Curious on what you look for in creeks and how you mostly find them. I live in Virginia by James river tons of creeks and opportunity but where do you start?
I would start in the smaller tributaries...
Look for feeders off the main tributary.,especially the ones that come out of higher ground.,and along ridges
You live where it all started!
@@Theditchwalker by feeders do you mean drainage paths/weather creeks that feed into the tributaries? I live in the same area and I've found 2 points, a possible scraper, and what looks like sort of odd hand tools in my little creek. Do you have a source you use to identify hand tools?
Yes...small creeks basically....usually.,flake blades .,scrapers and such are indicative of the woodland period.thanks for commenting
I am 53 years old been hunting plowed fields all my life, I seen this channel and I thought I have never thought about looking in a creek or the river right in front of my house. I just walked down to the river which has walnut trees lining the banks and I be dang there in about 6” of water the best nutting stone I have ever seen! I am making a floating sift and I am going to see what is there.
Heck yeah..!...I hunted fields until I was about 20...a friend introduced me to creek hunting....at that time the creek hunters were only hunting larger creeks. After about 10 years of creek hinting.,I turned my attention to smaller tributaries and drainage ditches because no one was hunting them....Well.,you see the results....thanks for commenting
Creeks are great.Especially after a high water event.
Yes I've been hunting for 57 years and just started hunting the creeks about 15 years ago some of the biggest and best artifacts I ever found came from those creeks and rivers makes me want to cry to think about what I might have missed all those years before but I tell you what stick to those creeks friend your going to be amazed
Love your videos, they are never pointless!
Arrowhead humor I like it.
you are on point with that comment
My Papa born 1896 told us grandkids first job he had was plowing feilds with a mule and he was barefoot behind the plow said he stepped on so many arrowheads and sometimes one cut his foot he'd throw it as far as he could . I like finding them so many it's just nice to get outside.
Sounds like all that rain washed out a telephone.
Me and a buddy found a well used deer crossing on a small creek in East Texas that was perfect for a blind. We took several deer there with our bows and found several stone arrow heads in that same location over the years. It seems that hunters hundreds of years apart still know a good location when they see it!
Thousands of years my friend..
Care to share? Lol I’m in East Texas too and always looking for spots!
@@IratePuffin This was on public hunting land where you need a permit to trespass. They have cheap a non-use permit that allows year round trespassing (camping, hiking and etc) but no hunting or fishing. Look up Texas Parks and Wildlife public hunting lands online. You can download their maps to see if you want to explore them before buying a permit. Just don't go there during hunting season for obvious reasons. Hope this helps.
That’s really cool observation! I have noticed the same thing here in Kentucky.🤟
Thousands of years bud
I liked your comment about “staging” things. It is crazy how powerful running water can be, but then be so gentle. I was out on the Wabash and found a mercury dime on river bank after water went down. It was sat neatly on a rock, heads up, it looked like someone just sat it down. That jug was great too, can’t say how many of those I have found broken, never a whole one. Good luck in all your adventures
I had over 100 arrowheads mounted on presentation boards I found as a kid. Had them stored upstairs in a furniture factory I owned as an adult. Some sorry bastard I was paying to work for me stole them. Hours and hours of walking corn fields gone. Probably sold for nothing to buy some crack. Makes you hate people.
I had my first collection stolen a few years back, I know exactly how that feels. Nothing like someone who has no respect for anyone or anything hope you find some more. Peace.
What a knucklehead. Must be a pretty horrible life to think it's okay to do that to folks. I feel sorry for that person.
@MysteriousOklahoma , You Talk Like a Complete Fool, Most of the People of Oklahoma Are much smarter than that, Indian or White.
man I'm truly sorry that happened to you
Man that whiskey jug find was one in a million. What a great piece for your collection.
Yea! You're back! And getting some great finds too. Stay bright eyed and bushy tailed.
And glad to be back..! Thanks for commenting...Stay safe Pamela
Howdy from Northern California. Have found arrow heads by an old papermill. Would shuffle my feet through it's discarded river rock piles. Would here the clink sound of them. Sounds like you got into an Indian encampment with so many. 😀👍
My Grandfather used to walk the banks of the Flint River in Michigan and he knew where there were old mounds and he had found dozens of arrowhead and spear points. I always regret that he never showed me where they were and he's been gone a long time.
I always get goose bumps when I find, and handle a point that was last handled by pre historic people. Just like me who were bow hunters.
Congrats guys and cool vid.
Glad to see you back on here Brother! As always with your videos great content! I appreciate you sharing the pulls and your knowledge!
Good to be back.! I appreciate it J....all my pleasure..Cheers.!
Use to camp in Calistoga, CA as Boy Scouts (annual replanting adventure), we would scour the stream beds and find TONS of arrowheads, and salamanders.
It’s so crazy to think someone hundreds or thousands of years ago spent their afternoon making that and it hasn’t been touched until you picked it out of the mud.
I know and I absolutely love it....thanks for commenting
Yeah that's always the most amazing thing to think you're the first human who's held that in thousands of years.
Not that old..only few thousand.not hundreds
@@dalehunt7771 Haha Dale I said hundreds OR thousands
@@dalehunt7771 Yep , I was going to straighten him out but y'all beat me ! At around 12,700 ya Clovis people and the mega fauna of N and S America CEASE TO EXIST !
Fer a good read , check out Dr. Anthony Zamoros and his work on why this happens ! This will further lead you to another group that are studying several other impact events that happen around the same time ! I see evidence locally where I live that the local Clovis people probably looked up , saw a brilliant flash of light , yep ,
" THEY SAW THE LIGHT " and an instant later , CEASED TO EXIST !
In less than the " BLINK OF AN EYE " !
Watch out artifacts the ditch Walker is back on the prowl. Great finds keep em coming 👍👍👍🏹
Gonna try my best...Thanks for commenting and good luck
Whenever I see you of you videos Get a little excited and I know I’m going to watch it. Nice finds and good luck in your future hunts
I remember my dad taking me out after it rained after they would plow
For crops I remember finding my first arrow head I was bout 9 and went up and down the rows all day and finally found a little white arrowhead maybe a inch long man I was tickled pink! They’res some good creeks out in Kentucky like yours with flint rock everywhere but good job fellas I’m gonna take my son out and pass it on now thinks for reminding me bout the fun
Good finds yall keep on digging
Man you guys find some absolute beautiful material down that way! Some great points! Thanks for sharing!
Those are beautiful I have never seen some like these
That Mississippi color.
Good to see ya Joe!!! Some sweet color rolling out of them banks!! I know we love them oldies but those late archaic and woodlands are mighty fine too!! Definitely a mixture p-train, flint creek and gary types. Looks like a late archaic- early woodland site got hammered pretty good and the creek deposited them in that blow up nice and neat for you guys!!! Y’all keep on em and hopefully we’ll see y’all again before too long!!! Awesome old jug too!! 👍
Appreciate it ya'll....it's been tough up here...we'll get through it...😎...best of luck to you guys and thanks for commenting
Your fans Love ❤️ you man!
We love those red points!
And I love them….Yes.,the colorful material makes for great vids...very blessed to get to hunt where I do....Appreciate your comments Fred
Cool guys, when you know what you are looking for it is always good to get out after the weather and water have been wild.
Score. Found the honey hole. Jug was pretty cool and the heads were awesome. Was fun to watch. Great video
I go back again and again just salivating at that dig fellers! Good diggings👍
Appreciate it Walter....found a spot prospecting that I am salivating to dig..😂....I've never seen that much pottery in a creek and I'm gonna dig into the bar and see what happens....I got a good feeling
@@Theditchwalker , best of hunting on your new spot ! 🙏👍
A great hunt my friends. Congratulations. It was magnificent. Greetings and blessings.
Thanks.,we appreciate it coyote...thanks for commenting and goodluck
Scott's bluff my friend found one about that size good place love it when you find one right after another. Wish it wasn't snowing. Great video.
I’ve found three so far out here in Colorado. Just out hiking in the Rockies. All have been in random areas . One was in a creek bed
Looks like you found a honey hole nice finds,God is good
Almost 4got what ever happened to those fossils did you ever get them out?
"Crank her outta there". Love the good ole boys!
Was getting worried bout y'all. Glad you back, awesome awesome awesome spot. I had a few spots like that years back, kept em secret, every time I would share a spot that good, I come back and find lots of footy tracks.
Awesome finds 😃
I found an arrow head in northern California when I was diggin up a water line. I was amazed and it made me feel connected to the past. Great video
Amazing...Ive never found one, you have to develop an Eye for them, I guess. These guys are amazing
Outstanding ! Its been a while. Glad to see U out and about. U keep looking and I'll keep Enjoying !! Peace Brother
Man, those are some pretty points! Loved the microflaking on that second point in particular. Sandbars can be so weird; I remember playing in something we called the 'Indian River' in Stone Mountain GA as a kid (it was more likely either Barbashela Creek or Stone Mountain Creek, not sure which) and finding a whole bunch of pottery shards on one little sandbar out in the middle, nowhere else.
Yes.,creeks can be weird because the water will classify certain weight objects to certain places..,for instance.,the shards you found on the one spot....the real beauty of it is that you never know what will wash out of where...and when..! Thanks for commenting
Every time I hear Stone Mountain Georgia I think of Crusher Blackwell from my childhood.
The algorithm sent me here, liked and subscribed. Very interesting stuff, I used to go arrowhead hunting with my ex father in law in Nevada.
I appreciate it...Arrowhead hunting is something I probably will not stop doing until I am horizontal lol....thanks for subscribing and commenting
I got a dozen or so I found working the farm, never had luck actually looking I always find them by complete accident lol
Have missed ya! To anyone when your on a hot spot. Yes! That shovel can have a point on it!
Be wondering where you have been. It’s good to see you back.
It's difficult to put out a vid every week or month when your being totally honest with your uploads...A sure fire way to get my response is to call my vids "staged " or "fake"....makes my blood boil after all the years and busted hunts I've been on lol...than n for commenting
Damn! You guys are finding museum pieces. Great watch!
Appreciate it Bernie...thanks for commenting
Looks like you have found one killer spot. Congrats on all those nice finds. Keep well.
Thanks for the video I love hunting arrowheads got several hundreds points I moved to Louisiana from Oklahoma just haven’t found a good spot down here yet I live on Sabine River so I’m sure I will find a spot soon thank guys great hunting
I enjoy your Treks, and appreciate your shares of Geological Knowledge.
Wishing you delicious Explorations and Discoveries.
Best Thoughts ...
I appreciate it Beth...glad you enjoy. I've noticed your comments and they are on my list to respond tonight.
I'm a central to Nrth FL guy... Your accents sound like home to me 👌 Lived in Vegas for several yrs too, used to go dwn to AZ & arrow hunt ! Impressive finds & That's A HONEY HOLE guys !
😂😂😂 I have the same ringtone. So much fun to walk old creeks. Your finds are amazing. I live in West Tennessee and work in Northern Mississippi. The growth in this area is incredible. My boys and I hate to see the woods destroyed for housing. Animals need homes also. Great finds! I am a new subscriber.
😂.....oh ok kewl....I appreciate it Beverly. Rock hunting is in my blood...there's nothing more intriguing to me than walking a creek and finding something made by prehistoric man so long ago.! Yes .,it's really booming there south of Memphis. You live in a good area also...I have a fb friend that hunts creeks in the city limits of Memphis and does really good. Thank you for commenting and subscribing.,much appreciated..good luck
@@Theditchwalker I live in Memphis but don’t know of any good creeks. Your friend have any recommendations? We’ve searched nonconnah creek and wolf river. It’s just hard to get to certain areas
I am so glad you are back--thank you for the videos! You are one of my favorite channels.
I appreciate it Anne....it's all my pleasure..🙂
Boys, those are some mighty fine points and blades! Beautiful colors! Nice hunt! And that whiskey jug is just amazing!😊💖
We appreciate it Cynthia..thanks for your comments
That whisky jug is pretty neat
I thought so...Always wanted to find one....thanks for commenting
Just wanted you to know, I have watching your channel for about 10 years, hunting for 30, always a field or digging in a field, never thought about creeks or didn't have access. Family friend gave me permission to their farm, and it was on from there. Some average points, then a G10 Abbey, then, My best piece, a G10 1st stage Lost Lake, took it to a show, they offered me 2500, but I still have it. So basically you got me to start looking creeks and that's where I found it. At that time all I had was a camera. Just started a channel recently. My creek hunting is limited to 3 creeks, but I love to dig and have more access to that. So thanks for sharing and getting me on the right path, it's been fun. Good luck on your next adventure.
I appreciate it Dave...all my pleasure man....I hunted fields until I was about 20.,then I started creek hunting and finding the best pieces of my life...I haven't hunted a field since...I wish you the best of luck
@@Theditchwalker when I get some time, I post
I will post a video of the stuff I was talking about when I get some time. Hit the wrong button a minute ago. Lol
Awesome Finds those arrow heads
Like everybody said it's good to have you back on.! I love hearing your knowledge of both the type of point and the material. Unlike other guys out there that just say oh that's a nice one that's a nice one. All artifacts are nice some are nicer than others. Up here in Northern Illinois my two brothers in our 60s are just as addicted so we find ourselves out corn bashing pulling out occasional nice points. Can't wait to see more videos that you have to throw out there. Good luck!
I appreciate it john... Before I started youtube.,I watched what everyone was doing wrong..and done it rite..! Good luck guys.
On my granpops farm near the Arkansas River in Franklin County; we had mounds where the dwellings stood. We found lots of grinder stones, bowl stones, arrow and spear points. These Natives farmed, fished and hunted. Where I live now in the Boston section of the Ozarks, our White River Valley was full of Elk, Buffalo, deer, bear, cougars. Im going thru the creeks!
And you will do well..! Many of these campsites are multi-occupational ..meaning they've been camped on by different cultures over thousands of years....once your finding the tools of the cultures your talking about., artifacts of the paleo and early archaic nomadic hunters surface. That's the beauty of creek hunting...erosion cuts through many layers and deposits the artifacts in the creek bed...I wish you the best of luck and thank you for commenting
Go see mr blythe in waldron arkansas blythe's museum ... He has the best arrow head collection in scott county arkansas by far... And other artifacts from around the world.
Man oh man now thats a good spot y'all found there! Best sift that creek in that area real good might be plenty more upstream too. It looks like an eddie up stream and thats a good spot to look. Got them backswirling currents from the river. 👍👍
We will surely take a closer look at this spot and another I have found....a sifter is a must in this sand lol....Goodluck
@@Theditchwalker sounds like another great soon to be video to me!
Nice finds!! It’s great to see you back out there. That new spot has a lot of promise. Good luck!!
Thank you PA....maybe we can stay on'em..! Goodluck
I just found your channel and I am very glad to have done so!
I grew up on Vancouver Island off the coast of British Columbia.
We did not find too many points or tools though they were encountered and we did find a few but part of the indigenous history was uncovered when the gravel beaches along the north coast were cleared of the gravel over clay (small sections) to find footprints still in the clay, protected by gravel for over 14000 years.
I can't imagine your good fortune in living in an area that allows you to find such indications of human activity from so long ago. Do you ever feel humbled by the past?
How did you get involved in this hobby though that is an inadequate word.
I hope to learn more from you as I go back through your work. Cheers from Canada!
Lost all my arrow heads and other various artifacts in a fire. Collected them all from a cornfield100 feet from my home growing up. If you go out in the spring to this day you can still find things. The story was there had been a Indian village where our home was. Had a small river 200 feet from house.
Wow, what an awesome place to start a dig
Great video and the best part that you actually comment us back. 👍
I appreciate it....responding is something I've always implemented . Of course.,it's gotten a little more hectic these days..,I used to sit for hours at night replying...now I just let them build up and try to catch up lol.....I guess .,at some point, I will have to answer only relative comments.
Beautiful finds mate! I'd love to do this just once in my life!! Awesome 😎
I appreciate it ....shoot...find you a creek and make it happen.
the new creek seems to be a killer. looking forward to seeing what else you can pull outta there. best of luck man.
Appreciate it....it's awful sandy..we will see what happens....good luck.,stay safe and thanks for commenting
Awesome hunt some beautiful points congratulations 🤩👍
Thanks I appreciate it Christian...best of luck
Those were some really nice points. Hope to see more.
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing your finds with us
Appreciate it David...my pleasure...see you soon.
@@Theditchwalker I am now subscribed and am looking forward to your videos. My best friend and I hunt artifacts as well, mostly arrowheads and tools. Happy hunting from NC.
Been waiting for a new video!! Thanks and keep em coming
My pleasure...Weather is about to cool off...maybe I can get to crankin.
Well you are in INDIAN country...my mother...grand...and great grandparents..are all from Mississippi. Im proud to find out that I am part choctaw..and part cherokee....traced all the way back to w. Florida. We were one of the 21 original Nations of the Mississippi.... and only officially choctaw remains.
Man, I could listen to you saying "Rain" and "July" all day!
Wow guys! Those are some beautiful finds! I'm a beginner in Ct and I cant wait!
Great video, keep up the great work! Thanks Bryan Kitchen Houston Texas
I appreciate it Bryan....All my pleasure . Thanks for commenting
Love days like that my friend.
Congratulations
HEY DITCHWALKER YOU'RE AWESOME SIR!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖐😃
My 9 year old just found your video. He has been watching them nonstop for the last three days! No complaints from me though.
Kewl...that's why I keep my content family friendly....Tell him I said hello and thank you for commenting
Love watching your videos
Nice haul, guys!
Thanks for the visit and Good luck
Looks like you boys are having some fun.
Absolutely..!...Thanks for commenting David
That prospecting sure paid off brother👍🇺🇸
Nice. Yes sir they do come out like that.
None of these are staged, I can tell. Random flake pattern, textbook late archaic points coming out of Mississippi. A place where if you find the right creek, you can pull out points up into the double digits. Good stuff.
Great video, I used to do this when I was a kid near my little local creek and in cornfields, but the only luck I ever had was on my own property. I found 2 very nice points and the twin to the blade that you found at 1:30 of the vid. Mine has the same large notch on the top that yours does and the same unusual ovoid shape. It fits comfortably into either hand and it's sharp! I had the opportunity to show it to an archaeologist and he said it was Late Archaic. I live 800 miles north of you in Southern Ontario.
Appreciate it Rick...I have been doing this since I was 10...creeks only for over 20 years. Thanks for commenting
This was great!
Thank you.
Appreciate it...My pleasure...thanx for commenting
Beautiful.
Talk about a uniform group of points ! Excellent
Appreciate you commenting Kerry
Great finds man! Glad to see ya pullin some points!
Appreciate it Brad and Aliza....it feels good..! Congratulations on the growth of your channel
Theditchwalker thanks man!
As a 11 yr old my grandfather would not let me stop when it rained on a plowed field on his place.Always found one too in Humansville Mo.No telling where they are now
Missouri is one of the most popular states for arrowhead hunting. Thanks for commenting
Dang man, that's what I imagine heaven being like! haha That is some nice material too. Thats what I love about the sandy areas, it keeps the points in great shape! I can't wait to see what else that spot produces!
That spot turned out the way you saw it....all the points were stuck on the front quadrant....I love sand too..! They don't get damaged and they don't go far and tend to congregate
Good to see you back!! Nice points😀
HEY THEDITCHWALKER SIR, THOSE ARE GORGEOUS ARROWHEADS AND THAT YELLOW AND RED BLADE YOU FOUND SIR I LOVE IT ♥️👍😃🖐 THANKS FOR SHARING. I ONLY WISH I COULD GO CREEK HUNTING FOR ARROWHEADS AND STUFF SIR. I LIVE IN GEORGIA. WE'VE AFEW CREEKS.
Thanks for commenting...You can creek hunt in Georgia..get out there and get'em...🙂
My husband loves arrowheads, history and exploring. Is this a public area, how can you find public places to explore for arrowheads like these?! ❤️ awesome and very fascinating video
In SW. MN I have hunted for 50 years. We live in a chert poor area. Finding more than two or three complete points in one day would be amazing! bk
Nice finds guys! Awesome!!
Appreciate it...stay safe Murray
There's a hill over in Arlington TX that you guys would just love. Stuffed with fossils. Used to spend my days there bashing rocks together. Mostly sandstone though.
Great video. You just took 40 years off my life.....”I feel good”.
Good old bucket washing!! He'll ya You just found more than some people have in their entire collection
I will attempt to respond to all comments from 9 to 11 tonight..thank you for your patience
