I’ll say it again, best artifact channel on TH-cam. Your humor, knowledge, and passion separate you from the others. Great hunt.🇺🇸
Thank You David! Much Appreciated 👍
Very helpful!thank you for sharing your hard-earned knowledge...and love your humor 😄
Sir, these videos are so much fun. I used to hunt with my dad on hunting trips in South Georgia and fishing trips in North Georgia. Very amateur stuff, but amazing memories. He past away two years ago and I’m still slowly going through his stuff and I FOUND OUR discoveries. Cleaned them up one night and it really sparked the fever again. I’m 38 now and have a son (12) and daughter (17) of my own. We went out together for the first time ever with no direction or plan, and ended up in N. Ga. along the Etowah River and the original section of the Trail of Tears. Didn’t find anything, but I didn’t bring any shovels or anything. Just surface looking. You’re giving me lots of ideas and I’m learning a ton. Thanks for the content! If you ever want some hunting partners, we’ll drive up! 😂 Congrats on these finds here. Beautiful stuff!
Much Appreciated! Hope y’all find a nice one!👍
Great thing to do with the kids, kids need a passion and one you and their grandfather did is all the better.
The bow of the barge pushes water ahead of it and the prop pushes water behind it. Big ships can lower the water several feet stranding fish on the beach. In the Gulf of Mexico people run out and scoop up the fish. Just found your channel and love it!
Thanks for the info Ron!👍
What awesome finds, points and marbles, what could be better? Glad to see you back out, Clegg!💖
Thank You Much Cynthia!👍
I grew up between Columbus and Portsmouth Ohio. Muchos corn and soybean country. When the farmers would plow there fields, all the kids would walk behind him and you just wouldn’t believe the collection of artifacts found in this manner. Love your channel…new subscriber! Your awesome my friend!
Very Much Appreciated! Yeah, some of those fields are great for looking
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your enthusiasm and excitement is infectious. I used to find marbles now and then when I metal detected. A lot of fun as well.
Thanks Jim! Whole lot of fun 👍
Great video, maybe my favorite so far. Great finds. You got me at the end. Can’t wait to show this to my son.
Thank You Kevin!👍
Your show is addicting!! Really enjoy learning from your knowledge, believe me I’m taking notes! Cool finds too🤟🏼🤟🏼
Thanks Much Ry !👍
This was a really good video! Im already addicted to metal detecting and looking for native American artifacts but watching your channel has just made me even more fired up to spend as much time as possible out looking! Your lucky to live near a major river though.... I'm a little jealous of you there. Lol Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Much! Good luck out there!👍
Man I’m so darn happy I found your station. I just recently found my first 2 . 1 arrowhead and 1 scraper. Now I have the fever, I wish I could find some spots like this to check around me. Got cancer and I’m not able to do too much but I’m going to try hard. I’m 53 and can’t wait for the weather to cool off so I can get out. Best station I follow , you’re doing a great thing for guys like me.
Very Much Appreciated Ted!
Healthy wishes to you, and I hope you can get out soon. Probably a nice one just waiting on ya.
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Much appreciated Kevin👍
New subscriber here, You find such awesome finds. My mother would look for arrow heads at the lake and in the plowed garden after a rain. I follow a few hunters and have a collection of my own. I am Cherokee decent. I love this. Thank you for all you do. Clegg's Adventures. Benge watching your videos.
Much Appreciated Teressa👍
Thank you, loved how you explained and desifered between the dart and bow and arrow points.
Much Appreciated!👍
This channel is going to blowup! In a good way though lol. Thanks for all the knowledge and adventure you are spreading.
Thanks Much, it’s starting to grow
Scott we look forward to spring and more adventures and arrowheads thanks for your advice Longisland produces artifacts takes a little work thanks again Erik
Thanks to y’all also!👍
I just found your account and just adore your content. I have a MS in an anthropological branch and have missed the enthusiasm anthropologists have for their craft. You have great tips too!!
Much Appreciated
Geat video! I like watching your adventures. I love all your goofy stunts like your time traveling shortcuts. You've inspired me to head out and check the banks of the Tennessee River to see what I can find. I'll let you know...
Much Appreciated! Good luck out there
I love watching your adventures. Born and raised in Weirton, moved to New Cumberland 46 years ago - can see the Ohio from my house. Been a local history buff for years (amazing how much history there is). Never knew I could go half a mile from my house and do what you do. My dad found a spear point and large arrow head? in our garden on Marland Heights in Weirton. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever heard of a book called "Dark and Bloody River"? It's a history book of the Ohio. You have to read it.
Much Appreciated. Yes, my friend just gave me that book. I haven’t started it yet
I was hoping u had a video coming soon. Love your hunts. That's was a good ending. Lol.
Thank You, we’ll always be back.👍
I enjoy these videos I am a paralyzed vet now and can’t get to these locations anymore. So your taking me on these adventures withy
You! Pretty cool. I have study the native american cultures all my life. I was in a Special Forces unit when injured. So I have a great interest in ancient weaponry and the means in which they survived by hunting and gathering.honestly I feel like I was born in the wrong year..
Another good adventure. Really enjoyed it. Thanks
Thank You!👍
Great videos, fun videos - I'm glad you are finding your marbles and not losing them.
Hahaha 👍
Killer hunt and some sweet finds. Marbles look like Akro Agates to me. Late 40s-60s.👍☮️
Thanks for the info Sonny! And Thanks for watching 👍
So glad to see you again!!! Also, I see you have something on your head to protect you from the sun!!! I once recommended you wear a hat cause I was concerned about your head blistering. Lol. All foolishness aside- loved watching your videos- and how you educate us as you go- wonderful videos- and your sense of humor brings a smile every time!!!!
Thank You so much Maggie, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to get out but hopefully soon again. I try to always keep sunscreen on my ears when it’s sunny. Right now, in winter, sun doesn’t hit very hard. It’s always way low in the sky. ❤️
Great to see you back out on the river. Awesome finds my friend. You had a great day! No matter how grown up we get we can always be a kid again just by getting outdoors and seeing what treasures we can find. How can anyone not love that? Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and taking the time to make a good entertaining video.
Thank You!👍 Much Appreciated Guys!
Loved how you said,we can be kids again.Some of my fondest memories are of me and my brother looking for points.
Clegg, I'm glad you are back to make videos, big fan,good hunting my friend.
Thanks Much! I’ll always be making videos, and always be back.👍
Great artifacts, good information , good humor, Iam still laughing about the making it on a hillside lol!! very good video. You take care and happy hunting.
Thank You Norma 👍❤️
What a great day for you Scott entertaining as always too.
Thanks Mike, much appreciated👍
Love your videos! The first pottery in North America was made by the Stallings culture 5 thousand years ago. They were located in the Augusta GA area. It was basket pressed, with the clay fortified with fiber.
Thanks for the info 👍
This was a marbleous video!
Two super nice arrowheads too!
Thanks Terry
Sometimes you’ll say something and sound exactly like Donnie Baker. Thank you for the temporary relief from the world your videos bring.
You’re the third person to tell me this.👍Thanks So Much
Scott awesome production!!! Great saves you had a phenomenal day!!! All great points!!! I’d really like to see those close up, I know the GP it’s not great for that maybe a clean up at the end?? Did you consider adding another camera to your adventures? Was the doorag for goose poo protection? Lol great job glad to see you back sifting!!
Yea, I need to do a quick shot with the phone camera after each find. I use to do cleanups, but it was hurting my watch time.
Glad your back on the hunt!!! VERY Enjoyable Hunting with you!!
Thanks Rich!👍
Those are some nice arrowheads, great finds.
Thank You, Much Appreciated!👍
Wonderful finds Clegg.
Much Appreciated Clint
I just started watching. Great channel. Keep 'em coming. The only improvement, right there on the river, would be to throw a fishing line out while you're there. It would be sure to double your audience.
Give us a couple
Oops...Minutes...5, 10...30 of catfishing...
I thought about that. Put a little bell on the pole for when I get a bite
Awesome finds!
Thanks!
Awesome day on the river!!! Enjoyed it 🏹
Thank You Much!👍
I’m originally from Kanawha County, WV but live in NC now. Used to hunt arrowheads in Buffalo, WV when I was a kid. I have a house in Pocahontas County, WV where I spend time in the summer. Have found arrowheads in the backyard when my neighbor used to have a garden there. There’s a creek that runs behind the house. Never thought to sift through the gravel in the creek. You have opened up a whole new hobby for me! Love your videos!
Definitely check those creeks
Any place named Buffalo should have big points. Near Ashland, Ky here, barges and tow/push boats really churn the water. I love the sound of the ground and water vibrating as they pass by.
I’m from south central WV but also have a house in Pocahontas County. Two creeks come together at the front corner of my property there and I have found fossils in the creeks but no artifacts.
I do have a piece of pinkish colored coral from another location in Pocahontas County. It’s hard to imagine coral in those mountains.
As a note of interest, there is a lava outcrop a few miles of south of Sugar Grove, WV in Pendleton County. Lava is something else you wouldn’t expect to find in those mountains.
Man, you loaded up on the artifacts today! That's a great hunt anywhere.
Much Appreciated Mr. Smith 👍
Key chain skull...i used to have one..so heavy they fall off..dad had one too
Fantastic channel 👍
Thanks Nelson, Much Appreciated!👍
Great fun!!! I’m hunting Knox and Coshocton counties, after hunting points for 40 years, I’m just finding stone effigies, they represent every critter from the Pleistocene era, Shaman, Bear, Wolves, Rams, Mastodon, crocodile, Panthers and Am. lions. After watching your videos I’m Jonesin’ for some points!!!
Good luck out there
I used to hunt points at some mounds in East Texas . Now they are protected by they State.Wish I would of keep all of the pot shards I found.This guy is fantastic.
Awesome, so many different finds in one area. When you find points accumulated in one area like that, do you think they were usually throwing it at deer and other game because it's all along a riverbank? Or could they even have used them for spear fishing?
These artifacts were accumulated over many centuries. From the things I find, I would say it was a village. Many villages over centuries. A lot of things can be dropped or left behind over 12,000 years. They probably fished here but I’d say it was more habitats than hunting grounds.
I’m 71 years old and used to be marble games/ competitions when I was in elementary school and we called the marbles you refer to as swirls we knew them a cat eyes. Simple times serious competition at recess!
I was born too late, 1971.
You had a good day sifting, with a couple of killer points and lots of other artifacts. There must have been an old dump there too, because you are getting a lot of marbles. I seldom find any marbles while sifting.
Thanks Brother! That’s the most marbles I’ve ever sifted, usually only find 1 or 2
Thanks for reigniting my love for artifact hunting.
Thank you Mark👍
No thanks on the Rabid Racoon. Ha ha. I hate those darn critters. But the artifacts were way cool. Thanks for the video.
Much Appreciated 👍
Love that triangle BTW!!!
That Flint ridge point is about as perfect as it gets man!! Wow!
Thank You Aaron 👍
I enjoy your channel and I have always collected Arrowheads by different ways. I live in North Alabama where there are several dammed up waterways operated or built By TVA ( Tennessee Valley Authority), a Federal government agency. Over the last few years a federal law (s) and some state laws have been past that makes removing artifacts illegal in many areas. Signs are posted on lakes operated by TVA advising people of the law not to remove Indian artifacts. TVA is actively recruiting people to report people and be notified of exposed artifact sites and then the TVA covers these sites up with large rocks Not to say that many people tying their shoe would not be tempted to pick up a $5000.00 Clovis spearhead laying on the ground. For anyone who wants to know more about these laws they could google Federal and State laws prohibiting removal of Indian Artifacts . I do not believe these laws apply to private property.
I don’t understand these laws. We have a similar law, but it only applies to the Islands on the Ohio River. Maybe they’re afraid people are gonna start digging holes and stuff. But, I just don’t see where Surface Hunting hurts anything
Shovel in hand... you head for the shore. Found some nice points... and a little more.
You missed your calling... you should of been an actor. On your next job hunt... that career you should factor.
I love your videos... they make me smile. I know that to make it... it took you awhile.
🤪😉🤛
Got it that time. Nice! It did take a while.👍
@@cleggsadventures first draft was much funnier. But TH-cam has a dry sense of humor.
🤪😉🤛
@@365headhunter3 maybe that’s why. I have trouble sometimes with comments getting added.
@@cleggsadventures if they're from this guy definitely. LMAO
@@cleggsadventures seriously bub, you make excellent videos. It's hard to do with one person. When Jenny is with me its easier to joke around and have fun. But you got the one man show mastered. Keep up the good work. I'm heading out to hunt now. This will be my forth hunt. Hope to find enough to throw a video together tonight. ✌
You found the China Crystal Skull! It was the last missing skull to make up the set of 13 that makes Time Travel.... Teleporting and endless reruns of My Little Margie on you I phone possible. Plus Albert Einstein will come to your house and sing Swanee River acapella. awesome ! Thanks for the adventure.
Thanks William 👍
Awesome day! I’m jealous it’s taken me six months to find that many points walking the fields up here Muskingum county😅
Thank You Mary, Wish I had some fields to walk.👍
You are the man!!
you are a very lucky man nice finds congrats
Thank You, Much Appreciated 👍
Have a question. How would you look for artifacts in a smaller stream? Or better yet in the big cannon river near cannon falls Minnesota? It's in my area and I've looked a lot
I’ve never been there, don’t know the conditions. I have several “how to” videos, maybe a style could be used.
@@cleggsadventures yes you have very good how to video. I've watched almost all of them. But I have put on miles in the shallow rock bars,. Walked the edge of the river there many times and I still get skunked,. Ok thanks for your advice and your great videos
Not sure if anyone has said it, but the barge pulls the water because the weight of the boat. Needs more volume to keep it buoyant
Thanks for that info! I always wondered that. Every time we would fish on bottom for catfish, when a barge would go by, it would pull the line tight and the water would drop a few inches
I used to enjoy working on the towboats on the Ohio River. The powerful props cause big roller wakes behind the boat. That probably causes the sucking away from the bank. Water can be pulled up three and four feet depending on the speed and the river bottom depth.
Always wondered that. I notice the newer boats don’t put out as big of waves as the older ones. I heard that was 30 days on 30 days off.
Greetings Clegg, new to your site, what is your opinion on why there are so many marbles prevalent?
Marbles were a big thing back in the day and there were several factories making them in this area. Lots of old houses were along the river, And I believe there was one just above where I usually hunt. I find lots of bottles and rusted metal in there also. If you can locate an old small town dump, you can find a lot of them. Thanks for watching James and thanks for the comment. Much Appreciated 👍
thank you for the great show. Like it when you stop to look at the ground hog hole, or was it a racoon den?? And the geese, thanks for showin them. Protect our trees. Dont cut live old growth trees. Trees give us so much, the air we breathe, shade on a warm day and they help keep the earth cool and moist. We could not build our homes and cities w/o trees. Our earth would be like a dessert w/o trees. All trees are trees of life.
Thanks Jay!
Awesome 😎👍👍
Thanks ✌️Charlie
My ex and my cousin were knappers and we went to flint ridge and collected some flint. It was fun and the arrowheads they made are beautiful
Cool! I’ve never been there yet, but I seen videos.
Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️ 🌍
..
Hi Back!👍
So, no joke here. I was watching your videos earlier today and I commented that never had found an arrow head. I decided to go to river and take my screen. I found an arrow head!!!! Going back tomorrow to see what else I can find!!!!
Awesome! Hard to tell what will come out.
16:50 you had me laughing my ass off.
Thanks NA!
I admire your site. Come to maine. We have the red paint people.
Much Appreciated
.Cultural vestiges of different stages in the history of the different groups, indigenous, colonizers and contemporaries. Good video my friend and beautiful places.
Thanks much!👍
Marbles were likely used as slingshot ammo from kids over the years,anything that size and halfway round work good,probably why some are broken in half
Not sure if you were already told why the water lowers when barges come through yet. But they pull the water into the engine to cool them. I was told about it when I was in kayaking the inlets down at the beach maybe 20 years ago lol
Thanks for the info Bradley. Strange how it works as they pass by.👍
I just found your channel the other day and I love what I've seen. Honestly, I would love to take you to my secret Arrowhead spot. I bet you have some awesome tips and ideas relevant to the landscape in my area. Also, I want to get what I can out of it before they put houses there or no trespassing signs pop-up. I've only ever told two people about this spot. It produces some real nice old stuff. I want to say mostly archaic Native American artifacts. The rest of it is from the 1850s and up. Mostly bottles and Barnwood. Let me know if you want to check it out.
Thank You Much! Welcome aboard! Where ya located?
@@cleggsadventures Southern Maryland. Right between the Potomac and the Patuxent Rivers. Arrowheads everywhere.
@@cleggsadventures I'm pretty sure my secret spot is an old hunting camp that was probably a plowed field 100 years ago. Haven't really looked up the history of the land on a map. I'm just basing that on what I have found back there and how close to the surface the arrowheads are up on the flat land away from the creek. Ihunt four-wheeler trails and root balls mostly. I mean, I'm no expert. But, flakes seemed to be concentrated in certain spots mostly on the edges of the flat area. It might all be near the top because we have sandy soil here. I could use the advice of an expert. Honestly, I just don't trust anybody around here because I don't the word to get out and my spot blown up. It's really easy for a bunch of Knuckleheads to be into arrowheads for a week and then leave because they don't know what they're looking for anyway. That would ruin everything.
Yea, you’re probably 5 hours from me. Hard for me to get away, work a lot. Hence so few videos. Appreciate the offer
You should post some videos of it. Wish we had sandy soil here. Sand on the river beaches but other than that, just mud
Thank you for your service
Much Appreciated Donald!👍
Fun..!
THX
All these marble! Has to be somewhere near Paden City! I still have a collection somewhere from all the marbles I collected near the plant and river. Always was a find see which I dug up next!
Not far from the marble creek.
@cleggsadventures Nice! Spent many evenings at the creek digging up marbles! Love the videos and even better it's someone local! Super cool!
It really makes you wonder just how many points were found and reshaped or reused? They keep backing up how long people have been here, so a 6k year-old spear point might have been used by dozens of people and changed over the centuries.
I think the same. They had to have found them in creeks.
That blue one could be rare... i have some that look like those that my daddy had... he was born in 1924... nice one there the arrow head... i have all my dads marbles but no blue. One
Thanks Terry 👍
I wonder if the natives hunted for old arrowheads so they can use them and save time from having to make one?
Doubt they looked but I’m sure they ran across a few
What did they use marbles for im curious. Cuz I figured they could be really old
Games and toys. Now they’re in spray paint cans
I'm curious what were the purpose of the marbles,was it for the indian kids to play with like we did when we were little?
There used to be an old 1800’s house just above. I get everything from 10,000 years ago till modern time. Found several old bottles and things in there too.
That’s a killer beveled bird point! ❤
Much Appreciated
What does someone actually use those dart points for ? I mean, how much "game" was there to kill 3,000 yrs ago in that area ? With all your finds, it's amazing they made so many points...arrowheads too.
That one marble might be a bennington
I think you’re right 👍
Selamat siang semangat dihari yang cerah
Were the modern glass marbles used as slingshot ammo?
I’ve used a few for that
THAT ENDING - LMAO!!!
Did ya jump? 👍
@@cleggsadventures - Yup, just a little! LOL!
loads of finds.
Thank You, it was a great day for sure.👍
Why is he finding so many marbles? I don’t understand how they even get there. Did people drop them in the river? Cool videos btw!
There were and still are houses on the field above.
There is a man in W V. that has a marble shop and still makes marbles.
I"m willing to bet those marbles came down river from the Marble King.
... a long time ago. Lols
Could be
The pieces you call “ bird points” are much bigger than the ones we find here in Missouri. Those you’re calling bird points we’d call arrowheads, in the truest sense. That beauty would be on an arrow shaft with a bow.
Yes, I’m using the term “Bird Point” referring to tips coming from an arrow rather than a dart.👍
When there’s a tsunami water is pulled off the beach then the big wave comes in. On a small scale when a barge goes by it’s like a mini tsunami. Water is pulled out then the waves come in.
Wow!
Thanks David👍
I grew up in Bridgeport WV..There used to be a large marble factory there right next to Benedum library and the public pool on Rt 50..My friends and I went inside a couple times as it was in the process of being shut down. It was torn down around 1973.That place had 5×5 wood stalls about 2 or 3 ft deep with every size and color of marble you can imagine sorted in each stall..we helped ourselves😂...anyway chances are your marbles you're finding were made there
The good ol days!
I love your channel brother..! I wish I knew about artifact hunting back then when I lived in WV..there must be millions of them in that river..I actually still have about 20 of those marbles..yeah they were good old days for us but not so much for many glass companies like that one in WV..I can remember my friends and I were very bummed to one day see that old as hell marble factory razed to the ground and hauled away. Thanks for the interesting videos..!
@@jc9054 They still make them in Paden City. Probably most go in paint cans
@@cleggsadventures oh really..didn't know about that factory..then I imagine that's where yours are from..maybe a boat load of em sunk in the river..you sure seem to find many.
Kinda the Jerry Lewis of artifact hunting😂😂😂.
I’ve been called Super Dave
Dang someone lost their marbles….and it wasn’t you lol. Cool finds
Thanks Brother! I’m losing my marbles sometimes I think
There don't appear to be many small round stones in the area. Could the marbles have been used for ammunition for a sling shot hunting ducks? Surely kids weren't playing marbles on the shore.
This stuff isn’t lost on the shore. It’s lost on the flat field above. The river knocks parts of the field away each big flood, ultimately it washes to the beach below. Everything from 10,000 years to modern
Love the jacket go army
Right On!💪👍
What a great day thus is! I'd been doin happy dances! Lol...
Thank you Much!👍
You’ve gotta be kidding me!!
Maybe the new catch phrase
