- These are some random clips from last May until now of us out arrowhead hunting and looking for projectile points. These are some of our better pieces we found. We found about 10 brokes to 1 complete full point, so please keep that in mind.
Thanks for watching.

Several yrs ago we found a site south and east of Tucson, on the ridge of a hill with a lot of old deformed lead bullets and hundreds of ancient clay fired pottery shards with painted symbols, it was like some cowboys found this old clay pottery and justed used it as targets. We found a few flint flakes and broken peices of metate rock and manos that appeared to be made from lava rock. I still have an old cigar box of that stuff.
Polished piece looks very similar to the ones I have and I've always thought them to be nose or ear pins ...but they can be used for atl atl Spurs also 😁 killer finds !!!!
I was born in AZ and built a home a mile away from the headwaters of silver creek in 1977 after graduating from ASU. I still live there. Owned a restaurant in Snowflake for 15 years and am a retired principal. I have surfaced hunted all over AZ and Nevada and have hunted all over the Southwest and Wyoming as well as Canada, Alaska and Africa. I believe the petrified wood cone that you found is a paleo ear gauge. I know they wore ear spirals. Like an ear ring. Historic comments about this are sparse but can be found, in fact some Navajos still make these from turquoise. What a beautiful piece. I don't not know if they had ones for their noses though. I have a question for you about the decorated pottery shard ground into a round that you found. Archaeologists say they are game pieces. I think that is bull crap. I have a theory what they are if you are interested.
Thanks for the info. I have 5 different ones, that new one being the nicest piece. They all vary in size and length so it’s hard for me to say they are all ear pieces. I’m interested in your collection of points if you still have anything. I grew up in SF and live in Taylor now.
lmao, he really started his video with "I am employed, I do a man's man job. Please don't think I have time to do my hobbies. I am hard as fuck! Anyways, enjoy the video"
Nice points Trent! I can’t wait for she’d season.
That smooth one looks like carnelian agate. It’s beautiful!
In Navajo tradition, if you find a damaged arrowhead, it’s done it’s job and you let them rest. Any full ones were waiting for you to find them. Some nice finds man. Keep up the content. 👍🤘🏼
Is there harm in wanting to respect the culture and keep the pieces to tell their story? I want to start hunting but Id feel weird/almost disrespectful leaving the broken ones behind as if they weren't good enough to be proud of
Nice find!! Can't wait for shed hunting this year.
Same, we are going to tear it up.
Wow, that’s awesome. It looks to be an addle addle spur. It would be the part on the back of the addle addle they would slide into the spare shaft. Very very awesome find!
When you say, "Not super nice." I say, "FANTASTIC!"
Dude you all find some killer points. Thats an awesome area you have to hunt.
Awesome finds guys, really cool types of points out that way. That petrified wood piece looks pretty special, I wonder what it is.
Maybe an earring, nose plug, or hair pin, not sure.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen Sweet find. I found something very similar on a pottery site in Paulden. Mine is green and I found it in two pieces.
i like the vid,state are you hunting,cali i assume?the piece you found out of petrified wood etc,was that a nose piece or possibly an earring i havent seen anything similar....very cool,,,,,its great to see this in a family setting,congrats to your awesome family partaking in hunting arrowheads,when my children were small our family had the same adventures lol...even the porcupine,which we had happen four or five times at least.....along with two dogs being bitten by rattlers over the years.....anyway im new to your channel and just wanted to say thankyou for sharing.....from all of us here in the great basin....good luck and great hunting....
We are in AZ.
More arrowhead videos please!!!!!!
Just found your channel, watched this video and subbed! Great finds. You guys find some really incredible stuff it looks like. Even your stuff that's not as old is very unique and well-made. That petrified wood piece is museum quality for sure...whatever it is! WOW! I bet that made your day.
Dude you literally find the coolest shit ever!
Awesome finds. Thanks for sharing Trent. Hoping you can post more this coming year. I look forward to my TH-cam notifications that you've posted again
I’ll try to make some good videos this year.
That tapered tip, cylindrical piece without question is an exceptional find. Looking much further ahead, hope to see your booth at the Pioneer Days.
I hope this reaches you. The other reply under the rogue logo just took me back to the video. Your video inspired us to go out 3 times in the last seven days. We bought some of your logo shirts and may have ran into one of your trail cameras out past the windmills off 377, I guess. We have our arrowheads including the Nevada lithics which are 3 to one obsidian from black to gray and green. While you find some of these points in AZ they are mostly from trade material and rarer. I believe the pottery discs that are clearly ground down are bladder and stomach water skin plugs as well as plugs for other ceramic containers. The women carried these on yokes or suspended from the head and shoulders. The plugs would have acted as a stopper where the organic skin bag was attached with leather or rawhide. I know they used ceramic vessels this way as well that had handles set at a 90 degree angle at the pot and carried from the head or shoulder. While I have never found any with pitch on them it seems you always find them in the vicinity of ruins, trails to water or around water sources even if these sources are dry now. Do you think the ear gauge you found (If that is what it is) was a washed up grave good or just lost? Funny, I took five hunts to get the Grand Slam and never saw an artifact other than a petroglyph in Wyoming where I was unsuccessful. I guess I was just too stressed to look at the ground. We have found some very nice points and a couple of blades on our last 3 hunts but not as numerous as we once did.
Very rare fine on the ear ornamentation. Another possibility is a piece out of a shamans kit. In their kits they had a lot of unique polished stones like that. But given the taper is almost undeniably an ear piece. Well done.
If you didn’t already know this trick if you cut the tips off of the quills sticking out before you pull them out they come out way easier. The quills are inflated with air cutting them releases the air pressure and relaxes the barb. My dogs love getting after porcupines too and was taught this trick by an old woodsman.
I’ll try it out next time.
Great finds!! Haven't seen you do an arrowheads vid in quite a while. Good stuff.
In my opinion the polished piece is a atal atal spur put in a handle that's the piece that fits in the but of the spear spurs are common in the desert areas and extend the life of your spear thrower nice find !
Love your content. Would really like to come down to AZ. And do a shed hunt with you. Im a carpenter (27 years)in Steamboat CO.( 30 years) and shed hunt aswell! Also enjoy artifacting. Would be sweet to hookup on some outdoor adventures someday! I really enjoy your youtube channel and how you put forward your content. Keep up the good work!
Im new to your channel i gave you a sub
Awesome finds brother. Ronan is getting big quick. My son turned five in January and hate to tell you but even at five when they are pissed off your artifacts will once again go airborn😂, and anything in arms reach for that matter. Good luck with the shed hunting 👍🇺🇸
I went back and looked at all your arrowhead hunts and am amazed at all the flint on your sites, what a place to hunt. Good luck finding those Clovis points!!!
Really nice finds...not sure, but that piece you found made of petrified wood may be an ear piece.
I think you’re right about the ear piece, I found a similar piece in a creek a few weeks ago, mine is made of soapstone and is notched but most people are telling me it’s probably a ear piece or something ornamental, his is much cooler in my opinion though, Beautiful Artifact, they find some amazing stuff out west, Have A Blessed Weekend!!✌️
Ear or lip piece is my guess also
It is a bullet fired from a gun date to 1000AD.
Wow, wish I could find stuff like that. Really beautiful and skilled work they did for something they were just chucking at dinner. Great finds.
Really cool video, thanks for sharing!👍🏻🇺🇸
The broken piece you found at 6:25 looks like it might have another part laying next to it? I found a largish atlatl point that was broken like that around Ash Fork one time.
Isso é dente?
Never saw points like some of those y'all found used to roll threw your state 2times a week when I was driving now time to stop good video
Isso é dente?
that spike ground stone artifact is super cool.Im thinking atlatl counter wieight bannerstone or ear or nose plug
Yeah, I think a nose or ear plug.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen thats a real rare find .
@@duanehopland7506 I have a few of them but that’s the nicest one we’ve found. They are all slightly different. Maybe they aren’t all earrings.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen There are many many different types of atlatl counter weights (banner stones) If they allowed photos in comments I show uou some Ive found in NM desert and nearby mountains
Crazy how many you Find. Happy you will Post more so we can live through you
We walk a lot and don’t find many new surface finds, these are just highlights from last year mostly. We get lucky sometimes after big storms.
Just wondering if the area you are in is open to the public or do I need permission to be there.
Peleo candy corn!
I do go arrow hunting too love your video, in the video where was the location May I ask?
Trent, i need an area to search, i can trade an area where we find cohinnas in Heber. Thx John
Between Heber and Holbrook
That smooth sphere looks like possibly a belemnite fossil.
Inscrita e presente amigo direto do Brasil. ❤
I can never see the pieces even with you pointing the camera at them, until you pick them up. Nice work!
Man y’all find some Amazing points out west, you find points similar to the ones Coyote finds, I think the other commenter is right about that being a ear piece, heck of a find, I found a similar piece in a creek a few weeks ago, mine is made of soapstone and is notched but I think it may be a earpiece or something ornamental as well, great Video buddy, I felt bad for little buddy but give him a few years and he’ll probably be crying tears of joy when he finds a point, I wish I would have gotten started earlier in life but better late than never, Hope your Doggo is good? Thanks For Sharing Buddy, GL&HH!!!👊🏹
Good hunt. Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
Great video with Primo action. Your dog is a bad ass.
Hate to be that guy but you missed a point at 2:25 in the top left
Were out in Kearny, AZ, can you recommend any point hunting spots please, well only be here for a few days but would love to head out right now 😆. Thanks brother
Wish I could, just have never been down there. Look for a creek or wash and look near sandy hills nearby.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen Sweet, thanks for the advice!
Look up 'Belemnite' on the polished piece you found.
Thanks for posting the clue, very interesting.
I thought the same thing...but how would an ocean fossil get there?
@@hansenaz53even though it looks like a fossil I personally believe it's a man made artifact. But to give my opinion on how ocean fossil might be found there, wasn't the area under a sea way back? Also, people like now did trade goods from far away.
@@G53X0Y0Z0 Trade is possible...plenty of shell ornaments at AZ Indian sites and though I don't think Belemnites (which I like to find on the English coast) are common at those sites, a Google search says they have been found. An ancient sea deposit? - don't think so.
@@hansenaz53 Texas is loaded with Belemnite fossils from ancient oceans long gone. Having said that that doesn't mean a native didn't find one and polish it. I'd grab a loop and look for grinding/abrading lines or scratches on the surface that'll tell the tale.
Awesome finds, Trent. Great to see a new video from you. Have a good weekend.
Thanks 👍
That looks like a lead free bullet .
The round one looks like about a .338 300 grain? Never got loaded I guess, lucky find. :D
A bullet bade from petrified wood in the year 1000AD.
insane
Super awesome, good to see you guys
Id love to go out and do some arrowhead hunting. Any pointers on where I could try? Not looking for your honey hole, just want to find at least 1 point. Thanks
Its an atlatl hook.
Wow! I am from Indiana and just started watching videos on arrowheads, interesting, thanks for sharing.
I don’t think I could do arrowheads in Arizona knowing their are rattle snakes
It was used to smooth and shape the pot edges
I know they used certain rocks for that. I don't believe this piece would be used for that though. It's possible, we have a few others, but none of them this smooth or this nice. Others have said maybe a nose piece or earring peg.
That smooth rock piece looks like something from a necklace or hair decoration
Daymaker!
Thanks for taking me along.
Wish Trent would take me with......
That's what I was talking about!
ROFL, glad to see my kids are normal!!
1st ever Creedmore round
Great finds...
Very nice looking finds
Those finds are super gnarley!
Maybe that bullet shaped stone was a good luck charm.
if you hunt or fish with your children today you don't have to hunt for them tomorrow
Earring
Thanks for sharing the State you are hunting in.
The petrified wood piece they say is a lighting bolt
IDK where you guys r at but im sure with that many stone tools and or pottery laying around your trespassing
Always nice to see some points
Y'all find much of the hard stone?Manos metates and such
Yes, tons of unbroken manos. The metates are usually sandstone or basalt, but they are usually broken.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen I have seen some videos of a guy who gets permissions to hunt farm fields I suppose near Phoenix or Tucson and he has found some nice Hohokam hard stone
That thing was a fishing hook.
I don’t know if you know this or not. But if you snip off the end of the quill and release the air inside then the quill will come out a little easier. I learned that in Boy Scouts back in the “60s”. But I don’t know if anyone teaches it now.
Wow! I’ve got visit Arizona . All those pieces in clear view 😊
Look to be a metate to the upper right at 9:33

Please leave the artifacts where you found them, to preserve the history and future understanding of the site.
Technically arrowheads aren’t considered “artifacts” under ARS state land laws (ARS 41-842) and arrowheads are allowed to be surfaced collected under Fed laws (ARPA regs Title 16, 470ee, sub section (g) ). If someone wanted to research these sites, they either have already, or they don’t care to. Ranchers have been bull dozing the cedar trees off of these areas and running cattle on these lands for years, smashing real sites and breaking any surface stuff out there. Every archeaologist that really cares should be fuming at what the state and Feds let the ranchers get away with on cattle grazing lands. But stick one shovel in the ground and they claim you “damaged an archeological resource”, it’s the biggest hipocrisy out there today. Where are the protests from the archaeological community?
We are the only ones actually “preserving the history and future of these artifacts”, as you suggest.
Put them on You tube the best thing you can do is teach and show your finds get the information out their.
As though the indigenous people that lived there before they were the victims of genocide left goodies for the conquerors to find.
Like the indigenous were killing each other too. They woulda conquered it all if they had the technology to do so
How do you justify stealing artifacts from public land? Extremely illegal and you’re erasing history from the landscape
Love these types of comments. Pretty easily actually, I am saving history. Where were you when the ranchers took big bulldozers with drag chains and tore all of the juniper trees off of these AZ state lands tearing up ruins, pottery, and smashing tons of points just to get the grass to grow taller? Then when the ranchers released their cattle on these new grasslands to smash artifacts and points on the surface, were you at the lot gates protesting your disgust with how much cattle grazing destroys “history” from our state and public lands?
Do yourself a favor and look up some regulations on surface collecting arrowheads. Look up A.R.S 41-841, it says it’s not illegal to surface collect arrowheads on AZ state lands. Then do yourself a favor and read up on the ARPA regs on Federal lands Title 16, section 470ee, subsection g, where it says it’s not illegal to surface collect arrowheads on public lands.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen A.R.S. 41-842 states “no such activity shall be undertaken until a permit is first secured therefore from the director of the Arizona state museum.” And also states that activity may only be taken by “institutions, organizations or corporations organized for scientific, research or land-use, planning purposes me pursue any activity prescribed in section 41-841”. I definitely under the grazing argument and I completely agree that you’re right… grazing is terrible and i completely agree, but unfortunately it is written into law for both the BLM and Forest Service to allow. As a federal land employee who does archaeological work, what you’re doing is not the right approach. Looking at artifacts, taking photos, and appreciating them is awesome, but collecting them and putting them in a box in your closet for years to come is a different story. What if all that is left of your personal story in 1,000 years is a bullet buried in the sand, and some random person picks it up and puts it in their pocket and your story is erased…when possibly a scientist could have found it, explored the site and found a knife you lost, and then found what was left of your old campsite and learned about you and your family…and learned about the technology you used at that time and put it in a museum, and then hundreds of people could have learned about you and your story. Also, Arizona state law does not apply to federal lands.
@@knockout189 it’s under 41-841 B, last line. “Archeological specimen does not include arrowheads, coins, or bottles”.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen sorry I must have pulled up the wrong statute… that line isn’t included in the one I’m looking at.
But yeah, collecting artifacts from Federal land is illegal, and Federal law supersedes Arizona state law.
Been waiting for the arrow head clips
