Arrowhead hunting TN - Fine TN dovetail AND the most unusual find!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2022
- It's been a couple months since my last upload.. The finds have been slowly coming in. The finds in this newest video are from the end of the summer months. The competition is getting stiff out at my usual sites, so I've spent more time hunting, and less time uploading videos lately. A few of my finds from this timeframe were interesting, including another nice dovetail found with an unfortunate impact fracture to the tip of it. Still a super nice point though! An oddity of an artifact recently found at one of my early archaic sites is an Egyptian looking pendant of some sort. No modern artifacts have been found there by myself personally, which makes this find even more unusual. Surely its not what it appears to be... or is it?! Ive heard the theory of the Egyptians making it to North America first. Could this be evidence? Or just an odd piece of modern jewelry, completely out of place? Your thoughts are welcomed in the comments below, and as always thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe to keep up with my upcoming finds. A recent fossil find of mine that was found wound up being a head scratcher to some experts. It's definitely worth checking out!
Persistence pays off brother! Keep on em! Awesome vid..
Great dovetail!!! And that Egyptian looking pendant is just COOL!
Thanks buddy! That’s the beauty of hunting for artifacts, you never know what will turn up! I’ve got a piece I found recently that will probably be in my next video that I’d like your thoughts on. You seem to know your fossils and whatnot pretty good. I found a chunk of sandstone I believe that has what looks like a petrified rib cage on one side. Big ribs too! I went back to that spot again and found all kinds of rocks in that one relatively small area with strange fossils on them, including many more with what look like ribs on them. I thought I would put it in the next video to try and get some thoughts on it from people. I sent pics of it to the geology / paleontology dept at a local college, thinking they might be interested in having a look at them. They never responded. 😒
@@Points365 Be glad to take a look!
Appreciate your awesome points..... You're a blessing to me... you're doing well and I am unable to go hunting due to time...At 74. My body is not standing up to the hunt...
Thanks again for your service to the house bound invalid and older generation. 💖🕊️☝️🙏
Man, it’s a pleasure to be able to share what I find. Hearing from people such as yourself make creating these videos all worth it. Hopefully my luck will continue and I will be able to continue sharing what I’ve been blessed with. Thank you for taking the time to check it out and for leaving a comment so humbling to read.
That pendant is a trip, hope it's silver and Old. Do believe was world trade back then, Alot of evidence of it. 14:26 is old, like that one. Dovetail location, hopefully more in area😁.
Blessins n thanks for the Hunts
That’s part of what I love about getting out on the hunt.. you never know what you’ll stumble upon! Speaking of the dovetail.. found another real nice one there last wknd. Tip still intact! That makes the 3rd one found at this particular site this year. It’ll be in one of my upcoming videos of course.. maybe not the next one though. I’m a little backlogged from not posting any videos for a couple months! Haha thanks again and as always for coming back to watch and comment on the vid!
Thanks for sharing 🍀⚡
It’s a pleasure buddy, thanks for checking it out!
Nice finds thanks for sharing and keep on rocking 👌
It’s my pleasure man, and I appreciate your comment and taking the time to check it out!
Killers again buddy!! And a charm thrown in!! I found an old maybe WW1 era German maybe button this week in a spot it shouldn’t be!! Still looking into it with some help from button YT guys.
Hey that dove looked like it had an old impact fracture then it was resharpened?? If so that’s super cool!!! You probably don’t remember but I finally hit some points on my dig site, got a full big sandy last dig, about passed out!!! That dates it back pretty far!! Stoked.. Keep hammering!!!
Dang man, that’s pretty wild! Like I told someone else.. that’s part of the thrill about artifact hunting, never knowing what you’ll stumble upon! It’ll be interesting to see what that button turns out to be. I’d have to go back and examine that dove though, I didn’t notice the tip being reworked. But like you said, that would be neat! That’s awesome the dig site finally giving up one to you! I guess it felt bad all that hard work put into shoveling all that dirt. A big sandy though… nice recovery and congrats!! There’s more there for sure!
@@Points365 I did get more points but the BS was the show stopper!! The oldest so far, all kinds of different points? Crazy well into Adena culture.
Wow, that metal artifact at the beginning sure is interesting! Have you found out anything on it yet? As always, great points! Killer triangle and impacted Dovetail! Super finds. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! That’s what you gotta love about hunting for artifacts.. you never know what’s gonna reveal itself to you! But I found something similar in a sale ad circa 1895-1905 that was a watch fob. Still an unusually neat and out of place find though! Thanks for checking it out!
Nice triangle!!!, I collect them.
Thanks man! I’m trying to find enough to have a big ol frame of them. I get neat frame ideas from these people at artifact shows that have more artifacts than they know what to do with apparently! Haha
Salut My Friend,
I hope all is well in your neck of the woods, it has been awhile since I have had the pleasure of inquiring.... though, I must say; this video made that wait all worthwhile, now that I see you are out and mobile, healthy and walking the creeks!
Quite an interesting charm you found, thank goodness you weren't accosted by scarab beetles fetching that trinket up! So many great points to boot, and one of the best double picks I have ever seen! ....what a rarity! But you know, I think each artifact has it's own merit regardless their shape, both exquisite and rough in form. You must feel similarly, the care you give that allows the viewer full access to every angle.... one can see how each flake came loose, finish honing sharp the implement; that is ever appreciated!
Sending good cheer as always, may you and yours be found amply Blessed!
Thanks as always my friend! It’s been slow going this year compared to previous years, but they have been slowly found nonetheless. I’m backlogged on making videos for sure. I have enough new finds to make a couple more videos, but it seems like it takes me longer to put together a video than it does actually getting out and finding them! Thank you as always for the thoughtful comment, it’s always appreciated.
Awesome finds , enjoyed watching 👍👍👍
Thanks man, I appreciate you coming back to check out the new finds!
@@Points365 awesome finds they were👍👍👍
Lol, those damn alien's !!!!! Nice artifacts !
Haha you’re not the first to suggest that! But thanks man, I appreciate it!
Yeah I was referring to your comment to action Jackson, thought it was quite funny!
I’m going to make artifact hunting in a tin foil hat the new norm! Haha
East TN here...
The links and chain can sometimes date more closely than the piece.
Although a very much older piece can just be on a relatively old chain..
Thinking out loud
Thanks for the input man! Any and all is appreciated. Thanks also for taking the time to check it out!
The Egyptian pendant has to be from the 20s. After kinf Tuts tomb and the Rosetta Stine was found there was a huge interest in Egypt. I bet that's from the 20s or 30s. Awesome fund nonetheless.
Yeah after some more investigating thanks to being pointed in the right direction by people that watched the video, I found it in a catalog that was dated between 1895-1905. I can always count on people watching these vids to identify what the heck I find! Haha thanks as always buddy!
ps dont clean it
So the Egyptian pendant is from the late teens or early to mid twenties. You could order them ot of magazines. It was a big fad then because of the discovery of king tuts tomb by Howard Carter.
Thanks for the input man! That’s why I love posting these finds on here, knowledgeable people like yourself chime in and identify things for me! I looked it up and found it in a sale ad from 1905 I believe it was. So random! Thanks for chiming in and taking the time to check it out.
Stellar🎉. That pendant thing is so cool and unusual. And those point materials are beautiful. Always love watching. 😊
Thanks so much! But unusual stuff like that pendant is what makes out hunting so entertaining… you never know what will be around the corner waiting to be found! Thanks for commenting and for taking the time to check it out!
Hello my Friend, epic finds.... Thank You for sharing these Beautiful Gifts.....
It’s a pleasure! I’m glad to share these finds with like minded people that appreciate artifacts of all kinds. Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to check it out!
Looks like egyptian revival jewelry,I believe from early 20th century
Yeah you’re pretty much right on it! Someone suggested watch fob. I did some research and found something pretty much just like it in a catalog dated between 1895-1905. Never know what you’ll stumble upon while out hunting! Thanks for checking it out and for the input!
Thanks again for sharing your interesting finds. Always amazing how you respectfully recover those remains from past cultures.
Thanks again! The more I find the more my curiosity gets peaked. I was exploring a cave the other wknd. Found some really old 19th century graffiti, some of which was written over some graffiti that looked even older! I also found an interesting civ era artifact in there. Another interesting find I can’t wait to share! Hope to see you soon!
As always Great Adventure and incredible finds Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 😀 😊
It’s always a pleasure! I appreciate you commenting and taking the time to check it out!
Nice day that was 😎
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it! Hope all is well.
I reckon that Egyptian pendant came from a city in your own State....Memphis!
The aliens picked it up from Memphis and dropped it right here in the mid state! Haha
“Looks Egyptian but who knows? I too love the mud in between my toes, what’s around the next bend? If you don’t look you’ll never know” Awesome Finds, Thanks For Sharing, GL&HH!!!👊🏹
That’s part of the thrill of getting out and hunting.. never knowing what you’ll stumble across! I appreciate you coming back to check out the new finds buddy!
Sweet finds brother 🔥
Hard to pick a favorite
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! Haha and luckily I’m not making anyone pick… unlike me as a kid, bluntly asking my folks which child was their favorite. Haha I loved watching them squirm!
watch out. the smithsonian will come after you. awesome finds as always
Haha no joke… throw it in their vault with all the giant bones and whatnot!
Some nice points and that dove was killer God bless
Thanks buddy, I appreciate ya checking it out and commenting! Hope you and ol goat have been well.
That would not be the first Egyptian artifact found on this side of the Atlantic ( if it turns out to be ancient ) . Artifacts with Aramaic and Hebrew symbols as well . A lot more ancient peoples came to North and South America than we are led to believe . Some wonderful artifacts - and as usual a fine showstopper for the end ! 😎👍
I agree with you there.. I think the sea faring Vikings for one had been visiting the continent for decades before the official “first contact” as history books would have you believe. Thanks as always for the input and for checking out the vid!
It's thought that the Phoenicians actually mined copper around the great lakes, and even the Clovis culture came from Europe on boats.
I've seen that pendant and art as advertising but I can't place it exactly. It appears to be made of pot metal judging by the corrosion.
@@douglaskeeling6974 Clovis did not arrive on boats from europe lmao. The solutreans didn't even sail at all.
@@dingo9696 and your sources are?
You have zero proof, lots of proof they did. Most of the Clovis settlements are on the east coast in a very small area. Shoots the "land bridge" theory all to hell.
I’m a big fan of your channel keep up the good work and keep finding the good ones
Thanks buddy I really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment as well. You were the first comment… there should be some sort of prize for that! Haha
@@Points365 lol your welcome
Glad to see ya back! I would’ve been scratching my head too about the Egyptian piece..lol. As always, a great video and awesome showcasing of each artifact 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, sorry for being absent for a couple months! I have some backlogged artifacts to share from the past few months for sure. But indeed it was a head scratcher.. that’s what I love about artifact hunting, never knowing what you’ll stumble upon out there!
I have a smqll library detailing all north American visitors. "Michigan copper culture" describes exploratory Egyptian and Polynesian coywges in search of precious resources such as Michigan copper and other things like spices and furs ect, and there is smoke to this theory.
I can elaborate and refer you to certain other collaborative artifact finds.
Long story short, if you're not scamming us with some ebay garbage, you're holding something that will be destroyed by the Smithsonian if you give it up.
-Have it checked at an antiques or rare artifacts show, but don't disclose the location ECT. Say you got it in a lot of collectible antiques at a shop in Rhode island and it stuck out or something and you wanted to verify its authenticity ECT.
Could be $35,000 to a private collector. Dig the site of finding as well
I fully believe that there was all kinds of contact that happened pre European settlement. As you mentioned, I believe the Smithsonian etc. keep their thumb on history that would rewrite history. As much as I hoped it would be something to verify a history unbeknownst to us, thanks to the people that watch and comment helping me identify artifacts, I was led in the right direction to its identity. After doing more research in the right area, it appeared to be a possible Egyptian revival watch fob. I found one similar in a sale ad dated between 1895-1905. Still a neat find I think! Thanks for the insightful input, I do appreciate everyone that chimes in with thoughts on artifacts I find. Thanks for taking the time to check it out as well!
I live in Tennessee as well I go cave digging but would love to get together and show me the way you find them.
Man… that digging is some hard work! Rewarding, but hard. But as far how I find them… it really comes down to miles and miles under my belt. You can read the terrain, dirt color, and natural landmarks to help minimize the amount of miles you walk. But just getting out and walking creeks, lakes, rivers, and ditches is my go to. Water movement is what washes them out. Follow the water and you’ll eventually start finding them! What part of TN you in?
I live in scott county Tennessee or oneida area. Close to the big south foot park is not to far from me.
Awesome finds, man !! 💥 Always a good day, when I see you've uploaded a new show !! 👍 ✌
Thanks buddy I really appreciate that! It’s been too long since I’ve been able to upload. I’ve got quite a few pieces backed up and ready to be put into a video… I’ll try to get one out in a couple weeks! I appreciate you as always taking the time to check it out and commenting!
Killer stuff as always man. That Egyptian piece was peculiar. The dove tail was super nice, even with the tip gone.
Thanks again and as always buddy! But man you know I was bummed to see that impact fracture on the tip, but I was still excited to be the one to pull it!
Proves the theory that Egyptians were traveling across the sea to reach what we call America long before the Spanish ever did.
It could possibly be Mayan but looks more Egyptian. Either are possible though.
As amazing as that would be… and as much as I do believe the Europeans were not the first here from the old world, I think this piece dates from the late 19th - early 20th century. From my research the Egyptian themed accessories were in style then. I think I even found something similar to it in a sale ad from 1905. Still an unusual find none the less! Thanks for the comment and for checking out the finds buddy!
That's the way to do it!! Tip toes through the artifacts! Your finds are awesome as always. The Egyptian pendant looks old but would have to be looked at by a professional. I know in the 1800s there was a big Egyptian craze! Great find. All the artifacts are beautiful and the materials are beautiful. The Dovetail is beautiful and it looked to be well loved. Love your videos and happy hunting.
Haha as I tell people, I like to feel it when I step on one! Out of all the years I’ve gone barefoot, I think I’ve only found 1 by stepping on it. I’ve had to switch over to boots now… that time of year.☹️ But I agree with you on the Egyptian pendant. I found one similar online in an old catalog that dated from 1895-1905. I believe it’s probably from that period. Thanks again and as always for watching and commenting!
@@Points365 🤣
The dove tail rocks, that triangle is a very nice find. Keep at em 👍🏹
Thanks buddy! Stinks about the impact fracture in the tip, but I’m still glad to have found it! Thanks for checking it out man!
Awesome finds brother, saves !
Quite unusual I’d say ! Strange finding something like that . But you never know what’s hanging around in the silt . Thanks for sharing and glad to see another great video from you .
Thanks buddy! I hear ya though.. that’s part of what I love about artifact hunting. You never know what you’ll stumble across! Thanks again for the comment and for checking out the finds!
What some more great points my friend! It’s great to see you back! I know it takes a lot of time and effort to put all this together. Love your videos as always and thanks for sharing them!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. For me, it does take an effort to make a video… for 1, that means I have to stop hunting! Haha and 2, I’m just slowww on a computer! I get it done though. I really haven’t been finding as much this year, all I seem to consistently find is other peoples footprints! Maybe one day when I retire I can be that guy leaving prints out there on a Tuesday afternoon! As always, thanks for the comment and for coming back to check out the new round of finds. I’ll be sure to get a new video out in a couple weeks!
Killer stuff as always, you find the best stuff!!!!! I met a retired guy from UPS that said he knew you pretty well .
Thanks man I really appreciate that! But yeah I think I know who you ran into. He’s my bud! He’s also one of the people that got me hooked on this hobby. He knows his stuff that’s for sure! We’re supposed to go one day soon out there in that area. Maybe I’ll see you around! Hope so, I enjoy meeting fellow hunters that are respectable people.
Very cool 😎 awesome artifacts as always 👍👍👍
Thanks man! Thanks again for coming back to check out the new round of finds as well.. it’s always appreciated buddy!
Great finds! Awesome dovetail!
Thanks as always buddy! Hope you’ve been doing well!
Hey brother. Your odd piece is a vintage Egyptian revival watch fob. If you Google that term you’ll see your exact piece and the part that are missing. Circa 1920’s. Great video as usual!
You. Are. The. MAN! That’s why I love posting these crazy finds… people like you are friggin on top of this stuff! Thank you so much for your expertise. I might need your help on one of my next upcoming videos as well. I crawled my way through 100+ yards of cave with only my pro pointer in hand. I found an old civ era button wayyy up in there. I also found a coin of some sort that’s corroded beyond recognition. Once it’s dry enough for me to crawl back up that cliff to get in that cave, I’m taking the ol Nokta Legend with me. Hopefully it’ll be able to find something a little deeper in the compacted dirt!
@@Points365 Sounds like a great video!
I left a blue tinted arrowhead in Knoxville when I moved to Utah,found it in a creek bed and it’s beautiful. I plan to get it back one day.
Whew… man, that sounds unusual and beautiful. Hopefully you left it in the care of someone you’ll be able to retrieve it from later! I’d be interested to know what type of material it was made of.
I always enjoy your videos and music. Any find is always a good find, some are better than others, but I take them all. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks man, and I’m with you on that! Some days all I find are flakes, and even then I’m still glad to at least see that. Because I’m sure we’ve all had those days walking just hoping to see at least a flake or some sign of inhabitance! Haha thanks again buddy!
The little point before the Dove would be a San Patrice here in East Texas! As Always, great stuff
It’s an interesting little piece. Looks like it was definitely someone’s favorite cuz it looks it was worn down to a nub! Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!
That was quite a bunch of nice points, from the very thin Madison to the Dove. The weird metal pendant looked Egypt-like . Buried like it was makes it even more difficult to explain!
Thanks man, I appreciate you checking them out! One of great things about artifact hunting is not knowing what you’re going to stumble upon!
Did you do any research on what exactly the pendant might be?
I did thanks to people commenting on here helping identify it. It looks like it might have been an Egyptian themed watch fob dating from the late 19th - early 20th century. I found one similar online in a sale as from 1905. Still an unusual find either way! Thanks for checking it out!
@@Points365 That’s cool 👍🏻
Man that was a pretty dovetail! I'd love to find one. Finally found me a banner stone. It's broke, but I'm still excited about it. It's on Maverick Lithics channel.
Thanks man! I don’t find many doves, and most of them come from 1 particular spot. A spot that produces maybe 3-4 pieces a year. But congrats on the banner stone! Broken or not, it’s still an awesome and incredible find! All I’ve found is broken banner stones myself. Just like you probably do, I display it proudly!
Killer finds buddy, my favorite was the little big sandy lol. To bad that dove tail was missing the tip but its still a show piece
Thanks buddy! But I’m with ya, I was kind of partial to that little piece. It was obviously favored by them due to it being worn to a nub! Haha thanks as always man!
Nice finds as usual. Brave person to go barefooted. I saw way to much barbed wire and broke glass in my day.
Thanks buddy! But I hear ya… I walk light. I like to feel the arrowheads beneath my feet! Haha But so far I’ve only stepped on rusty barbed wire once, no glass yet, a few cuts from flakes as my foot was sliding in the mud, and PLENTY of thorns! The cold is here now, so I’ve begrudgingly brought out the boots! Thanks again for checking it out man!
Man. I really enjoy your videos, and I will stick by my word to get you up here to Western Kentucky. Keep it up.
Haha thanks man, I really do appreciate it! I heard just yesterday about that show that was in Gilbertsville over the wknd. Had I known about it earlier I probably would’ve gone. KY shows are always good due to the quality pieces you guys find up there!
Awesome Dovetail. Very nice finds all around. Did you take a picture of the pyramids on your trip to Egypt, Ha Ha. Very odd object to find on a waterway in North America. Wouldn’t you love to know the story. Sure looks Egyptian to me. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Haha yeah I thought it was odd enough to add to the mix of finds! I’m pretty sure it was aliens that planted it though… I’m still working on getting my proof of that though. Haha Thanks though buddy! Hope you’ve been doing good.
the effigies are pagan as well and stack to make pagan gods when you have all the pieces
I did go back with my metal detector.. All I found was another small piece of rectangular copper that looked like it was of similar type and age as this piece. Thanks again man!
Great recoveries buddy, glad you're finding stuff even though the water levels are down.
I hate that they cancelled the Jackson show, was really looking forward to hanging out and checking out some neat artifacts.
Thanks buddy! The finds have been coming in slower this year than they usually do, but still slowly coming none the less. It seems like shows are getting cancelled more often these days. When’s the next show you’ll be hitting up?
@@Points365 not sure when a show is near me. Guess I need to get on that interweb thing and find a show LoL I usually see them advertised on Facebook groups I'm in.
Shoot around my parts. Decatur alabama area. That what we wait for year round! Talking about some killers whe them dams open them locks
Super finds. You’ve go the best river spots
Thanks buddy! All these spots are getting more and more traffic it seems like these days. Used to have it to myself it seemed like.. then a couple years ago I started seeing people I’ve never seen before at the most random little spots! I think they put a tracking device on me! Haha
@@Points365 wait I can put a tracking device on you? Hmmm. I could find nice points hmmmm. Jk good luck on next one
Haha Oh great… I’ve given people ideas! Haha
@@Points365 quick delete the messages.
These posts will self destruct in 3…2…1… 💥
Lol
He’s back
With a vengeance no doubt!😂
That piece at 6:45 looks very similar to a piece I have from the Tennessee River. I was told it was hafted and used to scrape fresh water mussels off of the rocks. But who knows?
That’s an interesting thought on that piece. As of now I’ve thought it was a small sized digging implement. Though it lacks the polish digging tools usually get. But it looks exactly like a dozen or so hoes that I’ve found that are basically just like it in every way, just bigger. Thanks for the input and for checking it out man!
That odd pendant could have been given to a Native American by someone from Egypt in the 1800s. I think alot of people from Africa used to come to the US to hunt buffalo and were infatuated with Native American culture if I'm not mistaken? Cool find whatever it is and however it got there
That’s an interesting thought that I haven’t heard from anyone yet. Thanks man, I appreciate the input and for you taking the time to check it out!
Bro, every day you post a video is a good day. Your channel is one of my favorites as you find all the same types and materials I find too. You've got a lot of epic sites to cover man, seriously impressive and I envy your ability to find stuff of this caliber consistently. River is tough with higher density population, always someone else footprints covering the best sites. That dovetail is a fkn sight for sore eyes even with the tip knick. Don't see tons of dovetails mid state really.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. But I tell ya, it’s getting harder every year to keep the top notch stuff coming. Seems like a couple years ago everyone decided to take up artifact hunting as a hobby. Like you said… it’s footprint after footprint pretty much everywhere. I’m convinced people just walk and and every bank. But Ive found plenty of stuff in someone else’s footprints, so it doesn’t deter me from looking. Agreed on the doves. They seem to be few and far between. I only have a handful of them, all of which have mostly come from 1 particular spot. Funny thing is, that particular site sucks 99% of the time.. but when it produces it’s usually nice! Thanks for the comment man, I enjoy hearing from the locals. Good luck out there… I’ll be looking for your footprints! Haha
Nice I have found 3 dovetails in my 62 years of hunting that’s a nice one I don’t know what to make of the metal it looks like the Anunnaki ? Great video 🔥
Thanks buddy! I don’t find many dovetails, most of which have all been found at 1 particular spot. It seems like most of them that I find have a missing tip as well. I’m still glad and proud to have found them! Thanks again for coming back to check out the finds man!
Do you ever do any flintknapping bruh?
I tried once before to give me some perspective on how much went into creating these artifacts… hah I couldn’t even get a rough shape of one made! Made me realize the people that made these had some serious skill!
@@Points365 you find a lot of nice stuff. Competition will find you
Where have I been I've obviously missed something :-) well he is that copper was that a steamboat gal or something that lost it over the side? Beautiful finds great day good seeing you until next time. Scott
Haha steam boat girl! That’s pretty good.. she must’ve had a heck of an arm on her to chuck that baby way up in the woods like that! Haha Thanks though man, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Hey man! Where have you been? Thursday night garage nights just haven't been the same without your two week videos. I would think that pendant might be a Freemason watch fob. Cheers from Canada
Haha man funny you chimed in… when I made this video last night, I asked my woman if I should schedule the video to come out on Thursday as usual. She said “no way, you’ve got to release it tomorrow. It’s been too long since you’ve put one out.” My response to that was “but what about my boys night in the garage on Thursday night?!” Lol She convinced me on doing it today obviously! But man.. it’s just been a busy year for me. That and for some reason everyone and their granny gets out artifact hunting now. I’ve been coming up empty handed more often than usual. But I’m glad to finally get another vid out and glad to hear the Thursday night shenanigans are still going strong!
Awesome finds as usual. Was that pendent made by the JA Pan Co? Lol
Haha i wish it had some sort of makers mark of some sort! That would be too funny to look it over real good again and see a “Hong Kong” stamped on the bacon haha
I watch people dig 4 ft down to find points and you walk around picking em up like they were dropped yesterday
Eroded out of the banks yesterday… most definitely. I own property that has a known camp on it. I’ve never dug it YET because it’s just easier hunting the way I hunt. When times get hard I might try digging!
You get the readers digest version here though… these videos don’t begin to capture the hours, miles, and weekends spent walking fruitlessly searching.
I’m curious about the first piece you found and what culture of people or period was it from. Another good day at the office.
If I were to guess I’d think it was a relatively modern piece.. I don’t find any modern junk / artifacts where I found that particular piece though. Just mostly native artifacts from the archaic period. It’s an unusually out of place find for sure!
Awesome recoveries as always.Curious about what the material was on the Dove.Buffalo River????, Reason I ask I have a LL that's made of a very similar looking stuff but nobody has made to many guesses about it, and as for me,I don't have to have an opinion from a authenticator and pay them to guess about the material type I have.LOL I for sure know its authentic even if I never know the material.:>)
Hey brother! I noticed your question about the material on this dovetail. It is for certain patinated buffalo river and was a very common material for dovetails in Tennessee. I’m sure your LL is BR if it has the bullseyes of light purple and oranges along with any combination of other colors actually. Hope you’re doing well buddy!!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! I’m glad ol K B chimed in with his expertise, because material type isn’t my strong suit! I’m glad for the input though, it’s good to know!
What type of point is that at the 15:50 mark. I found a broke in my garden with the same type notching and same type base. I would appreciate if you could help me with identification! Thank you, stellar finds as always!! Take care and best of luck.
Hey man, sorry for the belated response. But the artifact at 15:50 is a dovetail. They are quite old artifacts (early archaic), estimated to be between 8-10,000 years old. If I found one in my garden I’d be lowering that plow a little deeper when turning it over! Haha hope you find some more! Good luck and thanks for checking out the finds!
@@Points365 Im doing a dig and sifting. I opened the hole today and will be digging when I have time. Thanks for the info. I thought it was a Dovetail as I thought the one I found was one. The material threw me off some. I'm going to do a short video to get people's opinions on it.
♥
Thanks buddy, and as always thanks for taking the time to check it out!
😎🏹🤟
Thanks man, I appreciate you checking it out!
Need to take a metal detector back there.
Oh you know I did! Found 1 small piece of copper that was 1/2” x 1/8” in size. That was it. I took my metal detector into a cave recently. Found an interesting find in it! It will be in one of my upcoming videos. Thanks for the input and for checking it out man!
its not egytian it pagan...and about 10k years old...those are pagan gods my friend.. to the right person you can retire of that piece....much love
I can only dream of that! But man, it’s a head scratcher for sure. Your thought about it is definitely one of the more interesting ones! I’ll have to see if I can do more research on it. And don’t worry… I didn’t clean it other than lightly brushing the mud off of it. Thanks for checking it out and for the input buddy!
It’s a watch fob from around the 1930 you can still find them for sale for around 50 bucks. The one he found is missing 2 pieces.
If it was 10 thousand years old it would be corroded away and nothing left
