I sure do enjoy your videos! I am in amazement at all the great finds you make. I haven't been able to get out and walk the fields this last year due to getting arthritis in both knees, so I get my fix by watching your videos! Thanks so much for sharing these finds with us.
It’s a pleasure the share them buddy! I know my time is coming when I’ll only be able to reminisce on my days hunting, so while I can, I try to share it all! It’s about time for you to get those bionic man knees!
@@Paleoman52 Champ! Glad to hear you’re still kicking but sad you’re having knee trouble….maybe you could set up one of your tractors with balloon tires and a comfy seat and hit the fields?!?! If there’s a will, there’s a way!!!?!…also, hope you’re still knapping….youre one of the best!!!! Kick some ass buddy!!!!
Perfect timing for a video. Ive been killing it lately. Found 8 celts a paddle drill and 4 whole points in 2 hours the other day. Found 2 points yesterday and 2 today. No telling what ill find this weekend. Your videos always give me good luck!
Duuude! You’re straight killing it out there! Hopefully this video will keep the flint flowing and maybe a little of your luck will wear off on me! Haha Keep it up man and best of luck!
Thanks so much and I appreciate you coming back to check out the finds! I’m trying to get back on my schedule of putting out a new video every 2 weeks. I have quite a few backed up from last year still waiting to make its way into videos! Thanks again and as always!
Even the heartbreakers are a welcomed find on those long days with little to show for it as you know! These finds were from July or so of last year. I think I sent you a video of that metal piece last year to get your thoughts on it. I took it to the KY dam show and got a lot of good input on it there! Thanks as always buddy!
Thanks buddy! Yeah that square knife was found at a spot that usually spit out the old stuff. I’m not sure if the square knives were only used in the earlier time periods or not, but early archaic is the newest stuff that comes from that particular spot. That metal piece either hit a “rock”fish or one heck of a hard noggin! Haha
👍 Luv that little adze. Hard to believe they would use that metal piece as a projectile point that they could possibly lose, most likely a awl as @johnduncan said or an ornamental piece, something prized and kept close.
You might be correct on that thought. After researching the old copper artifacts, the rolled copper arrowheads looked like a dead ringer. Although I’m not sure this piece is copper. Whatever it was made to fit over is about the same diameter of a pencil. I could definitely see it as an ornamental pieces as well. Thanks for the input buddy!
Great finds bro!! Love the small gray hardaway with the red tip…we don’t find many in these parts…and the copper rolled tip is fantastic!!!…would be cool to have somebody test the metallurgy to see if it came from the Michigan source way back when or if it was a trade scrap from the historic times??
I really appreciate it man! The guys I showed it to definitely thought it to be a rolled point. Some thought lead, some thought copper. I thought copper had more of a green patina, but I’m not the pro on that! If it is lead it was likely something traded or snatched in historic times. Either way I was excited to find it!
Always a pleasure man! But man, these finds were all found last July I believe. I’m wayyy behind on posting videos! Haha People probably enjoy seeing some warm looking scenery amidst the mini ice age we’re going through right now!
Yeah, they were all found in the same general area. If they were found in the same spot I’d be inclined to think it might be a possible cache. I have 2 more found from the same spot that I found weeks after these were found. They will probably be in the next video. I have them all lined up next to each other, they look good lined up together!
Thanks man! Found that last piece on a bank as the water had recently receded. No modern trash found there. Everything from mid archaic to woodland artifacts found there as far as I can tell. I had no clue what it was when I walked up on it. I’ve learned over the years to pick up anything that looks unusual or out of place. Given where it was found I figured it record the pull just in case. After taking home and doing some research it looked exactly like the rolled copper points found more north of me. I took it to a show to get some input and everyone agreed it looked like the rolled points. Some thought copper. Some thought lead. The patina and weight make me think lead, but haven’t figured it out for sure yet. Some on here have thought it’s more likely to be an awl, which I could also see it being.
I appreciate it! But yep, in and around the whole middle TN area. I live in the Nashville area and travel up to 1-1.5 hours in all directions in search of artifacts!
When I researched it, it was a dead ringer to the rolled copper points found more up north where natural deposits of copper were found. I’m thinking this piece might be lead though? I took it to a show to get some input and arrowhead is what people thought. They thought maybe lead also and although not unheard of, was unusual. As one guy mentioned, they used whatever they got their hands on! I appreciate it as always buddy!

Bro. That rolled copper piece is one of those "holy sh*t" moments lol that is insane. rolled copper projectile is what that is i beleive but was not aware of any significant amounts of copper stuff being found in TN. Its here on some level as ive seen publications and collections with some copper relics from mid and west TN. I cannot beleive you actually walked up and eyeballed that in the surf! Lol insanelt rare find is what that is. Would 100% be curious as to the origins of the copper as well as the way its made, maybe some folks can shed some light on where/when it wouldve been made. The stylistic characteristics of hiw its rolled/pounded into shape and rolled probably are distinct to certain time period and localities maybe. I would say it could be a flaking tool but im not sure theres any existing examples that are made that way, by rolling into shape. As far as im aware thats not how they were making the flaking tools that they did using copper. Especiqlly furthur down here in the south where copper is nowhere to be found as far as naturally occurring sources.
I have 2 other copper artifacts that I found in years past, and one has a more greenish color, the other having more of a cream color / greenish patina. This piece has more of a lead colored patina to it it seems. I took it to the KY dam show last year to get some thoughts on it. Showed it to everyone who had metal artifacts displayed. Everyone agreed that it looked like the rolled metal points. Some thought lead, some thought copper. As one guy mentioned that thought it was lead, he said although it was unusual, it wasn’t unheard of, and that they used whatever they got their hands on. I need to settle the debate on what type of metal it is by swinging my metal detector over it! Haha thanks again and as always for the input man. You always have a lot of insight and input on the artifacts!
Still baffling how all the Pickwicks look like the same guy made them. They all have that one weak shoulder. You would think after a few hundred years one guy would say, "Hey, I'm going to make mine with symmetrical ears this time" Nope, just the same copy-cats over, and over, and over. Crazy
They prob accidentally made them symmetrical, but everyone made fun of it so much he destroyed it! Haha But I hear ya man… it is one of those mysteries that we’ll never have answers for! Did you get any sort of winter precipitation the other day? My uncle just north of you had some snow cover!
I think it’s lead… it sure has the weight of lead at least. Seems like most copper artifacts had more of a green / brown patina. I should run my metal detector over it, that would get to the bottom of it! Haha thanks for checking it out!
It has the weight and patina of lead… so that would get my guess. The few people I’ve showed it to who are knowledgeable on metal artifacts thought so too. Also thought it to be an unusual but not unheard of find as well. I appreciate it at always buddy!

You need to start posting some finds man… I’d be the first subscriber in a heartbeat!
Just got around to watching , I must say , I'm impressed with your finds. Love your videos. ❤❤ Thanks for another great one.
Thanks so much and I appreciate you coming back to check out the finds! I’m trying to get back on my schedule of putting out a new video every 2 weeks. I have quite a few backed up from last year still waiting to make its way into videos! Thanks again and as always!
Nice finds enjoyed watching and good luck on your next outdoor adventure 👍
Thanks for checking out the video and the finds! Hopefully, I’ll have another one up soon!
Nice finds, again.
Lot of nice points and minute heartbreakers. At least you had some beach to search. Keep looking and be safe.
Even the heartbreakers are a welcomed find on those long days with little to show for it as you know! These finds were from July or so of last year. I think I sent you a video of that metal piece last year to get your thoughts on it. I took it to the KY dam show and got a lot of good input on it there! Thanks as always buddy!
Great saves, I like that square knife and the copper dart point. It looked like it hit a Rock fish👍🏻
Thanks buddy! Yeah that square knife was found at a spot that usually spit out the old stuff. I’m not sure if the square knives were only used in the earlier time periods or not, but early archaic is the newest stuff that comes from that particular spot. That metal piece either hit a “rock”fish or one heck of a hard noggin! Haha
@ 👍🏻😂
Awesome finds man! That sure does look like a rolled conical copper point!
Great finds as usual
I appreciate it man, hope all is well!
Killer haul buddy
I appreciate it as always man!
👍 Luv that little adze. Hard to believe they would use that metal piece as a projectile point that they could possibly lose, most likely a awl as @johnduncan said or an ornamental piece, something prized and kept close.

Gosh dang man you are the goat as far as I’m concerned! Whatever you have figured out please keep doing or the earth will swallow them again
Great finds bro!! Love the small gray hardaway with the red tip…we don’t find many in these parts…and the copper rolled tip is fantastic!!!…would be cool to have somebody test the metallurgy to see if it came from the Michigan source way back when or if it was a trade scrap from the historic times??

Thanks for sharing ,it was a little warmer when you filmed these, lol
Always a pleasure man! But man, these finds were all found last July I believe. I’m wayyy behind on posting videos! Haha People probably enjoy seeing some warm looking scenery amidst the mini ice age we’re going through right now!
Bunch of killer finds, brother !!💥💥💥💥
You find any more information on the metal one ?
Amazing as always, man !!
😎✌️🍀⛏️⛏️
You found like three stemmed ones with the little banded orange gold at base of stems on thay dark green blue material. Beauties man. Good eye
Yeah, they were all found in the same general area. If they were found in the same spot I’d be inclined to think it might be a possible cache. I have 2 more found from the same spot that I found weeks after these were found. They will probably be in the next video.

Sweet finds! ♥ Please elaborate on your last find @18:40. Is that lead? 🤔
Thanks man! Found that last piece on a bank as the water had recently receded. No modern trash found there. Everything from mid archaic to woodland artifacts found there as far as I can tell. I had no clue what it was when I walked up on it. I’ve learned over the years to pick up anything that looks unusual or out of place.

Thanks for checking it out man! Like the new logo btw!
Crazy good finds! Middle TN, right?
I appreciate it! But yep, in and around the whole middle TN area. I live in the Nashville area and travel up to 1-1.5 hours in all directions in search of artifacts!
Is the last one a socketed metal arrow point? Cool finds!!
When I researched it, it was a dead ringer to the rolled copper points found more up north where natural deposits of copper were found. I’m thinking this piece might be lead though? I took it to a show to get some input and arrowhead is what people thought. They thought maybe lead also and although not unheard of, was unusual.

Lead Trade Point looks like to me.
Thanks for the input buddy!
rolled copper? could be an awl.
I think it’s lead… it sure has the weight of lead at least. Seems like most copper artifacts had more of a green / brown patina. I should run my metal detector over it, that would get to the bottom of it! Haha thanks for checking it out!
Copper or led on the point? Nice!
