Arrowhead hunting TN - Dovetails to Big Sandys and everything in between!

- It's been slow for the past month and a half, but I finally managed to find enough for a decent video! The first point up is one of my favorite point types. Dovetails have such a different base style, its hard not to love them! The point at the 6:00 min mark was found exactly below where I pulled the big red benton out of the dirt wall earlier this year. That little spot has been productive this year! The little multi use tool at 10:00 min is an interesting little piece. I had to turn the camera back on and resume recording, I stopped thinking it was broken piece! I've always liked the little repurposed tools. The blade at 13:10 is a beauty! There was a footprint from someone right on top of it. I guess it wasn't meant for them! The blade after that is a little beat up, but was made from some exceptionally pretty Dover flint that I thought was worth sharing. The last piece is a nice big sandy the washed out of the dirt wall with the spring rains we had. That spot has been a big producer for big Sandys and pine trees over the years. Maybe one day a Clovis or Cumberland will work its way out for me! Thanks for watching! Please subscribe to keep up with my upcoming videos.

As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Always a pleasure buddy! Hope you’ve been well.
Dogoneit... you are going to make me get out in this heat and look for points
Haha hey man, if you don’t get out and find em someone else will! That’s what keeps me up at night… wondering what I’m missing out on! Haha
Great finds once again! That Dove at the beginning and the side notch at the end are showstoppers! Cool to see you had some luck in the corn field too. Thanks for sharing and have a great Summer!
Thanks as always buddy! Dovetails have to be one of the more eye pleasing point types. I don’t find enough of them! Haha thanks as always for taking the time to comment and check out the new round of finds!
@@Points365 I sent the link but I don’t see it…the one entitled oh my gosh…
Some killer finds my friend! We enjoyed watching and can’t wait to see your next adventure. Happy Hunting my friend!
Thanks as always buddy! It’s been pretty slow for me here over the past couple months or so. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to put out a solid upload! Thanks for checking it out and best of luck to y’all!
Lots of eye candy in this video. Makes me hungry to find something good. Thanks for sharing your finds.
Always a pleasure buddy! Has the lack of rains up your way been as hard in your hunting as it has been mine?! I’m about to start walking around with a watering bucket! Haha
@@Points365 We get the tenths and everyone around us gets inches of rain. Pretty dry in Central KY.
Always thrilling to see things that have been hidden for so long!
Thank you! For sharing with us!
Always a please Unky D! Hope y’all are doing well down there in paradise.🙂
.Wow wow, these were all great finds my friend. Greetings and the best for you.
Hey buddy! Thanks as always. Hope you have been well!
So good to see you back Smiley.I'm a 69 year old grandmother that has arrow head hunted over twenty years and have found some nice points.But moved from Texas to Georgia and now I have no one to go hunt with so I just set in my recliner and watch you do it .Brings back the good old days.Love you're videos keep up the great work.See you back on real soon. I hope.
Thanks! I was having a heck of a dry spell over the past month or so. I thought I was going to have to hang up my boots for good! Haha I finally managed to find enough to put together a decent video. They sure pull some nice and crazy looking pieces in TX. I’d love to give hunting down there a whirl! I bet you have some nice pieces in your collection. What part of GA did you move to?
@@Points365 I'm in north Georgia .It's real hilly and beautiful but a lot of Black Bears and lord knows what else.So I'm not going to attempt to go alone.😟 Thanks for your reply.Looking forward to your next video. And yes I found a cash of 15 blades that arrange in size of 8 inches down to 5 inches my pride and joy.
Started with a bang ended with one too. Awesome recoveries my friend.
In classic Points 365 fashion! Haha one of these days I’m gonna smack the killers right in the middle and throw you all for a loop! Hope you’ve been well buddy and as always, thanks for your time!
Beautiful finds brother. Good stuff😎
Thanks man, as always i appreciate your time checking out and commenting!
Your videos never disappoint...stellar finds once again....keep rockin brother
Thanks man! It was a slow go for me in June. I managed to scrape by and find enough to put together a decent video! I appreciate the comment and you taking the time to check it out!
Breathtaking points. OMG!
Thanks man! Hope you have some good luck if you get out there after some!
Smoker right out the gate! That first point would be anybodys year maker down here, and where you are, its just another common find for ya. 😃 just awesome man!
Haha man I wouldn’t say it’s just another common one! You know me though… I like to start off and end my videos big! Haha But the dovetails are a nice looking point. I wish I found more of em! Thanks again buddy for always taking the time to watch and comment! Good luck out there!
Great to see some nice finds coming up
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Man, you always show us the GOOD stuff!
Thanks man! I show it if I can find it! It’s been SO SLOW here for the past couple months. If this keeps up I might have to start metal detecting. Or even worse… the dreaded “honey do” list! Haha
You never fail to find some smokers man!! Enjoy your channel 🔥
Thanks buddy! It’s been slow going over the past month or 2.. I finally found enough artifacts to make a decent video! Hopefully the artifacts will keep coming so I can keep the videos coming. I appreciate you always taking the time to check out the finds!
Awesome recovery’s thanks for sharing. Keep looking there are plenty more out there!!!
Thanks man, it’s a pleasure sharing with everyone. I have a week off work coming up. I plan on spending the entire week looking! Hopefully I’ll come home with more than a couple! Hah thanks for taking the time to check out the new finds though buddy.
Congratulations!! Hard work pays off!! They are all beautiful! But that dovetail is lovely! I do not find them were I live. That blade is a beauty to. Love your videos! Take care and happy hunting.
Thank you! The dovetails are some fine looking pieces. I don’t find many of them.. whole ones at least. I’m sure proud of the ones I do find though! Thanks again for the comment and for checking out the finds!
Man I just got to say it, your the big show, always bringing to us wonderful artifacts, thanks it's much appreciated 👍🏹
Haha thanks man.. you know how it is though. The grass is always greener on the other side! I look at other people and think the same thing about them! But either way, people like us are gonna be out there no matter what. Finding something… anything.. is just a bonus! I’m glad to share the finds though, and appreciate you checking them out!
Awesome projectile points and tools as usual! It’s been a great year for me as well I have found amazing corner Notch Kirks and chipped axes, also found a almost perfect Hardaway side notched cow head in a new location! Artifact hunts are so exciting!! I also found a small Palmer that was so perfect it almost stopped my heart!
Thanks man! But dude, don’t you love discovering new sites?! Especially if you’re the only person that knows about it! It’s mind blowing to think of how many undiscovered spots there are out there too. Glad you’ve been on em though man! Palmers are sweet little points! Congrats on your finds!
Life in the raw, not so much frills just every day life, living/utilizing what the earth will give you. The beautiful picture becomes evident in a native society, thanks 🙏
And the things they were able to produce from what nature gave them.. it’s incredible really! It blows my mind when people aren’t interested in it.
Nice. The big sandy looks well made.
Thanks man! It seems like the old stuff is usually well crafted. I’m always excited to add another quality piece to the collection! Thanks again for checking it out buddy.
Those are all awesome finds! Love those big Sandys!
Thanks buddy! For some reason I’m on the big sandys more so than any other point type it seems. I’m not complaining by any means! Haha Thanks for coming back to check out the new round of finds man!
That Tennessee mud is something. Sticky. It's broken down limestone. Nice points.
It’s no joke for sure! It’ll just about suck the boot off your foot if you’re not careful. I’ve seen a few abandoned boots in the mud in my day! Haha I always chuckle thinking about the day that poor guy that was so defeated, he just had to leave his boot behind and walk home… head hung low… with one boot on!
Killer points brother always a bonus when you post a video. God bless
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Hope y’all have been doing well and are having some good luck out there!
Love your uploads man! Killing it as usual. Good work
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! It’s been so slow for me here lately. Hopefully I’ll get a good upload in soon! Thanks for checking it out!
Some really nice finds there!
Thanks man! I appreciate the comment and you taking the time to check it out!
I like your new intro much more. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you! The beauty of nature provides some amazing views. If only the beauty could be captured in its fullest through pictures / video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I didn't know a channel like this existed. I live in WA state haven't been hunting for many years now...used to do so mostly along the banks of the Columbia River...now the banks are either off limits or full of garbage, glass, and needles. I'm so thankful I got to be out there before it got so bad. I have to share the story of my first find. I was not into hunting, my husband was. We went to Wenatchee (home of the Smithsonian apple orchard Clovis cache) so he could hunt with my aunt who was also into it. My husband picked up an elk point out in the dry area, and even my uncle who wasn't a hunter found one, lol. I was bored to tears and when we finally went to the river I was so glad. It was hotter than hades out. I separated from everyone and went to dangle my feet in the water near some gigantic rocks... I was being goofy pretending I was an Indian maiden, talking to the spirits about Indian maiden stuff, just dragging my fingers through the gravel...then I bumped into something immovable, which I grabbed onto and pulled straight up from the ground...it measures about 5" in length. I believe it's a broken spearpoint, broken perhaps in an attempt to spear a fish. From what I've learned, it might be along the lines of 4-6000 years old...certainly not Clovis. I reported it right away to Olympia just in case...we had heard of others getting in trouble, etc. Anyway, it was fine to keep. The best part of that find was the look on my family's faces when it was me that found it...could have pushed them over with a feather. I got the bug and found many more small ones in the years to follow, but boy that was a fun one. Thanks for reminding me of how great it is to ponder history and discover it for ourselves.
Haha that story is too funny! But they shouldn’t have been surprised… it seems to always happen that way. The person that is least likely to make a find, is the one that makes the best find! It’s funny how people who aren’t really into hunting for artifacts will be whistling a different tune after finding one themselves! That’s how it was for me too. I knew they existed. I knew people found them. But when you find your own, it’s just different! Then when you start learning about their history and realize “wow, there were people here 6,000 years ago. Right here in what I call my back yard!” It really puts things into a different perspective. Thanks for sharing that story. It was so funny I had to read it again out loud to share with someone! Thanks for checking out the vid too!
You’re killing me!
Haha sorry buddy! Maybe it’ll be good motivation for you?! Either way, hope you have some luck out there!
Man another great video with awesome artifacts! 👍🏻👍🏻
They sure made a beautiful dovetail with some faulty looking material… Thanks for taking us along and showcasing those beautiful artifacts!!
Thanks buddy! I’m glad you enjoyed. I’m always glad to share the finds with everyone. Agreed on the dovetail though. That point type is just a visually appealing type. It’s hard for one to look bad to me! Haha Thanks as always for the kind words and for taking the time to check out the finds!
Very nice ! You always succeed in making me envious of your “honey holes” !
Hah thanks as always! Hopefully it’s a good envious.. the kind that gets you out there excited to find your own stuff to make me envious about! Haha thanks again!
Always just super saves!!! That first point was so close to being lost forever, lucky you happen by when ya did!!
Thanks man! But agreed… so many of the artifacts I find are on the verge of being lost again! Makes me drool thinking about what’s laying in the depths of these rivers and lakes!
Beauty of a dovetail. Some other great finds too. Congratulations.
Thanks man! I wish dovetails were more abundant. They are a unique and beautiful looking point type! Thanks as always buddy!
Museum pieces just simply great quality of artifacts 👍👍👍
Thanks man, as always I appreciate your comment and taking the time to check it out!
Awesome man , several smokers in there ! Killer artifacts! Thanks for sharing with us man .
Always a pleasure buddy! Thanks for coming back to check out the new round of finds!
beautiful corner notch dovetail ✝️✝️✝️
Thanks buddy! Looked so good sticking out of that mud!
Another great set of artifacts pulled out the Tennessee mud. I was blessed with pulling a Clovis out of my creek.. blessings
Thank you buddy! But oh my goodness… the holy grail of artifacts! That’s a moment you will never forget for the rest of your life no doubt!
@@Points365 by chance did you watch the video?
The one from 2 weeks ago? If so, I pulled it up earlier and have it ready to go. Im going to check it out here later when I get off work. Looks like a little beauty if it’s the one o saw in the thumbnail!

That clickbait! Haha Thanks though buddy, I appreciate you checking it out!
Hey Points 365. We need another video to get our fix. Hope you are still hunting points, enjoy your channel.
Oh yeah… I’m still out there hunting! It seems that everyone else on this side of the MS river has come out of the woodwork and is out hunting points as well as all I seem to find here lately is footprints. I still find a few, but these people that hunt now apparently don’t have jobs. It’s hard to compete with that! They better look out when I retire, that’s all I’ve got to say! Haha
@@Points365 Good hope you retire soon. Yea too many people don't care to work. I am retired but worked my butt off my whole life so i could pay the bills and eat. Good luck hunting those great looking points. I believe you find some of the best around.
One of the prettiest rocks I’ve ever seen
Thanks so much! There are plenty of pretty and well crafted rocks out there to be found. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
My goodness 😳 awesome 👌
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you coming back to check it out!
@@Points365 Always a pleasure to watch 👍
I love those hafted scrapers it shows that they utilized a broken Arrowhead to make a scraper the process clothing ✝️✝️✝️
Either that, or used for scaling fish. Would be my guess.
@@moemuggy4971 like I said a scraper ✝️✝️✝️
Absolute Banger!!! 😎🏹
Great finds. Especially preform at 1336. Good indicator for future finds. Be safe
Thanks man! Yeah the spot I found that preform is one of my honey holes! It’s been a big producer for me over the years. You cant really tell in the vid, but there was someone else’s footprint right on top of that piece! Haha so glad there were in too big of a hurry to look thoroughly!
More awesome stuff my friend! As always, enjoy the videos! Lol, I thought you got lost on the river , cause I haven’t seen a video in a couple of weeks . Just kidding! Thanks for sharing as always!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! But man.. I was starting to think I was never gonna find another artifact again! Haha it’s been so slow for me here recently, I was struggling to find enough artifacts to make a decent video. I finally scrounged enough together though! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, and for being concerned about my well being! Haha
Killer finds brother, alot of blades left out this time. Some awesome points buddy congrats
Thanks as always man! The blades are piling up on me over here! Haha I’ve long been out of space for the larger artifacts. I have to rotate them every now and then to give them all equal case time! Haha Hope you’ve been well man, and thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds!
@@Points365 What does one hunter expect to sell any of his artifacts for to a buyer of all kinds of artifacts ?
Man I wouldn’t have the slightest clue to be honest with you? I’ve never bought or sold an artifact. The stuff I find is too priceless to me, knowing the hours, and sweat put into finding them! I have a few pieces I’ve been offered quite a bit for. $20k for one group of finds in particular.. aka a cache. Even if I was offered double that for them I still couldn’t take the offer. I’m just that attached to my finds! Haha
I love how the cortex on the end is showing on that blade ✝️✝️✝️
Someday... he's gonna find something so awesome he talks.
I don’t know man… I’m pretty set in my ways! Haha like I was telling someone not long ago, I have a tendency to hold my breath when pulling artifacts. Not sure why I do that other than excitement. If anything I’ll pass out and fall face first in the mud if it’s something really crazy! Haha On the other hand, I also enjoy going back and watching my videos just hearing the sounds of nature in the background as opposed to me yapping!
I’d love to find something like that dove! We don’t have that here in wake county, NC. How do you not scream out loud when you find these!? Awesome finds. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t find many dovetails, and I definitely wish I found more! They are very pleasing to the eye for sure. But it’s not that I don’t want to holler, I for sure do when the cam goes off almost every time! Haha But I’ve always enjoyed going back and watching my videos without hearing myself and just the sounds of nature. Just a personal preference! Thanks for the comment buddy and for taking the time to check it out!
I found a dovetail in Creedmore near Beaver Dam,very rare around here!
@@kingfishone2345 wow!!
@@sherwoodfamilyrelichunters5061 The great north south trading path ran through N Wake county,kind of followed I 85
@@kingfishone2345 yeah I’ve been thinking of going over toward Durham, closer to I85 to see what I can find… I’ve heard Falls Lake is a good spot.
Sweet as always!!! You think that last one is a greenbriar bud!?! Those notches are pretty low on that base…can’t believe all the chert rock at that one spot, that makes my palms sweaty seeing all that good rock!! Looks a lot nicer than the chert I find around Nashville…
Man there are some spots that have so much flint, it really does make me feel like a kid at an Easter egg hunt! Haha But ya know.. I’m admittedly not the best at point id’ing, but I was thinking big sandy on that last one. I can def see the greenbrier in it, but seems like the greenbriers that I find at least usually have some serrations on them. Nash has some good stuff though man! I’ve got lots of nice stuff pulled from there. That’s where I’ve lived my whole life. It pains me to think of what’s underneath all of the development going on.
@@Points365 No doubt bro, there is some beautiful stuff buried that will never be seen…I’m working on borrowing a boat for a day to head out to fill my buckets for flint knapping and can’t wait!! Would love to knap some Dover and the patitinated buffalo river…I’ve heard they knap wonderfully and why the natives used it so much… peace homie!!!
Looks like the multi-use is a broke point turned hafted or thumb scraper I have a couple just like that. Also, are those big blades knives or trade blanks (preforms)? Always wondered about that and can't wait till I find one. Keep 'em coming! Found a couple treats myself this weekend, so not as jealous of you at the moment, but that is likely to fade away. LOVE IT DUDE
Thanks again buddy! I personally think the big piece in question is a blade. But that’s just my opinion. Either way I was excited to find it! The repurposed pieces are always interesting as well, seeing the specialty tools they created, and wondering what they might be used for. Glad you’ve been having some good luck though man! Thanks as always for taking the time to check out the finds!
I have a celt/ adez i found in s creek just identical to the one you fourn at 9.01.
I still haven’t decided what I really think that thing is.. I have about a dozen of so all shaped similar to that varying in sizes to a little smaller, to quite a bit larger. One thing all mine have in common is the indentions where the hafting was, it’s flat on one side, and the cortex is always still on the butt end of it. A couple of mine have somewhat of a polish on the bit end, which makes me think it was used maybe as a hoe. But I guess being used as an adze could maybe put a polish on it too?
👍👍
Thanks as always for taking the time to check out the new round of finds!
Everything u fined is always complete makes me question all of this 🤔
Haven’t we been over this before?! Or was it someone else? I just don’t show the broke pieces typically, unless it’s exceptional in some way. You’re more than welcome to come rummage through my boxes and boxes…. And boxes of broken artifacts if it’ll give you some closure!
One thing for sure don’t many people hunt where you do because you find some killer points on a regurler bassis knock em down becareful on the water talk to you later
There is a fair amount of people that hunt most areas I frequent. But even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every now and then! Haha thanks again though buddy. I appreciate you coming back to check out the new round of finds!
impact fractures make for nice scraper knives ✝️✝️✝️
What do you call that last side-notch dart point in your neighborhood? Is it still called a Robinson?.. I've heard others call them a Raddatz, Godar, or a Hickory ridge also. But in my opinion, those are always a bit bigger and broader, with deeper notches. The Robinsons always look like the same dude made them. The thinning strikes at the base are a dead give away. I got one just like it in my case. Just made of different material.
I was thinking big sandy on that last one… but that tends to be a catch all type for me when they have that style. Like if I found a Robinson… I’d probably call that bad boy a big sandy too! Haha
@@Points365 Definitely not a big sandy imo. BS's always look like exhausted Graham caves to me. Big Sandy's and Graham caves are supposed to overlap the Dalton tradition. You can tell by their more concave or "incurvate" base. I think these (what I call a Robinson) come much later. More towards the end of the archaic. The literature just needs to be updated. Robinsons are supposedly out of your area, but just one state over in Missouri, they're all over the ground like pecans.
But I guess since the little fella is homeless according to the text books, we can call him a big sandy. He is in fact from the same family tree. Just old uncle Sandy's great, great nephew.. haha! or, how about just "Late Archaic Side-Notch?"
👀👀👀
I love the things you find but you think you could explain a little about what your finding? Like maybe say a little something?
Just because I find the stuff doesn’t mean I know what I’m finding! I could take a stab at it, but I’d possibly be wrong, and for sure be corrected in the rudest way by some on here. So instead of that, I keep quiet and let the sounds of nature be the background noise! Besides, I much more enjoy going back and watching my finds without hearing myself talk! Haha
No one can truly say with 100% certainty because we were not there in the time and location these were made, humans tend to make educated guesses and put labels on everything! All we can do is classify them to the best of our knowledge which truly is not that much! Some men are boastful and think they know more than others but what it is it’s all truly a guess and general classification!
that is one beautiful knife or it could be a preform to make a spear point ✝️✝️✝️
I’m thinking it’s hornstone maybe? I find that often, and the typically have the bullseye pattern on them. Looks good in the case for sure!
Where can I get access to hunt? Anywhere left?
Lots of places just think outside the box as far as public access or public land goes especially river bank/creek gravel bars are perfect so the sky is the limit !!! Here's a hint public state wildlife/game preserves instead of wildlife hunting just hunt for artifacts !!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 Hey! Great idea! Thanks!
Sorry for the belated response… but agreed on what Jeffrey said. Just about any creek has potential. Especially if it’s a creek that never runs dry. You’d be surprised how much gets turned out of the ground when the are bulldozing to build a new subdivision or something as well!
