    Now THAT was an authentic surface arrowhead hunt! Museum quality points are rare that's why they mean so much when you find them. Enjoyed it!

      Thanks so much! You should find some real good ancient artifacts in the Carolina's. These dishwasher screens are on amazon. They are perfect to find metal detecting targets...and one will last you forever. The green one I am using in the most recent arrowhead videos i got on amazon. It is perfect. I like it much better than this brown one.

    I feel very lucky I work with a older gentleman at work and he have been collecting Arrowhead s for almost 50 years he just retired and he says to me I want you to have this map I made of the local river I couldn't believe my eyes it's all the places where he has been finding Arrowhead axes and tools the last 50 years and he said ohhh there is so much more to find I am just happy to give it to a guy that will take up where I stopped I seen his collection and he have hundreds and hundreds of point ,knives , pottery you name it I just can't wait to the water levels go down

    So do you have the different stages of an arrow head being made. Like what the Indians what have started with a core then maybe if it became broke or they decided not to continue with the piece because there is imperfections or an issue just kind a like what their thought processes were as they were creating these items so I have a better idea of when I’m looking at stuff maybe it will help me understand what they were doing

    Hey Rocks. I've been finding A LOT of big chunks of what looks like obsidian in numerous dif creeks here in Southeast Ohio. I don't think its obsidian there's just too much of it. Any ideas of what else it may be? It's def not hematite and far too heavy and solid to be coal. Some pieces are purple thru the light, others are green and tanish brown.

      I dunno....Lots of people disappear here. Wonder what happened to that guy who took the metal sifter to the dumps? And Sifted marbles? I think he just quit and deleted his channel.....I was bummed out about that. A lot of people quit here I think because people are idiots towards them. I had a few guys in Kentucky threaten me....try to run me out of here early on......most people are really cool and nice....some people are psychos.
      I cannot be intimidated.....not by anyone. Multiple people have tried to do that to me here....multiple...all out of jealousy. Id say it was something like that......if the channel disappeared.

    Another thing to remember is if they had an implement, blade, point, etc..that got damaged they likely would repurpose it instead of just throwing it down. And they would likley do it with the least amount of labor and time as possible. In other words it didnt always have to look perfect as long as it functioned.

    Hey all, please don't do this. The Archaeological Resource Protection Act allows collecting surface finds, but anything else is illegal and very serious. It's great that you're interested in history, but digging sites is really harmful to understanding the context of the artifacts. If you want to be a part of research, you can take GPS points when you find surface artifacts and share them with your local preservation agency. We're all on the same team here. : )

    • @KingOfCornchips
      @KingOfCornchips 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Do you get context out of river finds? They're washed away from their point of origin. Mostly useful for find numbers and types in general areas. But yes they should be recorded somewhere.

    • @hollis1996
      @hollis1996 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@KingOfCornchips That's a good question. I'm no specialist in river work, but my first thought it would be extra bad if they were eroding out of the bank. In that case, the context would still be there, and letting someone know about it would be more important. Then again, even something recovered from the river out of context could say things about what's upstream.

    • @KingOfCornchips
      @KingOfCornchips 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@hollis1996 I agree on the bank erosion yeah. Digging into the banks themselves is rather... amateur archaeology. I limit myself to surface finds and report what and where I find stuff. Unfortunately I doubt most artifact hunters care or understand a lot of the history of what they are finding. Or understand the importance of the location and context. (Not all obviously, some really knowledgeable guys and gals out there).

      I have to agree with Hollis. If you're using a shovel to dig out a fire pit, that is excavating an archaeological site and essentially destroying it. I'm super interested in prehistory and all this stuff too, but keep it within legal and ethical bounds please. You're literally erasing traces of history that could be recreated.
