- My walk to my turn around spot wasn't so successful, but on the way back I pick up a awesome knife made from quartzite. It was laying just as you see it..i still dunno how I missed it!
Good finds👍
Nice finds keep on rocking I'm in Bama too I haven't got out much due to the heat but it's time new sub
Congrats!! Great video glad you could share the adventure!
When in doubt call it a scraper.
And when it doubt… it is broken,
Great video. That’s a sweet blade you found. Congratulations. Man, that is some gorgeous material you find. Gonna try my luck tomorrow. Maybe I’ll have something to post. More of a scouting trip, but you know how those can turn out. Thanks for sharing. Happy Hunting to Ya
NOTJUSTROCKS I am lucky to have multi colored quartzite in my area. Never know what color might turn up lol.. I definitely know what you mean about scouting a new area. My best trip/hunt was a scouting trip lol. Hope you find some good ones. Thanks f0r watching friend
AL334 CreekWalker It was a crazy day. Walked for miles and would find one flake and a broken piece then nothing else in the area. Hahaha. Did find those few brokes though. The problem with this property is that there are no plowed areas. I was having to just walk the roads through the woods. Gotta be more somewhere.
Cool video and beautiful scenery
Pretty material and really good size on that blade!! Very nice stuff indeed!! Zach and I will be back at it tomorrow and will be breaking ground on that peninsula!! I’m chompin at the bit!! Lol! Great job buddy and keep it up!!
PineBeltRelics thanks for watching friend, I was very happy with that find and usually don't find them that big. I'm lucky to have different colors of quartzite in my area. Hope u find some killers next time out...Walking a long stretch of the same creek tomorrow so hopefully I'll find more!
creeks are the way to go for nice finds
Some great colored material brother. It’s easy to miss a rock among a million other rocks, things gotta line up just right. I’d hate to think about the points I have walked right past and probably even stepped on. Creek hunting to me is as tough as it gets 👍🇺🇸
Smoke eater thanks for watching, I'm lucky to have different colors of quartzite in my area for sure, and i think about how many I miss all the time too lol! A lot of rocks to look at sometimes!
That's a big ole blade ! Very nice artifact .
ALABAMAHEADHUNTER big ole blade indeed, was lucky to save that one..i usually find those broke and not that pretty. Thanks for watching friend..miss your videos man, hope you find some good stuff soon!
Awesome finds man!
That's awesome. I hope one day I find some. Sadly can't look long at a time. But if I can get my wheel chair there I'll Shur look. But good finds. Thanks for sharing god bless
Danny Schwab Thanks for watching and the comment. There's gonna be one out there waiting on you one day!
AL334 CreekWalker thanks hope so. God bless
You got some pretty material down south there. That's a hefty blade for sure!
Preston Bros MO Arrowheads Thanks friend, lucky to have the multi colored quartzite in my area. Was happy with that find! Good luck next time out
Good stuff my friend...deer season has my point hunting on hold til February
Scott Hudson thanks for watching friend, been having a slow start but I'll take what I get. I too am waiting on deer season to end in Feb. so I can get in some other creeks, this is the only creek i can walk during deer season. Good luck next time out
Nice find's !!!!!
That's a hog blade! Crazy colors in your area too. Good job. I nailed a nice Adena(Beaverton style) yesterday. Just a very small tip nick. Today was a tool day. Found two. If I had your FB. I'd send you a pic. Thanks for sharing
Ptown Rockhound thanks for watching friend. Was happy to save that big colorful blade for sure.

AL334 CreekWalker, couldn't find your FB under your name.
My profile picture is a pic of me in a red hammock.
I can try to search ur name..
No major flooding this winter in my area
that was a nice blade/preform, best wishes hunting
Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures thanks for watching friend. I was very happy with this find, thanks for watching. Good luck next time out
How do you find them so easy almost a ton of other rocks!??? Certain shape or color or edge to look for?
William Kilmartin you are correct... edge work, color mainly, shape, a rock that stands out. I don't walk in a straight line, I zig zag among the rock bars to cover ground.
My luck with finding arrow heads is like my luck finding mushrooms.
Divine Friend hang in there friend. Took me almost a year to find a good creek, and I started hunting plowed fields and clear cuts next to creeks/rivers. Try and find an old indian map of your state/area too.. they can be helpful to pin point a location, as can Google maps...good luck
nice thank's for sharing
brian balla thanks for watching and the comment!
Nice knife blade. Looks whole to me. It looked like the rind or cortex is there at the base.
RedWolfArtifacts Thanks...I agree, looks like it has a slight angle on the base that was worked.. u can see it after I cleaned it up. Thanks for watching!
how did they choose the rocks? there are a lot of red/ rose color artifacts you found?
Great finds, Enjoyed the video. Subbed for more. ATB
Thanks for the sub, subbed back! Check out my newest videos..i find some good stuff! Thanks for watching
Could be an Indian fondue Fork? Or scraper
nice knife!! :-)
Creighton Workman Thanks, was happy to save that artifact. Thanks for watching and the comment.
do you only hunt Alabama ? thats an awesome color what type of flint is that ? got you subbed in brother thanks for sharing
Hambone's Adventures yes central Alabama. Most of my finds are made from differnt types of quartz and quartzite mainly. Thanks for the subb and comment...I enjoy sharing my finds so keep watching!
nice. I'd like to do this. any advice
At 4:12 look in center of screen 2” about the big rock! Point
Calvin's Corner72 dang..dang...that does look like a point! I'm sure I would have seen that but then again I was walking all over them that day lol. Thanks for watching a the comment! Good luck next time out!
AL334 CreekWalker Awesome I hope you find it. Thanks good luck
Best job in Georgia video but I have to tell you you're missing some absolutely beautiful pieces of petrified wood when you found that knife right above it was a petrified Branch it was very easy to tell us petrified wood
Joe Kennon ive seen some pet wood in there. I leave them for my buddy that collects it. I've picked up some pretty stuff out of this creek tho! Thanks for watching
GREAT, video is, but who in heck is UALL?????
It's a southern thing I rekon. Thanks for watching
Is that the saugahatchee Creek? I live near Martin dam & find a few points on the lake shore
John Sullivan it's a feeder creek for saugahatchee. I have found some on the lake banks too near the mouth of the river when I was a kid. Thanks for watching, subscribe and u can see all my vids
What part of the country did you find this st. And what creek.
I'm looking through some of my past finds as I watch.....they're made of similar flint and come from Carter County near Carter Caves!
Hollis Quartzite/ quartz/ and coastal plains chert is the main material in my area they used.
Let a Native choose between the finest point and an unused node of flint and he will pick the unused node every time. A finished point is like a lit match, whereas a lump of knappable stone is like a fresh box. When you are out there, keep an eye out for pigmentation and animal and face effigies, and any rocks with tiny holes or triangular chisel marks. some of the pre-forms are awesome, and decorated extensively.
Jonathan Ryals very well said...still looking for a effigy..maybe one day! Thanks for the look
AL334 CreekWalker take a look at those scrapers, I believe they are modified to have faces, and probably animals. look for nicks and accentuation, especially where eyes, nose, and mouth would be. if you want, I'll grab a screenshot and outline some of the forms I believe you have already.
Peter Olmos, yeah, I was a bit melodramatic there... I feel under normal conditions the node will have more trade value though, unless the point is special in some way. I'm assuming they would be able to make the similar point and several more from the node easily, in that case I'm confident they would take the raw material.
Though I guess you mean because you'd personally rather have a point, well, I can't argue with that...
It happens all the time... we have eyes like doves... and truely only focus on one spot at a time. Multiplied thousands a minute!
Ancient Life very true! Well said my friend!
Killer site. Wish my state would let us hunt points! All we can do is look at the surface and no touch : /
Thanks for watching. What state are you in? That sounds like our federal lands law. We just can't hunt on federal/government owened lands.
:50 you missed a cool knife to the right of the one you found !!!!!😕
Kurt McKelvey it does kinda look like it! More for me to find later 😊. Thanks for watching
Negative I think it’s limestone
Take another look at 4:56
Them are knife blades
With that pretty material it would be too easy to get blind to other colors.
Mark Shulaw by hour 2..im definitely going blind lol. Thanks for watching
Congrats on the finds! Are you from bama?
southern diggers thanks for the watch and yes Alabama...Lee,Macon,Montgomery counties.
I have got a question why do people always find heads at creeks and rivers that look like people goto all the time
TheFuture AirMen because the people at that creek fishing or at the swimming hole aren't looking for them! Although I found my first creek point while fishing tho lol. Thanks for watching
AL334 CreekWalker cool thanks for responding I'll keep that in mind next time I'm out hunting
If you re look at the video you missed 4 different spear points right in plain view! it tears my nerves up LOL!!
I hope i didn't, the creeks are full of fakers tho!! Ull think u found something nice but end up picking up a serrated leaf lol. Thanks for watching
This guy is missing the mark ...he is at awesome place to make a makeshift screen box ..then with water going that fast ..OMG ..
Working on making one as we speak...Going to sift through this creek and a few others after hunting season ends so stay tuned
i cant beleave they would loose arrowheads like that why there tools why would they just be lying around
Dennis Peck yup they did loose them for sure, they made a lot per day and probably had rock material with them to make on the fly when they lost or broke a arrowhead or tool.
In my opinion how they get in the creek is lost while spear fishing, and the major factor is erosion over time on a creek that had a lot of villages along the creek.
Thanks for watching
We got lots hear in AZ.i think alot of the time when they are big and unfinished,the maker didnt like how it was going and went"dammit"and tossed it.alot of broken ones are the majority.nonthless its so gratifying finding something from long ago was worked for every reason to live.i love the finds all of them.then every once in a while you find a perfect one.was it used in a hunt or attackor lost?
Happy hunting and give thanks to theyre spirits.no curses wanted
Everything is a scraper. hahahahaha NOT
Unless that creek was by a Indian came you wouldn't find Shit creeks are the worst place to hunt arrow heads if you do find something it's gonna be broke big waste of time. Find a hill in the woods rake the leaves of of it before it rains that's how you find them or plowed fields. Don't waste your time in creeks
Jeff Lynch man, honestly I find just as many brokes in a clear cut or plowed field from the machinery as I do the creek..i just enjoy creek walking. This creek has had many camp sites along the creek through time from archaic time period on up.
I have thought about taking a rake to the property hill/ridge tops too. I have permission to dig there too. Might not be a bad idea to narrow down a good dig site
