About 30 years ago down at Lake Fork in Texas on top of gopher digging mound of dirt a 9 1/4” long solid white spear point. I guess the gopher dug it out. It is in perfect condition. Only the second artifact I’ve ever found.
That's a real beauty! What always amazes me is when I find an unbroken piece in a field that's been plowed and tilled for several hundred years, but somehow the piece survived intact. I never get tired of finding any artifact, broken or whole. Still thrills me! I recently found some good pieces in a freshly graveled school playground. The gravel company dredges the TN. River then sells the gravel. SCORE!
I know my grandpa drove over that point with the ford 9n hundreds of times. I was destined to find it when I did! There is some killer stuff at the bottom of the TN river…my dad used to scuba dive down there and found some good stuff.
That’s awesome man. I’ve always wanted to find a graham cave. If they found a chunkey stone in there that means there was a village close by. There is probably a lot of birdpoints in there too.
My bro-in-laws were walking around the normal low-flow creek but all gravel banks with a kid from their own neighborhood from Hazelwood, MO. The creek is in the town limits of Fordland, MO and just meanders through the dairy countryside. It wasn't unusual to swim or swing from a rope into this beautiful setting. The young man named Dave decided he wanted to journey up the side of a bluff about 30+ feet upwards from the creek. It looked treacherous from Bill and Dan's standpoint but he made it and found three beautiful arrowheads and one being made. Can you even imagine? He said he could see for miles and felt something just standing on that rock letting his imagination build on that experience. Thanks, for sharing. LOVED, SUBSCRIBED, &DING!!!
That story sounds a lot like this cave that I found on this property. It is in a different part of the state but MO is known for having tons of caves. It definitely makes you wonder how times have changed and what it all looked like back then. Thanks for the comment, like, and sub!
@@RobsRelics If you can find a plowed field above a creek, that's usually the spot. It's easy peasy. Often there are chips and pottery shards everywhere.👍
@@JamesJones-cx5pk I’m just glad I found this one when I did. In a couple months I bet it would either be broken in half by plow or picked up by the farmer on the tractor!
Thank you! We do most of our hunting in North Alabama but have some sites in Tennessee and occasionally I’ll walk Missouri property. Thanks for the sub!
That has got to be my favorite thing about this hobby. Imagining what time was like back then and the effort the person put into making the arrowhead. Truly fascinating!
I live in SW. MN. a chert poor region. I've hunted arrowheads for most of my life and have a modest collection of poor quality points. Your find is epic! billkeitel
The real question is do you try to identify your geolocation. What kinds of data do you collect to help with possible research into distribution of/types of artifacts. Could be important.
I spend a ton of time studying maps and elevations to find artifacts. There is an app called HuntStand that I use to record all of my finds and see if there is any correlation as to specific point types and cultures who inhabited the area. That is one of my favorite parts of the hobby is to try and figure out why native people were drawn to an area and how long they stayed there.
You are so lucky, We can not walk fields around here wet. You sink to the tops of your boots and the mud says stay a while or surrender your boots. You have ten pounds of the stickyest mud hanging on each foot.
I think if I waited until the following day it would have been soppy mud. That one little rise generally drains pretty well however. I was very fortunate to have found this when I did. I think another month and it would have been chopped in half...
Very nice find. Beautiful material. Chalcedony, agate, quartzite, or other? Interesting tangs/legs. One seems a little more rounded, broken or reworked. Seems like it could have functioned as a spearhead or knife biface. Creator has surely blessed you with this find to be it's overseer.
I think it could be Burlington chert but I’m not 100% sure. It is a little chunky but they did the best they could with it. Most likely a large spearhead. I’m blessed to be able to show it off for years to come! Thanks for the comment
Tks for your reply. I think your are right it is a bit chunky but perhaps that would stand up strong into the Hyde of a large animal of that time period. So cool to think that they may have even used a spear thrower. I think the base truly resembles a Graham Cave more than other types. I have a Graham Cave that is about half that size, made from alabates and is fluted on one side. It was found by a friend in Missouri when he lived there. He gifted it to me. Thank you Rob for sharing your find & the communications relating to it. Fascinating find!
I reside in Missouri and found many artifacts near a creek in the Chesterfield Valley area after the levee broke and flooded the valley. I don't recall the year, but I think it was in the '90s.
@@RobsRelics there is so much Federal land in my area that you have to be careful where you hunt. You can’t pickup everything you find here, is it the same way there?
That's a wonderful point. Will you be allowed to keep it? We, in California have regulations that we should leave artifacts where we found them. Of course, many don't do that. I remember staying with a friend in Sausalito CA at age 10. There was a vacant lot next door covered with flint arrowheads. We played in that lot, but left the arrowheads where they were. I imagine they are gone by now and a house is on that lot. That was in 1950.
Yes as long as it’s private property with permission from landowner it’s permitted to keep artifacts. Public land is a no go of course. The way I see it, if I don’t pick it up there is a very good chance it will be lost forever. But some people think it’s moral to leave it and I understand their perspective as well.
Thinking about the primitive peoples that lived there. How many generations and years? Were they happy contented people? I'm betting they actually were.
That is one of my favorite things about this hobby is imagining the people back then and how times have changed. Personally, I don't think they had as much stress and anxiety as we have today. They didn't have to worry about money. But we don't have to worry about hypothermia and being attacked by wild animals. They were definitely a tougher people. I never thought of them being happy but I think they very well could have been. Thanks for challenging my critical thinking today. Have a good one!
Call find yeah I living in Arizona most of my younger years I never did think about any Indians besides Apaches a Navajo‘s but my parents packed up and moved to Missouri Mountain View and I didn’t really think nothing about arrowheads then I moved to Ohio not far from Newark Where the Indian mounds are got to go hunting first time all it’s been 30 years ago buddy took me to feel we jumped the fence start walking and it was intense spots and I found a big black airhead made a necktie out of it like a western necktie haven’t gone much lately my two sons I don’t take any Internet and looking for her head so but I did go out with my boss one time we had a field by Buckeye Lake for a few minutes and I was feeling kind of sick I walked 100 yards down this plow line stop turned around look at my boss he was still looking he was about in the same line I was in I said heck with it I’m going back to the truck I’m not feeling good and I made it about halfway back to him and he took his hat off and threw it on the ground and said hey come and look at this so I walked up I looked at his head up in like 5 inches for my foot step that I just made in the mud and laying in the mud was like a 6 inch spearhead it was black also and I was feeling so rough fight and depressed because he’s the one that found it to the artist went back to the truck I’ve got quite a few arrowheads that are hole I have a lot of broken ones that I have but yeah it’s a lot of fun and I had fun doing it lotta walking or for national trail race way up here for the NHRA Mahan Ohio and they own a lot of farmland around the track and they used to go on lunch breaks and walk the fields after it rained That’s where I found a lot of them right next to the track but nice fine you got there keep it up I would’ve never known there was airheads in Missouri or I to probably look for him there well later bye
I’ve lived in Columbus, Ohio for a couple years and have always heard Newark was a great spot. My in-laws live in STL so that is one of the hottest spots in the country. I would be interested to know how many arrowheads I’ve walked over in my day. Thanks for the comment friend.
I had thought Osceola as well. Just has light grinding, the other Graham cave I have has heavy grinding and pointed, droopy ears. I guess that is why there are so many subtypes and discrepancies. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Well I can tell you this. To find a high quality point like that in a field your in a great area. I'm in missouri. Adair county, northeast missouri. I can't get onto my old utube channel Hardknock feeders no more but I used to video some of my stuff.
Grahm Cave, Definitely a find of a lifetime. Especially field walking😮. I 'very never dug really so I can't speak to what that's like but when you walk up on something like that,it's just amazing! Congratulations!
I serve a God who can move mountains so I know He can move a little rock if He wants too. He has blessed me with some good ones lately. Thanks for the comment :)
From what I'm told the native indians roamed freely for about 10, 000 years, in all of that time they only worked stone, all of the hunting areas, camp sites, gathering places and where battles took place will gave evidence of their existance. As they took such a long time to make arrows were reclaimed where possible. Some did leave a cache of started blanks and even finished heads were hidden rather than carried around but I still believe that any straight line ditch or boundary will hold little or nothing but waterways, crossings and shallows are worth getting I with riddles and sieving through for not just artifacts but also minerals if they are known to be found in that area. Good hunting.
That is why I love hunting in the old springs and creeks because I never know what I will find. I find tons of fossils and artifacts ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 years old. It is one of my dreams to find a cache of blades or points. That would be awesome! Thanks for the comment
@Rob’s Relics I'm new to collecting so I hope I'm not out of line because I read all the comments and no one else asked but I'm gonna risk it. If you would decide to sell it what does a piece like that generally get?
@@jellycream1964 I’ve never sold an arrowhead but I’ve been told generally a $100 per inch for nice ones. This one is 4” so maybe $400? But it’s not for sale :)
Very nice. Private land with permission is the only way to go. I was never allowed to keep any of my finds on public land. Egregious laws that prevent you from keeping your finds do nothing but make criminals of honest men and enable unscrupulous archeologists too lazy to find their own to put your finds in Their collections.
Yes I’ve heard of some stories of archaeologists doing land owners wrong and keeping artifacts despite promising to let the land owner keep them. Its a flawed system for sure. Thanks for checking out my video!
Really? You cannot keep anything you find on all public lands or are u just talking native artifacts? Even the national forest? Those public lands are ours, the citizens land.
@@jellycream1964 I’ve been told most states won’t let you keep anything over 100 years old (bottles, coins, artifacts) but that varies of course. I would definitely stay away from the national parks as far as collecting. A lot has changed over the last 50 years for relic hunters.
@Rob’s Relics then it certainly isn't a free country. How would the state know? Do they expect people to turn things over to them? 😂🤣 yeah right. Like the man said, they want to turn explorers who happen to find things into criminals
Definitely a must see! Congrats on a super sweet point!

That's a real beauty! What always amazes me is when I find an unbroken piece in a field that's been plowed and tilled for several hundred years, but somehow the piece survived intact.

My bro-in-laws were walking around the normal low-flow creek but all gravel banks with a kid from their own neighborhood from Hazelwood, MO. The creek is in the town limits of Fordland, MO and just meanders through the dairy countryside. It wasn't unusual to swim or swing from a rope into this beautiful setting. The young man named Dave decided he wanted to journey up the side of a bluff about 30+ feet upwards from the creek. It looked treacherous from Bill and Dan's standpoint but he made it and found three beautiful arrowheads and one being made. Can you even imagine?

From what I'm told the native indians roamed freely for about 10, 000 years, in all of that time they only worked stone, all of the hunting areas, camp sites, gathering places and where battles took place will gave evidence of their existance.
As they took such a long time to make arrows were reclaimed where possible.

Feel free to send me your email and I’ll send you a pic of this 4” beast

Very nice. Private land with permission is the only way to go. I was never allowed to keep any of my finds on public land. Egregious laws that prevent you from keeping your finds do nothing but make criminals of honest men and enable unscrupulous archeologists too lazy to find their own to put your finds in Their collections.
Yes I’ve heard of some stories of archaeologists doing land owners wrong and keeping artifacts despite promising to let the land owner keep them. Its a flawed system for sure. Thanks for checking out my video!
Really? You cannot keep anything you find on all public lands or are u just talking native artifacts? Even the national forest? Those public lands are ours, the citizens land.
@@jellycream1964 I’ve been told most states won’t let you keep anything over 100 years old (bottles, coins, artifacts) but that varies of course. I would definitely stay away from the national parks as far as collecting. A lot has changed over the last 50 years for relic hunters.
@Rob’s Relics then it certainly isn't a free country. How would the state know? Do they expect people to turn things over to them? 😂🤣 yeah right. Like the man said, they want to turn explorers who happen to find things into criminals
