- Arrowhead Hunting Mississippi...Digging tunnels into dry bars in search of artifacts...5 on the day....Digging vids will continue until surface hunting opens up....Thanks for watching
Have you thought about doing a video on your collection? You've found some awesome pieces over the years. It'd be something to see it all together.
killer finds my friend... keep them coming
Crazy...and love it! You moved a lot, but it still seems like a relatively "thick" concentration of artifacts locked up in there.
+creekdalton Thanks Creek......Yes.,we moved a good bit....I think ur rite.....5 rocks in 3 hours is pretty good.....We're gonna go down creek and dig some low-lying bars and see what happens....Best of luck out there buddy
Man you guys always find some great stuff! Keep it up!
+fallsgrave Thanks man...This is an old creek I used to hunt and laid off for about 10 years..,but back then I didn't dig it extensively..! It's on I hope lol..! We're gonna prospect down stream and hopefully get on some....Thanks for commenting and the best of luck to you
Enjoy your video's. Great point finds.. Nice to see a passion looking for stone implements which were used by ancient people. Experience you will never for get!! Happy hunting
Awesome digging tutorial man! Killer finds! Always enjoy your vids! Good luck!
+Rocky Top Relics Thanks RockyTop......Hopefully we'll get on what I'm looking for down stream...we're kinda on a bluff.,or elevation change if you will.....I'm wanting to prospect downstream where the creek lays out more level and artifacts can pile up....:)....Best of luck to you
Sir I love your videos you are obviously hunting an area that was highly populated by alot of Native Americans for many years to find so many museum quality arrowheads great finds.
That's a pretty slick idea, how far from the creek edge is to far, we have a spot that I find points on that's about thirty feet from the creek but I never find anything in the creek, I also get discouraged looking at all that gravel
+Smoke eater well.,from my experience.,You can't pay any attention to what is being found near the creek..I know plenty of places that you can find rocks by the creek.,but nothing in creek....lots of sites are hidden and cannot be seen by looking across the land for a high spot. I find hotspots in creeks by walking and looking for signs ..in many different creeks and tributaries ...of cours.,it's a lot easier where I live.,these creeks are sandy clay and shell instead of gravel. I've hunted gravel creeks before and I don't like it lol..if that's all that was available I would figure it out though...My advice to you is do a lot of prospecting and try to keep it to the smaller streams..It will pay off
nice finds man!! can't wait to see what you find next lol! good luck and stay safe!!!
+BlalocksRockPage Thanks man...The anticipation I guess is what drives me forward lol....I've been known to carry things to extremes to find rocks lol...I love it man and will continue until I am horizontal....:).....The best of luck to you
nice points ! may try some tunneling myself!
That looks like hard work! I like the two triangle ones the most!
+Kendra O ...it is.,you just have to pace yourself and believe that they're there and have a good time doing it....:). Thanks Kendra and maybe we'll get on a load of good ones in this creek somewhere...:)
Well it seems they are definitely there, so I'm sure you will find them! Good luck! :)
Very cool!👍
Yeah man finding artifacts instead of fish is a worthwhile way to spend a day out for sure . those "rock fish" are more fun anyway . Guess it depends on which thing I'm doing at the time :>) . Real nice finds ; the PineTree is killer and the triangles are super sweet . Thanks for the share . Good luck to y'all ---Butch
+qcypointhunter Aaahaha thanks Butch....Yeah boy.,I love fishing these rocks out.,it's quiet addictive lol.....Thanks for your comments and Goodluck to ya
So jealous!!!😊
Nice Points Thanks for sharing your hunts
+Bob Hendricks Thanks Bob....My pleasure...Goodluck
Ive wondered that if in a 1 mile stretch of creek that ancient people fished, using points, and every 3 years only one point was lost during the hunt, after 6,000 years there would 2,000 points in that stream bed.
It may be less than that of course, but thats a poop load of points laying scattered around the U.S. I'd say. Happy hunting!
Definitely.!
Dang! Good info Matthew Gauthier.
Good stuff right there! That digging into the rock bar has got to be tough work but well worth it. Great finds guys!!
+Ga. Rob & Terrie Thanks Rob....it's not that bad...I need to point out that those bigger pieces are actually claylike limestone and sand...it's not that bad...especially when ur finding....:)....thanks and goodluck ya'll
Awesome!!!
Some of us here do not wait to jump into a new footage video... we begin to know the geography and methods of one another! We are more than one hunter going forward and should all be happy for the finds well earned! Was he first diplayed a snap base on purpose you think? The arrowhead at 1:50 is indeed just a classic point! Very nice and I might well keep to diplay aside from the slight nicks and ticks! What do you have to share about the difference in time between the Pine Tree and the small triangular (bow) arrowhead? 4000 years? "Quite a while"... Bud, are you digging literally 4-7 hours as Richards does?? Thanks for the great show of it all!
+Indian Trace Thanks for the comment Trace....I do not think the snapped base rock was intentional...I think it was broken during use based on the tip damage and location of the break..takes a lotta pressure to break just the base end off....I think 4,000 years would be a minimum difference in time from Pinetree to triangles......This dig was somewhere around 3 hours....Your welcome Trace...,it's my pleasure and the best of luck to ya my friend
I would have definately said the same for the time spread... a minimum of 4,000 years! We cover history for sure! The stone age was magnificent!
Nice finds.
+Frank Northcutt appreciate it Frank
I just started this method of hunting also sifting can you give me any tips on picking a good sand gravel bar I'm in Va and I'm finding some but want to find more ! Thanks
That can be difficult because I don't know your area.... with that said., I always try to dig within hotspots. The video "secrets of the creek" was made in a small feeder I had started hunting and everytime I walked over this one particular stump catch.,I found a broken point...It was then I told myself that there was stuff caught in there from who knows how many years of things washing into it. It was a classic setup for catching points... hardpan up creek with flint .,slight elevation change to a sandy stump catch that caught all the points. Look for likely hang ups.,low spots.,front quadrants of gravel bars within your hotspots. Remember.,points don't go far in more Sandy creeks and tend to congregate in a small area. If your finding flakes and no points.,it's probably because the heavier points are upstream somewhere..these are things I look for when looking for a dig spot
Crazy how old that stuff is , should be worth thousands I know a good Clovis is but the others should be worth more than they are
Sweet vid and finds but it sucks to say you missed one. Look back in the vid at 3:41 and you can see one right behind the last one you picked up buried in the dirt
Not sure if those points are CC,,but that creek give up some candy for ya.:>) Cool tri's and others too.GL
+FlintSpall I'm not sure either...creek was pretty good to us....We're going to go down creek from here in the coming days and see if we can get on a better concentration...Thanks and Goodluck
Thanks brother , hopefully one day I'll be able to post something
+Smoke eater My pleasure man...Prospect a lot and the best of luck to you
Very nice saves!!!
Never thought of that technique, do you sift when you do that? What about the rest of the bar? How do you pick a spot to start the tunnel?
I like the front and side quadrant that is facing the water.
Guy showed me a spot they'd dug up it was a ditch coming off hillside of village site ,they robbed that spot but me and my son went thru gravel bar 50 yds down stream it was loaded !
I'm sure it was...I love those spots....thanks for commenting
how often do you break them when you are digging those out of the rock bar? I've wanted to try but never have.
+steveo50187 I've never broke one digging personally....My bud broke a 4 inch drill...only one I've ever seen broke creek digging..! I try to scoop the material rather than stabbing and prying...
Are you sifting what falls into the hole, or just throwing it up on the pile?
goddang i get excited when i come home with a few big flakes and hes finally finding his 4th point of the day
Lol...thanks for commenting
@@Theditchwalker haha yep no hate all jealously
Show us your technique. Do you find most points deep are you scooping from deep in the water then setting it up on the edge so you can wash with the water or are you just scooping from the edge making it longer?
How does one bar Trench? Like what is the exact technique just digging into a normal rockbank letting the water into help wash things away? I hunt the Mississippi as well and some of the tributaries
I have sifting device as well that could help but I was wondering if you could give me details on this technique? I work and hunt areas that this could help. I hunt near ST Louis
wondering what type of flint the pine tree is.
Jasper
ok thanks. I thought it was a flint I didn't recognize. really like your videos and information you give.
dang, man. where y'all at?! I'd like to dig with yall
North Mississippi
Excellent videos! How do you know when you say they are ancient?
+Jack Rainfield the Patina will be the same in the break as it is on the surface
I'm sorry for my ignorance but where is the "break" exactly? I'm planning to start walking the streams where I live... and this is busy Indian territory here.
Jack Rainfield any luck?
How do you know where to dig, I look in creeks but never have much luck before my eyes start to cross and frustration sets in
+Smoke eater When you hunt the same creeks for so long you recognize what area the surface finds are coming from.....I look for likely catch spots and dig in these areas
why didnt you show us how to make the tranch!?!
Ever find clovis
Never have found one...they are here.,but scarce
You been doing this a long time . Why do you use methods that chip these artifacts ?
Are the ones on eBay the same thing or are the ones you find more valuable?
The one on ebay are modern reproductions
what state do yall live in
Doesn't even bother with the fossils that are EVERYWHERE! I have to get back up that way soon. Rankin County is full of disappointment.
I lived in Central Ms for 5 or 6 years....some tough hunting
What area are y’all in?
We hunt Lee.,Prentiss and Itawamba counties in Mississippi
I
Theditchwalker can you message me back on Instagram? I have some cool artifacts and I had some questions
Jacob_d100
I thought you were going to show how to do it.
That's one way to do it... Nice points. Maybe time for ibuprofen
+tuledude89 Thanks man.....it'snot as bad as it seems..,especially when u know there's points there....:)...Goodluck out there
Does a complete point mean someone lost their arrow. With all the time and energy to produce it must have been a real bummer. Joe some of the points you call arrowheads are pretty darn big. They must have been shot from a heck of a bow OR were they launched from an atlatl.
+John H A lot of them were knives...you have to understand that campsites were inhabited in a lotta cases for thousands of years...what would you lose in your lifetime....just think what they lost over thousands of years
John 3:16 for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting. John 3:16 for god did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world threw him. If you don’t have Jesus you will die and go to hell you need to get saved if your lost and Jesus loves you
I call bullshit. I think you planted existing artifacts there and then created the video!
Have you seen any of my vids besides this one..? Well.,that's what you get for thinking .! I can assure you it's all real..cheers my feiend
