I believe what your mystery arrow point is aggotized petrified wood, We get alot of these crude arrowheads up in Alberta Canada, yours is actually well made. the layers are nothing but the trees growth rings coming through. some layers are aggotized while others are not. they used what would work for them . we enjoy your shows up here and plan to inspire our grand kids with your shows over Christmas as you educate and entertain very well. Keep up the effort and have a Merry Christmas. Stay Well Norm & Audrey
Great video Clegg!!! Found some nice ones. Not sure if u uncovered the make of the mystery item... When I first seen it I was thinking a novelty item to stick on the fridge... But that's just a guess. Thanks again for the adventure
I like your videos a lot better than most. You put a lot of effort in what you do. Good luck! I have something to say about that rust. I have rocks that do have inscribed arrows on it pointing to what looks like rust coming out of the rock. So they were, at my guess, were figuring out how to make steel of some sort. I have a lot of weird rock items.
scott that adena would have been super nice. that little point with the stuff on it is an oddity for sure. we have places around me with a lot of iron in the soil and it will make deposits on points. not sure if that’s the same scenario where you are. maybe it was sitting on a piece of trash for years. just an idea.
Nice finds! That one piece may have bee flaked from the outer edge of a rock. The outside of a rock is weathered and often looks different from the inside.
good video. I recall a while back you were going to try out a system to draw water from the river to rinse on the sand. Sure seems that would be better then hauling that bucket back and forth.
Townsend Walton please check out my previous videos. I ordered a cheap pump, which broke the first day. Tried and electric pump but water flow just wasn’t enough. I’ll perfect it one day. Thank you for watching.
Nice job!! Maybe it was a natural deposit in the stone , n some lucky native figured out metal!! You might have the first crossover stone metal point!!!! Maybe send to him Bennett, he would have the best answer I would guess? If you do find out let us know? Thanks
Hey Clegg...enjoy the videos. Have a question though. Have you ever considered taking a small pump and wash away the sand like they used to hydraulic mine for gold? Just curious.
Yes, actually tried it. Bought a cheap little pump off ebay and it broke in 5 minutes. So, brought my generator and a sump pump, but just didn’t move enough water. If I had a 2” pump, it’d work for sure. I’ve found it takes a lot of volume, something to move a lot of water. I just haven’t gotten a large pump yet.
I have found a few iron points and I have been told that they were traded to the natives for furs but I have my doubts. I know of two places where stone was quarried that have iron slag and a strange type of iron laying around. It's kind of like a mixture of iron and concrete. Really if you think about it logically they probably always had a camp fire burning and in places like Kentucky and West Virginia they had coal and hematite both close together. Considering those factors I would have a hard time believing they didnt figure out iron at least to some degree
After watching this one, I had to go through the comments. Was the mystery point ever satisfactorily explained or ID'd? Sorry to be the guy coming late to the party.
@@cleggsadventures We have all slept since then. That, coupled with being hit in the head, while we were younger, well...what were we talking about? Have a good 'un.
Stick the mystery item in vinegar.It will eat the rust and won't affect the stone It may have ended up in some concrete at some time in the past, and then was eventually released by erosion. Just a quick guess on my part.

Good day on the river, it’s channels like yours that keep me coming back. Keep on finding the good stuff man!
Michigan Digger It’s hard going right now, winter is brutal with rain this year. We’ll have much better stuff coming up soon. Thank you for watching.
Wow
Scott, you found some really well-made pieces today. I have no idea what your mystery item is, but it definitely is a point! Nice finds!
Cynthia Swearingen Thank you so much for watching 👍
Excellent.
Ordinary everyday guy Thanks guy 👍

Marlin Thomas It’s definitely an odd piece. I’ve never found anything like it.

Semo Artifact Adventures Thanks guy. I keep looking at it but still can’t figure it out. I’m convinced it’s hematite on it. Odd piece for sure.
Killer live find that was fun haha good day for sure
Blue Crow Thank you so much. Winter is making it rough for sure. Better days to come.👍
Any new info on the rusty mystery piece in the last two years?
No, we’ve moved on.👍
I love tree roots ,they act like baffles in a gold slice. I found a canoe chopper one. Didn't know what it was either.
Gerald Luque I’ll be traveling to the Alaskan bush this summer for some gold prospecting. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice finds! That one piece may have bee flaked from the outer edge of a rock. The outside of a rock is weathered and often looks different from the inside.
Papa Ray's Adventure Channel yea, I have no idea on that piece.👍

Scott, fear not, every single artifact I have found has been broken. I will scream "SMOKER!" if I ever find one that is unbroken!
Michael Meisberger There’s definitely a lot of broken ones out there.
Nice finds! Super weird rusty point you found! I have know idea on what happened to it.
Norma Ferro thank you 😊. It’s one piece I can’t figure out
Nice job!! Maybe it was a natural deposit in the stone , n some lucky native figured out metal!! You might have the first crossover stone metal point!!!! Maybe send to him Bennett, he would have the best answer I would guess? If you do find out let us know? Thanks
Scott Nock Thanks guy. It’s definitely an odd piece. May have to do that.

First point you found looks like table rock
James Gorrell It very well may be, I get those confused a lot.

Damion White sounds very logical. I don’t know what I have for sure, but I’m totally convinced isn’t a point. Thanks for watching guy.👍

D.M. , I’d have to go back and watch it again, can’t remember this episode much
