A late friend of mine was very experienced in artifact hunting. He used to go to Texas not far from Lubbock and go out in the time of year when farmers were plowing fields. He would go early in the morning when there was dew on the ground. He would look toward the rising sun and the light would sparkle off the dew on the arrowheads and he would just walk along and pick them up. He would then go to Vega Texas at a crossroads where there used to be a gas station that had a big long display case, probably 2 ft. X 4 ft. X 14 ft. long and it was three quarts full of arrowheads people had found in the fields. Thousands upon thousands of them. I have no idea what happen to them when the station was demolished.

I enjoyed the video and subscribed. took my grandson arrowhead hunting a few days ago along a little creek on my farm in Arkansas. no arrowheads....did find a small piece of very old looking broken pottery.

I can attest to the difficulty of finding relics in the Great Basin, but they do exist and waundering around the desert looking is the most fun of all. Lots of Nature to appreciate on the journey. I watch all you guys in the East and love seeing the great saves you bring home. Happy hnting to all.

I have land in South Park Colorado and have found arrowheads sitting on the surface, also one hand axe that is probably much older. The antelope and elk still roam the valley. Probably the same herds that have grazed here since the last ice age. It's in your red zone haha

Thank you, your description is easy to understand.

I love you and this. 😊 Now onward yee yee

Nah buh i like Turtles man. They smoke green with me. Damn cooters

I live in middle tn close to tn river and ive found 1000s of stone tools in a 1 acre tributary of indian creek but never really found a "smoker" "flute" its crazy.

bruh, why is mlp in the thumbnail 💀 also, Oregon and Utah are 100% accurate, coming from a Mormon

Kinda disappointed by the portrayal of West Virginia. Shouldve had more hillbillies

Part 1; eyh, that pretty nice here ! Part 2 ; *OMFG RUUUUUUN !!!* The picture of California with people at the beach while a massive smog cloud is hovering above their heads is delightful

I live in West Virginia, just outside the "Circle", but you can still find arrowheads here for 2 reasons: First, the Ohio River was a major native waterway - they used it like a superhighway, camped along it's banks, fished it's waters, and so it's a bit of an "exception". Secondly, not a whole lot of natives lived in the interior of West Virginia year-round, but they used it as a hunting ground; game was very plentiful here up in the rolling hills and the river systems made it relatively easy to enter the area and transport things in and out. So they would come in the hunting seasons, make camps along the rivers, and go inland to hunt and gather, then as winter set in they would take the rivers out of the area and go back to their villages to ride out the cold season. There were SOME year-round natives living here mind you, but not a lot. And never the agricultural powerhouse civilizations of the interior and South-Western U.S.. And even stranger, Europeans never actually encountered these huge agricultural civilizations because small pox and other European diseases reached these areas through the tribes before any white man ever crossed the Appalachian mountains and got to see them. The entire North American native population, numbering in the millions, was nearly wiped out by smallpox before Western expansion from Europeans really began to take place in earnest - we only ever encountered the remnant, vastly changed populations who were left after their version of the Black Plague (But WORSE) had decimated them and broken most of their cultures. And they, unlike the South American natives, didn't really build with stone (With a few exceptions like the Anasazi), so we don't find pyramids and the like as remnants - instead we find earthworks like the Mound Builders left behind, and millions of arrowheads in those areas lying in mute testimony to the vast civilizations and great numbers of people that made them and then disappeared largely without trace otherwise during a largely un-known to outsiders germ apocalypse which must have been unimaginably horrible. Makes you feel really small.

Don't watch if you're easily offended... so every US american ever

As someone from Texas, the ammount of people I know that are exactly that picture is insane

wtf accurate depiction of louisiana for once???

Great video - very informative! What tool did you use to generate the map of chert deposits on the east coast? The one shown at time marker 5:34

that is some annoying music

It pronounced Havvaii, you guys.

better than my country at least

So America is just mexico

why were there bronies for north carolina

Usa nust be a nightmare

As someone who lives in california this is indeed chaotic and at the same time peaceful.

As a mexican i not have an opinión xd.

alabama is indeed true montgomery is a shithole and ive only been to birmingham a couple times but birmingham is pretty good being a former steel town

rain in louisiana

This guy is clearly, openly, indiscriminately NOT American

I have been to 55 States, all except Alaska and Hawaii. Obama said there are 57 States, and who am I to contradict a president (lower case p on purpose)? I found something to like in all of them, but a lot more in some than others. There are some pretty places in the Northeast, but with the prevalent attitudes, I would not want to live there. I met some good people everywhere I went.

You're right, but i live in North Carolina just outside Appalachian Mountains. There's a particular tobbaco field on high ground around 25 acres with a creek on 3 of 4 sides and we have literally a couple thousand artifacts and find more every time its plowed and it rains. And theres many many other places just like this all around falls lake in Granville county. Its a diggers dream.

I've found a lot in minnesota along with bones of animals, charred clam shells, deer horn, beeds, pottery, and a few days ago, half a paddle end. Some birch bark and ribbing for canoes also. It's all found in the water right off the shore of a lake.

I live in NE AZ and my property is covered with points. Must have been a massive battle here. Had to be FN on FN as I haven't found any bullets

The Ohio River is practically clogged with arrowheads. Tons of paleo age stuff too.

I love the video and it helped a lot to understand where I should keep my eyes open as I travel. I worked as a surveyer for many years and met an old surveyor who told me the key to where I should keep my eyes open in my state of Delaware. And he was right. He showed me where old encampments were in my area and I did find arrowheads and lots of pottery pieces. I even found one perfect heart shaped arrowhead right where he told me to look, on bald sandy spots in plowed fields. I also have found them in the gravel wash on the shoreline in Indian River Bay and Assawomen Bay. Thanks love the info take care.

I feel that it should be noted the economy in those areas also… The American South was an area with deep seated routes in an agrarian economy. Therefore in those areas, there is a greater quantity of dirt being tilled. I believe a better correlation of arrowhead density would be between proximity to tilled farmland and flowing water.

I grew up in northwest Oregon and found lots of arrowheads mostly for birds they were small all kind of hammerstones

North west Ohio if full of arrow heads and mounds lots of stone tools. Pottery ..

Billions of arrow heads along the collumia river and tributaries

Natives traded obsidian from the Bend Oregon as far west as Calgary Alberta and sothern Idaho. There were also the Fort Rock sandals made from sagebrush bark that were made 7,000 to 9,000 years ago traded all over the inland north west. So I am not entirely sure what the presenter is talking about.

Arkansas...you have to be looking at the sky to miss them

The black smiths in ohio, didnt need to buy iron, to was all over the ground, and you could not walk on the ground without stepping on arrow heads where millions of Nephites were killed. You didnt do your research, millions of breastplates, headplates and other armor was on top of the ground. My dad taught me its better to let people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and eliminate all doubt.

Holy sh..t..... This was the most educational point / arrowhead hunting explanation video I have ever been so lucky enough to run across. No one ever explains or talks about this stuff... Off course,...... They used bone!!!!!! . Thank you.

Most informative video I have seen about where to find chert and what it is

i live in awful california and have experienced what you are mentioning. that said i have found a decent amount of artifacts. when i was a boy in illinois i'd walk rows. i also believe since there was gold found here for the last 150 years folks have studied and poured over the area removing what was there. just a theory

I just learned a ton n i want 2 thank you much much !!! B well from central virginia .

I find it hard to believe you can't find arrowheads anywhere in America Native Americans have been here for thousands of years!! I my state of Virginia I find them Just about everywhere Wishing you lots of looking down 😊👍✌️

Oregon and Washington are loaded with lithic materials, artifacts and arrowheads and some of the best paleo artifacts have been found there. So no idea why you would say otherwise other then you are not educated on the subject.

Nice video dude!! One thing I will say: their are A LOT of different cultures and time periods these points descend from. Ive personally found a Madison Triangle & a Mackorkle Bifurcate virtually on top of each other. This is significant because these two points are very close to 10000 years apart.

I thought all the Indians were out west with the cowboys and what not!

As a Bow hunter youd be surprised at how easy an arrow can burry itself and disappear in the average straight on shot.

Any state you put me in in the US mainland. I could find Indian Artifacts within 7 days. Any State.
