Arrowhead hunting TN - Masterpiece of a motley along with 12 other fine TN artifacts!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2022
- My first vacation of the year was a staycation. The majority of these finds were from that week of mostly hunting. The pine tree at the beginning of the video has become one of my new favorite little go to spots. its never produced anything newer than early archaic, and only couple transitional pieces. its an old site for sure. The motley at the end was found at the last spot after a long day of hunting. I almost didn't hunt that spot, but figured I might as well hit up one more spot before heading home. Best decision I made that whole week! Thanks for checking out the newest video. Please like and subscribe to keep up with my regularly uploaded videos.
Awesome saves !!! Love watching your videos when we can’t get out to hunt !!
Thanks buddy, and I appreciate you taking the time to check out the finds when you can! Good luck out there man!
Unreal as usual 1st and last show show stoppers!!!! Great job thanks as always for sharing!
Thanks buddy! I always like to start videos off with a good one, and end with one of equal or greater quality! One of these days I’m gonna put all the good ones in the middle and throw everyone off! Haha thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds!
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks buddy, and as always I appreciate you checking it out! Good luck out there!
That last one is unreal. Great finds.
Thanks buddy! There was a decent size landslide there with the last flood event we had. I’m excited to see what comes out of it for the next few years!
Incredible finds love this Channel
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
great finds guys,love that they are surface finds !
Thanks man! That’s how I like to recover them.. as they slowly reveal themselves! It pains me to think of some of these artifacts being washed away into the murky depths of the water had I, or someone else not walked by and picked it up. Although some would argue that they be left alone to just wash away. Ouch.. I just can’t! Haha thanks for checking it out!
Killing it as usual! Good work man!
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Awesome video as always. You really make Thursday night drinking in the garage fun.
Haha thanks buddy! I’m sure it’s a blast already! I need to venture up your way with my cooler in tow sometime! It’s been a crazy April and May for hunting down here. Been so busy hunting I haven’t had time to make a new video. A new one is finally coming out tomorrow of more April finds, so load up the fridge!
Awesome points as always my friend! Nice bottle too.
Thanks man! I’m glad I could share them with you all, and appreciate you checking it out!
Amazing last piece....
Thanks man! I’ve always like the shape of those motley’s. The curve they have in the basal area is visually appealing to ones eye. Thanks again for coming back to check out the new finds!
Thanks for the trip. The points are very nice....a location with paleo and early archaic would be my favorite spot for sure.
Thanks buddy! The areas that produce the high quality pieces of the archaic and older seem to be everyone else’s favorite places to hunt as well. It gets hunted pretty hard. But I just get out there on my off days, looking around in peoples footprints, and come up with one every now and then! It’s crazy to see the pieces some people walk right past! I pulled a 4” blade last wknd that was less than 6” from someone’s footprint. Haha No telling what’s been pulled out of my footprints over the years! Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment buddy!
Excellent finds that first one and the last one are wicked ✌️💚🍄
Sorry for the belated response, but thanks so much! I always like to start off and end the video with the showcase pieces. Maybe I’ll throw everyone off by putting them in the middle of the video sometime! Hah Thanks again for taking the time to check it out!
Wow!! Beautiful Artifact overload!!! And I love the old bottle also!! Thats what I would call a good day. Always enjoy your videos. Take care and happy hunting.
Thanks Norma! April was a crazy month for artifacts. I’m so behind on responding to the comments, and behind on making new videos. There’s been too much hunting going on! Hah But I finally made a new video to come out tomorrow! I always enjoy finding the random artifacts like bottles and whatnot. It makes it a little more interesting out there never knowing what you’re going to come upon! Thanks again and as always for the comments and for checking out the finds!
Wow that last one is a SMOKER !!!
Thanks man! The shape of Motley’s have always appealed to me. The curvature of that base just has a neat look to it. Thanks for checking it out!
Always enjoy your videos sir....your collection must be incredible...
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you checking them out! But I’d say my collection was decent. I’ve seen far more impressive collections for sure! I don’t have a lot of space to display my finds though, so having so many neatly laid out in a relatively small area probably makes it seem unimpressive. If they were all framed, I could probably fill every wall of the house up for sure! Haha
@@Points365 ...I bet you could....lol....I've been collecting from local farm fields in western maryland....southern PA & N. West Virginia....for about 24 years now....just one of those river Bank finds would make my year. Lol.
Beauts all around.😁👍thanks for sharing
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you coming back to check out the new round of finds! Good luck out there!
Hey old buddy! Tremendous video, we are thankful for what you bring us! Good luck and God bless ya on your hunts brother!
Thanks man! It a pleasure to share my finds and am glad you enjoy. Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment!
Thanks for another amazing video.Great finds.Appreciate your efforts.That place is loaded with artifacts.Alot has already eroded down from that high bank.🌲🦃🦌💯🇺🇸🗽
Thanks buddy! The area is loaded, and I also cover more miles than I can count in a months time! I stay on it for sure. But man I know.. it kills me to think about what all has eroded out of those banks and found it’s way to the bottom of the river or lake. Nightmare worthy! Haha thanks as always for taking the time to check it out!
Really enjoy your archaic & earlier finds, the Alpha/Omega / the first & the last. Your style of presentation makes for a nice visual delivery great to hear the birds & the water, and not a bunch of shoveling, sifting & hooting & yelling every time something is found.. The serrated tool at 9:35 is interesting, the butt end having the fine serrations which look to diminish towards the point, like a repurposed well worn unit made into a small finger saw/ awl /perforator/multi tool, same goes for the piece at 15:00 broken tip re- worked & carefully beveled like a small mini adze & the thicker ears suggest use as a small spokeshave for finer work.Where i live I've seen local Paiute/Shoshone basket makers use points with different sized ears, used like a draw knife/ spoke shave to render long thin strips off of small green branches from rose hips, willow & other plants in weaving their baskets & their favorite eared points/ spokeshaves always seems to have a broken ear from use. anyway another fine Video,, I can't wait to Visit S/W Tennessee to see my Daughter and Grandbaby & hopefully walk some creeks & river shorelines at low tide..
Thanks man, I appreciate it as always. But that piece at the 9:35 mark you mentioned.. I thought it was interesting how the finer serrations were at the base of that tool. I found that interesting myself. So many of these pieces we find often leave more questions than answers. Speculation is all we have it seems!
SW TN is indeed a hotspot! Every creek down that way just looks like it has the potential the be loaded! Thanks again for the comment and taking the time to check it out.
The last point is a smoker! Congratulations!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you checking it out!
Beautiful pine tree ✝️✝️✝️
Thanks buddy! It’s the 3rd line I’ve found in that 15’ stretch of bank in the last 6 months. The first artifact in my next video coming out this Thursday was found in literally the exact same spot. It’s fluted, but I’m not really sure what type of point it is? Hope you can check it out… and maybe ID it for me!
beautiful pinetree
Thank you! That spot that I found it at has over the past 6 months, become one of my big producers of archaic and older pieces. In my next video, there will be a little fluted piece in it that I found there. I’m not really sure what type it is? It has a greenbrier look to it, but I don’t know if they would have fluting on them? I’m sure someone will chime in and help me out in identifying it! Thanks as always for watching!
Amazing stuff
Thanks again man!
Great finds once again. You are in some hot spots to say the least. Keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it as always and best of luck out there!
I love the Motley! Fine point! You have some awesome sites man!
Thanks buddy. I’ve always liked the curvature of the motley’s… but then again there’s something I like about all the artifacts! Haha thanks as always for taking the time to check it out!
Now that's what I call a classic pine tree ✝️✝️✝️🎄
Absolutely incredible video! Your camera is amazing with tha sun shining! Take care of that thumb.
Haha thanks buddy! The thumb was a victim of the briars I climb through. Good as new now! But man I get a lot of comments and question on the camera I use. It’s just an iPhone 11. I did change my recording settings to the highest level to produce crisp, clear videos. I also tap the screen to keep things in focus every few seconds. I think it makes a difference! Thanks again for checking it out and taking the time to comment!
No doubt an Awesome April for you, enjoyed the video as always, such amazing detail, enjoyed the old bottle as well, got a collection of the old corkers myself. Can hardly wait for the May edition, happy hunting till then, stay safe and God bless !!!
Thanks buddy! It’s been a jam packed April for sure, both with hunting and the inevitable amount of work that comes along with warmer weather! I’m behind on my videos, but plan on getting back to releasing some. I still have a video or 2 worth of April / early May finds. I’ve got some goodies lined up too! Thanks for the comment and for checking it out!
Killer finds buddy!! Your videos never disappoint!! All beautiful finds but that’s as fine a Motley as I’ve seen!! 👍🏻😎
Thanks man! The motley’s have always been one of my many fav point types. The curvature on them is so visually appealing! Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment!
Another group of awesome points. Well done sir. Nice score on the old bottle too. I like finding those as well.
Thanks buddy! I always keep an eye out for the unusual or unexpected finds. You literally never know what you’ll find when out on the hunt! It also make for quite the conversation pieces when people see the displays of all the random artifacts from the ancient to the present! Haha thanks again for coming back to check out the finds buddy!
@@Points365 Thats no kiddin. I found the top of a Mississippian period water vessel the other day. Im still in shock from it.
As usual.. Nice finds!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it as always!
What a Motley! Size and craftsmanship is spectacular. I have a few, but nothing anywhere near close to that size. That toothy Pine was a beauty too! Always a pleasure seeing your vids and all your finds. Stay at it and best of luck the rest of the Spring!
Thanks y’all! The motley’s do have a nice curvature to them. It’s always been one of my many fav point types. Too many to have a single favorite… except maybe a big old fluted cumberland. Sigh…. Maybe one day I’ll stub my toe on one! Haha
Another all star lineup!!The pine tree and the motley are SMOKERS!🔥🔥Great video as always!
Man, I think you could pick up a stick, or a mudball, or even a coon turd and showcase it like a million bucks!!🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man! Haha I see plenty of coon turds… maybe I’ll showcase one in my vid sometime!🤣 Thanks again though buddy, I appreciate it!
Awesome 👌
Killer points 👏 Bottle would look good filled with flakes...
Thanks buddy! I have it sitting on my kitchen table currently. It gets a flower stuck in it every now and then. I have a few old jars filled with broken pieces back in the day. Now it’s a few boxes full! Haha thanks for checking it out man!
I love how symmetrical these pine trees are ✝️✝️✝️
Indeed, it took a skilled craftsman to make such a piece.
Those are nice finds! I live just a few minutes from Cherokee Lake in TN but have never been arrow head hunting when the lake is down just for that reason. Usually just fishing. My dad who's now passed has a nice collection of them though as well as some mini-balls. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy! I used to be a real big fisherman… until I got hooked on this hobby! Nowadays when I fish, I can’t help but peer over on the bank to see if I can spot one laying out there in the open. You’d be surprised how many of them are just laying right out in the open! I’ve never hunted that area out your way. It’s no doubt a decent spot if that’s where your father made his finds! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment man!
Have a few spots here in Northern Kentucky along the Ohio river that is similar sand and mud banks and produces bunch of nice stuff . .Great Job there in Tennessee!!!
Whew… they say the grass is always greener on the other side. You boys up in KY sure make it seem that way! Haha y’all pull some incredible stuff up there. Action Jackson artifacts, is a KY guy. He has some incredible artifacts! Thanks though buddy, I appreciate the comment and you taking the time to check it out!
Awesome finds brother, the first and last are stellar. Congrats on all the finds. Good luck next time out
Thanks again buddy! I need to mix it up a little and cram the highlight finds in the middle of the video instead of first and last! They’d probably get skipped of if I did that though! Haha thanks as always man!
Im not complaining brother, it was a great video. Can't wait for the next
As always killer’s on top of killer’s congrats brother. God bless
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you as always taking the time to check out the finds!
oh wow!!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Man I won’t lie! I Love the fact that I can watch you pull some killers and still listen to them red winged black birds fussing in the background! As Always , GREAT.....
Haha thanks man! I’m quite the bird man myself. I always enjoy the abundance of birds and their calls this time of year. I pulled a nice elk River the other week, and in the background of that video you’ll hear the deafening sound of a prothonotary warbler. Haha those are some of my favorite little migratory birds. I’ve almost got their call down pat. I can whistle it, and one will fly down in the trees / brush right by me to investigate the intruder. Haha Being able to experience nature like that is rewarding enough. Finding artifacts along with it is just an added bonus! Thanks again for checking it out buddy!
The quiet and peacefulness where you hunt is incredible - plus incredible finds!
Thanks man! But agreed, peaceful places are hard to find these days. Getting to enjoy that is another main reason I enjoy this hobby!
I e always enjoyed this channel. I just started uploading some of my finds, but I won't ever come close to the quality stuff you find. As always, I enjoyed your video. Happy hunting and hope May treats you well.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I’ll look it up!
.Wow my friend, this hunt was divine, hardly repeated with so many fine and beautiful finds. It is the dream of every hunter to go out empty-handed and return with hands full of treasures like these. Incredible Cceria, congratulations and blessings always.
Thanks buddy! Indeed it is the dream to come back with as many finds as we do. A dream you get to live yourself! We are both lucky my friend!
Congratulations man always bringing the killers.
Thanks buddy! It’s a time consuming hobby. Now that the grass growing is in full swing, it’s seriously cutting into my hunting time. Maybe I’ll just let it go all year and give it a good bush hogging at the end of the year! Haha Thanks again man!
Thanks for sharing everything about the way that you shoot these videos is perfect I like that you do not give commentary. the money shot at the end of each point find is perfect . You show every angle even a cross-section view from the front you do a great job again thanks for sharing 10 thumbs up
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I try and keep the videos 100% focused on the artifacts, showing them as best I can. Thank you for the comment, support, and for taking the time to watch!
Bastard!!, good finds man! Love it!
I’ve never said thanks to someone calling me that, but I’ll take it as a compliment and wear it as a badge of honor in this case! So thank you! Haha I appreciate you checking out the finds man!
@@Points365 there are hunters, and there are finders, you my friend are a finder!, bless you, keep that love alive, and I'll be watchin! From idaho!
👍👍👍
Thanks as always buddy!
Wow , you’ve got an incredible area to hunt ! Beautiful finds !!
Thanks man! I have to cover some serious ground in my hunts, but it pays off every now and then! Maybe one day I’ll retire… then I’ll really crank it up! Haha thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment!
The first point shown in the video is a show stopper , absolutely awesome . The last point is no less impressive , thanks so much for sharing these artifacts with us ! 😎👍
Thanks so much! The pine tree at the beginning of the video was found at a spot that has only relatively recently started producing artifacts. I’ve hunted it for years with little to no luck. I’d say I’ve found more there in the past 6 months than I have in the past 4 years! I’m hoping it keeps up! Thanks again for always taking the time to watch and comment, it’s appreciated!
Absolute Soggers Brother 😎🏹
Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
@@Points365 😎
Great saves each and every one.. I love the pause on the first flip, heart stopping moment... absolute brreathtaker!
Haha you caught the pause huh?! I don’t know why but sometimes I’m actually surprised that an artifact is whole! Thanks again for checking out the finds buddy!
I love how you bookend your videos! I loved seeing your Motley so much I had to go grab my favorite one. I've got a sweet 3 1/8 inch white one. Definitely one of my favorite points!! Congrats as always and good luck on the next one!
Thanks buddy! The motley’s do have a visually appealing look to them. I from time to time will start thinking about, or see someone else’s artifacts… which makes me have to go home and start going through mine! Haha thanks as always for checking out the finds man!
Once again I’m blown away by the quantity and quality of the artifacts you’re blessed to recover. That’s some honey hole you’ve got there !
The red wing blackbird singing in the background couldn’t be more perfect .
Thanks again! This past April was a crazy month for artifacts. I still haven’t caught up yet with making more videos. My next video coming out tomorrow is another video full of more April finds! I too enjoy the sound of all the birds I get to hear out on the water. It’s one of the many reasons I enjoy being out there taking it all in! Thanks as always!
That first and last points are just wow!!! Nicely done as always my friend 🏹
Thanks buddy! As always, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. Good luck out there!
Another fine video. I learn more and more from each one. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it, and appreciate your appreciation. Hope all is well!
Awesome finds as always! 🙂
Thanks buddy! And as always, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! Good luck out there!
Yeah man that is definitely a masterpiece! Great finds!
Thanks again buddy. Hope you’ve been having some luck out there!
Nice duckbill point. ✝️✝️✝️
I like to throw in a good variety of artifacts in my videos… if I can find a good variety that is! Haha thanks as always for the comments and for watching man!
You are very welcome keep pumping out them videos ✝️✝️✝️
Another fantastic video.I know every time you pick up one of those fine points you have a big smile on your face.Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing .Cant wait till your next video.
Thanks so much! Whew… you know I’ve got that ear to ear grin going! I didn’t get the nickname “smiley” for nothing! Haha I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I’m on vacation next week, but I’ll still try and put together a video to come out next Thursday! Thanks again for watching!
The first point was used as a saw before it was lost or discarded.
That’s crazy! There is an artifact called a TN saw thats found around these parts. I’ve only seen a few of them in other collections, but they are big, toothy, and quite impressive! I’m hopeful to find one eventually. Thanks for checking out the finds man!
You can find a flake with a few notches that was used as a saw. It's called a denticulate that is hundreds of thousands of years old.
Did ya ever find out anything about the bottle ? Nice finds.
No I didn’t. I don’t really have the resources, or the know how to start looking up bottles. Old is all I know! Haha
Must be westTN. with all that mud. Here in middle TN you can’t see the rocks for the rocks.
Haha man middle TN has it all! You get out and you’ll see nothing but sand and mud… a mile from there it’ll be like you said, rocks on top of rocks! It always amazes me to be able to find unbroken artifacts laying amongst the rocks. You must be a good ol’ TN boy. What part you from?
Not sure which one I like better, the Motley or the Pine Tree at the beginning.
Good thing I’m not making you choose between the 2! Haha Thanks again buddy for always checking out the finds. Good luck out there buddy!
@@Points365 I'll make it simple - you can send me both of them! LOL Thanks man.
Haha is that how your collection got so impressive?! 😂
Man, that Motley is insane, and the videos coming out of Tennessee with the Pine Trees, crazy. Few and far between down here, 30 years and I only have 2. You have been slamming it. Congratulations man and good luck on your next adventure. Like u need it. But good luck anyway
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Now that you mention it, I do feel like I’ve found a lot more pines recently than I used to. I’m not complaining! There are a few spots I frequent that are big pine tree producers for me. It’s crazy how some spots you find mostly kirks. Then another spot mostly adenas. Big sandys at another Etc etc.. I guess when they liked a style they stuck with it! Haha but thanks again man, and i appreciate you checking it out. Good luck out there yourself!
Cool finds man you definitely ended with a freaking killer 🔥
Thanks man! One of these days I’m gonna put the killer piece smack dab in the middle of the video… throw people off a little! Haha thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds!
I like that idea mix them up a little!! You definitely find some high end artifacts good hunting 🔥
Oh my gosh , man that pine is beautiful, the motley is awesome, always good to find those point types , I’m still wondering what else is under the silt ! Or on that clay pan . Killer points man always enjoy your videos . Thanks for bringing it brother!
Thanks buddy! The thought of what is laying just beneath the surface is literally always on my mind as I’m trudging across the mud. It’s what keeps me coming back over and over! You never know what’s going to reveal itself the next time you get out! I found a neat little fluted piece where I found that pine tree. It has a greenbrier look to it. I don’t recall seeing a fluted greenbrier though. So I’m not really sure what kind it is? It’ll be in the next video. Hopefully someone will chime in and help out a label on it for me! Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it!
This last one that you found what do you call it down there up here in the north we call it a bottleneck point ✝️✝️✝️
We call it a motley down here. It’s similar in style to the bottleneck benton, minus the fancy shoulders of the motley! It’s a visually pleasing looking style for sure!
What kind of bottle was that?
I’m not really sure?? I’m decent at identifying the flint artifacts. The bottles… I don’t have a clue?!
Killer Motley!
There's another tribe of unimaginative people. Just the thought that hundreds or even thousands of people made the exact same point, nearly flake-for-flake, for upwards of several hundred years, boggles my mind!. If this were just one tribe of copycats that couldn't think outside the box, I could understand. But we see it over, and over, and over.... It would be like if Benjamin Franklin made a Motley. What are the chances your Great Grandson would make the same exact Motley?? I'll never wrap my head around that... And I'm not buying the whole, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" idea. Not for 300 to 500 years. Something doesn't add up.
Anyhoo, killer find bro.
what i dont understand is with all the descriptive words we have to choose from in our language, why so many people refer to their favorite objects as "Killers" or "smokers" i mean is it a culture or tribe of unimaginative speakers.. just does not add up.. yeah some of these points, darts, projectiles, spear and arrowheads are created to kill things, others are utilitarian multi tools fashioned in the shape of projectiles, likely because the aerodynamic shape is appealing or attractive & useful as a knife, spoke shave, scraper, awl proojectile point and many other uses. Different stone/rock materials all have different workable characteristics working Petrified Wood as opposed to working Obsidian or Chert all 3 materials have a different molecular structure and the approach to rendering them is different & a learned skill requiring of practice to achieve consistancy knowing the stone..thats why the end result always looks so similar whether knapped for big game, birds or rodents, there is a common theme.
@@westho7314 Do you suppose kids will still call them, Killers and Smokers in 3 to 500 years?
Lol I’m surprised they don’t call them “vapers” these days!
No talk no watch.
No watch no problem👍🏼 your loss, cuz you won’t see artifact like these anywhere else.
