Well., I call stretches of creek with artifacts "hotspots"..,but they are actually eroding out of an ancient campsite within the banks and becoming part of the streams' gravel system. The artifacts are middle archaic to early woodland period ( 4,000 - 1,500 BC ).....so.,for about 2,500 years different cultures camped on the same site....that's a lot of time to lose things or somehow leave them behind....thanks for commenting Kent
@@Theditchwalker I ain't a scientist, but flint probably is one of the hardest to erode rock types. Being nearly flat I can imagine stream water moves them along easily.
Appreciate the kind words Sally....I've been fascinated with this sort of thing since I was ten.....a burning passion that will never go away I suppose....thanks for commenting
Interesting that the bottom and all rocks are uniformly coated dark olive with algae and silt... Except the pointed of interest.. which have very very light coatings.
Amazing finds. I am in Maryland and I have a creek that my Grandfather told me held several Indian encampments. He was friends with some of the young males when he was a kid. He had a huge collection of items from the area. I’ll try and use some of this information to see what I can find. I’ve always wanted to go back and search the area with my boys.
@@Theditchwalker thanks for sharing what you do. It’s a thrill for me to see these ancient artifacts discovered right in front of my eyes. I have always appreciated the discovery and preservation of those amazing things that came before us. Keep up the great videos!
I spent an afternoon (3 hrs) by Dierks, AR one year and found about a dozen arrowheads and other tools in the piney woods on a rock ridge going down to a creek. It was a great experience. Subsequently, looked in my own backyard (along the bank of an old river channel) after I took off 4-5 inches of sand in Longview, WA. Found a half dozen tools there, and a nice scraper in river rock at a local savings and loan just laying there. When I was a kid I found a rotted out yew bow also. The stuff is all around if you just notice.
Absolutely.....I tell people "they're in every stream if your diligent enough.,just some are way better than others" ...people inhabited this land for 12k+ years....that's a lot of time to lose things.....thanks for commenting
I'm a Mississippi girl. Over here in Vicksburg. I'm part Cherokee and Blackfoot. And my heart and soul wants to go hunt SO bad. Always has. But I never know where to go!
I used to live in Clinton and a friend of mine took me hunting near vicksburg....a tiny feeder ditch we were hunting was loaded......your in a good area... just to your east.,should be good ...all creeks and feeders are not created equal...some are better than others...but nearly all of them have artifacts that can be found if you are persistent
Mine too! My Dad didn't know the technical aspects of identifying points, but he had a deep appreciation for ancient peoples, and loved showing us kids the points he and my uncle found.
I appreciate it ya'll....I feel you.,believe me. I lost my dad when I was just 15 years old. He got me started around 10 years old....when I was 12.,he got me a Mississippi projectile point guide and I started studying point types. He had a massive heart attack in 1990 at age 47. Thanks for commenting
Man killed it brother! That rain we got was even better than the last! Ain’t nothing more exciting than a new creek with some points in it! I also thing the best pieces I have found are always first time at new spots nobody been to, and always looking for the elevation changes!
Love these videos man! I've been watching your channel for around 5 years. The hunting I do in Ohio never yields anything quite like this. My jaw dropped at the drill... I've found several broke ones, but nothing of that size! One of my videos has my broken drills + a broken gorget. Once again I'm blown away with the diversity of your finds! Keep it up and good luck out there😎
I'm surprised you aren't finding things in Ohio because the ancients were there since before 2400BC, and Ohio land was included in the "Great War" around 400AD, which was a fullout genocide on each other, so something has to be there. Also, there are ancient artifacts there from peaceable times, too. The Adena and Hopewell were no small civilizations--they had built whole cities, had sophisticated forts, knew metallergy well, and a huge copper mine in northern Michigan was thr main source of their copper for weapons of war and farming equipment, and armor. The Great War started around Illinois, went to Ohio, and the chase went from there to upstate NY, where a great slaughter happened and then the chase went straight south as far as to Kentucky where it was a real bloodbath, so much so that none would dwell there for even as long as when Daniel Boone came. That us one reason he was able to build a home there, because they would live there. They would still hunt there, though. "Kentucky" essentially means "land of blood". So that gives you an idea of where a lot of arrow heads and spearheads would be. Wayne May has pictures in some of his TH-cam videos of a lot of artifacts that have been found in the midwest and around the Great Lakes. Also historic newspaper accounts of people finding artifacts since six the pilgrams arrived. There are only about 1,000 earthworks left, but around 199,000 were leveled, destroyed and looted for artifacts for re-working for the settlers farming tools since tree 1600's. Something could be right under your nose. My husband's grandpa used to go out onto the newly plowed farm fields right after the rain and find newly exposed arrow heads in Indian Springs, MD. I think that area follows the path the took from where they came. These people were especially active around Ohio, Illionois, eastern Iowa, south of Ohio, half of PA, all of MD, the Virginias, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, and on down to FL with tonalities in between. Some headed westward in a state of war (after 592BC), but the ones who arrived around 2400BC also headed westward, and only as far eastward as about the western 1/3 of PA abd down to Kentucky. Those two groups never knew each other because the Adena (2400BC) also became a warring people and wiped each other out in a big war. The Adena were known to be extremely large in stature, and had flee oppression from Assyria. So their artifacts are also still being found and discovered. Don't expect the Smthsn to cooperate, though. They have their own agenda and hide the truth a lot. But these people both iriginated from civiliations as equally sophisticated in knowledge and order as Jerusalem when it was at its best before its destruction in 600BC. A few who fled during both ears of oppression, came here. Long story, but many tribes have lore of it. I'd just look harder in Ohio! You never know. The government had many forts leveled and cleared, and one in particular was a fort with Jewish designs in it. Squires and Davis called it "the Hannukah Fort" in their book and they surveyed the whole thing before the government ruined it for political reasons. There are photos if gheir diagram online and their many earkwork surveys are in thrur published book(s) still in the Library of Congress. Where these places are, no doubt, are artifacts, still. I doubt all of the arrowheads alone will ever all be found.
It's crazy, your "not too bad" points are the kind that are the highlight of other videos. You get on some awesome artifacts, brother. Really enjoy your videos.
You always have the best videos with the most impressive finds and thank you for the lesson on topography! Quite funny people think you plant your arrowheads haha.
I appreciate it....some people think that because they go out a few times and don't find anything that nobody else can....what they don't realize is that I eat sleep and breathe this stuff and have been for many years. I hunt year round every year....not just sometimes. Thanks for commenting
Beautiful points. I lost a good-sized collection when my house burned down in April of 2023. All from northeast Tennessee where I lived and hunted most of my life.
Awesome video, takes a special kind of person to do what you do, I found a few points in some plowed fields when I was a kid and always wanted to know more about them but life got in the way, keepum coming!
It really does....when the occasional person comments about planting points..,they don't realize that I study this stuff and hunt year round....and have been for many years before youtube. Thanks for commenting
Wow!!! Incredible finds, I'm sure there will be a few more video's from those ditches. Man I felt your pain on that drill, that hurt my feelings. You never fail to bring it my Friend 👍
Appreciate it Rockytop...appreciate you hanging all these years....You never know what's in these streams until you walk up them and have a look....always appreciate your comments sir
Appreciate it Michael.....oh that's coming for sure....I just don't know if we'll get a good enough rain here to flush it out.....it's way up in there and it takes a lot of rain to get the water flowing.....that's where my shovel comes into play...🙂 goodluck out hunting my friend
Wow! What some GREAT finds. I love to arrowhead hunt. Ive found a lot n south Ga. Now those r true treasures. Noghting like finding a hole one and feeling the excitement. Ur video has giving me an itch to go hunting. Been waiting on those fields to get plowed and rain . I'm excited for your finds. Enjoyed the adventure. Thank you. Stay safe out there and God bless.
Sure do enjoy your videos, thank you for telling about each point/rock. It feels as if we are right there with ya and we can feel the excitement you still have with each find.
I think I'm just as intrigued as I was when I was a young boy lol....beginning at 12.,I started studying point types...I wanted to know how old everything I found was lol.....thanks for commenting
I think you've hit a little motherlode! Excellent finds all along the way. I used colored pencils on my topo maps to help me, that was a long time ago. Keep up the good work, very impressive. Tell Shannon that was a keeper for sure.
Appreciate it Scott....oh yeah., they came home with me as well....I'm gonna put everything outta that ditch in its own frame...🙂...thanks for commenting
Yeah.,I should have done that.....I had so many obstacles during editing that I just wanted to get it up...I was already a week behind lol....I'll post everything in my community section...thanks for commenting
Holy moly man. That was an epic creek. That drill was insane. Even if it was broke. You’ll definitely have to get back in there. Clearly it doesn’t get checked very often.
Yep, I was listening to you 5 years ago. Thats where ALL my big points and quantity points comes from. I got good shells from them to .Congratulations on your finds my friend. Looking forward to seeing what you find next time. Good luck and God Bless...
Been following you for a while now. Really enjoyed this video. The extra information, finding different pieces was awesome. Helps learn me, my appreciated.
.Hi buddy. Theditchwalker is always a sure hit. Good finds. That broken drill also hurt me, friend. Enjoy the journey through that ditch of life. GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS.
I am extremely jealous that you live in an area where you can hike and find points. I would love to own even a broken find like the one with the tip broken off. So cool
Heck yes buddy!! Always fun locating some new spots!! Topo maps are the way to go. Some nice looking rocks coming out of that new ditch …I expect we’ll be seeing more from there soon!! Great vid Joe…..see ya on the next one. 👍🏻
Shout out from Vineyard Haven Ma. ! Loved this video, thanx. It’s amazing how the TH-cam algorithm suggests stuff… I live in Wampanoag territory and know guys that have amazing artifact collections here. I’ve never found any arrowheads - too busy working I guess. Spent a summer in Grenada about 40 years ago- man that’s a hot place. Good hunting to you and thanx again!
Man…what a honey hole ! I foresee many more trips up and down this watercourse in your future and many (hopefully) more great videos from you ! Fantastic find and artifacts !
I always enjoy your excursions and would love to be more involved in your kind of activities! I’m a real novice.. found my first point at age 60 plus… and don’t really know what I’m looking at. You seem very knowledgeable and I’m glad you share your experiences with us. I wish you’d give more basic details in describing items you find. Like explaining what the different periods and approximately when they were and what these points were used on, like arrows, spears, atlattle darts, cutting blades, etc. Any basic description of what they did, how they lived, how often they likely moved , how big their villages were, what tribes etc. Many thanks for sharing ! Keep looking, good luck!
You’ve got some good eyes brother. I like how you wait a second before picking up the artifacts. It’s fun to try to see if I can find it before you grab ahold of them. Thanks for the video and education. Take care👍🏻
@@Theditchwalker You’re welcome. I have to say that you have got me excited to start doing this again! Thank you for all of the advice as well. Btw, are there any books that you recommend regarding this? Take care and I hope you have a wonderful day!👍🏻
I used USGS topo maps a lot during my active hunting days, 70s primarily. I used maps to locate elevation and for scouting bluff lines for shelters. I literally had every quadrangle in each county I hunted. Topo maps are a great tool for locating sites. Great video as usual
Man oh man what killer ditch ! Literally ! Awesome finds brother ! I like to hunt quality before quantity as a rule of thumb but man that little flint creek point always gets my blood boiling! Not to mention all the Benton’s you been pulling! Killer man , thanks for sharing with us
Just happened up on ur channel !! Very cool 😎 U make me wanna go ask to walk up folks creeks looking for arrow heads and such . Very beautiful colors too !! Vicksburg,Ms here !! :)
I did not realize I wanted to watch someone searching for arrowheads until I saw you pickup that first one so easily. It looks like you frequent some good Bigfoot territory. He is out there.
Hey TDW, it's so cool Brother to see one of the old crew still out doing the stuff... Man, that drill had to be for a pipe or smoke-blower kind of thing, wouldn't you think???
Great finds man! You ever look aroud the spot where you find them for the rest of the piece? Like that drill, that would have been sweet,even though broke.
These hot spots, are they from animal trails and lost arrows from hunting or are they broken pieces tossed aside or?
Well., I call stretches of creek with artifacts "hotspots"..,but they are actually eroding out of an ancient campsite within the banks and becoming part of the streams' gravel system.

@@Theditchwalker I ain't a scientist, but flint probably is one of the hardest to erode rock types. Being nearly flat I can imagine stream water moves them along easily.
@@Theditchwalker That is incredible. They must have been the most perfect areas to camp, considering the time line. Thank you for replying.
Yessir my pleasure...anytime
Rock on brother
In a world of strife and ugliness it is always a pleasure to run across a person with passion for LIFE! You help keep the world spinning! Peace.

I came to the comments for the same thing that ain’t no leaf a big white point looks like
Yep yep!!!! Great eyes
What a beautiful creek, the points are just a plus 👍
I'm a Mississippi girl.
Over here in Vicksburg. I'm part Cherokee and Blackfoot.

That’s a dang good hunt Mr. Ditch! that broken drill hurts me all the way up here in NC! glad you’re finding🏆
I appreciate it....I couldn't believe it when I got up there in them...😳
That was a great trip..
Wow what a honey hole! That first point looks like a Dalton and that drill omg what a heart breaker ! You keep on Killin it out there brother! 👏
Prospecting is really paying off this year....I been needing some new places to hunt.....thanks for commenting

Love your stuff Ditchwalker..Northeast Arkansas here

Woooweeee! That was a fun adventure! Some seriously amazing finds and that drill!!! Holy cow it was a good one!

I always enjoy your excursions and would love to be more involved in your kind of activities! I’m a real novice.. found my first point at age 60 plus… and don’t really know what I’m looking at. You seem very knowledgeable and I’m glad you share your experiences with us. I wish you’d give more basic details in describing items you find. Like explaining what the different periods and approximately when they were and what these points were used on, like arrows, spears, atlattle darts, cutting blades, etc. Any basic description of what they did, how they lived, how often they likely moved , how big their villages were, what tribes etc. Many thanks for sharing ! Keep looking, good luck!
You are very much correct ....I learn and get new Ideas from comments like this and I appreciate it Thomas. Thank you for commenting sir
You’ve got some good eyes brother. I like how you wait a second before picking up the artifacts. It’s fun to try to see if I can find it before you grab ahold of them. Thanks for the video and education.
Take care👍🏻
My pleasure Chris....it took me a couple years to train myself not to snatch them up so quick and film the moment lol....thanks for commenting
@@Theditchwalker You’re welcome. I have to say that you have got me excited to start doing this again! Thank you for all of the advice as well. Btw, are there any books that you recommend regarding this?
Take care and I hope you have a wonderful day!👍🏻
Nice finds Joe!! Great video to!!!
I appreciate it....I'm itching to get back in there 🙃....thanks for commenting
I used USGS topo maps a lot during my active hunting days, 70s primarily.
I used maps to locate elevation and for scouting bluff lines for shelters.
I literally had every quadrangle in each county I hunted. Topo maps are a great tool for locating sites.
Great video as usual
I appreciate it Tony....thank you for commenting sir

I've found the prospecting bug this year....thanks for commenting
Just happened up on ur channel !! Very cool 😎 U make me wanna go ask to walk up folks creeks looking for arrow heads and such . Very beautiful colors too !! Vicksburg,Ms here !! :)
I've hunted in Vicksburg....they're around....they're everywhere if you know where to look...thanks for commenting
I live in the UP and I remember when I was a kid people found those arrowheads all the time.
Nice finds I'm hooked.
Appreciate it...glad you enjoy. Thanks for commenting
That was a killer hunt thay drill is still awesome!
I did not realize I wanted to watch someone searching for arrowheads until I saw you pickup that first one so easily. It looks like you frequent some good Bigfoot territory. He is out there.
Nice colors.
Glad to see you back! I think ditches like this only appear in Miss. and maybe west Tenn.
Maybe so.,but I think I could do it in any state....thanks for commenting
Yes, that is an awesome fines
Appreciate it G man...thanks for commenting
Hey TDW, it's so cool Brother to see one of the old crew still out doing the stuff... Man, that drill had to be for a pipe or smoke-blower kind of thing, wouldn't you think???
Great finds man! You ever look aroud the spot where you find them for the rest of the piece? Like that drill, that would have been sweet,even though broke.
Thank you. Oh yeah.,absolutely....but I know the chances are slim in the creeks....thanks for commenting
