Heck yeah! Looking forward to Spring already. Definitely a ton of variety in types and material. On a multi cultural site, you never know what you’ll find. Thanks for watching! Lots of great finds throughout our channel.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! We had a great Christmas, despite a knee surgery for me recently. Gotta get better to hit the fields asap…LOL. Hope you have a great New Year!
The slate piece at 8:03 is a celt preform. Found many of thoes, the piece at 10:30 is a slate celt. Rough but it's one. The one end is polished to a bit. The mark on it is a plow mark from being hit by the plow. Nice active spot you have there. Longevity of occupation there. Best of luck on your future hunts!
Thank you for the info! Definitely looks like a Celt preform….👍 I’ll be looking the smaller one over some more now. We’ve found numerous hard stone Celts out there over the years. It’s been a blessing to have access to this field for quite a few years. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always a pleasure watching you guy's have fun. Some beautiful material out there. Congrats on another Paleo piece. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Many blessings & Happy New Year.
Thank you as always! Been a crazy year and just hadn’t had the chance to get this video done until now. Sure wish that Paleo piece would have been whole! Would have been a big one!
Thank you Howard! Much appreciated buddy! It’s definitely been a challenging year for our family after this Spring. Glad we could put this one together and get it on before the New Year. Hope you have a great Holiday season!
Thank you very much! We certainly appreciate that! With the amount of No till happening, I’d take the plows broken points to have the chance at pulling up good ones still.
Thank you! Sure wish it was whole. Would have been a beast! We have been fortunate to have found a handful of them at that particular site. Hopefully more to come this season. Appreciate you watching.
I was just wondering the other day if you guys would have a video out at the end of the year. Looks like you dealt with the same issue we have here with everything in no-till or barely cultivated. But you still got some nice stuff.
@@historylooker7 Thanks, those suckers are heavy, they weigh about 250 lbs each. It is so much nicer to be able to see all my stuff without digging through boxes and bags.
It’s definitely been a challenging year for our family after this Spring. Glad to get out when we did and finally get this video put together. Unfortunately we are seeing more and more No till and Strip tilling here. It definitely makes things tough to say the least. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Best of luck to you this season! Hope you find some killer pieces. Always enjoy seeing your finds.
You ain’t kidding! It was quite a let down to see our best field in that condition this past season. We’ve been so very fortunate over the past few years to have great plowed conditions. Hopefully it’s not what’s to come.
Hoosier here,I hunt alot of fields in the northern corner of indiana almost into michigan,,had some nice finds this year.just curious what area are u having all ur finds?
That’s awesome! Glad you had some great finds! We hunt Northern a lot as well. We are from Michigan and hunt there as well. Significant difference in the amount of finds between states.
When we were kids we found a lot of early archaic and a few paleo artifacts in Pulaski and jasper counties . Do a lot of hunting at times in hamilton county now .
So it’s my opinion that the large white wonky blade, the big brown chert blade, the slate pieces, and the last white “scraper” you found at the end are all “historic” aged artifacts. I live in North Central Illinois near several historic Potawatomi sites where I find those same things. Depending where you are in Indiana; if you’re in the northern part, you may be hunting on old Potawatomi ground yourself. Great finds.
We hunt a lot Northern Indiana multi cultural sites so I’m sure we work a lot of Potawatomi ground. I’d bet you and I see a good amount of the same things from Illinois to Indy. Thanks for the info and watching. Very much appreciated. Best of luck this year……👍
I don’t seem to find as much banded slate as I do this solid gray slate. I have a few small pieces of banded slate with drilled holes in them. All broken however.
It definitely looks to be. A lot of cutting edge on that piece. It appears to have been re-worked by a later culture as well. Two spots are flaked with fresh patina.
Very cool! So many and varied artifacts and nice to see a bit of springtime in the bleak mid-winter.

@@artifactaddiction Yeah, broken pieces = broken hearts. And the material that one is was made of is beautiful.
Good to see you guys, even if your May film barely made it in 2024! Looks like a good yield of nice points and tools!
Thank you Howard! Much appreciated buddy! It’s definitely been a challenging year for our family after this Spring. Glad we could put this one together and get it on before the New Year. Hope you have a great Holiday season!
@@artifactaddiction Thanks and same back to you!
Great finds…I look forward to your videos….I like your style of narration….tough beating the plows to the full points…comes with the territory
Thank you very much! We certainly appreciate that! With the amount of No till happening, I’d take the plows broken points to have the chance at pulling up good ones still.
Sweet hi-lo ..nice finds
Thank you! Sure wish it was whole. Would have been a beast! We have been fortunate to have found a handful of them at that particular site. Hopefully more to come this season. Appreciate you watching.
Some very nice field finds, definitely enough ground there to keep y’all busy for awhile it looks like.
Thank you! It’s definitely kept us busy for quite a few years. Hopefully many more to come. Hard to beat a day out walking a great site.

Just wanted to mention how cool the cabinets were in your last video !!! ✌️

I bet so ...lol 👍

No till makes it tuff😢🏹

Do a lot of hunting at times in hamilton county now .
Nice! We hunt all around your old counties then. Indiana sure is rich with history! Hopefully Hamilton county treats you well now.
@@artifactaddiction found some good finds .

How in the world did you find a plowed field.
It's all no till in my southern Indiana county
Unfortunately there’s more and more No till happening up our way. There’s still a lot of plowed fields, but it’s changing…😢
Nice!! Subbed.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! We have a channel full of great finds!
What part of Indiana? Half mile from where I grew up my brother inlaw finds them quite a bit.
A lot of our finds are in North Central and Western Indiana. There is definitely a lot native history all across the state.
😎🏹🤘🎅🌲
Thank you! Always appreciated !
do you find banded glacial slate ?
I don’t seem to find as much banded slate as I do this solid gray slate. I have a few small pieces of banded slate with drilled holes in them. All broken however.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@artifactaddiction i find it in whirtewater river area
that first one was a knife
It definitely looks to be. A lot of cutting edge on that piece. It appears to have been re-worked by a later culture as well. Two spots are flaked with fresh patina.
Hey Mike, Would the Slate piece be a hoe?
I think the bigger slate piece was a Celt preform as someone suggested.
