I appreciate it, and thanks for coming back to check out the new round of finds!

wondering if the rolled metal is native, post-contact or colonial in origin. Really odd find.

I appreciate it man and good luck out there!

Ignorance is bliss when it comes to how many I might have. If I knew how many I actually have I might start to wonder if I have a problem!😂 I would roughly guess that I have close to 1,000 whole / mostly whole. No telling how many broken pieces I have. If it’s like the ratio at which I find broken vs whole, which is probably 10:1… then that means I’d have close to 10k..🤔 Surely that number can’t be right! I do have tons, but it sure doesn’t seem like THAT many! Haha It’s all good on the last comment by the way! I wouldn’t put it past me to break the silence.. I definitely heard myself in the background on one of my more recent finds. I’ll have to edit that out! Haha thanks as always!

Haha I agree! I was pulling videos from finds made last July when making this. I was enjoying turning the sound up and just listening to the sound of summer. It’s so lively! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I agree on the beat up table rock though.. I’m not sure what kind of material it is, but wish it was more common around here! It was too neat looking not to share. Thanks as always neighbor!

I appreciate it! Sometimes I find one that’s broken, in rough shape, but just too pretty not to add to a video! That brindle stone being one of them.. not sure what material it is, or where it came from, but wish it was more common around here! I appreciate it as always!

That’s been mentioned a few times now. It’s definitely a possibility I didn’t even think of! I appreciate you taking the time to give your .2¢!

When I’ve taken that piece to shows for input it’s caused a few head scratches. Everyone agrees that it looks spot on to the rolled copper points found up north. This one seems to be made of lead though I believe. A couple people thought copper, a couple people thought lead as well. For now it resides in my cabinet of curiosities! Haha I appreciate the input man, I enjoy hearing what everyone thinks!

I appreciate it as always buddy!

That’s one mangled knife if so!

Haha man all I do is spend all my free time out there looking! My free time seems to be dwindling at an alarming rate, but I still get out there when I can. It keeps me up at night thinking about what all could be on the brink of being lost for good… again! I’m just glad to be lucky enough to recover and share what I can with everyone. I appreciate you buddy!

Thanks man! But yeah agreed, that’s what everyone I showed it to at artifact shows seemed to think as well. Although I think this one could be made of lead, as one fellow mentioned, they used whatever they got their hands on… which might be the case for this piece. I appreciate it as always buddy!

I appreciate it man! I’ve taken that piece with me to a few different artifact shows looking for input. Everyone agreed it looked like classic old rolled metal arrowheads. Much like the ones found more up north. It sure looks like one after doing some research. A few people on here mentioned it possibly being an awl as well, which sounds like a legit possibility. I’ll just add it to the cabinet of curiosities!😂

@Points365 😀👍 Definitely cool as heck.....

Thanks my friend!

It’s always been something I’ve thought about and wanted to do. It’s quite large and the logistics of pulling everything out and recording it would be quite the job, as I still have every artifact I’ve ever found! It’s definitely on the to do list though. I appreciate it man!

Always a pleasure man! But man, these finds were all found last July I believe. I’m wayyy behind on posting videos! Haha People probably enjoy seeing some warm looking scenery amidst the mini ice age we’re going through right now!

Duuude! You’re straight killing it out there! Hopefully this video will keep the flint flowing and maybe a little of your luck will wear off on me! Haha Keep it up man and best of luck!

You need to start posting some finds man… I’d be the first subscriber in a heartbeat!

@Points365 My family and friends keep telling me to start a channel. I've never done social media besides commenting on arrowhead videos. I guess that's why I haven't made a channel.

Even the heartbreakers are a welcomed find on those long days with little to show for it as you know! These finds were from July or so of last year. I think I sent you a video of that metal piece last year to get your thoughts on it. I took it to the KY dam show and got a lot of good input on it there! Thanks as always buddy!

I really appreciate it man! The guys I showed it to definitely thought it to be a rolled point. Some thought lead, some thought copper. I thought copper had more of a green patina, but I’m not the pro on that! If it is lead it was likely something traded or snatched in historic times. Either way I was excited to find it!

Thanks man! Found that last piece on a bank as the water had recently receded. No modern trash found there. Everything from mid archaic to woodland artifacts found there as far as I can tell. I had no clue what it was when I walked up on it. I’ve learned over the years to pick up anything that looks unusual or out of place. Given where it was found I figured it record the pull just in case. After taking home and doing some research it looked exactly like the rolled copper points found more north of me. I took it to a show to get some input and everyone agreed it looked like the rolled points. Some thought copper. Some thought lead. The patina and weight make me think lead, but haven’t figured it out for sure yet. Some on here have thought it’s more likely to be an awl, which I could also see it being.

I have 2 other copper artifacts that I found in years past, and one has a more greenish color, the other having more of a cream color / greenish patina. This piece has more of a lead colored patina to it it seems. I took it to the KY dam show last year to get some thoughts on it. Showed it to everyone who had metal artifacts displayed. Everyone agreed that it looked like the rolled metal points. Some thought lead, some thought copper. As one guy mentioned that thought it was lead, he said although it was unusual, it wasn’t unheard of, and that they used whatever they got their hands on. I need to settle the debate on what type of metal it is by swinging my metal detector over it! Haha thanks again and as always for the input man. You always have a lot of insight and input on the artifacts!

When I researched it, it was a dead ringer to the rolled copper points found more up north where natural deposits of copper were found. I’m thinking this piece might be lead though? I took it to a show to get some input and arrowhead is what people thought. They thought maybe lead also and although not unheard of, was unusual. As one guy mentioned, they used whatever they got their hands on! I appreciate it as always buddy!

You might be correct on that thought. After researching the old copper artifacts, the rolled copper arrowheads looked like a dead ringer. Although I’m not sure this piece is copper. Whatever it was made to fit over is about the same diameter of a pencil. I could definitely see it as an ornamental pieces as well. Thanks for the input buddy!

I appreciate it as always man!

It has the weight and patina of lead… so that would get my guess. The few people I’ve showed it to who are knowledgeable on metal artifacts thought so too. Also thought it to be an unusual but not unheard of find as well. I appreciate it at always buddy!

@Points365 it would be after European occupation when it was made then if led, either way a rare piece.

Thanks buddy! Yeah that square knife was found at a spot that usually spit out the old stuff. I’m not sure if the square knives were only used in the earlier time periods or not, but early archaic is the newest stuff that comes from that particular spot. That metal piece either hit a “rock”fish or one heck of a hard noggin! Haha

@ 👍🏻😂

Thanks so much and I appreciate you coming back to check out the finds! I’m trying to get back on my schedule of putting out a new video every 2 weeks. I have quite a few backed up from last year still waiting to make its way into videos! Thanks again and as always!

I appreciate it buddy!

It’s a pleasure the share them buddy! I know my time is coming when I’ll only be able to reminisce on my days hunting, so while I can, I try to share it all! It’s about time for you to get those bionic man knees!

@@Paleoman52 Champ! Glad to hear you’re still kicking but sad you’re having knee trouble….maybe you could set up one of your tractors with balloon tires and a comfy seat and hit the fields?!?! If there’s a will, there’s a way!!!?!…also, hope you’re still knapping….youre one of the best!!!! Kick some ass buddy!!!!

They prob accidentally made them symmetrical, but everyone made fun of it so much he destroyed it! Haha But I hear ya man… it is one of those mysteries that we’ll never have answers for! Did you get any sort of winter precipitation the other day? My uncle just north of you had some snow cover!

@Points365 Just cold rain for the last 4 days straight. Cold, but not too bad. Temps hovering around 50°.. which is miserable to us. Florida cold just Hits different. It's that kinda wet windy noreastern cold that cuts right through you. Like lake-effect cold. Miserable

I appreciate it! But yep, in and around the whole middle TN area. I live in the Nashville area and travel up to 1-1.5 hours in all directions in search of artifacts!

I think it’s lead… it sure has the weight of lead at least. Seems like most copper artifacts had more of a green / brown patina. I should run my metal detector over it, that would get to the bottom of it! Haha thanks for checking it out!

Yeah, they were all found in the same general area. If they were found in the same spot I’d be inclined to think it might be a possible cache. I have 2 more found from the same spot that I found weeks after these were found. They will probably be in the next video. I have them all lined up next to each other, they look good lined up together!
