Artifact hunting TN - Walking up on the elusive harpeth river point
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- I'm finally back at it with another video after a couple month hiatus getting in some good hunting. The artifacts in this video were all found earlier this spring when it was still chilly out. Chilly or not, the artifacts constantly keep coming no matter what! A number of different point types, drill, and uniface blades are shown in this video. The last point is whats called a harpeth river point. They are a somewhat elusive point not often found, with the exception of a few lucky people that have found large numbers of them. These are considered a transitional paleo / early archaic piece. Thanks as always for watching! Please be sure to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to keep up with all of my upcoming finds!

Congratulations on that last one!! So beautiful ! The Scraper and drill were rock on also. Great video with such a wonderful mix of artifacts. 🎉
Thank you! This video wasn’t full of the heavy hitters like some of my past videos, but it definitely had some contenders! That last one I found at one of those spots that spits out an artifact or 2 a year… tops! You can see why I keep going back though. Thanks as always!
@@Points365 You find amazing artifacts! They are a true joy to see! Your videos never disappoint. Happy hunting.
Cool finds man. That big round scraper was really awesome.
Yeah buddy… I guess that flake was just too good to for them to toss aside! I appreciate you coming back to check out the new finds man!
Damnit man. That banded point is stellar!! Well done, sir.
Haha thanks buddy! I found it at one of those sites that spits out maybe 1 or 2 points every couple years. I’m persistent about frequenting it for pieces like this! Thanks as always man!
Daaang, that last one though! Holy crap what a piece! Glad to see you back, brother. Keep pumping out the great content!
Thanks man! Where I found that last one is one of those spots that spits out an artifact or 2 a year tops. You can see why I keep going back I’m sure! Haha thanks for checking it out!
Envy and appreciation, friend.
You scraped and drilled to a perfect harpeth. :)
If those artifacts could only talk. Epic tales we will never know.
Hey man, it’s a pleasure sharing the finds! Scraped and drilled my way indeed! Haha I appreciate you checking it out too.
What great pieces my friend! Congrats! That last point had some beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing all the great stuff you find!
Thanks buddy! Yeah the video really doesn’t do that last one justice. The light colored bands on it are translucent too, which makes it even more impressive to see with some backlight! Thanks for checking out the finds!
Awesome! Makes me want to get out. I have not been out in a long time. The HR @ 14:10 is a stunner. Thanks for the show. Happy Hunting!
Thanks buddy! I hear ya though… nothing pumps me up to get out and find some stuff more than watching other people pull artifacts! Haha It really helps on the days I need a little extra push, like when it’s the dead of winter! Thanks as always man and good luck if you get out there!
That banded pine tree is absolutely killer
Congratulations on your bucket lister, a very fine example. Great spot on the pencil drill they are seldomly found on the surface. All the recent rains should help everybody in their relic hunting adventures 👍🏻
Thanks man! The recent rains and flooding have definitely helped with the artifacts. A flood event usually improves the hunting for a couple years at least! I appreciate ya man and hope you have continued luck and success in your upcoming hunts!
@@Points365 👍🏻
Congratulations, on the fine points
Thanks again! Hope you’ve been well!
That last point at the end with the bands is killer! Nice score.
Thanks so much! Where I found that last piece is one of those spots that only spits out an artifact or 2 a year tops. You can see why it’s one of my frequented spots! Haha thanks for checking out the finds!
I'm still wearing a necklace made from a point from the Tennessee river. I treasure it so much.
That’s awesome… the miles that piece has travelled!
That is definitely one beautiful Harpeth River! But Love that Oval Unifaced tool also!
Thanks buddy! The bands on that harpeth river are translucent, which gives it a neat look when backlit. That unifaced tool was definitely well made. And to think… it probably only took them a couple minutes to turn a flake into a beautiful piece like that! Thanks as always man!
Oh shoot. I thought that was a pine tree. Base was a little off for one but still thought it to be PT
That is one nice Harpeth.. I’ve owned a bunch of them and that’s a great example and super nice chert..respect 💪🏻💯
Thanks buddy! I don’t have too many in my collection, so when I get lucky enough to add another one to the collection it’s always exciting! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out man!
Your finds and videos never disappoint. And your finds and videos never fail to make me a little envious. Lol That was a beautiful oval scraper!
Aw man… hopefully that envy helps get you fired up to find some! I know there’s nothing that gets me more worked up and ready to wear it out than watching someone else pull some nice stuff! Haha Thanks as always buddy and I appreciate you coming back to check out the new round of finds!
Nice finds enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and good luck on your next outdoor adventure 👍
Thanks again and as always buddy! Good luck out there yourself!
Awesome finds brother ! Congratulations, beautiful history your seeing!!!
Thanks buddy! Agreed on the history too… it almost makes me sad to think of all the artifacts that don’t get found, and are swept out into the depths of our waterways to be lost seemingly forever… again!
Killer drill, and the bands on the last point!
Thanks man! A complete drill is always a bonus. The bands on that last piece are translucent, which gives it a neat look with a backlight. Thanks for checking out the finds!
Killer drill, on my bucket list, and those bands on that point were killer. Great saves and good hunting.
Thanks buddy! A complete drill is always a bonus! The bands on that last piece are translucent as well, which makes it look even neater with a backlight. Thanks for checking out the finds man!
@@Points365 I had a few good finds out with Bluegrass Relics sunday, but nothing like that.
Awesome find brother. Gotta love the stripes inclusion.... Sad the stone was broke in half it had a nice bowl on it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man… just trying to keep up with you and those killers you’re pulling! Haha But agreed on that grinding stone / bowl. It would’ve been a nice one!
The points were awesome as usual but what a stellar scraper!
Thanks man! Thats so funny, I’m starting to think I should’ve made that little scraper the highlight of the video! It is exceptional for a blade / scraper though. I appreciate you checking it out!
@@Points365 I actually thought the first one was nice also without one it would be like losing your pocket knife
Thanks for another relaxing video.That place is loaded with artifacts.👍🙏🗽🇺🇲😎
Thanks buddy, and I’m glad to share. I’m not downplaying the amount of artifacts in this area, but the videos definitely make it seem more loaded than it really is! 😂 Thanks for coming back to check out the vid man!
@@Points365 Just on the surface hunting not many.Lots if brokers not being filmed.Below the surface is where nobody has explored yet.Thanks again for sharing 👍🙏🗽🇺🇲😎
As usually you delivered on a great variety of points and artifacts. It was definitely worth waiting a few months for. That oval piece was certainly well worked it reminded me of an unfinished pendant or gorgette nice classic harperth river made of beautiful banded material nice mono at the very end the other half may still be arround in the area.again great video
Thanks buddy! I didn’t mean to wait so long to put another video out but life, work, and hunting has a tendency to take up a lot of time. I have a few videos worth of artifacts found this year that are still waiting to get put together into videos. I believe all the finds in this video were from March / April. So a little catching up to do! Haha Thanks as always man, and I’m looking forward to sharing the rest of my finds with you coming up!
I was thinking earlier today about you and bam I see your video up. Great finds glad you’re still at it R. Star. Have a good rest of your summer man.
Those psychic abilities were kicking in! But yeah man, it’s been busy times with my household. Making new videos has to take a backseat when it comes to work and especially hunting for new contact! Haha Speaking of which, I found a bunch of quality pieces to share with yall when I get around to making more videos! I appreciate you buddy!
Great content! I appreciate all your hard work in making these vids! I grew up on the harpeth and thats where i caught the hobby of artifact hunting. Ive moved to north alabama and the points dont dissapoint,but seeing what you find reminds me of what i found as a youngster. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! It’s a pleasure to share the finds with everyone. What a place to grow up though! An older buddy of mine grew up hunting the harpeth with his grandmother. They actually found a mastodon tusk sticking out of a gravel bar while out hunting. That tusk is the one that’s currently displayed at the Tennessee state museum. Thanks as always buddy!
that arrowhead is beautiful!
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Hey man, good video. Best points. The way you show all sides and angles the best .😃😃
Thanks buddy! I finally got around to piecing a video together of some finds from earlier this year. I try to make sure everyone gets to see every angle since I so often find myself wanting to see more when watching other videos. I appreciate ya man! I’m planning on getting out this weekend… I’ll be sure to let you know if anything is found!
I’ve missed your videos that drill was a killer.That Bluejay had your number , that banded one at the end my goodness that one’s a killer for sure great save!!! That guy had a covet that point great craftsmanship!
Thanks man and sorry for the video silence! Work has been wearing me out, and when not working, hunting for more additions to the collection has been going on. I’ve had some good luck over the past couple months and can’t wait to share the new finds! Now the real hard work begins…. Making videos! Haha thanks as always buddy!
That stripey point is a work of art!
Thank you! When it’s backlit the white stripes are translucent. They were hunting with a little flair with that piece!😂 Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome!!!!
Thanks man! I appreciate you checking it out!
Nice going!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate ya as always!
Nice recoveries brother. been wondering about you glad to see you are finding them nice drill and killer at the end. Take care and see you on the next one.
Yeah man, you know how it goes… work and hunting for artifacts gets in the way when it comes to making videos. I figured I was backlogged with enough artifacts to where I better get back at it sharing some finds! I appreciate it as always buddy and hope you’ve been doing good!
@@Points365 we're doing good thanks just working and hunting trying to keep my head above water and on my shoulders. Already looking forward to the next video... Take care and God bless.
👍 I'll bet that dude pulled that banded blade knife out more than necessary. That "soda bottle top" scraper is killer.
Oh you know he did! He was all like… “there she is coming around the wigwam… lemme sit here picking my teeth with this thing. Tell me is she looks my way!” 😂
@@Points365 Yep, then he could gift it to her and seal the deal.
Man you find the good stuff!!😂
Haha I find the broke stuff too! Persistence eventually pays off with a quality piece every now and then! Thanks as always buddy!
Hey Brother another great video so many great points hope you're doing well haha obviously
Thanks buddy I appreciate it. I’ve been doing good! Just been busy going to the salt mine and hunting… no time to make a new video though. I found some goodies to share though! Thanks again man and hope all is well with you.
Toting the mail from Fayetteville to Pinehurst to Raleigh and back 6 days try to go early on Sunday morning so I haven't had much luck lately keep up the good work and thanks for The inspirations
Good to see you back at it! I always love to find a drill . The banding on the last one is awesome! Congrats brother and HH!
Thanks buddy. The past couple months have been busy busy for me. Making new videos has to take a backseat to work and of course finding more artifacts! Haha Don’t worry, I found some dandy’s while on my video hiatus! I appreciate ya man!
That made for a great Thursday night garage night! Many thanks!
Thanks as always man! I’ll try not to make it another 2 months before I put another video out. I’ve been busy finding some content for the next videos! Haha take care buddy!
Always a good video and music! Killer pieces. Thank for sharing.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. People either love or hate my video style it seems. I’m always glad to hear from fans of my style! It’s always a pleasure to share the finds and appreciate you taking the time to check them out.
Hell yes. Beeb waiting on your next video. Some good ones. Beautiful harpeth river
Haha thanks man! Sorry for the recent lack of vids… work has been wearing me out, and when I wasn’t working I was busy looking for content to share! It’s been a good past few months and have some goodies to share. Now back to making more videos between sleeping and hunting! Haha thanks buddy!
Wow !!! Love the grey stripes !!!!💥
Awesome finds as always, man !!!🔥✌🍀
Thanks man! It’s always a bonus when the material has a neat pattern or color to it. I often wonder if they sought out material with neat patterns to use? You know…. To impress the squaw in the teepee next door! 🤣
@@Points365
Lol, guarantee it 🤣👍
Incredible finds! Love the bands on the Harpeth River. Definitely a Beauty!
Thanks bud! Those white bands are translucent when backlit. Pretty neat looking piece, and the video as usual doesn’t do it justice! Haha thanks as always man!
@@Points365 no way man you always make great videos!
Sweet 😎 🏹
Thanks again buddy and I appreciate it!
Really great pieces, especially that drill !
Thanks man! Finding a complete drill is always a bonus. If I had a nickel for every broken one I’ve found! I appreciate it though buddy and thanks for taking the time to check out the finds!
Finally !!!!
Haha, sorry for the slow release time! I’ll work on not going 2 months again. I was busy finding more content! Thanks buddy!
Hey brother just wanted to let you know that there is going to be a show at Corinth miss. October 5th looking forward to be there. Take care and God bless
Thanks for the heads up man! I just looked it up. Corinth is only 3.5 hours away… not that bad of a drive for a good showing of artifacts! I saw that it’s being put on by the archaeological society as well. That usually means a good show! Are you gonna be displaying?!
@@Points365 yes sir if all goes well I already scheduled vacation
@@Points365 yes sir we're planning on setting up with some Arkansas color and a few Paleo projectile pieces.hope to see you then.
Welcome back. Been missing your saves. That round thingy was really cool. I like those unusual items. Harpeth river a killer. So what was the item broken in half at the end you think. Well as alwYs be safe out there.
Thanks buddy! I’m with you, the strange and unusual pieces are an added bonus. That last piece looked like a well worn grinding stone / bowl. I found it right there near where the harpeth river was found. Came out of the same little clump of dirt I imagine. I’m glad that harpeth wasn’t snapped in half like it was! Haha Thanks again my friend!
Love your videos! Those were a couple really nice flake tools. Was that one longer stemmed point a Buck Creek? Killer drill!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. The flake tools are always neat! I feel like they get passed up by a lot of artifact hunters. Either they just want the pointy stuff, or they just think they are flakes… either way I’ll take their leftovers! Haha
But yep, you nailed it. Buck creek. Found it at my buck creek spot. That’s the only projectile type I’ve ever found there. Probably somewhere around 25-28 found there so far. It must’ve been their point of choice there! Haha thanks again buddy!
That last point was a pretty son of a gun!!
Thanks again buddy. Those white stripes on it are translucent too, which give it a little extra flair! Thanks for checking out the finds!
Niiiiiice!!!!!
Thanks buddy! Hope you’re doing good up there. I went back to my cache spot over the wknd and found another piece to add to it! The recent high waters must’ve made at least 1 more spill out.
You’re lucky that the raccoon didn’t pick up the second blade!
Haha I know! Little booger was all over that thing! Luckily I don’t have to compete with them, otherwise it’d be game over for me!
Very cool finds, that mataty is really cool did you take it home?
Yeah buddy, you know I did! Broken or not, I had to take that home with me. There’s hardly any broken artifacts that I don’t bring home with the exception of hammer stones etc. I only have so much space at home haha
@@Points365 I have a lot of space, unfortunately, it seems about all I find are hammer and nutting stone's, but I have some really cool finds, maybe you will find the other half !
Nice Wells, very nice Dover turtle back scraper, you think 1rst. Point was Harpeth river?
I like that comment lol. especially the last part.
You really think that last one is a wells?
@Points365 the long based one is, too bad one barb is dinged off.
@Points365 oh no, last one is 4 sure Harpeth River, damn good one by the way.
I still like your view on politics, I think the former pres. has been watching your videos, cause he has been mighty qujet this election. LOL!
Oh man… Haha I think someone dropped a bug in his ear to just sit back and watch the left self implode. Talk themselves into a hole without having him to blame…. Which they will do anyways!
Politics and arrowheads don't mix... what a douche~ unsubbed
Man that arrowhead is fabulous
That may be of the coolest shafted end scrapers I've seen. To bad it has a chip out of it. Whom ever did the work on that was pretty darn good
Thanks man! I feel like those pieces like that often get overlooked… lucky for people like us! Ha
@Points365 Like you, I haven't found my whole first point yet, after 5 years of searching hard locally in my state. I've did my homework on sites and finds here in MD. locally. The county I lived in I think was a transitional area they traveled through.I have the Chesapeake bay east of me, The Potomac River west of me, with the Monocacy river in between going west. The Allegany mountains are furter west.Then the Susquehanna river north of me. Both major rivers the Potamac and Susquehanna both flow into the bay.
@Points365 Those scrapers are one of my favorite tools. They were important to the survival of man in my opinion
