Really enjoying your adventures. With that much lithic material there has to be points around. Visualize what that area was like thousands of years ago. Hunters would have stalked animals drinking along the shoreline of that ancient lake. Many of the atl atls thrown would have missed their mark being lost forever in the water. Multiply that scenario repeating over thousands of years. There has to be thousands of spears around that shoreline. Most are buried forever by now but some may remain. I'd spend some time around that shoreline.... if it's still visible. Good luck!
Wow! Great finds of spear points, arrow heads and points, butchering and scraping tools! This was an intriguing trip to what was obviously serious hunting grounds. Thanks for sharing!
The piece at 12:10 is spectacular. This looks like the time frame where they're losing the Clovis point skills. No longer able to make the bleed chanel.
That is a western stemmed type or tradition point, they have been dated as old or older than clovis type points. They are more common in the great basin than clovis
The tools that you call scrapers may have also served as a knives and choppers. Like some of our modern tools that we use as multi-function, they would have tended to do the same thing, in my opinion.
Fun video! Any idea where the obsidian comes from? I wish you'd turned over some of the geoglyph stones to see if there was a difference in the desert varnish. I've had good luck looking around the largest trees or biggest stumps (cedars and bristlecones) to find knapping areas. Shade was a commodity on hot days.

Enlightened collectors leave them in place and take a photo. It's way more fun that way. Glad to see you're one of us.
Where is the obsidian found to make tools etc with?
Locally. That's why this area is covered with lithics. It was a major tool production spot.

Amazing...you've a got a new subscriber here....I appreciate you sharing this experience!!!!
Have found plenty of obsidian, Jasper, Agate rock flakes. Love it.
I used to find a lot of them in California.
So awesome. I can only imagine the feeling when you find these things. I’d probably cry if I ever did. lol
If on private land in Utah you can keep surface finds ! 😊
super cool, thanks for sharing!

Nice finds. I am interested if you found any archaic points, or possibly a Clovis ?
Love the artifact hunt! Happen to have a video on Lovelock caves in Nv??
No, haven't been there yet but am familiar with the story of what might have occurred there. Very interesting indeed!

It was collected locally. Yes, that geoglyph was interesting. I'm under the impression it has some age due to the design and location.
Keep them coming....I feast on new content!
Cool
Cool stuff! thanks again!
Where did they find the obsidian to make tools?
It was collected locally, the area is (was) volcanic.
awesome!
