- Join us as we explore the deep woods of the Texas Hill Country and take a close look at an ancient paleo indian mound This particular site was a tool making site thousands of years ago and was used by many tribes over the millenia.
I'm in central Texas, I was working on a friends land , over 4000 acre.. at lunch sometimes after work . In Streeter Tx. I would drive all over it .he had a cave , hard to get to but after getting there it has old picture graphs painted all over . But i have never seen as many arrowheads then what's on his land . Anywhere you park just about , open the door and look down 9 out of 10 you'll see one . So one time I couldn't drive no farther so I walked up a dried creek.. I started smellin hogs I came up and there was a big patch of small cedar trees you can see the hogs bedded down there , ground was all turned up.. I saw a mound about 3 ft. Wide about 6 ft. Long . I knew instantly.. just the feeling under them trees was different then all the other places I went . Then I started seeing bones . Hog bones scattered all over . Bleached out then more mounds there ended up being like 7 . On my way out I hit the creek it had a high rock wall .as I hugged the wall turned a tight corner a hog was 2 feet away snapping his jaws ar me . I pulled 9 mil. Out and shot I blew the bottom jaw off and it still was biting hard, can hear the bones cracking, he was mean. Took the whole clip. Well after looking at it I realized all 4 knees was as big as softballs . He must have fell off that cliff wall strait down. ,was about 30ft. Up. And I shit you not 5 min later the biggest rattler I've ever seen come flying out under a big rock full speed , I was runnin backwards trippin over shit shootn missing. The last shot got it. I'm 6 ft. He was all of that and some.so twice I almost died right there by the mounds. I didnt go back to that spot. I let the owner know. And handed him a handful of arrowheads and 2 spearheads. He said you keep all you find. Showed him the snake I had in the truck and it was gone . A blood trail led up to my toolbox , that dam thing crawled up into my toolbox. I carried it to my truck by the tail for a good 6 8 min. Walk . He could have bit me still after a 9mil shot to the neck behind head. His eyes I'll never forget looked so evil eyeball to eyeball with it .I've live and been in the woods all my life , never had one chase me down . A watermockasin ya they are very territorial .. well I have a lot of stories I could share but this is one for the mounds...I think my hands was shaking the rest of that day.
Damn Cody that's one hell of a story!
I hope your friend has contacted the Texas Archaological Society to make sure the pictographs are recorded.
Wow
It's a shame to take their lives.
Exactly !!! I stay out of the woods in the warm weather, after almost stepping on a cottonmouth !!!
I took a trip to Fredericksburg. Was pretty fun. But we stayed at a ranch west of there. In the rocky hills where there isn’t a lot of land good for crops, but a lot of cattle ranching and hunting leases. When i walked in to the house i found points on display in a cabinet. I could see they were all paleo except for one bird point (bird point was bad ass). And when i would go walk by myself i got the feeling that there were native spirits or something watching me. I found a point or two that had been fractured, so it was hard to tell if it was an actual point or a geofact. Either way i left them just to appease the spirits lol. But i had a realization on a walk when i found a few game trails. I realized that the wildlife is what would blaze the trails that led the trackers to them, many of these trails eventually turned into roads that we drive on every day. That we’re inherently connected to the natives and the game that they hunted to this day. Just blew my mind.
Great video..should go In depth more on a part 2 this history needs to be uncovered
We released part 2 a few weeks ago
If that is the Bandera Pass area, one of the Comanche chiefs that were killed during the battle of Bandera Pass, is buried up there on the NW side of the pass.
It's very close to that area. My family was in that battle. We've been here since the 1840s. Lots of Comanche history everywhere here along with Paleo Indians. I've found many points dating back to to 6,000bc
That is awesome.
😮 mom good video
In North Carolina they destroy indigenous mounds right in front of everyone. Do you think they cannot do it? It’s all documented, they’re not federally recognized-therefore the graves and protection act does not apply to them. Just take a peek at my avatar. Do you see the left side portrait?
It's a crying shame
Private property is the most important part of freedom. What right does any government have over what is on the private property of a citizen?
Are those the same giant armadillos that have been known to attack beer trucks in more recent times?
Pigs are like bears only they have no claws but they sure have teeth are are aggressive as heck. I was taking out the trash one night and one was close to the dumpster, it let me know real quick not to come any closer.
You might consider taking a shovel to that area and dig where you can. With that much debris on the ground I'll bet you could find some great points and tools within a few inches of the surface.
We've found about 30 points in the area of this mound so far.
Nice
5:54 looks like a marker tree
Flutes 🪈
It’s always flutes
Just once I’d love to hear an electric guitar like the Kick Ass band Indigenous !!
I live in East Texas and I recently searched my land and found some very interesting stones with sun flower and animal carvings along with civil war tools and an old busted skeleton key safe lock. I would like to know who or where I can have the stones looked at as to see what origin of time and culture is involved.
Check out the Texas Archeological Institute. Contact them tell them what you found and they may be able to identify it through pictures
Keep your stones and don't give them to anyone. All they will do is put them in a box that is stored somewhere and no one will ever see them again.
Midden not mound.
Almost certain this is by honey creek and guadalupe river intersection
This is near Bandera TX
the mounds are pr clovis not what is called Indian.
Wow, it’s a shame he destroyed that midden with a backhoe. Once it’s destroyed, the archaeological evidence is gone forever.
The problem with reporting the site is the government can enact eminent domain and seize your property. It's unfortunate that that's what keeps a lot of texas history undiscovered as 84 percent of the land is private owned
@@AncientAmnesia No they can’t. You just contact the Texas Archaological Society, and they’ll come study the site properly. The land owner can do anything they want with the artifacts, but the site gets recorded for posterity.
@@kellydiver I was told he went that route. He contacted Texas Archeological Institute to date points and got the information prior the the dig.
This video will likely answer a lot of questions for you about what the site is and how to properly investigate such sites: th-cam.com/video/DhqnvS4ad4Q/w-d-xo.html
There aren't enough people in Texas to dig up all the "archaeological" sites in Texas. Modern Texans are so brainwashed they think private property belongs to the government.
What is the nearest city to this location?
Bandera TX
Those Indian mounds have white people in them for some reason
Interesting, but not an Indian mound.
It's one of 3 Mounds on the property
Definitely not a mound.
Correct - it’s a midden, not a mound. The mound builders lived mostly in the Northern Woodlands, not as far west as Texas.
Just riddled with misinformation.
Care to detail what is Mis information?
When the Spanish tried to settle in Texas in the 1700s it was the Comanches who kept them in the south of Texas. After conquering so many other Indian cultures the Spanish could not defeat the Comanches and move farther north.
