- Back to basics! Matthew invited Spike to walk some field permissions he has and they had a pretty good day. They even explored an Indian mound with a confederate soldier buried on the top of it. They covered quite a few miles and picked up some nice artifacts so come along as we get back to our roots.

I remember in the 70's dad got permission to hunt a pasture that was just plowed up for the first time. The old maps had the field labeled as a buffalo wallow. We found a couple banner stones, axes and hundreds of points. It was exciting day walking out of that field with two pockets full of arrow heads. We still find something in that field ever year since then.
Cool man
That's awesome
Tell us about big foot now.
@@jordynk6651 Piss off, I'm not a lying democrat
Wonderful
This was my favorite activity with my Grandad. Sure miss wandering through the sand hills of Nebraska hunting blow outs with him. I still keep my eyes to the ground, I just don't enjoy it quite as much.
Thank you boys for reminding me of how much fun it is.
Where in the Sandhills? Garden County is where I grew up
I’ve done some great hunting and fishing in cherry county
Seeing this brings back precious memories for me. My grandad and I use to hunt arrowheads back in the 70's and I loved every minute of it. Spending time with my grandad was priceless. My luckiest find was not a whole point, but the back end of the point I decided to put in my stash and I walked about another 50 plus yards and found the front end of it to make it whole. What are the odds? Grandad and I used nail aprons from the local lumber store to carry our finds in. It was a wonderful time.
when i lived in florence tx i use to find them everywhere just walking the dirt roads. had over 100 different points when i moved . loved doing this..
When I started watching Heartbreak Relics I hadn't started looking arrowheads, but you all inspired me to start. My mom had given me her collection many yrs. ago, and had always loved reading about Native Americans and sharing her knowledge of that with me growing up. So your videos and the information that y'all shared along with all the tips you showed, helped me be successful in my endeavors. I love all the videos and the cool places you go, and the guys that y'all share the artifact hunting with. Thanks for being educators, and great role models. 💖
Thank you very much for watching and always leaving great comments. It thrills us to know we have been an influence on others in the hobby and it is our pleasure to share our knowledge (such as it is) and experience with others.
OMG!!! If I found all of those arrowheads in the same day, I’d get so excited I would spontaneously combust 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your videos, and I adore your band of brothers ❤
Thank you so much!
Treasures laying on the ground 😃 got many kids including my son to pick up this hobby..teach the young ones this awesome activity and it will keep them off the video gaming and the streets. Been field walking for 40 + years glad I found your channel 👍
We're glad you found us too.
I just found a drill and a birdpoint today and you just made me have the courage to hunt some more and found 2 more. Thank you Spike.
That's awesome. Congratulations!
I did this activity in the late 70’s with my Grandma Jane in fields by her house in Winamac, Indiana… I put all my arrowheads in an old cigar box!! The memories as a young boy are forever remembered and priceless… love this video
Thanks.
I live outside of elkhart and have been trying to find one my entire life with no luck. My granddad used to find them in the 70s outside of goshen
We used to pick up arrow heads right off the top of the ground on the edges of muck fields in west Michigan, this was in the late 60’s and 70’s , sure wish I would have kept them
Dudeeee. This is right down the road from my house!! Maybe half a mile. That's awesome
Hard to beat some fresh dirt to walk with points to find! The anticipation of what you might walk up on is addicting. Then when you finally walk up on one, it takes a second to realize what you’re seeing. Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing Spike!
I feel sorry for folks that have never had that experience. It has started many of us on this journey in constant search of the illusive arrowhead. As always thanks for stopping by.
What a great video!!! Love the way you blend the music and scenery in with your finds. Nice to see the passion and the excitement of a great find .
Thanks! We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Fellow artifact hunter here in North Florida... I've been doing it so long my daughter actually got a degree in archeology and anthropology from me dragging her around.
Cool! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Don't take them home
I leave them for you
He's a real "stickler" for finding those points! And that was a really good hunt too.
When I was around 6 years old we lived in northern Arkansas and I remember finding a beautiful obsidian point with near perfect symmetry just laying in the middle of "Sugar Creek". It became the prize of my collection. Soon there after a family came over to visit our family and the kids came in my bedroom to play. I turned around as one of them said "Hey look! It's flint. I can make sparks". Before I could say anything I saw him strike that obsidian point against another...breaking it in two! Sugar Creek, you broke my heart!
Oh no! That's sucks.
Always look forward to your videos! Love the positivity that shines through when looking for points. Thank you for the knowledge sharing and tips that you share along the way❤️
It is our pleasure. Thanks.
Mighty fine editing, choice of music, and i absolutely love to see the excitement of finding a great or once in a lifetime find, trust me i know exactly how it feels gentlemen. I also love the people that enjoy collecting these artifacts for the right reasons. My wife and i absolutely love doing this together here in northeast Mississippi. Keep em comin fellers
Thanks so much!
Another great video Spike! Thanks for taking us along! 👍👍
Our pleasure. Thanks for coming along.
Spike I’m glad you got a chance to hunt a field , I’m the same way . They quit plowing around here 25 years ago and I’ve had to hunt bare spots in the foliage ever since , but I still love it . Thank you for sharing with all us .
It is our pleasure! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Love finding them in the field!! Some gorgeous points, congrats! You guys rock
Thanks so much!
It’s great to see guys out looking for arrow heads. You enjoy the wildlife and if you find an arrowhead or pottery you will be in the bonus round! Love it. Have not been able to look for them like you guys but I damn will eventually will do it! Great channel live next door in Tejas!
Thanks and you are absolutely correct. Being outdoors with your friends is what is really all about. Everything else is just lagniappe.
Cool video Spike! The mound spot is one of my favorite places. I hope yall went down and saw the creek. It's a beautiful place! Wish he would of plowed it this year, but I think they are going no-till.
Thanks Will. We didn't make it down to the creek. Let's hope they don't go to no till.
It's amazing for some of us to think about how many arrowheads there are out there. After some thought, I think of how many generations of indians there were and how that adds up to arrowheads everywhere. It's like finding a bottle cap with a metal detector, but we've only had bottle caps for several decades.
That's right.
Great! Love those arrow heads! Especially the one with all of the golden and red colors!
Thank you!
Cool finds Matthew and Spike. Well worth the time.
Thanks Jack. It sure was nice to get to walk a field again.
Spike
I grew up on a bluff overlooking a tributary to a river that was a lake/wetland following the Wisconsin glacial episode until it eroded through the valley train deposits and drained. Picking up Dalton points in the yard while growing up was fun.
Great vid Spike!!! And really nice finds!!! Nothing like field walking!!! 👍🏻
Thanks Mike! Yep, that's where it all started. It's possibly the oldest collecting hobby in North America.
Glad to see another post from you great folks.
Thanks.
Awesome !! Nothing better than walking a good field...
Thanks. You got that right.
Awesome hunt congratulations on your finds beautiful points👍🙏
Thanks Tim.
Good video! The mound is a wonderful place. And you both found sweet finds. Take care.
Thanks, you too!
Great Job... The Weather looks prime for hunting!!!
Thanks Stan. Yep, you couldn't ask for better weather.
Can’t ever go wrong with a field! Nice finds GL👍👍
You got that right! Thanks!
I used to think I was weird to walk around and hunt for treasures...but then I found youtube!! My people!!
Thanks!
I think of it as another way to spice up a good long hike.
.Enjoy his great camaraderie as if he had walked with you friends. Good piece that bulbous stem. Congratulations on this great team friends. See you next time.
Thanks my friend 👍
Enjoyed this adventure with you from WA state 2023, TY
Thanks!
Only had the opportunity to walk some fields a couple times but had fun doing it! Joel grew up in Iowa and walked some fields there. Congrats!
Thanks Kyle! It really is very relaxing and a lot less work than digging lol. Continued good luck to yall up there.
Nothing like field artifact hunting. Great job on the video Spike 🏹
Thanks John and you're right!
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks! It's always a pleasure to hear from you.
@@HeartbreakerRelics hey I just posted a new video this morning showing one of my sites and show how to locate a camp I think you will find it interesting
Nice finds! I only have the ability to collect on fields, thankfully recently one of the properties I hunt on had a grass field overturned and on my 1st hunt I found my 1st drill, along with a cache with three small blades, and a whole bunch of other partial points/tools.
Man that's awesome! Congratulations!
Nice video, Spike. We have the same deal up here in Pennsylvania with the no till farming practices. Makes artifact hunting more of a challenge, but its the responsible way to farm with all the sediment issues down in the Chesapeake Bay from our river.
That's true but there's also the cost issue. Farmers need to save as much as they can these days.
@@HeartbreakerRelics Didn’t even think about that. Good point.
I found a few arrowheads in Missouri my grandparents had 80 acres and after a rain he would have me look where he had plowed.I couldn't stop until I found one.
Great story!
Enjoyed yalls adventure nice points
Thanks!
And as always. Enjoyed the video. Take care friend
Thanks, you too!
New sub love your hat brother! Thanks for teaching us! I have been hunting for years around south western pa haven’t had much luck but they are here for sure so I’m learning all I find is deer sheds and nice old bottles
Thanks and both accounts. The hat has been with me since the beginning of the channel, almost seven years ago. We love old bottles and deer sheds too!
Great Finds! Another kool video!
Thanks!
Love your videos!
We're so glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Great video nice to see some nice finds coming up
Thanks.
Working the fields like in the old days. At 75 I'd like to do it from an ATV.
Nice finds Steve 🇬🇧👍
Thank you Steve!
cool finds, its great being retired Spike !
Thanks and yes it is!
Awesome finds and video I always enjoy watching y'all.happy hunting.
Thanks! We appreciate it. GL&HH to you too.
@@HeartbreakerRelics Thank y'all it means a lot coming from y'all.I've been watching y'all for a long time now.
@@backcountryrelics thanks for staying with us!
I've found hundreds of points and artifacts over the years farming in the Midwest. Higher ground and hilltops seem to do the best. Especially in the spring after everything has freezed and thawed. Fall tillage helps bring them up. Just hard to find good bigger pieces intact anymore.
I agree. Walking fields is the easiest way to find them and most of the good fields have been walked to death. Creeks are the future of relic hunting I believe.
@@HeartbreakerRelics
That's a good idea. I'll have to try that more
I haven't found a arrowhead, but on the river shoreline here in S.C, I've been finding the pottery, and there is a big mound right there also.
If there's pottery there's probably points too.
Where did you move from?
I live in Indiana, the land of the Indians. I’ve walked field after field after creek after field after sandbar after field after field. I have walked thousands of acres for hours and hours and I have found only 2 points in my life. Y’all have found about a dozen in the same general location in a couple of hours!! Absolutely amazing! How?!?! What the heck is going on??
I don't know. All I can say is maybe you're hunting areas where there wasn't much activity. I would suggest first look for the debitage, the chips and flakes. If those aren't there I wouldn't waste my time looking very long.
Oklahoma is the land of the red man for real but good luck finding arrowheads unless the casino is called arrowhead
@@danielk8149 really I’m here in Oklahoma and I have found them try looking where two rivers meet
You should have found more than that.
I live in upper Ohio river valley by yellow creek and Tomlinson run one of the biggest summer camps ever and I can’t seem to find anything either but I haven’t given up yet
Cool video. I lived in east Arkansas for a lot of 62 years and there are mounds around there, and yes not all are burial mounds, most aren't. I've found thousands of heads and other artifacts walking fields. Also if get out in flat field and squat down and look around 360 degrees and see the high spots at close to ground level as possible look there, thats where a possible Indian settlement was, to be above the high water that would often flood the region. Also along rivers and Streams often in the bends and dog legs of the streams. I'm a addict going on 50+ years now keeping my nose to the ground. Keep up good work!
Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Back in the 70s I would do this with my dad and he had tons of points of all kinds. I have no idea what ever happened to his collection. He has since passed and in the clean out of his house and garage they were not found. I have been heartbroken we never found them. I would love to be able to hunt them somewhere one day and walk out with some points just to have in his memory.
Find a field and get permission and get out there.
Spike you know your surface hunting! I'm 65 now and use the same method,working fine for about 58 years! Hahaha
You got a few years on me there but you're correct. It works great. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Sometimes I wonder...how many people in those times would like to live in theses times and visa versa knowing full well what those times entailed...
Good finds thanks
Thank you.
Nice work!
Thanks!
Hey Spike good hunt and nice artifacts. Always a pleasure watching y’all’s videos. God bless and good luck
Thanks! You too!
We use to picm arrowheads up by the pocketfulls, when we were kids growing up! The farmers would turn the ground, chissle plowing then disk plowing.They dont turn the ground anymore. Allso after a rain you could walk the same field and find more!
So many of is started that way. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Great video!
Thanks.
enjoyed that tremendously.. hunt corn fields shortly after they have been planted after a decent rain.. they pop
Thanks.
GOOD MORNING MR.SPIKE HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING FINE SIR? I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO 😀👍♥️ 🖐
Good morning Sharon!
My grandfather walked fields along the Willamette River after plowing, found dozens of points and scrapers, some near perfect condition 👍😎
Your grandfather had a great time then! Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Great video. Man it would certainly be fun to turn rocks with yah spike.
Thanks. That would be cool!
Tobacco fields where I'm from are literally the best. They trench and flip12 to 14 inches.....let it rain and they are laying everywhere.
The last time I went out I found one the width and length of my hand. My brother in law who is an avid hunter collector said because it was so ridiculous in size that it was most likely a ceremonial piece. I have about 150 other points but unfortunately no time now to hunt.
I look at passing fields now like teenagers look at girls....I just mutter ....damn that's a good lookin field
How did you get permission to hunt?
@@dcunningham157 look for the house with all the combines and farming equipment and ask...tell them you'll pick up every over sized rock out of their field as you are walking and that you'll stay between the rows.
Just subscribed to your channel never been arrowhead hunting before which i like old marbles rocks and fossils might just add arrowheads to my hobby as well very cool good video keep it up
Thanks and welcome aboard.
I’m so happy I found your video! I’m a new hunter and my grandson walked in a river, bent over and found a huge one! Perfect condition. I am needing more advise as to finding and what to look for. I am in the river the entire time and the banks. Apparently I need to look in the fields! I’m worried about it being someone’s property! We do pick trash up every single time we go anywhere! Thanks for sharing!!
Permission is a must anywhere you go. Also check your Federal and state laws.
Nice finds congrats
Thanks.
Some decent field finds.
Thanks. Yep, they were better than a sharp stick in the eye lol.
Thats crazy ! i may have walked over thousands of arrowheads and never known it ! a salmon stream is right across the road from me in Washington St.
We have all no doubt walked over many of them.
Love ya'll thanks!
Our pleasure! Thank you!
That's a huge ceremonial mound. It may have had smaller mounds on top that have been lost over the years. There is a mound I know of in Madison Parish which also has white eye graves on top of it.
When we were growing up the winning combo was a good heavy disk job, then a good heavy rain. Dad said if we find any flint, it's an artifact, flint wasn't native, they'd have to trade with the Indians up near Erie. Come up with some nice blades over the years.
That's right. They're all artifacts and a plowed field and some rain are an artifact hunter's friend.
Hey, Spike, go to 16:40 on your video counter and look at the sky over your right shoulder - if that doesn't say,
"X MARKS THE SPOT", then nothing does!
That is so cool Don. I don't know how I missed that in editing.
Hey Neighbor!! I hadn’t really thought about it before but I guess the Indian Mounds are common. I lived near A couple when I lived in Arkansas . (It does my soul good to see the familiar fields and landscape. There’s nothing I can think of off hand that’s more relaxing)
The mound that was near me went straight UP! I’m going to guess and say 30-40 ft? It had some huge trees planted there and also was A Cemetery with maybe A dozen gravesite’s that we could see. Lots of flint at the base and in the fields. We didn’t stay long. The horses were real restless. They sensed or maybe saw A Bobcat .
Ya know what though, there was another old Cemetery we’d ridden along the edge of and the horses got spooky there too. That Cemetery also had old Graves, but of Slaves in it instead . There was A old Plantation you could see from it. About the only thing I don’t miss from there would be the Mosquitoes (state bird lol and humidity)
Thanks for watching and for the great comment. Indian mounds are fairly common and before the industrial revolution were much more common. So many of them were leveled after heavy machinery came along and made it easier to do. In many cases the soil was used by state and local governments for fill dirt. Thanks again and take care.
I live ten miles from Cahokia, on the old National Road (trail) and though an outdoors man, I've never found a single artifact.. but I never knew how to look for them before. Thanks - I better get busy.
Good luck!
This was very interesting! Good job 👏! Greetings from Palma de Mallorca 👍
Thank you! 😃
Took someone to one of my favorite spots once . Next thing he had 3 other folks out there . Won't do it again .
Out here in Utah my grandsons and I went out looking for artifacts, we certainly found a whole lot of them. But it was all just broken beer bottles wine bottles of whiskey bottles. We didn't find any stone artifacts that would have been illegal
I would love to meet up and hunt with you guys one day! Keep the content coming! I’m from Coffee co. Ga
Thanks. Maybe one day!
Had a friend turn me on to artifact hunting years ago. That's one thing he told me to look for were flakes. If you find flakes you'll find points. In western SC. points are everywhere. I look at it as a time machine.
It's probably the closest we'll ever see to a time machine.
Spike is da man!
Thanks!
Nice 👍
Thanks.
14:51 I’m gonna need a jump scare warning hahahaha
There ain't nothing like walking a good field. Probably 90% of my collection is field finds. Mostly from years ago. Nowadays they are all no-till.
Yep, it's a lot cheaper. My brother has started scratching instead of disking to plant their rye grass. Rye will come up on a concrete slab if you water it lol. I was glad to get a chance to walk these with Matthew.
Enjoyed 😉!!! Now your doin my kinda huntin! Lol
Thanks! Trying to find some of that stuff like you find lol.
There were falls in the Columbia River called celilo falls, so many salmon below those falls it supported many tribes of Indians. They say there was an 8 mile long encampment on both sides of the river making it the largest town in America for who knows how many 100s of years. The paths beside the rivers. Several inches deep in solid rock. Artifacts, paintings and carvings were everywhere. I happen to grow up there to young to understand why the Indians were so upset about dynamiting those rock formations before building the Dalles dam and covering the falls and most spawning grounds for salmon. They also say the once mighty Columbia supported the largest salmon runs on the planet, with dried salmon found as far away as the Yucatan penenencla.but we fixed that, all for the bpa promise of cheap electricity for life..
I have been encouraged the last few years to see where they are removing some of the damns around different parts of the country and restoring the streams to their natural state. Maybe they will do the same up there.
very fun! 💕👵
Thank you 🤗
Thank you sir! New sub here.👍🏻
Thanks.
My passion
Listen to this man folks.
Thanks Zach!
I've found around 8 in my own backyard.
Cool.
Dang spike I believe we came up and built that pole barn over there lol
Really? Cool.
Yes! I 100% believe that is absolutely an Indian burial mound. It matches other ones like it, and the cemetery is a dead giveaway.
Thanks for your input.
I was fishing a Creek in Arizona and thought I was picking up plastic pieces for a second and it turned out to be the most beautiful white and black pottery pieces.
Awesome!
Going to hunt Palo duro canyon my friend who hunted arrowheads stopped to see a old man.Joe said I once knew a guy with a Clovis axe head.The guy reached down and picked up one in the floor.He had another one and a room full of artifacts.He had an effigy of an Aztec face on a rock about 3 inches square.This probably meant there was trade between Texas panhandle and central Mexico.The area had much flint.Asked where he found his things all he said was "in the canyon".
Cool.
