Arrowhead hunting TN - The new spot strikes again!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2022
- A few last finds from April and some from May. The first point up is a beautiful piece made out of some awesome looking Dover chert. I have 3 artifacts in this video that I was hoping I could get some input on. 3 hourglass shaped slate pieces, all found in 1 spot, and only found in that spot. Over the years I've found 20+ of these all from this particular spot. Any thoughts on them would be appreciated! The last artifact in the video and the little drill were both found on the same day, 6' apart from each other, all from the newfound spot that has produced the highlight pieces in my last few videos. There aren't many rocks at this new spot so I'm excited to see all that comes out of it, hopefully unbroken from the lack of rocks! Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven't done so yet and hit the bell to get notified when a new video gets posted!
Thank you 🙏✌️👍
Mornin Brother . Amazing finds again and again . And of course you find another beautiful drill ! Thanks again for your great video .
Hey buddy! Well you know I gotta throw in at least 1 drill in there for you! I’d call that one a toothpick though! Haha sorry for the belated response. It took me a while to get back on here, but I will always try and get back at you every time! If not, it’s a total mishap. Hope you’ve been well man!
Very nice pieces.... congratulations 🤝🏻
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment as well.
Another great performance R. Star. That last one is a masterpiece…Nice work man thanks.
Thanks again and as always buddy, I appreciate it!
Amazing video as always! Enjoy each and every one! Keep them banks hot.
Thanks buddy! It’s been pretty slow here lately, but I should have found enough for a decent video by next week. I appreciate you always taking the time to check out the videos!
The slate pieces that you found are casting net weights used for fishing with nets.
I was going to say the same thing..net weight
Thanks! So far net weights have by far gotten the most votes. I guess I’ll have to listen to all you pros out there and call em that from now on! Thank y’all for watching and for the input.
@@Points365 I have seen similar pieces called net weights, it’s not guaranteed but most likely. It makes sense being readily available slate that won’t cut the material like flint
Great finds man! That is a bomber of a site. Keep on plucking those beauties.
Haha thanks buddy! I appreciate you as always taking the time to watch and comment. Hope you’ve been well out there!
Best site on the internet for artifacts
Haha man I appreciate it! It’s been pretty slow here lately, but by next week I should have a decent video put together. Hopefully it won’t disappoint! Thanks as always for watching buddy!
Just wow!
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Wonderful brother! ♥
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to come back and check it out!
I am certainly no expert and others have said those notched pieces might be fishing net weights. What first came to my mind is they may have been used like a spoke shave to round up arrow shafts. I have a well made blade that has a notch in it similar to those and I am almost sure that is what it was used for. In any case, super nice artifacts!! I love watching your videos.
Thanks for the input man! Indeed the majority of feedback I’ve gotten from those pieces was net weights. I can see what you see though. It wouldn’t be unlike them to make it multi purpose! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment buddy!
Excellent camera work!
Thanks again! The trusty old iPhone 11! I keep it on me just for recording purposes. It takes wayyy better videos than my newer iPhone. The new ones want to autofocus for you… I prefer to be in control of the focusing! Thanks again buddy!
Another great day! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Joyce, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Amazing finds as always!! I like the mystery slate finds! And the drill is a beauty! Also the red purple point and the last one is beautiful. Take care and happy hunting.
Thanks as always! The mystery pieces wound up being net weights. Since I’ve found so many in the same spot over the years, people think it might have all come from one big net that was lost / abandoned. It’s pretty awesome to think about it like that! Thanks again for checking it out!
Enjoyed watching love these videos
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate the kind words.
Killers man awesome! Great vid 👌, good luck out there 🏹
Thanks buddy! It’s been kinda slow here lately. But you know how it goes… they show up and reveal themselves when they are ready! Hope you’ve had some luck lately. Thanks again for taking the time to check out the new finds. Sorry for the belated response as well!
Salut my Friend,
How are you? I do hope you and yours have been well! ....though I can see for myself; you are quite able to walk the water's steep edge, and then; your eyes are still keen as ever! And again, another collection of your memories, and you presenting them brings everyone such joy! So surely, you must where a grin nine days out of ten, merely for knowing how to hunt your locations! Whatever you are doing, the results are admirable! Be assured, I'm well aware that you put in the time; walking those long uneven miles, shows both your work ethic and dedication to your passion!
Every artifact, uniquely beautiful, e ey one! ....and I am all the more happier because you are THE ONE that found them!
Sending good cheer
and may you be amply
blessed, my Friend!
Thank you good sir! I am indeed living it up, and to its fullest as best I can. Sorry for the belated response. I haven’t had much time lately for hunting or responding to people. I have to work every now and then to maintain a somewhat balanced life of comfort and my passion for recovering artifacts! It’s been relatively slow here the past couple weeks, but I should have enough finds for a decent video by next week. I hope all is well and as always, thank you for the kind words!
@@Points365
Salut my Friend!
No needs for an apology! .... you are just living the best way you know how, and nobody can fault a man for that!
Anyways, you are doing all the work while I'm tagging around, peeking at what prizes you may find, and on general; I just stopped in to jaw at you as I'm visiting! ....to be right truthful and disclose things from from my viewing angle, I must say; you've been more than hospitable, you are a genuinely nice individual! ....and when you find artifacts, your pleasure is mine! ....please know that I really appreciate the lengths you take making these videos! So, thank you! This corner of Yoootooob is very lucky to have you.... Have an Awesome Weekend, I'll be watching for the next installment; wishing
you the best of luck! Cheers!
Nice Finds Congratulations
Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Awesome bud!! 👍🏻😎
Thanks again and as always buddy!
Excellent finds my friend. I'm goin to try and get out this weekend and find a couple killers. Hopefully my creeks are not flooded.
Hey buddy! Sorry for the belated response. I was finally able to get back on here today to get some reply’s in. Hope you had some luck the other week when you got out! We could sure use the rain around here… i could care less about the grass dying, bet jeez I need some artifacts to get washed out! Haha Thanks again man for always taking the time to comment and check out the finds. Good luck out there on your future hunts!
@@Points365 No problem my man. And yes sir I did do very well the last couple times i went out. I'm goin out this weekend for my birthday hopefully I get lucky and find a few killers. But I'll take the broken ones all the same. I almost like the broke ones you can tell were used a little bit more. Gives them some personality. Hopefully you get a good rain pretty soon.
Awesome man, beautiful Churchill Kirk in the latter part of the vid. That's a little beautyn and a smoker harpeth river too
Thanks a lot man! That particular spot where I found that kirk, almost exclusively produces that type of kirk. but finally someone else that thought that piece looks like a harpeth river! I thought the same myself, but was going to see if anyone else thought that as well. Thanks for checking it out and commenting man!
@@Points365 yes sir I think harpeth river all day on that one for sure.
My first thought would be a net weight, for whatever it’s worth
If most other people are correct, your guess would be right! Net weights have by far gotten the most votes. I appreciate the input buddy!
Killer artifacts as always. The slate piece are net weights or fishing weights. God bless and good luck
Thanks buddy, I appreciate the input! That seems to be the consensus of a lot of other people as well… I guess I can say I have an answer now! Thanks again for coming back to check out the new finds. Hope all is well!
Out here in Oregon..those could be either weights...but my bet would be like a sling weight for waterfowl or possibly water skipers for waterfowl also..
Thanks for the input man! Most people have guessed net weights. That’s an interesting thought with the waterfowl input. I appreciate it!
My guess is those slate artifacts with the notches were used as net sinkers for fishing.
Thanks for the input man! Net weights has by far gotten the most votes. I guess I’ll have to go with the consensus of all you pros and start calling them net weights! Thanks for checking it out man!
Another outstanding video! 👍🏻👍🏻 Not 100% sure but I would guess those mystery pieces are net weights…
Thanks again! Yeah I’ve gotten net weights as the main response to the mystery pieces. After doing more research, I’d say that I’d have to agree! I’m glad I’ve been picking them up this whole time! As I was told back in the day.. “if it looks odd, it’s worth checking out”. Thanks again for checking it out!
I’m live up around dale hollow in tennesse! Find some good points on occasion. So much got covered up when they damned the river. No telling what’s buried beneath that lake
That’s a beautiful area, and a beautiful lake! Prime area up there too. It pains me to think about what’s laying at the bottom of these lakes. Maybe it’s about time to get me some scuba gear! Haha I snorkeled for artifacts once back in the day. A cache had slid off into the water from a landslide. I found about 5 in the water, but it was freaky only having 2” of visibility or so! It would be a different story on your lake though!
Dude, the way you hold and show your artifacts is just perfect, thank you for that!!! Us folks that enjoy this, sure do appreciate it. 10/10
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I try and be as steady handed and focused on the artifacts as best as my excitement will allow me. I’m glad it’s enjoyed by others as well! Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to check it out!
As always...spectacular finds sir....you are blessed...I agree with the other's assessment that this small bow tie like pieces are net weights....keep rockin.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it! I am blessed for sure. But you’re correct, most other people seem to say net weight. I have no choice but to go with the opinions of the pros on here! Thanks for the input man and for taking the time to check it out!
I know when i see Points 365 pop up that I'm in for a treat. I enjoy your finds, your format and even your music choices speak of laid- back outdoor adventure. Thanks again!
Hey man, sorry for the belated response.. But I sure do appreciate it! It’s been slow going around here lately. I’ve found a few here recently, but work has a way of getting in the way of artifact hunting! Haha thanks as always for checking out the videos buddy!
Net weight? Maybe gorget blanks? Nice finds brother!
Thanks for the input buddy! So far net weights have the most votes. I guess I’ll have to get on board with that and let the pros like y’all make the call! Haha thanks for checking it out man!
@@Points365 Hardly a pro, just my humble opinion brother. Really enjoy your videos! Good luck on your next hunt!
Fantastic finds as usual my friends. Many years ago I met a man from Texas who showed me about 30 rocks with indentions in the middle of the stones. He called them Waco Sinkers. He said they were tied on to nets for fishing. Since you hunt waterways it sounds like a good possibility what you found could be tie on weights. Congratulations on all your finds.
Hey buddy! Thanks for the input. Net weights have by far gotten the most votes. I guess I’ll have to go with the consensus of you pros and go with net weights! Sorry for the belated response. Since I’m not retired like some of you lucky folks, I still have to spend the majority of my time working! Haha hope all is well man!
Fishing weights? Maybe net weights ? 😎👍
That’s what most people seem to think. Thanks for the input and thanks again for checking it out!
I'm amazed at the artifacts you find. Every single video has something awesome in it. Super cool man!
Thanks man! It never fails to amaze me, the artifacts that are able to be found in this area. With the lack of rain around here lately, not much is coming out! Hopefully it’ll pick back up here soon. I’ve got a few recent finds for another video soon. After that… I’ll officially be out of content! Haha time to get to work! Thanks as always for checking it out buddy!
No idea on the small slate pieces. Possibly net weights. They all seemed to have shallow notching in the center. Some beautiful points as always! The first and last pieces are year makers. Thanks for sharing!
I believe that the slates with the dent in the middle are net weights to make it easier to toss into the stream and sink. Maybe all the pieces (weights) came from the same fishing net.
So far net weights by far have the most votes. I always assumed those would have a little more weight to them, but I don’t claim to be the pro at identifying artifacts! Haha thanks to y’all for the input.
Great points and a great variety of cultures and types. That is one productive site.
Thanks buddy! I cover an area that spans across 4-6 counties that I regularly hunt, depending on how much free time I have. It keeps me busy during my free time, and produces quite a bit. I never know if I’ll be coming home with some paleo or historic artifacts. It keeps me on my toes! Thanks again for coming back to check out the finds buddy!
Awesome artifacts buddy. The slate pieces are interesting, maybe net weights?
Thanks man! I believe you’re right on the net weight though. That seems to be the most common guess people are making. After doing some research on them, I would have to agree! Thanks again for checking it out buddy and for taking the time to give your input.
Nice finds you definitely got a honey hole enjoyed the video new sub thanks for sharing
Thanks man! I am for sure blessed to live in an area that’s rich in ancient history. I try and not take for granted what I have right outside my back door! I appreciate the sub, the comment, and you taking the time to check it out! It’s been slow hunting here lately, but I finally found enough to put together a new video. It’ll be out tomorrow afternoon!
Nice 🤙
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to check em out!
Im in southern middle Tennessee and my luck has ran out....I wish I could find a fraction of the stuff you do!
Thanks man, I stay on it as much as work / life will allow me to. Seems as if everyone else out there has tons more time to hunt than I do because all I seem to be finding the past couple months is mostly footprints. It’ll hopefully turn around for both of us eventually! I appreciate you taking the time to check out the finds, and for commenting. I always enjoy the locals stopping by! Good luck out there buddy!
Maybe some sort of scraper?
Super great points as always. Man, if I ever make it up your way. I'm looking you up my friend. Our rivers n creeks are very different. I know you're a man of few words in ur videos. You allow ur points do all you the talking. I wish you would put a caption of the kind of points they are. Continue picking up history. One rock at a time..If ever you pass through south Georgia. Send me a smoke signal. I'll be glad to take you hunting points with me..
Thanks man! I’ll be sure to light up a stack of tires to send out a good signal to you! Haha I get that request from some about what type of points they are, but I’d for sure mis identify points on a regular basis, so I don’t even try anymore! I’d say I’m a pro at finding them.. identifying them.. ehh not so much! But I have a good friend that lives in Brunswick, GA. When they were bulldozing to build their house, they were finding points. I wanted to come down and halt the construction so I could kick around through the dirt first! Haha
All very old pieces today mate ✌️💚🍄
Thanks buddy! Hope all is well. Sorry for the belated response.. I’m just now getting back on here to respond! I have to go to work every now and then to maintain a somewhat comfortable life to afford me the ability to hunt for artifacts as much as I do! Hope all is well with you.
@@Points365 all well here thank you Sir
Nice finds. My best guess is they were shaft tools. I like tools as much as points. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the input man! So far net weights has gotten the most votes, I’m not 100% sold on that though. I don’t claim to be a pro at identifying artifacts though! Thanks for checking it out man!
Again and again! What some amazing artifacts you find my friend! Congrats! Thanks for sharing your videos and time! Well worth it!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
wow i love seeing those getting discovered , inspires me to try and replicate these types
Glad you enjoy man, and hope your replication is just as impressive, if not more so! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Best projectile point vids out there. It’s probably a lot of extra work, but would you be able to put a little blurb in there that notes the type and age?
Beautiful points again sir. I'm with a lot of the people in the comments, I believe those were net weights. It was either a whole net that they lost, or they just used that same spot all the time. Still an awesome find. The net being drug over the bottom repeatedly may also explain the use wear on the ends of the pieces.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate the insight and more detailed explanation as to how they might’ve been used, and why they might look the way they do. I not only wanted to know what they were, but also enjoy knowing how they might have been used as well. Thanks as always for taking the time to check out and comment buddy!
Like comments below, those slate pieces area likely net or casting weights. Out west we have massive dry lakes in the desert with ancient terraces & shorelines that you can walk for days & miles and maybe find a spot or two with some flint or chert waste flakes, a chopper., scraper or point once in a while, but there are many- many the same slate net weights you found along the river, only found on many different dry lake terraces ancient shorelines 100 miles from the closest body of water, the weights tend to be much larger and a little more hourglass shaped. I saw a massive collection of net weights over in Nevada once, many were huge & weighted up to 1/2 pound each, others small from casting nets. Interesting that in that Pleistoscene epoch The lake called Lake Lahotan had trout were estimated to be at least 60+ pounds 8-10ks years ago when the lake was full & covered 100's of square miles after the last ice age.. The indigenous people must have had some serious nets and weights as well as well tule/bullrush built watercraft in order to catch those deep water trout with nets, Hard to imagine having 5 or 6- 60 pound trout in one net and haul it up from 100' depth. Pyramid lake is all that's left today, Lahotan trout still get up to 20-30 pounds in the puddle that s left from of that massive pleistoscene lake, The Great Salt lake, and many other dry lakes in Nevada, S/E Oregon and Eastern California were all once a massive interconnected fresh water lake..
More amazing info on your area out there! That’s wild to think about how different the landscape was back then. It’s hard to wrap your mind around it. No doubt most parts of the world would be unrecognizable! I also find it amazing when artifacts are found so far off the coast. Like the artifacts found 60 miles off the coast of Chesapeake bay. Mind blowing!
Man, what a bonanza! Then finished off with a killer Scottsbluff.
The slate pieces are shaped just like net weights i find around here. Some i find are slate,seems they used what was handy here. Sandstone is more common then any.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the input buddy! Net weights have for sure gotten the most votes so far, and your input validates that even more so. I appreciate it!
Hey brother Just got to enjoy your video With some barbecue chicken wings Just got back from my run To Augusta More great finds You're going to help me stopping At every Creek And river On I 20 Ha ha Thanks again for all the inspiration Keep up the great work
Haha man I hope you made it home! If you stopped at every creek and river along the way, you might not have made it home yet! Thanks as always buddy!
Hello, you never surprise me, the finds are consistently outstanding! And another thought, now and in the preceding years the American worker for many reasons(a large debate, even daily)has got away from working with his or her hands,in the home and in the field. I look at the craftsmanship you display, and think a culture is only as successful when all participate in living with pride, developing a history that future generations wonder”they were a great people.”
Thanks buddy! I’d be happy to find anything here lately, quality or not! Haha I’ve had a bit of a dry spell here lately, but I managed to find enough for a video to come out this week. But agreed with your statement.. it’s been looked down upon for a while now, the notion that manual labor is to be looked down upon. When the livelihood of us all, including those who look down upon them, is reliant on their labors. The lives of the Native people were no doubt hard beyond most peoples belief, yet were able to accomplish so much as I can imagine with a smile on their face.
Super killers again!!! Love em all!! What are you calling that last point?? I’d say those chipped bow tie pieces are some type of net weights. The net weights we find here in PA on the Ohio are larger river cobble some are flat rock with just a chip off each side for tying material to, they didn’t spend much time making these but I have a large one in the shape of a bow tie about 8” long. Great saves as always!!!
Thanks buddy! Your net weight guess is in line with the consensus that has made a guess as to what it is. Thanks for the input! That last piece I’ve been calling an elk river. It’s flaking to me is a dead give away. But I’m sure if you asked 5 other people you’d get 4 different answers! Haha But geez man, that large weight you found sound impressive to say the least!
@@Points365 it’s just a rock, you save the most impressive artifacts!! I just feel compelled to tell you how much it moved me.. You are saving our history I can even put it into words but you know what I’m trying to say.
Great spot. The side notch ones might be net weights except for the use wear on one end. I think they are wood working tools including the one made from a spall. It also has damage on the base end. Also with the drill makes this probably a wood working site. In my opinion.
Thanks man, I appreciate the input! Interesting thoughts for sure. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
great finds as usual !
Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to come back and check it out!
Great finds as usual brother! I would lean towards net weights for a casting net. I get that same slate around here, and it's light enough and heavy enough to be used for net weights. Congrats and as always good luck on the next!
Thanks man! Most people by far have thought net weight, but until I read your comment, I really had trouble understanding how a light material such as slate would be used as a weight. But when you put it into perspective as a casting net where it had to be light enough to cast, yet heavy enough to sink a net, it finally made sense! Thanks for dumbing it down for me! Haha I appreciate the input and for you taking the time as always to check it out!
My bet is on net weights brother..
Thanks buddy! Net weights has by far gotten the most votes. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out and for your input!
You never disappoint man very nice a call every find a rescue 🔥. I think those rough artifacts are for fishing nets !!
Thanks as always buddy! I think you’re right with the net weight guess. That seems to be the consensus of most people that have had input on it. I appreciate it man!
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and I went on a short hunt the other day had some success I posted the video today 👍
Thanks again buddy! Hope you’ve been well.
Another great video Smiley.As far as I'm concerned you don't put on enough videos.I could watch them all day if I had the time.Keep up with the good head hunting.
Haha thanks buddy! Sorry for the belated response, I’m just now able to get back on here and respond to comments. I sure wish I could put out videos more often, but I can’t put them out faster then I can find stuff! It’s been slow here lately. It would help if I didn’t have to spend most of my week doing this thing called work! Haha maybe one day I can retire! Thanks again for checking out the video though buddy and hope all is well.
Smiley
Great saves as always bud..was the second one a corner tang knife or just the way the material was?I just don't understand how you keep your composure on some of those pulls. Keep on rocking and I'll keep on watching..
Thanks as always buddy! But you know, I actually didn’t notice that second piece having that corner notch like that. I had to go back and look at it… it sure enough looks like an intentional notch there. I don’t know if I would call it a corner tang or not, mainly because I’ve never found, or seen one found around here. I guess that’s why I didn’t even think to look at that. Interesting! Nice observation by the way man, thanks for pointing it out.
Sweet finds all around my friend, that drill was crazy looking, worked down on an angle like that. I'd like to find one of those long tails. I've never seen one around here like that. Congrats buddy good luck next time out.
Thanks man! I have quite a few with a seemingly long tail or base like that. I’m guessing they are probably adenas that were worn down due to resharpening. The base probably looked a little more proportional when it was full size.. if so I wish I could’ve seen it in all its glory! Haha thanks as always for checking it out buddy, hope all is well!
Do you ever find anything that’s not case worthy? 😆 Always impressed by your finds!
Haha oh yeah I do…. All the time! If it’s not frame worthy I just don’t share it. I feel like everyone expects the top notch stuff out of me these days, so I don’t want to let everyone down by sharing anything less than! Haha But man, my videos would be about an hour and a half long if I shared all the broken / un frame worthy artifacts. I have trouble keeping people interested in my 20 min videos! Thanks as always though buddy for taking the time to watch and comment of them, I really appreciate it!
Awesome finds man, stunners as usual , nice blades as well . Those pieces kinda look like slate or petrified wood . Maybe to be used as preforms . Really does resemble petrified pine bark . Thanks for sharing with us . Let us know what you figure out .
Thanks buddy! So fa net weights have gotten the most votes as far as the mystery pieces. I believe they are made of slate, which seems a little on the light side to be used as a weight, but I’m not the pro at identifying here… I just find the stuff! Haha thanks as always man!
👍😃🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏹
Since we live and hunt the same county i think it would be awesome to know if i know you, but i understand eitherway. I wont name the rest but i lived in jville and wavo for about 15yrs.. that looks like the duck
Although I have hunted those areas, I unfortunately don’t believe we’ve met. I grew up and live in Nashville. Rarely do I spend my time there other than for work and whatnot. The good times are had far from that place… not to mention the hunting is better! Haha Much luck on your future hunts and thanks for taking the time to reach out!
New sub ! Liked 👍❤️🙏😀
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out and comment. I typically try and put a video out every 2 weeks, given I have enough luck and finds to make a decent video… it’s been slow lately, but I should have a decent lineup for a video by next week! Thanks again!
The hourglass shaped may be banner stones? Nice finds regardless 😎
Thanks man! So far the majority of people seem to think net weights. I always assumed net weights would be made of a heavier material, but I’m not the pro here, I just find the stuff! Haha thanks for checking it out man!
Their must be a mine close by where they get this stone .
Sometimes these are made out of flint and a lot of times it's made out of sleep because of being a soft Stone but they are what we call up here in the North fishing net weights but if they had holes drilled in them it would be a bow tie gorget but since they don't it's fishing weights ✝️✝️✝️ and of course they are all close to water sources correctamundo 🙏🏻👍✝️✝️✝️
Thanks amigo! You’re right in line with what everyone else was thinking as well. I always appreciate your insightful input Jack.
.Wow man, amazing pieces. Here to the pieces that we find of slate, we call them laja stone. They are easy to chip. They appear to be splintered blades or axes. Incredible finds my friend.
Thanks for the input buddy! I appreciate you as always taking the time to watch and comment. Good luck out there!
Awesome hunts !!!! Awesome artifacts too !!!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Awesome video brother, what kind of camera do you use to film your finds?👍👍👍
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it as always! As far as the cam.. I just use the (now old) iPhone 11 Pro. I have the recording setting to record 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps). Keeps the video from being choppy. I also manually tap to refocus about every 3-5 seconds. It massively helps with keeping the artifact constantly in focus. Hope y’all have been well and no doubt wearing it out, out there! Haha
@@Points365 thanks for the info I’m using a iPhone 8s but upload to splice using 4K at 60 frames per second. It seems your video quality is better so I’d say it’s the phone for sure. The water has came up everywhere here so it will be around the end of August before we are able to hunt again 👍👍👍
Looks like ANCIENT USED UP TINY HATCHET.....
It does indeed look like one. The material it’s made of seems too soft for that use though. So far most people seem to think net weights. I can always count on the endless amount of knowledge people on here have in helping identify artifacts. Thanks for the input and as always for taking the time to check it out!
We're the odd shaped slate, preforms?
I’m not really sure what they are. I shared them hoping to get some thoughts on them. So far most people seem to think net weights. Thanks for checking it out man!
That was supposed to say slate ✝️✝️✝️
The look like they might have been wrapped and worn as jewelry?
That’s what I was thinking too, but most people so far seem to think net weight. Seems a little on the light side to be a weight, but I’m not the pro here! Thanks for the input.
What I question is, how did the ancient's not find this stuff too, and recycle them? How many Adena's started out life as a Clovis or a Dovetail?? you tell me..
Awesome finds bro.
Man you know they did find them! There’s no way they couldn’t have.. and unless they chose not to use artifacts they found due to some respect issue or something, i don’t see why they wouldn’t have used them as a nice starting point for the next tool to be made out of! Me personally… I would’ve been sporting a clovis I found as opposed to cranking out something new! Haha Thanks as always man!
Fantastic hunt! I never know how many trips that these videos represent, but you have a very high ratio of intact, high quality points in your area. The chipped slate pieces look like small chipped axes, similar to the "bowtie axes" found in Arkansas and SE Oklahoma.
Hey, check out my new vid when you get the chance!
Thanks as always buddy! Sorry for the belated response, I’m just now able to get back on here to read / respond to comments. Most videos usually consist of anywhere between 2-5 trips. I find a ton of broken artifacts. At least 5 every trip out and sometime 20+. I appreciate the input though man! Can’t wait to see the new (2 weeks ago) vid! Thanks as always buddy!
Don't think retirement is as good as it sounds, you spend more time and money going to the doctor ( almost) than you do hunting, unless of course you didn't smoke for 40 years, do drugs and drink alcohol, then you might have a better time. Good luck, oh yeah you always do!
