Hi Randy I like your videos allot. I myself hunt for Arrowheads I field hunt most of the time but will get in a. Creek once in awhile . I find early stuff as well as Adina's woodland and missippian I'm going to try and do the creek digging all though I do have back trouble so it won't be easy . The way you explained about the types is very informative thank you for teaching everyone about the types and time periods you did a great job happy hunting you guys keep the videos coming thanks again Ken
Excellent vid Spike!! And fantastic job to you Randy!! Very informative with great examples for reference!! This is no doubt a fantastic and efficient method of educating those interested in learning about these artifacts and their use and origins. These segments are a nice addition to the hunting videos and provide a more in-depth, detailed explanation and description of the items we find. Big thumbs up my friends!! 👍🏻
Thanks Mike! When we first met yall all we knew was whether they were pretty or not. We know a little more now and it just seems right to pass on what we have learned from you guys and others. Thanks for everything my friend. See you real soon!
Great information video fellers. 😎🤘🇺🇸 the wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her I didn't want anything but I'd take a new HBR or PBR hoodie. She's ordering 2. One fer me and one fer her. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours 😎🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing and being humble in regards to not be an expert on all the lithic points and material . I live near a known site in north of Houston. I'm convinced that the Native Americans flourished and thrived here. I find a whole variety if nutting stones. Based on the shear volume, I suspect, during the appropriate season, these stones were critical for subsistence. I wish these stones would get the respect and acknowledgement they deserve.
#HeartbreakerRelics Do you know anything about the turqoise trade beads? We found them in a cave on the Tennessee river in southeast TN. In meigs county,TN, on watts bar lake to be exact.

Have you done a video on nutting stones yet ? If so I missed it . I have always heard them called nutting stones . But , my theory on them is this . A friend of mine that is a flint napper uses a brick to do his pressure flaking on . It now has dimples in it at different depths . Looks just like the dimples in a nutting stone . Also many nutting stones show use as hammers on the sides, another hint that they were used in the manufacture of flaked tools . You answered my question about a minute ago .
We are if the same thought on the nutting stones, especially the small ones. They are most likely anvils used in the pressure flaking as you said. Take care Cliff.
Well, that just lit my bulb! I have a huge stone that has an approximate 12"x12" surface area that is covered with dimples on one side with about half as many on the other. The majority of them are uniform in size and they're the only reason I noticed it at all because it looked like a giant stone die lying there among the rocks as if it had rolled away from the old gods while they threw dice on the mountain top long ago. It weighs about 25-30 lbs. Interestingly, it was on private property in a mountainous area of Tennessee and the friends who owned it said they'd also discovered a cave on the property that still contained artifacts such as pottery and tools. Few were told about the cave and none were told the location as they wanted it to remain as they'd found it. My stone is so odd looking I couldn't imagine how or why it had been used like it had, but your comment makes the most sense of any I've heard so far. Thanks for sharing.
We had the opportunity to hunt a couple caves or rock shelters years ago. We did find anything mainly because we didn't know what we were doing. Keep going and good luck.
Awesome video! Very informative! But something doesn't make a lot of sense to me,,, why would they make a blade to be used for a knife with sharpened on both sides? It would make more sense to only sharpen one side and leave the other side flat,, to put a finger on,, like our skinning/cutting knives of today.
Good question. Many blades were ground on one side or were ground on the end for hafting. Some have even suggested they may have been held with a piece of leather like a glove.
Gives you 2 cutting edges also, so if one side dulls or breaks during use, you don't have to re-sharpen as often. Only my thoughts. I could very well be wrong.
There's no substitute for experience but maybe these little videos will help someone understand better. I wish I had something like this years ago. I wouldn't be so far behind now lol. Spike
They didn’t have any records. Especially considering all these artifacts were made millennia ago, by people who were merely ancient ancestors of the later natives.
Very informative video. Can the different points or artifacts you all find be traced back to one group or tribe of Native Americans.... like does a Collins belong to this group or does a Gary belong to that group??? Thanks for the video you guys always do a great job. Keep diggin and siftin GOD BLESS
Thanks. It all goes back to a video we dropped a few weeks ago. These were pre-Columbian groups for the most part. There are no records of group structure before then. We don't know if they had tribes or groups or even what they would have called themselves.
I really love y’all’s videos please don’t don’t say (bp) Cause we are in ad (Anno Domini) (AD) Anno Domini I’m the year of the lord that day that pure beloved god/Jesus Christ was born….
@@HeartbreakerRelics oh no I understand 100% god bless you all and keep making the videos I love them I’m here in southern ky the hunting is really hard right on the tn and ky central line
We buy our frames from different manufacturers such as T&B Case Co. and Hatchet Creek Cases. We also get some from Hobby Lobby. They are held in the case by the friction between the glass and the foam backing.
@@HeartbreakerRelics nice! I have literally buckets of arrowheads + artifacts that I found in Washington state.. some day want to display them. Thanks👍 😊
Awesome information Randy!! And Spike, thanks again for your advice on digging - it really paid off for me yesterday!! If you have a moment check out my new dig, I found lots of cool stuff. Thanks again for your videos, you guys are inspiring! Have a great day 😎
Whats the smallest point yall have ever found? I ask because i have some smaller than a penny and i would love to share them with yall mostly for information.
What exactly was a bannerstone used for? I’ve heard that they were on atlatl spears but if they were on them wouldn’t the spear be unbalanced and hrder to throw?
Do you have a email address, I got a few artifacts I would like your opinion on. I’ve got several hand axes I found. I think they are Pieces they might have used for Worship or Special.
One of the rocks I do not see you have is Hematite, not even carried in from another parts of the country!!! Most of the Native Americans in the north were Creek Indians because live on the Creeks and River systems... Very similar, like Spike is talking about!!! This series in my mind is a Great Idea.... but I wonder if you not talking to mostly to others with knowledge like your self and a minority of others...... Me, I am one the minority others!!!!
Thanks Stan. You're right we do not have a lot of hematite show up down here. It's not natural so would have to be brought in. We're trying to relate to those with little knowledge in the area but we do miss the boat on that at times.
imo i dont believe any arrowheads were arrowheads. i think they were all cutting blades. to spend the time it takes to make a point and then shoot it into the dirt, hit a rock and break it, when a sharp stick will work, makes no sense to me. i heard somewhere that when the explorers came to this country the native indians did not have points on their arrows. are there any arrows or darts that have been found with pionts on them? i dont mean ceremonial spears and things.
Great video, but that shirt is awesome.
Thanks! lol Wondered how long it was going to take to get a comment on it.
Thank You.

Would like to see different sizing of points vs. arrowheads.
I would love to know what is a good place to look and start cave hunting and stuff. I am new but I have looked in a few caves but nothing there
We had the opportunity to hunt a couple caves or rock shelters years ago. We did find anything mainly because we didn't know what we were doing. Keep going and good luck.
Why is everything y’all 😂😂
Why not?
Were points made out of Quartz…? I found a sure shaped point yesterday made out of white quartz, in the North GA area.
Yes, in Georgia quartz was one of the primary materials used for points.
What is the map you use that tells you the different rock
Awesome video! Very informative!

I am glad that you said we don't know what was what, and it's totally our ancestors fault for destroying the record that were kept by the Natives
They didn’t have any records. Especially considering all these artifacts were made millennia ago, by people who were merely ancient ancestors of the later natives.
Who are you referring to as “our ancestors”?
These points are crude , we find real nice points in Colorado
I'm so happy for you.
Do y’all have any points from Harrison County Mississippi if so I would love one of my collection
As a matter of fact we do not. We have not found one point in Harrison county.
Very informative video. Can the different points or artifacts you all find be traced back to one group or tribe of Native Americans.... like does a Collins belong to this group or does a Gary belong to that group???

We buy our frames from different manufacturers such as T&B Case Co. and Hatchet Creek Cases. We also get some from Hobby Lobby. They are held in the case by the friction between the glass and the foam backing.
@@HeartbreakerRelics nice! I have literally buckets of arrowheads + artifacts that I found in Washington state.. some day want to display them. Thanks👍 😊
How can I tell if my artifact Is an actual Clovis?
I hear people pronounce
" atl'atl"
But the correct way to pronounce it would be
"at'latl"
Awesome information Randy!! And Spike, thanks again for your advice on digging - it really paid off for me yesterday!! If you have a moment check out my new dig, I found lots of cool stuff. Thanks again for your videos, you guys are inspiring! Have a great day 😎
Thanks! That is awesome! I'm going to try to catch up on some of your stuff tonight.
Whats the smallest point yall have ever found? I ask because i have some smaller than a penny and i would love to share them with yall mostly for information.
We found one in Catahoula parish Louisiana I think it was, that would fit on a dime.
They are amazing, arent they
I wonder what the purpose of them were. Any ideas?
What exactly was a bannerstone used for? I’ve heard that they were on atlatl spears but if they were on them wouldn’t the spear be unbalanced and hrder to throw?
Banner stones were not used as additional weight on a atlatl. It was used as a tool.
They were used as counter weight on the atlatl, the throwing handle. We plan on doing a video on the atlatl soon.
That’s a knife y’all 😅😅
I definitely think they used spears really early on then evolved from there.
We tend to agree.
Do you have a email address, I got a few artifacts I would like your opinion on. I’ve got several hand axes I found. I think they are Pieces they might have used for Worship or Special.
Are you guys into Native American culture as a whole or just like collecting artifacts?
They kind of both go hand in hand. Our interest mostly lies in the pre-Columbian culture though.
One of the rocks I do not see you have is Hematite, not even carried in from another parts of the country!!!
