I showed your video in class (6th grade) as we studied artifacts and the Native Americans. The one with the snow cone syrup! Then I bought the Overstreet Guide to Arrowheads. I am going to start local searching and am detailing the process for the kids. Goal is for me to find something before the end of the school year. Located in eastern WV and I can feel those points all around here.
@@teressa2970 Heck, I'm about his age, feel about fifty years older than he acts & I think it's perfect educational content! Sadly I live at the bottom of what was the glacial Lake Agassiz. In this particular region it's entirely hard packed clay so these methods would be very difficult to implement.
I recently discovered this channel and realized that I have seriously messed up. My late father in law was a talented and well known flint knapper. He was also an avid student of archaic tools and participated by invitation to participate in Corp of Engineers archaeological digs of ancient campsites near impoundments. I wish I had spent more time listening to him and shared more in his enthusiasm over finding another piece of "worked" high ridge or Cobden flint, chert flakes or his excitement exclaiming "now this was someones favorite pecking stone". He was disappointed when no-till farming became the norm and he couldn't go out and walk the freshly worked up fields in the hilly creek bottoms after a hard rain.It wasn't uncommon for a disc blade to hit a ax head or a point to embed itself in a tractor tire. TH-cam was before his time but I'm positive he would have really enjoyed this channel.
Another great adventure!!! When I was a kid, I picked rocks out of my Dads fields during the summer. All those hours I only found one arrowhead. But wow, what a find, so beautiful and wildly exciting. Now approaching retirement, I’m so ready to hit some remote river banks and start searching for more. Thanks for all your hard work!!!
You said "switch" and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. My momma used to whip us with one of those, and that was for being good. You don't wanna know what she did when we was bad.
Your imagination is out of bounds and brings me such joy and laughter, Scott. This is part of your charm! Of course your finds and how to find them is so very interesting, as well as the info., you impart. Where’s that bucket?! 😂😂😂 Rocky…Rocky! Fun character.🤪😜😉
I just watched about 6 of your videos earlier and was hoping you were going to post again sometime soon, I love your videos on spear heads and artifacts
I enjoy your videos. Love the artifacts you found here,, that river is full of Indian artifacts. Thanks for sharing with us. I hadn't seen you in awhile, maybe I missed your uploads.
Great job as usual Scott! That was a nice wood point too! We got to use an atlatl at a demo at the Etowah Indian mounds here in NW Georgia several years ago and I was amazed at the velocity of the dart. Keep sifting Brother 🙂
I believe its a combination of the stick creating a boundary and it softens the mud around the stick which creates a pocket for heavier objects to get stuck in. Very similar panning for gold. A good test would be to also dig out a hole in front of the stick, let it fill with soft mud. Maybe even try it with multiple sticks together.
Well that's the damndest thing I ever seen.... an arrowhead huntin stick that finds em for ya!! Wish I had one about 30 yrs ago, would of saved me a lot of walking! Great vid, nice finds, thanks for sharing 👍
Sir I love your enthusiasm and your wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it! Im 47 and just found my 1st point a few years ago after 3 years of wandering fields in central Illinois and west to the Illinois River and the Mississippi River. And found my 1st one a mile from my house near the Sangamon River. Go figure, Its the most addictive hobby Ive ever tried and time in the fields, creeks and rivers is mental relaxation at its best! Thanks again for taking the time to video and edit and all it takes to put out the quality that you do!
@@cleggsadventures I’m a new fan of yours. I just moved near the Ohio River and I would love to get to looking for artifacts on the banks of the Ohio. I wish I could find a group in the Monaca 15061 PA area to hunt with.
You did well Mr.Clegg. Felt like deja vu though. But both Stick videos were fun as always. You just have a way of making it all fun. Thank you for quality brother. Thank you for educating and entertaining. Many blessings Sir.
@@cleggsadventures I hope people understand just how many screens you did in between the finds. We don't have big rivers here but I really like this concept.
Big fan here! Your videos have taught me so much. Some I have watched over and over, hitting pause to compare my points to yours, learning about materials, and of course to scan the sifter hoping to spot the prize before you say “it’s just here”. I’m waay better than I used to be. What can you teach me about impact fractures? You should do a video to explain what they look like. Do impacts cause breaks or cracks and what the heck’s a fire pop?? I’ve got so much to learn. Thanks for helping!
Really cool video, Clegg! I loved seeing that atlatl in action too. I would love to try this stick method sometime but the spots I hunt are hunted by so many other people I'm afraid they'd pull the sticks up, haha
Yeah, I had to check them every few days, make sure they were still there. I think this only works on dammed rivers, maybe a lake that goes up and down often
Sweet!! Nice haul!! Been checking every day for a new video. I was guessing maybe the river was high after all that rain we had. Imagine what would happen if you put a long board and pegged it on each side with sticks to see how much it collects.
It didn’t get high, I think the dry ground soaked most of the water. Might work, as long as you could keep it down somehow. Has to be something that will stay in place
I grew up in Southern Idaho and my Summer Job in my early years was spent in Northern Nevada. We would go on camping trips and raft trips along the little Salmon river. Historically Salmon used to swim this river. The Paiute Indians Blackfeet. One trip we found an encampment and the fire pits. Around these area were hundreds of obsidian flakes and we found many arrow heads and spear points. In the 70s mind you the indigenous people were there just 100 years and less. On the ranch we knew of several Burial sights that are now protected sights. But my friend who originally discovered mmany of these remote sights. Found a Jasper Eagle that the medicine man wore on there neck. As ell as many other artifacts.He now has a museum near the Idaho Nevada boarder on Highway 93. South of holster Idaho. In Idaho now if you find an artifact you are required by law to take a gps coordinates and notify UofIdaho. But many of these locations even today are in so remote areas. I feel like they should be picked up and preserved wheather in private collections or given or sold in museum. I found an arrow shaft shot into a several hundred year old tree. We cut it out of the tree. And the arrow head and the tendons still conecceted to the arrow shaft. It was dated to be 300 to 500 years old, pretty cool. I gave it to the herrett.csi.edu. here is the address to partify.io/jerry-lee-youngs-idaho-heritage-museum
I'm a new Sub! My entire life, i've wanted to "find" an arrowhead but never knew anything about where to look, etc so life went on. BUT, i have a mere 5.5 acres in South AL, nowhere near any creek or water and the other day we had a heavy rain, i was out front looking for my little chipmunks to give them a treat and as i walked by a 150 yr old plus, pecan tree, my eye caught the shape of one laying at the base. I picked up this "point" and assumed it was just an arrow head that had a broken off bottom part but by watching you, i believe it's the throwing kind of point. I don't recognize the stone it's made out of...it's not flint. I was so excited to find this piece, I want to go looking for more but in South AL, i wouldn't dare go near any water edge...we have some big gators all over! You're lucky to have access to such a place! i'm as excited watching you as if i am finding those pieces myself! you're so fun to watch. I love it! I do wonder however how this point came to be on my land with no water around? wild! I want to learn about all the different kinds so i'll need to binge watch you...Thank you for teaching us! It looks SO FUN!!
Hey, Much Appreciated! I think there may be a few channels that hunt in your state. I have several how-to videos on where to look and what to look for. Any erosion where you think people would have lived. Flat spots and fields near water
@@cleggsadventures there might be some channels from my state to watch but i already know they won't be near as entertaining as you! i'll stick with you...thanks so much! i've been binging you. i'm learning!
You’re channel seems to be growing in popularity (I think)…that’s awesome, I’m happy for you. I keep waiting for a video where you’ve taught your old hound dog to sniff them out for you.
Great videos, very informative. Question how often do you run across path marking stones that have painted symbols on them? I found some deer trek symbols in red but it also has 2 small blue circles connected to a longer blue oval. ( would this be a map of the hunt area possibly)
Man thats alot of flint you found there. 3 or 4 really nice ones too. Man that one with the white had beautiful flaking. I can't imagine what all your going to get into the more you dig. Get the young nephew to move some dirt and haul them mill stones out for you. Keep digging my Friend, God Bless.
Yours and Tillers messages got mixed up. Was just about to message you about the stick trick and saw what I had done. Good video as usual, always enjoy your post, Thanks my Friend. Also thanks for the sub, and following my little adventures 👍
Yo Clegg!! Where are you at in West by God? You ain't gonna believe this!.......I live in Doddridge County, near West Union, maybe 45 minutes from the river, and also have property in Tyler County.. I would LOVE to join you one day on your Ohio River adventures. I am Native American, Oglala Lakota to be exact. I have tried my hand at flint knapping, and it is MUCH harder than it looks. I'm sure we would have lots of stories to swap. If you would be interested in having some company on the river beach one weekend, let me know and we can arrange it. Love your videos!!
Got a few questions. Really appreciate seeing the time you put into replying to comments! 1. As far as securing permission to search a section of riverbank, I wouldn't know who to ask. It seems so much of what's near me may be company owned. How do you find out? 2. Where do you buy your boots?
I actually know the people that own where I look. But, I know there are apps for your phone ( hunting apps) that give the owners names. Maps with boundaries and owners. There’s one called “onX Hunt” it works well. The boots are “Muck” brand. Tractor supply
Outstanding hunt, my friend! Hey, have you thought about placing a row of a dozen or so sticks, about a foot apart? I bet that you could create a LINE of flint that would be LOADED!!!
How about driving a couple of stakes in the water and running a piece of screen between them like that's in your sifter and see if it catches that stuff washing down. If one stick catches stuff a screen should really get a lot. In theory of course.
New subscriber here, I wonder is it legal on the kentucky and Ohio sides of the river to dig and sift like this, I was thinking of trying it around the Greenup Ky pool of the river
the one major flaw in your theory on the sticks collecting artifacts is that you do not check the ground first. In other words, you don't know that they weren't already there. I suspect they were because many times you just take a scoop or shovel and find them. Also I believe the sticks theory would be a lot more viable if there were two or mores sticks side by side. That way they could function like a snow fence (called sand fences at the beach). I do like your videos. I don't see myself as an avid arrowhead collector but I do know now how to go about it. Thanks
The sticks don’t act as a screen, more of a snag. When digging the sticks out, the stone is concentrated around the stick. The farther I get from the stick, the stone gets thin to none. If that much stone was there initially, I wouldn’t be able to push the stick in.
Really enjoying your channel!! Are there any regulations in WV that you have to deal with? Beyond common sense I am curious if mudlarking is limited or regulated in any way by the DNR or other folks? Keep up the good work!!
Hi Clegg. First, congratulations on your educational work in North American history. Do you think your techniques will be successful in finding these points in rivers in South America? Is it necessary to be in a prehistoric site, or is it found in all rivers, because there has always been hunting and human beings? Thanks.
Hey Clegg love your channel..... Im in Monongalia County, can they be found on the Monongalia river banks or just the Ohio River banks? And keep up the good work man....👍
Maybe the sticks cause turbulence which causes the water to wash sand away, and or a disturbance that stops the stones moving with the waves and current, allow a place to collect as you mentioned
I figured out why the other nutting stone posts were being deleted so I’m posting this to correct the issue and to provide more context. While there aren’t any nutting stones in this specific video, as a long time viewer of your channel I’ve always been intrigued by the ones you’ve found in other upIoads. I recently stumbled across a video of a Cherokee man shaping and polishing a stone marble and couldn’t believe what I saw on his work table at about a minute in. Once he started using it I knew I had to share this with everyone. I’ll put a link to it in a reply below in case it gets deleted again.
Yeah, it didn’t make it, but Ive seen the video you’re speaking of. Holding stone in a split shaft and spinning them in a pitted stone. They have several good videos. That is a theory
Much Appreciated! I don’t think, it’s more of a dammed river situation. Here’s the sifter build. Arrowhead Sifter, The Best One To Build. th-cam.com/video/1eY_4oWxZu4/w-d-xo.html
have you ever tried a "picket fence" of sticks? maybe 6 or 8 an inch apart. 1 parallel to waters edge and 1 perpendicular to the edge a little farther away and see if the results vary.
Hey there buddy! That wasn't funny sending me after that nonexisting bucket! I will just bring my own bucket next time!!! 😂 Wow what a day Scott! You absolutely killed! Some amazing recoveries! So from an armchair scientist my opinion is you planted them. 😂😂😂 JK JK I know way better i just couldnt resist pretending to be an armchair scientist! From a fellow artifact collector i believe your theory is correct. I believe the gravel comes from 3/4 of the directions and builds up around the stick and the artifacts do the same and get caughtin the gravel. I say 3/4 of the sides basically from above towards the bank coming down, from river towards the bank from waves and also from up river going down river. You're definitely onto something with the sticks. Image moving them closer together. Im sure you've already thought of that. Well buddy hope all is well! Stay safe my friend! TTYL
Not much current here. At low levels like this, it barely moves. When it’s flooded, it goes about a fest walking speed. But, the level does fluctuate up and down often due to the dams
We’ll never know, but maybe so. I was thinking maybe a different religion moved in. The Earthworks that was around here had a double wall around it 120’ apart. Had to be for protection
Does ever tell where he is at? I am from Michigan and think this would be a great adventure. I have looked all around for arrow heads and have never found even one, at 66 years old that's saying something.
Tried this. Dug a few ditches in the fall and filmed it. Was gonna dig them out in the spring, but they all filled with leaves. Maybe work better in the summer before the leaves fall
I wish this was legal on the Tennessee River. They won't let ya collect artifacts because the dead Indians might need them? I don't think you should bother the graves but picking up stones shouldn't bother anyone.
Yeah, I hear this from a lot people. Some states don’t allow it. Seems they’d rather see it lost forever, than have it cherished by someone. Makes no sense.
And than when state-sponsored archaeologists find something they lock it away in a vault so no one can see it. That or finds get “repatriated” aka reburied even tho most tribes were established fairly recently and likely have zero connection to even earlier artifacts (the Cherokee nation wasn’t even a thing until 1790…)
And another example would be the Caddo people, despite being able to directly trace their lineage to the Mississippian era they (Caddo government) see itself starting in 1690 as they were more throughly documented by the Spanish at this time.
Hey Clegg what happened to the good stories in your videos? I been waiting for another one like the one when you traveled back in time and lost your knife then found it in the river all sharpened down. Lol that was my favorite story you gotta top it.
I froze the video at 15:55. Could swear I see a reddish one to the left off your hand but you don't mention it. Am I imagining it? But, I've only found one artifact in my life. lol.
I showed your video in class (6th grade) as we studied artifacts and the Native Americans. The one with the snow cone syrup! Then I bought the Overstreet Guide to Arrowheads. I am going to start local searching and am detailing the process for the kids. Goal is for me to find something before the end of the school year. Located in eastern WV and I can feel those points all around here.

1. As far as securing permission to search a section of riverbank, I wouldn't know who to ask. It seems so much of what's near me may be company owned. How do you find out?
2. Where do you buy your boots?
I actually know the people that own where I look. But, I know there are apps for your phone ( hunting apps) that give the owners names. Maps with boundaries and owners.
There’s one called “onX Hunt” it works well.
The boots are “Muck” brand. Tractor supply
Lucky you! Thanks for the app suggestion. I'm thinking of someone who may have some ownership ideas. Thanks!
Great content 😂
Much Appreciated
Outstanding hunt, my friend! Hey, have you thought about placing a row of a dozen or so sticks, about a foot apart? I bet that you could create a LINE of flint that would be LOADED!!!
Much Appreciated! I’ve never tried them that close, but it’s an idea.
Let me know if it works out! I bet it just might! @@cleggsadventures
@@indianasmith8152 We need a good high water to wash these beaches of rubbish
Wow, you were on them! 👍
Was a great day
Wish I would had you as a teacher!
How about driving a couple of stakes in the water and running a piece of screen between them like that's in your sifter and see if it catches that stuff washing down. If one stick catches stuff a screen should really get a lot. In theory of course.
New subscriber here, I wonder is it legal on the kentucky and Ohio sides of the river to dig and sift like this, I was thinking of trying it around the Greenup Ky pool of the river
I think you’re outa luck in Kentucky, people saying, no sifting allowed there.
the one major flaw in your theory on the sticks collecting artifacts is that you do not check the ground first. In other words, you don't know that they weren't already there. I suspect they were because many times you just take a scoop or shovel and find them. Also I believe the sticks theory would be a lot more viable if there were two or mores sticks side by side. That way they could function like a snow fence (called sand fences at the beach). I do like your videos. I don't see myself as an avid arrowhead collector but I do know now how to go about it. Thanks
The sticks don’t act as a screen, more of a snag. When digging the sticks out, the stone is concentrated around the stick. The farther I get from the stick, the stone gets thin to none. If that much stone was there initially, I wouldn’t be able to push the stick in.
Not really worried how it works, just that it works.👍
Really enjoying your channel!! Are there any regulations in WV that you have to deal with? Beyond common sense I am curious if mudlarking is limited or regulated in any way by the DNR or other folks? Keep up the good work!!
No, just no looking on the islands and national parks. This is all privately owned land
Hi Clegg. First, congratulations on your educational work in North American history. Do you think your techniques will be successful in finding these points in rivers in South America? Is it necessary to be in a prehistoric site, or is it found in all rivers, because there has always been hunting and human beings? Thanks.
I’m not sure of your area. But yeah, best on an ancient site. But, people lived everywhere. Has to be something around
Thanks, Glegg.
Any time! 👍
Hey Clegg love your channel.....
Im in Monongalia County, can they be found on the Monongalia river banks or just the Ohio River banks? And keep up the good work man....👍
I’m not sure of the area, but they can be found all over. Fields, creeks, river banks.
@@cleggsadventuresI find them in creeks around Morgantown WV but never tried the river banks. So maybe ill try and let you know.
Maybe the sticks cause turbulence which causes the water to wash sand away, and or a disturbance that stops the stones moving with the waves and current, allow a place to collect as you mentioned
Probably correct on that
I figured out why the other nutting stone posts were being deleted so I’m posting this to correct the issue and to provide more context. While there aren’t any nutting stones in this specific video, as a long time viewer of your channel I’ve always been intrigued by the ones you’ve found in other upIoads. I recently stumbled across a video of a Cherokee man shaping and polishing a stone marble and couldn’t believe what I saw on his work table at about a minute in. Once he started using it I knew I had to share this with everyone. I’ll put a link to it in a reply below in case it gets deleted again.

Yeah, it didn’t make it, but Ive seen the video you’re speaking of. Holding stone in a split shaft and spinning them in a pitted stone. They have several good videos. That is a theory
Really like your rocker screen. Would like a better view to see it's construction. Also, would the sticks work in a gravelly situayion?
Much Appreciated! I don’t think, it’s more of a dammed river situation.
Here’s the sifter build.

@@cleggsadventuresThank you. I was impressed with it.
have you ever tried a "picket fence" of sticks? maybe 6 or 8 an inch apart. 1 parallel to waters edge and 1 perpendicular to the edge a little farther away and see if the results vary.
I’ve never tried that close.
Hey there buddy! That wasn't funny sending me after that nonexisting bucket! I will just bring my own bucket next time!!! 😂 Wow what a day Scott! You absolutely killed! Some amazing recoveries!
So from an armchair scientist my opinion is you planted them. 😂😂😂 JK JK I know way better i just couldnt resist pretending to be an armchair scientist!
From a fellow artifact collector i believe your theory is correct. I believe the gravel comes from 3/4 of the directions and builds up around the stick and the artifacts do the same and get caughtin the gravel. I say 3/4 of the sides basically from above towards the bank coming down, from river towards the bank from waves and also from up river going down river. You're definitely onto something with the sticks. Image moving them closer together. Im sure you've already thought of that.
Well buddy hope all is well! Stay safe my friend! TTYL
Thanks George! The honey hole is getting thin
I think the current isnt one speed, it speeds up, slows down. Causes the samd to get somewhat stirred. Rocks and artifacts move towards it.
Not much current here. At low levels like this, it barely moves. When it’s flooded, it goes about a fest walking speed. But, the level does fluctuate up and down often due to the dams
I will be honest i hadnt finished the video before i made that assumption. Based that hunch on one of ur previous ones.
Will this work in a sandy river without much or any exposed gravel
Never tried. This is a dammed river with very little current
Clegg, Do you use 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch metal mesh in your sifter? Thanks
I have 1/2 in it. I was using 1/4 , but it was slower. Really small triangles can slip through, but it’s a trade off I guess.
Clegg, good video. Regarding the Hopewell, I heard they were wiped out by invaders. Any thoughts on this?
We’ll never know, but maybe so. I was thinking maybe a different religion moved in. The Earthworks that was around here had a double wall around it 120’ apart. Had to be for protection
Thanks!
Thank you for that Dennis! That’s Very Much Appreciated 👍
I'm back on the river now buddy😊🤙. Not to far up here in the nati
That’s good, but I have no clue what the nati is
@@cleggsadventures cinci
@@2Goiz_1ShanDA Oh, gotcha. I’m way up north. WV
How in the world did you think of that ? Great job .
Much Appreciated
Gotta figure out how to make this work for us! One thing I know. There are more ways to find arrowheads than you can shake a stick at lol.
Now we need a good high water up here, my beach needs refreshing.
Maybe one day I can get as lucky as you with the sticks. 😂. I need to find a better place to dig I guess
Do you do much sifting?
Ever try putting 4_6 sticks adjacent to each other parallel to the shore? Might make a batter trap, dunno.
Haven’t tried them that close yet
What do you do with all the arrowheads you find?
I put them here
Three Years of CLEGG’S ADVENTURES
th-cam.com/video/FoIN1R4gM8o/w-d-xo.html
Hey i fr think u missed one on the last arrow u found look to like diagonal to the left one a little down ish that red rock looks like one to me
Second to last sifter full^^^not the last one
Not sure, if so, it gone now
Does ever tell where he is at? I am from Michigan and think this would be a great adventure. I have looked all around for arrow heads and have never found even one, at 66 years old that's saying something.
WV
What part of the Ohio River are you on? Is this close to Pomeroy?
Not sure where that is
Your the man will that work for creeks
I don’t think so
Educate us oh wise one, thank you 🎉
Have you tried digging where the sticks aren't to see if you get the same amount of stones and debris? You may just be digging in a good place.
Yes, it’s very thin to none.
I wonder if those points with no base are a fracture base decatur... those types were made that way intentionally.
I’m not sure, couple other people said the same thing. Could be, they were made well
Have u ever checked out any of the creeks that run into the river
I have. Found some things, but creeks around here are tough looking. Lots of sandstone.
@@cleggsadventures Its very hard to find perfect arrowheads are points here in Georgia
dig a trench parallel to the shore and see what you find in the water.
Tried this. Dug a few ditches in the fall and filmed it. Was gonna dig them out in the spring, but they all filled with leaves. Maybe work better in the summer before the leaves fall
Is this an old video, ive seen people doing this already
I made one a couple years ago.
11:26 I have an atlatl i designed to throw a standard arrow from my compound bow
Very cool
@@cleggsadventures I made the handle from the top half of an old broken 2 piece fishing pole. It works beautifully
I wish this was legal on the Tennessee River. They won't let ya collect artifacts because the dead Indians might need them? I don't think you should bother the graves but picking up stones shouldn't bother anyone.
Yeah, I hear this from a lot people. Some states don’t allow it. Seems they’d rather see it lost forever, than have it cherished by someone. Makes no sense.
And than when state-sponsored archaeologists find something they lock it away in a vault so no one can see it. That or finds get “repatriated” aka reburied even tho most tribes were established fairly recently and likely have zero connection to even earlier artifacts (the Cherokee nation wasn’t even a thing until 1790…)
And another example would be the Caddo people, despite being able to directly trace their lineage to the Mississippian era they (Caddo government) see itself starting in 1690 as they were more throughly documented by the Spanish at this time.
👍 Heeeeeeeeyyyy Clegg
👍✌️
I think a sky hook may actually do better than a stick. 😂
???
Attaoboy
dig between your sticks to test your theoryand see what you get.
I’ve done it. There’s stuff there but very thin.
Hey Clegg what happened to the good stories in your videos? I been waiting for another one like the one when you traveled back in time and lost your knife then found it in the river all sharpened down. Lol that was my favorite story you gotta top it.
I’m thinking on that. The ideas are hard to come up with.
@@cleggsadventures I'm sure it will be a good one you always do a good story.
Hope y'all have a happy thanksgiving from my family to yours here in southeast Missouri.
I do this at the lake. But the stick is already there. Dead trees. They hold tons of material. Literally.
Yeah, they’re good too. Around here, it’s old tires.
Nice theory with the sticks we have a nice tq point for you contact will snow so we can get a address to send it to you your friends thanks 😊😊
Much Appreciated! Hope y’all are finding some good ones
I froze the video at 15:55. Could swear I see a reddish one to the left off your hand but you don't mention it. Am I imagining it? But, I've only found one artifact in my life. lol.
Hard to say now
The Ohio is much better for this sort of thing than the Mississippi. The shoreline makes sense.
