History Hound Detecting is constantly looking for pieces of the past, stories from those who came before. I pursue this information by metal detecting, artifact hunting, bottle digging, and coin roll hunting. Hope you enjoyed the adventure!

That coke bottle was 1920’s ish no?
❤ WOW. ! THANK YOU! VERY INFORMATIVE ! ❤
Thank you!!
Great video
Great suggestion on the book. I just bought one!
At 11 minute and 20 second mark as you so cleverly and wisely reminded us to check over our piles of dirt, good seeing and discovering the quartz point, and I sure would like to see You pick up that big chunk of possible worked stone there on your left shorly it was not a piece of plastic. Good history, and good job, appreciate your efforts
My mother was a Rossville GA native. Her maternal grandmother was Cherokee, maiden name Brown. One of her doctors told her that she was part Welsh. She shrugged & told him she didn’t know of any family history being Welsh. That would fit in her/my genealogy. Incredible❤
Fact❤
The buzzing is hard to endure.
Question: the intro song, what is it? My dad use to sing that while my mom played piano when i was a little kid.
The name of the song is “The River is Wide”.
Thank you!
Look to see if there was an old church there, It could be black or white.
Back in the day they did the best they could do. I’ve lived in western NC for close to 40 years. People back in the day couldn’t afford the tomb stones you see today. I’ve seen a lot of graves like that.
I know this video is 3 years old but i just stumbled on it and i wanted to say thank you.
Well I appreciate you watching my three year old video! Hope it helped a little!
The green rock and ones with holes are arrow shaft scrapers and holed rocks could be put on a piece of sinew so as not to get lost
maybe they are just a couple and left fused together as it would be better and easier than making them separate. I have many artifacts and one is a small, hardball sized effigy head figure. Very simply made but recognizable. Found by the french broad river near white pine.
Is it anywhere close to cove hollow look kinda like I've seen that. McDaniel some portic and Duncan
Awesome video! You have helped me find artifacts in my location thanks to your videos.
That’s great Colby! Make sure you keep them in such a way that years down the road folks will be able to know exactly where they were discovered. It’s an important detail.
You can email a picture of what you’ve found to me…benjpope1818@gmail.com

That big green rock looks like a arrow shaft scraper on the end
Thank you, cool stuff.
Thanks for watching!
How do you know it wasn't a completed piece that has since been broken and chipped from use and other various actions?
@@darrelllogan1274 I guess that is an assumption to be honest but it’s an educated one. Bannerstones were special items and you just don’t find them crudely formed, unless the aren’t completed. A lot of work went into shaping and polishing them, so to find one like mine, it’s pretty safe to say it never made it through those processes
I know a huge property in Old Fort adjacent to the train tracks where the homeowners are quite accustomed to native Indians periodically making a pilgrimage there to gain access and approval to follow up the ridge line to their ancestral graves deep in the woods. Fascinating stuff when they just show up with gifts and kindly asking permission to return to their buried bloodline that only the homeowners and those select few (Cherokee?) Indians are even aware of.
I actually drove through Old Fort for the first time in my life earlier this year. Kinda random, was on a little trip and needed to mail something at a post office. The nearest one was in Old Fort. The place definitely had the feel of history about it.
That's a good theory of drilling first then the finishing process. Makes a great deal of sense.
Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Thank you so much ! I didn't know those were cooking stones.
It’s speculation, but I recently saw a fella pull multiple out at a fire pit excavation. It’s pretty good evidence as to their use.
The one with the hole is a fire starter.
That was the most common guess as to its use, but I’m still on the skeptical side of that idea. For fire starting I think it would involve all wood components. Wood fire board, wood spindle, and wooden pressure plate. Some have said that the stone could be the upper pressure plate and the hole comes from the wood spindle wearing through the rock. But that hole was made by drilling from both sides and meeting in the middle…so that would require precise placement of the wooden spindle for that to occur. And for a simple pressure plate, I don’t see that. But it’s all speculative all the way around and I appreciate your input.
I'm surprised you seldom show finding pottery shards. They are as or more common here in East Texas than worked stone pieces.
It’s all about location around here. I’m mostly hunting high elevation camps that were frequented before ceramics had been discovered. I’ve found more stone bowl pieces than pottery at elevation. These bowls were left at these camps for seasonal use as they followed the nut and berry harvest up into high elevation. The valley floors hold the large village sites that were formed after they became a more agrarian people. Those sites are indeed covered with vast amounts of pottery. The random piece does pop up at elevation but they are rare.
@@HistoryHoundDetecting Very interesting.
Great finds Ben! Thanks for showing and explaining the drilled pieces. That light made a huge difference! Best of luck on your next adventure!
Hey Jerimy. Good to hear from you! Hope things are going well for you!
I enjoyed your video Ben. You live in a relic rich land. I love that you know what kind these are (Garden Creek variety). What are the dates and time periods of these points you typically find?
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives Most all of them fall into into the range of Early Archaic through Woodland period. So the oldest probably go back around 7,000-8,000 years ago. Thanks for watching.
Hey Ben it's David again, just wondering if you have any artifacts made from soap stone? I have a couple pendants or parts of. I don't know if soap stone is native to our area, I would think so. Thanks.
You know, that’s one material that I’ve never really been able to identify well. It is for sure native to our area but darned if I know what it looks like.
@@HistoryHoundDetecting same here.
What happened to the Crocs? You switched to sandals. Half banner stone. Thanks David
I’m an “any port in a storm” type of guy when it comes to footwear. Lol
I came across some soldiers head stones near Fontana. It was over thirty years ago and the markers read "Rainbow Division". I believe it was Civil war era.
Oh wow. I’ve never heard of it before. That old be interesting to research. Thanks!
It seem that you search the same area, the garden, have you tried to see if you have broken points that fit together? and the holed stones could be fire starter stones where they use a bow to spin a rod.
@@steveyounger465 I have often tried to match up points and have had very little success. I keep hoping. As fire as the holed stones being fire starters….I believe a bow drill incorporates a wooden spindle on another piece of wood…not stone… to create a friction fire. You’re not the first to postulate that thought though. I just don’t understand the application in that context.
@@HistoryHoundDetecting I was thinking at the top of the spindle and when they wore all the way through they were discarded...Just a though.
Oh! I see what you’re driving at. That makes more sense. The only problem I see with that theory is that that the large flat stone in the video is drilled from both sides with intent to make the two holes meet. That would require pretty precise drilling to make that happen. So that kind of excludes it being a fire starting cap weight that just eventually wore through. Just my thoughts about this particular piece though.
That fragment looks like the Guilford Drill I found.
@@myradioon Pretty sure that a Guilford drill will be the type to pop up at this site. I’d really like to think it was one anyway.
@@HistoryHoundDetecting I found mine South of Asheville in a creek.
Guilford drill? I've found T-drills, spoon drills, pin drills, even a Dalton drill but never heard of that one. Must be the area your hunting,regional identity. What's it look like??
@@alanbrooke3237 Very low profile and some would say crude. The Guilford point itself is pretty basic. Google it and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Like your drills, most of them are made from exhausted or damaged points.
@@HistoryHoundDetecting I'm 68, been hunting with my older brother since I was 7. So Guilford found in what area? North Carolina?
Hi Ben. I liked it when you said we can only speculate. That is so true. Hearing everyone else give their thoughts helps us visualize their opinions. Keep on searching, my friend.
Thank you Kathy!
Had to been West Side. Cartoogechaye
❤very cool I live south of austin TX and find lots of points and worked rocks. We live along the Camino del real ancient highway. They find really old stuff here. That looks kinda like a tomahawk to me... Love the channel
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!
This reminds me of a friend who, when he was younger, used to till a widow's garden by a creek in Andrews every year for free, in order to get arrow heads. I have a couple of them from him. He did this over 60 years ago. Good article about you in the Cherokee Scout!
Thank you! No telling how many artifacts have come out of local gardens over the years.
Could that material be felsite? I find some stuff up in madison county that looks kinda like that, i've been wondering what it is too.
That’s a new one for me. I’ll research that. Thanks for the tip.
Goodonya!!!
How you been doing man? Good to hear from you. I was just looking at an old lucky hat you sent me a few years back. Still wear it from time to time.
an incredible find gentlemen.
Thank you Clay. Thats a day we won’t forget!
Probably slave graves. They look like the ones in Mendota Virginia that I know are slave graves.
What do you mean a color change? Like in the soil? So then you know youre in the land indian would have been on??
Yes. When you encounter a site like a village site with large numbers of people, fires, and the proteins from cooking, wastes, and rotted vegetation…the soil darkens noticeably. This isn’t so much the case in smaller camp sites that saw fewer individuals for shorter periods of time.
Great video I really enjoyed it very much And loved learning about the moon eyed people. Very interesting that they say they came from wales! And they keep saying that columbus discovered america, it's just sad. Do subscriber today keep it going!
I believe these are recycled gravestones from an earlier civilization. They were previously decorated with pictures/scenes before numbers and letters were chiseled into them to mark the current graves.
Very nice thanks for posting. Sincerely Erin Schlameus
Thanks for watching Erin!
The laurelle people and dog people were small like the moon eyed people. All true little people just different clans and tribes of them. Even reaching Montana and minesota has its story's of little people.
Do you have any effigies 😂😂
I don’t. Many years looking but none yet.
You got that right 😂😂
