Totally a adrenaline rush when you do find a whole arrow head, I found one made by the Freemont Indians in a dried up river bed walking along side of it. Good luck with your treasure hunting!
Brad, you may find this article very interesting.
I'm somewhat of a history buff, and have a liking for channels like your's.
If I see something on anything that peaks my curiosity, then I will see what else I can learn about whatever that maybe on the subject.
This is just a portion of what I discovered about the rings you, and the various ways they were dispersed during the time period you spoke of.
Hope this is of interest to you, and you may have already read through it yourself.
Enjoy if you haven't, and no harm if you have.

So-called Jesuit Rings: French Fanaticism, Native American Trade, and Spanish Treasure
April 16, 2020 by John Bryan, Attorney at Law
A descendent in my family goes back in Pennsylvania history as English traders along the Monongahela river valley and along the Allegheny river going north to Kittanning. We used to go three to four times a year, I doubt people could find as much as we did. What a day!
@@timothymilam732 Very interesting! Just started reading the article and will definitely go back to finish!
@Edwin Rodriguez No, you get a life. Just go away.
Wow! The Jesuit ring blew me away. What a find!
Truly once in a lifetime find.
Your respect and reverence for the things you find and places you search is what brings me back to your channel. Good work 😁
Wow! Such an awesome find. Truly precious treasure
Wow Brad! Just...WOW! I got goosebumps watching this and some of your finds. Congratulations!
Very interesting, as an American Indian I've been told many stories from my Grandparents about the old life. That was a plowed field and more than likely where they once danced, those were not arrow points, the holes were to string them together because they as jewelry and noise makers were part of the dance and celebrations. Nice finds Brad, many places like that out here in the west if you know what your looking at. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
I'm native to they where jingles for dancing rewrite history in God we steal and kill not in God we trust
Thank you for clearing that up, I didn't think they were arrow points either, because they are missing the piece where they would be attached to the shaft to hold them in place with sinew. I didn't say anything, as I don't have the historic info like you do. They do indeed look like "bangles" to be worn as jewelry, as you pointed out.
Thanks so much for sharing your ancestral knowledge and stories, Kenny! Perhaps the people living in the west purposed them differently, but I've come across many academic papers online that describe the brass, triangle objects found in this video as arrowheads. One with nice photos showing the difference in hole placements between arrowheads and bangles/tinklers can be seen here (pages 37 & 46): www.rla.unc.edu/publications/pdf/resrep37/Chap2.pdf
There is also a very nice excavated example of a kettle point still affixed to the wooden arrow shaft on the Smithsonian page here, after clicking the orange "right" tab twice. The purpose of the centered hole is made more clear: americanindian.si.edu/nk360/manhattan/journey-of-trade/journey-of-trade.cshtml#kettle
@@michellerichardson3907 You think the natives were dancing and sniffing wild flowers the whole time? Humans are selfish no matter their race or tribe.
Your explanation of the point make more sense . A brass point would not b very strong.
Outstanding! What a treat. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Brad you never disappoint you videos are always awesome. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
i used to work for an archeologist here in new mexico......i learned to spot flake scatter, the bits which were chipped off when the point was made. i look for a comfortable hilltop, or a place where i would like to sit and read or whatnot, and like as not i find flake scatter. easy to do in the desert, or any open place. once you learn to spot even pieces of points it gets easy to spot whole ones. after he taught me how to spot a point i pulled one out from his shoe......it was a rare point, around 8,000 yrs old, and it is recorded in the state register. it takes a bit of education to date a point, but it's worth pursuing when you find one. love your wonderfully educationalb videos!!
That must have been an incredibly fun way of learning! I haven't spent much time hunting artifacts but a few years ago I found two perfect points about 5 to 7 inches long under a huge maple tree behind my house. The land has been farmed for years and the headwaters of a creek start on the property. Several springs are nearby the old maple and I've always imagined that natives would have sought out such a place to live. Later i was talking to a neighbor and he showed me his discoveries and I was blown away. Stone carved snakes, all sorts of stone tools etc. So what you are saying is absolutely right. They sought out places to live just like we do now. All along the holston river is very rich with native history here in Virginia and into Tennessee
So you get the point lol
@@villasofkamalii7509 lol yeah. Id love to visit your part of the country such a different landscape. Spent time in white sands a few years ago but didn't get to explore much, was there training for deployment .
@@thomastrain7311 sounds wonderful! it's nice to hear one's theories validated.....in theory. (smile) i really don't know much about american archeology, (my heart is in Egypt) however i think that if one found a point that long around here Certain People might become Very Excited. you have excellent universities where you are, however if you ever get out this way between May and October check out the Museum of Archeology and Material Culture at Turquoise Trail Campground. it is most excellent, created by the archeologist i once knew. i don't know why the term "Clovis Piont" is rattling around in my fractured brain but i thought i would throw it out there. peace be with you........
Wow Brad, thanks for sharing this. I wouldn't have been able to stop saying thank you either. Glad you got to do this and again, thanks for sharing it with us.
Your enthusiasm is absolutely palpable!
So glad you had fun!!
One of your best digs ever Brad. So excited for you. I wish this nation would cherish those that came before us as well as the history our ancestors brought here. Tear it down and build new over and over.
WONDERFUL video! That was truly amazing. I am an amateur flint/obsidian knapper, and it was great to see those discards (called 'debitage,' btw)-- they looked for the most part like the outer layer of a core, pieces struck off with a bit of cortex on them to get to the good stuff underneath. Core pieces have a particular shape, and every now and then out here in the Southwest I've found them lying where they were struck off a millenia or three ago. Those kettle-brass points were amazing; I've seen them in a museum, but to actually watch them come out of the ground was a joy! And the ring was amazing too. But my favorite find of the whole video had to be your 'tinkler,' because when members of our local tribes (Tohono O'odham, Apache, San Carlos, etc.) dance at their festivals, they still have those decorating their beautiful garments, and I know exactly what that little thing you held in your hand would sound like.
Awesome day brad congratulations on your great fines 👍❤🙏
Spirit blesses you... Tears flowing for the finds & finding the people of the earth... 🙏
How exciting and interesting! Congrats! And thanks for sharing with us all!
A once in a lifetime day with all of these very special finds. This could not have happened to someone more deserving. Congratulations Brad.
Big fan and always watch your vids !! This one about the historical village was killer. Thank you. Had me riveted to my seat.
Yay Brad!! The rings a charmer!
Those are some incredible finds. Some of the earliest metal artifacts in America.
Always love your videos Brad, Thankyou.
Congratulations Brad...awesome discoveries.
What a fantastic, generous opportunity the Gentleman gave you! WOW, what an amazing finds and you are never too old to learn new stuff and and inspire you to sometimes take a “different” route...🤷🏻♀️🤩 May God Bless you even more on your next adventure...🙏🏼🍀Best wishes send from a fan that followed your channel when you first started out!👋🏼🇨🇦😄
Amazing finds. That Jesuit ring is awesome
Great video Brad ! Congrats on all your awesome finds ! "Wow"!
That was amazing
I've spent years hunting native American art affects. love finding them and taking time to think about where and why the art affects are where they are. One I found on top of a flat rock above a small stream. Just thinking that that spear point had been exposed in that spot for a 1,000 of more years, still blows my mind.
Wow! Great hunt. Thank you for sharing.
Brad , you have a lot of followers and should be thankful by answering their comments .
What an awesome day!! So jealous!
Hi Brad! Thanks for you metal detecting adventures!..
Some amazing finds Brad, so different to your usual finds.👍👌😁
It puzzles me a bit that folks are saying the triangular pieces were identified wrongly but, when you offered documentary evidence, you got no further response. I have no reason to doubt your research but those who challenged you seemed to be pretty sure. The lack of response, as well as the links you provided, makes it look like your description was spot-on.
Your enthusiasm is contageous; had me quite excited by the end.😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
I've been passing over your posts until now...Looking forward to seeing the rest of what my ignorance has rejected in the past...
You are the real thing...
Thanks...
Wow! What an amazing historic place! Everything just made my jaw drop. 😱 Thank you for sharing !!!
Beautiful finds of a life time Brad.
You must be at an Iroquois site. The chert you found is from spalling a large piece to get a workable piece.That's a madison point. The bow and arrow came into service 1000 years ago. Before the bow and arrow was atlatl a dart thrower that used projectile points. The native made pipes were of soft stone like steatite, catlinite
Outstanding as always. 👍
Killer! Great finds. Thanks for protecting the site!
Some really nice finds Brad! Such a good video!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Congratulations, Brad! I’ve been watching you for a long time, and I’m so glad that you had this chance.
Very interesting Brad! The ring is incredible! Happy Digging!!👍😘
Treasures are popping up everywhere!! 'I'm surprised you haven't found more Native American objects, but that ring WOW that is special!! Great work Brad!!!
Thanks for such a great Video
By far the best video that you’ve done. Thank you
Your finds are too cool! Thanks for sharing!
OH MY GOSH!!!!😍😍How AMAZING IS THAT!!!!!
IHS is "In Hoc Signo" which means "Under this sign" part of the phrase "In hoc signo vinces" or "Under this sign you will conquer."
Thanks. New history learnings!
Amazing finds regardless of their purpose. The ring is a true treasure. I am glad you treasure your finds with the reverence they deserve.
Awesome find Brad! The Jesuit ring is awesome. If it could only talk, It was so much going on at that time. After all these years it is still in one piece. You're still the rock star Brad, Love your videos
Very, Very awesome!
The coolest hunt do far thank you for sharing your experience
Smiled the whole way through.
Regardless of the identification of these items, they are amazing. To be able to find items from that time is so special. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank the land owner for us as well. What a treasure and experience, crazy as you say.
Another great video.....and hats off to you for maintaining the privacy factor of your sites.
Such fantastic finds!
Jesuit ring is absolutely top of my bucket list items to find here in Michigan. AWESOME! Congrats!
I remember the first time I found a perfect spear point and an ax head. You took me back to those days. Incredible finds Brad. You will never forget this day.
Yes! That rush of knowing your the first human hand to touch that since the guy that lost it!!
@@stanbarrett5552 it was the best feeling!!
@@beckysmith7350 It always is!! It's extremely addictive!!
Great video, love the native artifacts. I think the damaged musket ball with the sprue may be the result of the mold not being the right temperature when the lead was poured, usually they get thrown back in the pot.
Some real awesome finds that you have found. Arrow heads are great fun to look for.
Amazing fund's, but that ring though, mind blowing and the historical story behind it! Wow omg that must have bn a day to remember!!!
My favorite video so far!
Hopefully we see some more of the old old!
I love your enthusiasm. Wish I could be there too!
Amazing video & an awesome start to my birthday. Congrats on all your amazing finds & your buddy is awesome for inviting you out to go metal detecting with him
Such amazing finds Brad. This was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow amazing 👏
Wow! Awesome site. Great finds!
Just awesome!
wow Brad! That's some awesome stuff, and so cool of your friend to share the place with you. generous .. i'm blown away.. so exciting. thank you for sharing.
Top Notch finds! You're friend is a true pirate! Great job!
😲 omg that stuffs amazing. I was in my front yard by my mailbox when I was about 12 years old I happened to look down and right there on the ground was a 2 to 3 inch arrowhead. Looked like red jasper, but with all that time passed it was agatised, and the biggest thing I found to be on the property. Today though I have know idea where it is. Moved to many times and lost it. I live in Tacoma Washington. My Mom, remembers the neighbors talking about when they bought there land the road was full of wagon ruts still visible to the eye. My grandfather bought the land across the street from them. I loved growing up there. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing ❤.
Lifetime's Best Finds You can never Forget , Congrads Brad Martin.
When I was a young boy and no houses around us , after a heavy rain I found flint and arrow heads laying on top of ground here in Georgia.
It's experiences like this that keep you going....Nice
Incredible! Congrats!
Incredible finds!
Ultra cool finds; thanks for sharing.
Great video!
Always love your enthusiasm but had a much different excitement to it. Great editing work. Also giving us the history. Congratulations
Great video my friend. I grew up in NM and have had the chance to find several arrow heads and pottery shards including a child’s toy in the shape of an animal. Love your videos.
And those dances are called Jingle Dances here on the west coast. LOVE it.
That was amazing. Your so lucky you got to do that. And I'm glad I got to watch it.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us Brad.
Thank you.
Amazing finds. Congratulations!
i love friday, thanks brad.
What a great video. Love the history.
Outstanding!
Wow nice hunt with a truly awesome Guy to invite you. I'd say you owe him a good hunt where you go.
I am from Vermont and love treasure hunting. I love these videos.
I have a small collection of vermont stone arrowheads that my father left me when he died. They are amazing just to look at.
Congrats on all your finds. Thanks for sharing that experience. Really awesome. You could probably donate that 1000-year old find to a local museum, or sell it to a museum, for more to appreciate. Or, you can tell everyone to get a metal detector and go find their own. LOL
Thanks,,, Great info,, smart to not tell the location,,, thank you both,,
That ring - what an awesome find!
Wow very nice, lucky lucky you. The ring is amazing
I'm so happy for you Brad. Now you can start looking for Indian artifacts wherever you go.
I picked up a few tools / rocks that I had no idea what they were I just thought they were really odd.
One is a nutting stone used for shelling nuts. A game ball, white , smooth all most 4 inches in diameter. Completely round and symmetrical And a hatchet head made out of stone. I was just drawn to them.
I live in Maryland near the Susquehanna River which many tribes live nearby maybe eight different ones.
Found them when I wasn't looking. You tripped on to something new to look for. Congratulations Brad!!!
Hay Brad, it's your Aussie mate Bovver. Working flint is called " Napping " . Great video mate. 😎👍
Hi Brad, omg wow wow wow, congratulations !! those were some absolutely amazing finds and so historical, awesome.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
