natural hole.

That is a new spot for me and it is super steep. You may have noticed I was holding onto a grape vine that was running up the bank to keep from falling. There was a ton of fire rock on the bank. Unfortunately, there was only a few feet of clay at the bottom, so most of the rock that made it to the river went off the edge and gone for good. I'll definitely check that spot some more. Too much stuff to not go back.

@@OutdoorRetiree I know the feeling I have a spot similar just not as steep that if you don’t catch it early it’s gone forever. How’s the mokia doing?

@@RiverRatArtifacts The Mokai is doing great. It is 3 years old now. I have 160 hours and over 1700 miles on it. How is your Mokai doing?

@@OutdoorRetiree It’s been pretty good.river conditions play a big role in speed but I love it for its versatility and accessibility to certain places. I’ve had the pump rebuilt twice but I put a lot hours it. Don’t really want to upgrade to a bigger boat but I might if the reliability goes down.

@@RiverRatArtifacts The leaves are starting to fall and that makes for a lot of grate/pump cleanouts while out of the river. I had Tom rebuild my pump once and it is still doing good. I thought about a full size boat before I bought the Mokai, but a boat would be harder to get into all the spots I go to. It suits me better too. So far, it has been reliable. I do carry spare parts, so I could fix most problems if they happened.

Yes, not bad considering it has been slow lately. I need to get back on the river more often now that the weather is cooling off a little.

@@OutdoorRetiree Same here, I've hardly been out at all this summer.

@@leatherwoodcraftsHey, I saw you had the comments turned off on your latest video and understand why. Just wanted to say that was a great video and an awesome Elk River point. I haven’t been out searching much and haven’t posted a video for a while now. Good luck when you get back out.

@@OutdoorRetiree Thanks! I went out a couple days later and found five points on one site, and hit it again yesterday and found a killer Snyders. Most of the river was still silted, but for some reason this one little spot that is not usually very good was scoured and points were laying everywhere. Must have been the direction the wind has been blowing the waves up against it. Now the leaves are starting to cover the ground though. Good luck, I hope you get out there and find something good soon.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! The New York facility only ships to North America, but they do have an office in Ireland that ships International. They ship ocean freight to the closest port and you would have to arrange to pick it up or be shipped from there. Their web site says it takes 10-30 days for shipping. On their web site, you can order with either electronic controls or manual controls. The Painless upgrades can be ordered from PainlessTom. I guess he would ship international. You would have to check with him to find out. His email is: Painlesstom@improvingyourmokai.com The Mokai site is: www.mokai.com and Tom's site for the ES-Kape 2.0 is: www.painlesstom.com/ESKV2.html You can see information about international sales by clicking the Order tab on their web site. Have a good day!

It has a 9.5 hp Kohler in it. I wouldn’t take it in less than a foot of water. Sitting still, it sits 7” down. If you get too shallow, it can suck debris off of the bottom.

@@OutdoorRetiree thank you!

In prime conditions, I have hit 22, but I seldom seem those conditions. I usually have a little chop on the water, some wind, maybe a piece of debris in the intake, so I usually get around 17-18 mph.

Thanks for watching!

It isn’t recommended. Salt water would cause corrosion.

@@OutdoorRetiree "Apart from corrosion, how would mokai be stable in sea waves?

I’ve had it in 3 foot waves on the Ohio River during 20+ mph winds and that was all I would want to try. That is probably calm compared to taking it to the ocean.

@@OutdoorRetiree Thanks...

You’re welcome!

I would love to have more power in it! I like to search for Indian artifacts along the rivers.

Thanks a lot!

The nozzle has an ID of 3 inches.

The joystick on the right side of the cockpit. Push and pull it to steer and twist it for the throttle.

Made in New York!

I absolutely will! Thanks for watching!

It has a 4 gallon tank and I get about 15 mpg, so it has almost a 60 mile range without carrying extra fuel.

If you are asking about how far it can go, the gas tank holds 4 gallons and I get about 15 mpg, so 60 mile round trip without taking extra fuel.

Yeah, it is a real company, just a little slow to get the boats out. Mine took over 2 months to ship. It does seem like it takes forever when you are anxiously waiting on it to arrive. I am almost at 3 years with mine now and still enjoying it.

@@OutdoorRetiree thank you

@@DWATSON1975 You’re welcome
