- We have another video packed with artifacts from the ancient to the more modern. Starting with the modern we have a nice 1903 Indian head penny and an old flat button probably from the mid 1800's. The native artifacts in this video are among a wide range of time periods, tools, and projectiles. It was a busy month for me in Feb. and March has been even busier! I have tons of finds to put into future videos so be sure to keep a lookout for those. There are tons of upcoming artifact that are just too good to be true! If you would please like the video. It helps out more than you think! While you're at it be sure to subscribe to keep up with all of my upcoming finds. Thanks for watching!

Holly cow. The river was generous . thanks for having us along.
Congratulations on your finds thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Thanks again buddy, and I appreciate you checking it out! You know it’s a pleasure being able to share the finds.. it would be a shame to keep them all hidden from view!
Excellent videos every time keep them coming
Thanks you sir. I appreciate you taking the time to keep coming back and checking out the finds!
Thanks, nice points and tools!
Thank you sir, and thank you for coming back to check out the finds!
I can't wait to get up to the garage and get a cold beer in hand for this one!
🍻 Enjoy good sir! As always, I appreciate you making me a part of it. Wish I could be there cracking one open shooting the breeze.. One of my favorite pass time activities! Haha
@@Points365 The twofer at the end of the video was epic. Having a beer to you, good sir.
Thanks dude!!
I have been watching your collection grow for a few years now. I feel confident saying most museums would be green with envy !😎👍
You have for sure been a loyal and repeat watcher for quite some time, and I sure do appreciate it! From what most museums I’ve seen have displayed I would agree for sure! But it’s probably what they have stuffed away in their basements that would really make people envious!
Good grief man! You always pull some killers. I laughed when you found the button and washed it and brought out a 22 hollow point. 😂 keep sharing the good stuff. The only thing I don’t like about your videos, is that you are finding them instead of me. Lol keep up the good hunting.
Thanks as always buddy! Haha I kind of threw myself off when I rewatched that button pull.. I did a double take wondering what the heck I just witnessed! I had totally forgotten about picking up that .22 round that was in the water! I thought I had gone straight David Copperfield and didn’t even know it!😂 I appreciate it as always buddy. Even though you have to endure the agony of watching someone else find the artifacts, you always check out my vids, and I always appreciate it!
A bunch of smokers as usual!!!! That last one was outstanding and I love that scraper ! Good stuff brother 👍
Thanks as always buddy! Hope you’ve been doing good and keep tearing it up out there!
Good stuff, great finds.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! Thanks also for taking the time to watch and comment!
🪕👍🏹Too many to mention ,those adzes , choppers, scrapers👌 congrats on elk river . Tya kindly brother
Hey man, thank you! I always love finding a variety of artifacts and enjoy being able to share them. Glad you enjoy and appreciate you coming back to check out the new finds!
Beautiful finds as always!! And a nice Indian head for the case!!but wow on the two at the end🎉 just beautiful!! Congratulations!! Take care and happy hunting.
Thanks for the awesome video pal! Hope some of this rain will wash more of those amazing artifacts for you to find!
It’s a pleasure buddy and I’m glad you enjoyed! You know I’ll be watching out the window rubbing my hands together tonight! Haha thanks for checking out the finds!
The big spirit favors you or something, killer finds as always my man.
It must be the blood offerings I give on a regular basis… those sticker bushes wreak havoc on me out there! Haha Thanks again though buddy!
Some great finds buddy and we enjoyed watching. That Elk River is 🔥💯! We hope you all are doing good and thanks for sharing. Take care! 👍🏻
I really dig that double dude!
Thanks man! It doesn’t happen often enough that’s for sure! Haha thanks for checking it out!
Super!!! Thanks
It’s a pleasure buddy! Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Holy crap 😮👍 !!
Another amazing video, brother !! ✌ 🍀
Thanks buddy! It amazes me every time I find stuff still. The feeling never gets old and I’m sure you can relate! Haha thanks again for coming back to check out the finds buddy!
@@Points365 ,
Yeah, ya never get tired of it 👊😃👍
That Elk!!!
She’s a beaut! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Super nice points
Thanks again and as always buddy! Hope you are doing well!
Beautiful overshot flaking ! Awesome video once again, thanks for sharing and GL&HH
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! Y’all be careful out there and keep up with the killer finds!
Great finds buddy, the two together at the end were awesome. Congrats my friend
Thanks man! I could definitely get used to the double pulls. It doesn’t happen near enough! Hah thanks for coming back to check out the new finds!
What some killers man , love em all right down to the awesome over sized thumb scraper ! But the flaking on the last one , whoa what some craftsmanship, always in aww brother you killed it again , thanks for sharing with us !
Thanks again buddy! I’ve had a few people comment on that thumb scraper. I’d say it’s been a hit! Hah But yeah buddy… I never understood what the point in such intricate flaking was for on artifacts like elk rivers? Or was it purely just a show of skill?! It seems like an unnecessary and difficult addition. An addition I’m not complaining about one bit I might add! It makes for some showy pieces! Haha
@@Points365 I had always thought that maybe it was tradition or a nack that was passed down through the generations, plus I’m sure showing off that skill , high level skill .💎
Skill indeed! With their lack of written history, their culture and traditions are truly one of the greatest mysteries. As much as people like to proclaim their theories as facts, we really know so little about day to day life of these ancient people.
@@Points365 I agree a hundred percent! What it would be like to see and try and live with them , day to day survival
Nice finds thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Killer Elk River. That oblique transverse flaking is the dead giveaway ...damn copycats! not a single original thought in their heads. 🤣 Nice finds
Haha thanks buddy! Somebody had to come up with that point type, so there was at least 1 original though! Haha Thanks as always man!
@@Points365 😆
So Gorgeous I love ❤️ the flaking on that Artifact Points 👍 Gorgeous 👍
Thank you! It was quite the surprise after cleaning the mud off of it revealing the flaking on it. I keep a toothbrush and dish soap in the boat when I’m hunting for instances like this! Haha thanks again for coming back to check out the finds!
Incredible finds ! Excellent video and editing ! You live in an area rich in history !
Thanks buddy! The TN valley does seem to be somewhat of a hotbed for ancient history, im just glad I’m able to get out to recover what I can and share it with everyone here. Thanks for coming back to check out the new finds!
That Elk River is beyond incredible. That oblique flaking is beautiful, very skillfully done. That was nice to see you get a double, that other piece was probably another Elk Creek too.
Thanks buddy! That particular spot has become my elk river hotspot. Found another elk river there just the other day! The one that was broken, after cleaning, was no doubt another elk river. I can’t wait to see what else comes from that spot! Thanks for coming back to check out the new finds man!
New subscriber. Love the feeling of these videos. And the finds!!
Hey man, Thanks for the sub! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Just checked out your channel.. I’m all about some finds of any sort! Keep up the good work!
As I was watching your video today I saw what looked like a nice point laying on the bank as you were bending over to pick up that indian head penny. It may not be but it was a brown wide point, maybe a Thebes. Time stamp is 7:54 that shows it the best. You sure do have some awesome places to hunt too. Best of luck to you.
Whew man I hope you are wrong! I see what you’re talking about… I’m pretty sure it’s mud that just so happens to be in the shape of a base. I’m gonna tell myself that at least! Haha But surely I would’ve noticed that! Good eye though man. It always amazes me how fast, and what people can spot in my videos! Thanks for the input and for taking the time to check it out!
Nice clear camera you have there! Nice work.
Thanks so much! I make a conscious effort to make sure the quality and clarity of my videos make up for the lack of words! Haha Let the artifacts speak for themselves. I appreciate you checking it out!
Is that a faint Masonic symbol on that button ? Very nice collection of scrapers and knives ! And that last one…incredible ! Enjoyed, Thanks !
Amazing mate, a couple of those points are so similar to the one I wear everyday. Your videos blow my mind 💚
Thanks buddy! It blows my mind too.. I still am in disbelief just about every time I pick one up! I’m glad you’re enjoying the artifact as well!
Incredible finds man! Insane 2fer! Love the flaking!
Thanks as always buddy! A 2fer is always an added bonus for me… broken or not! Hah I’ve had a few 2fer’s here lately, so there will be more to come! Thanks again!
Nice scraper.
Thanks again!
Although I fished the elk I did not look for points there. I missed a good opportunity. Very good finds. Like your videos.
Awesome video my friend.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!
Good Afternoon Points 365 👋👍😃
Good afternoon Sharon and glad to see you back!
The quality of your finds are off the chart. That’s why you are a rock star ⭐️ lol. Thanks you for your hard work I know you put in a lot of time and effort. That Clovis is waiting for you. Lol
Dang dude, you could have a artifact show with just your stuff !!! And it would be great !
Oh man… no way! I see the stuff they have at those shows. It always makes me go home with my tail tucked! Lol But nah, I’m proud of my hard earned collection! I appreciate it though buddy!
Fine relic hunting as usual, great spot on the slimy/algae Elk River. I know how difficult it is to spot them covered like that👍🏻
Thanks buddy! But whew… looking for them when they are all covered up like that, your eyes are tired after a full day of hunting! As always man, I appreciate you taking the time to check em out!
I could watch your videos over and over, thank you for sharing and such quality, I say Holy Cow with every find !
Thank you very much! You should see it when we have family gatherings.. I or someone else will start playing my videos on the living room tv to see my finds.. me, my brother, and a couple others could sit there watching it for hours… the rest of the fam I think would rather watch paint dry!😂 I appreciate your appreciation for artifacts, and for taking the time to check mine out!
I was always fascinated by ancient artifacts and I think missed my calling, by taking photography classes 45 years ago instead of anthropology.
Well that’s how it goes… hindsight is always 20/20 you know! Did you make the most of your photography skills over the years?!
I’m afraid I did not, however , my Apple I-phone has turned me into a pro! I just need a few more discoveries and artifacts from the area, and some networking maybe…. Wish we had more museums here , too.
More awesome pieces for your collection! Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy! The ever growing collection, with the ever shrinking storage space. I guess I’ll have to start gluing them to the walls.. and the fridge… and the headboard… and the washing machine… haha Thanks for checking out the finds!
The area in which you searhed is gorgeous. It must be very peaceful walking the banks of that river. Hopefully you don't have too many boats passing by to disturb your solitude. I didn't see your dog this time. Thanks for sharing your artifact adventures.
Thank you sir! It is quite enjoyable being out and admiring all of the wondrous beauty that surrounds us. The colder months is definitely quieter. Come summer people will be tubing and wakeboarding circles around me all day. But currently it’s too cold for most people to get out, but warm enough for the spring bird action to be in full swing! I’m loving every minute of it… artifacts or not!
Awesome!!! A smorgasbord of finds. Awesome!!!
Thanks buddy! I love a good variety of artifacts, new and old! Hope you’ve been well.
Nice finds brother and a smoker to end it..
Thanks as always buddy, I appreciate you always taking the time to watch and comment!
I'm at work hiding out so I could watch it got the notification and took a break so I could LoL 😂
Haha oh man that’s too funny! I know the feeling.. they try to tell us at work we have to clock out to use the bathroom! We just laugh at em and roll our eyes at them on that one!🤣
You heard anything about a Jackson show?
I just now checked a few sites. So far they haven’t announced a date yet. If they were gonna do it, I would’ve thought they would have announced by now.
Great finds all!!!!! That last piece was a true smoker!
Thanks buddy I really appreciate it and as always, I appreciate you taking the time to check out the finds!
@@Points365 I made a couple of pretty cool rescues in my last episode, swing by and check it out!
Great as usual. Never seen thumb scraper that big. You caught the water WD (way down) couple times. Always got me so excited. Site you found the Elk River must not get that low often with that “filmy mud”. Loved that penny. Your presentations have such great balance spanning probably 15k years. Enjoy your vids so much.
Yeah those shaped scrapers are like you mentioned.. quite a bit smaller! Maybe that scraper was the one they used when their hand got stung by a wasp or something! Haha But man you know it!! Catching the water just right is like hitting the lottery to me. I caught it just right last week. Found 15 in one day. Ended the week with a tally in the mid 30’s. I have SO MANY artifacts to share! From all different time periods as well. I’m glad you enjoy the extras I put in there from time to time. If there’s something I find interesting and relatively old, i try and add it in the mix. I have some good bottles, bullets, silver coins, and gold buttons that are all coming up in future videos. It might take a while to get them all in videos though! Thanks again for coming back and taking the time to watch and comment!
@@Points365 dang. I estimated that I averaged finding an “a case” point once for every 4 times I went out. Granted I did not have a boat but 15 in one day. Wow.
That pottery shard looks like some Meso-American stuff.
I don’t know much about the meso American style, but I do find quite a bit with the rigid rim in a few spots that I frequent. It’s always slightly different, but of a similar style. I would probably do a polar plunge into the water if I found a whole bowl! Fat chance of that happening though! Haha Thanks for coming back to check out the new round of finds buddy. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos!
No doubt the star of the show was the monster Elk River with its superior diagonal flaking! What an incredible artifact. Hopefully more make their appearance for you. That little side notch was a killer as well! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy! That little spot is small but productive. The highlighted elk river in my old video “my largest point found…” was found maybe a foot or 2 from where this one was found. Needless to say I can’t go by there without stopping to take a peek! Haha thanks as always!
Awesome finds as usual bud! Rock on!!
Thanks as always good sir! I appreciate you taking the time to check out the new round of finds!
Super hunt. That last one was amazing. So when do we get to hear Points365 talk? Lol
Thanks buddy! You might hear a peep out of me when I find a clovis cache or something… maybe! Haha I enjoy the anonymity though. I get to play dumb when talking artifacts with people!😂
@@Points365 if you find a Clovis Cache you better be screaming lol
I love your views on politics, LOL! Rock on Mr. 365
Lol! You probably would though… I’m not with all that crazy garbage. Thanks for checking out the finds Mr. Shamblin!
Sweet😎🏹
I'll be in LaFollette Tennessee this weekend hunting a couple different properties.
Thanks man! Good luck on your hunts this wknd. It looks like you’ll have great weather for it, and a little rain early sat morn to help uncover the goods! Are you going to be doing some field hunting? Or hunting some bodies of water?
@@Points365 both
You could almost throw a rock and hit us from there!
@@RESURRECTINGRELICS I couldn't make it this weekend. I'll be there next Friday and Saturday. You wanna get together for a hunt? Maybe Saturday afternoon/evening or Sunday.
@@RedEyedPatriot Yeah that sounds like a plan. You have family in Lafollette ? I was born n raised in Middlesboro 👍👍👍
damn!
Haha thanks man!
found 9 over the weekend myself. got too edite the footage then I'll post
Solid wknd man! If you’re like me, then editing and creating the video is the hard part!
HOLY SHEEP DIP, BATMAN! You're kill'n it out there. Good for you and thanks for posting. That one blade? in the shallow water, I only saw the small exposed base. You moved it, it popped up a couple inches farther down, I gasped and nearly got whiplash. And you say you have much more to post... I'll be anxiously waiting. BTW, the stone that kind of has a leopard pattern... Do you know the name? It's very interesting material.
Haha thanks buddy! I hear ya on that blade. The video and it being in the water made it hard to see the rest of it. On that piece of interesting looking material. I’m not that great with my materials, but it might be Dover chert. It has a brindle look to it and sometimes comes in different colors. Hope that helps! I’ve had a very productive past month or so.. I’ll be releasing footage of finds from March up until June! Haha thanks again buddy!
I'm surprised you don't find more points made of quartz!
Yeah me too! Just a little south of me and they find it left and right. I only have a handful of quartz pieces. I’d say they just preferred the workability of other materials that were more readily available. From what I understand quartz isn’t as easily worked. Just my thought. I do like the look of quartz though! Thanks for checking out the finds!
Great variety of finds on this trip. Is it rare to find two pieces worked from the same source of flint , chart etc ? Cheers.
Some places I hunt, just about all I find is artifacts made from only 1 type of material. Then other places, they used seemingly every material imaginable! In my personal experience I’ve seen it from both ends of the spectrum, so im divided on the answer! Haha Thanks for checking out the finds buddy!
Man. That piece at 6 minutes is sick! Would that be considered a Celt or adze?
Thanks buddy! In my unprofessional opinion I’d guess an adze.. but you know how it goes. You ask 5 different people, you’ll get 5 different answers… especially with artifacts! Haha I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Just fantastic saves!!! That last one is a killer!! How old are you thinking on that? That flaking was off the hook!!
Thanks again buddy! It makes me wonder why they put so much effort into that flaking? I was conversing with someone else about it earlier. It’s almost like going the extra mile with the fancy flaking was almost as a show of skill or something! But the book has those Elk River points aged around 6,000 years old. A blink of an eye geologically speaking! Haha
Was the little blacky before the pottery - a side notch Bolen?
I’m thinking big sandy on that one. I’ve found quite a few of those in that particular spot. There’s not much difference it looks like between the 2 really, other than areas they are typically found in.
Man, I'm soooo sick and tired of you findn killers and not sharin nary of your spots! lol
Haha ok ok fine… next video I’ll put the gps coordinates in the corner of the video for each find. That way we can ALL have a rat race to all my honey holes! Haha
@@Points365 lol
Native American steak knife 🔪
Haha Elk… it’s what’s for dinner!
@@Points365 yea elk 🔪😀
Just wondering, do you have to get permission the hunt on this spot from anyone or is it on a major river bank that is considered public land? Nice finds by the way!
Some of my finds are on my personal property. Some field finds. The rest are along major waterways like lakes, rivers, etc. I appreciate you taking the time to check out my finds buddy!
Carter County? Or Carty Counter?
I love those end scrapers. That is definitely a tool they used a great deal. Always enjoy watching!
Yeah man, I find quite a few of those end scrapers. So many that I just can’t share them all! If they are unusual somehow or made of interesting material I will usually show them. Until next time! I appreciate you coming back to check out the new finds!
Hot damn. This time of year is my favorite for hunting usually. Coming weeks are going to be good, thanks for sharing yoyr finds as always. You have some of the most primo sites that there are for surface hunting. From the first to the last, this edit is quality all day. I love thst harpeth/first point. Its slick nice
Thanks buddy! I hear ya on this time of year. When the rain falls, it uncovers so much! The nonstop wind this time of year keeps the waves slapping up against the waves which uncovers all kinds of goodies as well! Thanks for checking out the finds and good luck out there buddy!
I WISH SO BAD I COULD FIND FULL POINTS LIKE YOU 😭😭😭
Ahh man you know they are out there waiting on you! Broken ones are the name of the game for the most part though. I’ve estimated that I on avg find abut 20 brokes for each whole one I find. That’s the part that people don’t see on these videos… nor do they see the countless sun up to sundown days spent hunting! Haha keep at it man and good luck!
@@Points365 I found at least 40 broken. Never a full. Always a chip. I’m looking for a spear
