What We Found Buried On This Hill Shocked Us!- Arrowhead Hunting

- This mountain or big hill as they call it in central Mississippi (being flatlanders like ourselves, we call it a mountain) has been giving up its archaeological treasures for some time now. Once again Al invited us up to hunt it with him and we took him up on the invitation. As usual we weren’t disappointed. The arrowheads, tools, cache blades and performs were incredible. We had Ricky Baham of Iti Tashka Taxidermy was with us and he was able to add some cool tallahatta quartzite artifacts to his collection. There is a link to his Facebook page below. We also take a quick look at some of the incredible arrowheads Matthew and Chris have been finding just up the road a bit. Of further interest, a couple of years ago we did a “Between The Tines” podcast with host Dustin Wascom and Ricky. There is a link below if you would like to listen to that also. (You may have to copy and past the link.)We think you’ill enjoy it a lot. We certainly did. Now let’s go get on that mountain/hill and see what we can find.

Thanks and good luck to you too.

Great hunt, I really enjoyed it! Kye gets to buy the celebratory Reesy cups!
Thanks. I'll let him know about the Reesy cups lol.
Great video my friend, awesome finds guys👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Man spike can't believe how big those points are, I don't know anywhere else in Mississippi that are continuously that size. Well done y'all 👍🏹
The reason is they had huge material to work with up there. Thanks John and good luck my friend.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Love your channel ❤I have learned alot ty so much 😊
Thank you so much.
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and good luck on your next outdoor adventure 👍
Thanks and good luck to you too.
As big as stuff is, y’all may find some giant bones there.😂 very intriguing site.
You Just never know.
Great stuff guys, definetly looks like a cache of big blades. That quartzite is some weird looking stuff.
Thanks. I don't know how many cache's have come off this ridge but it's a lot. Some of the TQ, the high quality stuff, holds up great but the other is affected so negatively by this high acidic soil down here.
Ky, hope if spelling the name right, looks like he got into a cashe of preforms. Is that Tallahatta? Its hard to tell. I'm guessing that's a middle archaic site. Y'all correct me if im wrong. You guys sure have a blast diggin and looking for artifacts. Enjoy every minute of it. I think its one of the most exciting hobbies there is. Like you guys are doing is creating bonds and memories for life particularly for the young ones. It's something they'll remember and treasure for their whole life
You're exactly right. Our channel is actually about building friendships based on a common interest.
Good work. Good to watch.
Thanks.
Enjoyed the video thanks
Thanks.
Nice finds guys! I don’t know what kind of possums you guys have down there, but they don’t look like ours here in Ky. 😆
This was a crazy hunt, wow wow wow guys
Thank you sir. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
Always enjoy the videos. Well if y’all ever want to try west Louisiana shoot me a message have some fine places .
Thanks. We are well aware of the quality of artifacts that come out of west Louisiana and we may just take you up on that offer one day.
@@HeartbreakerRelics yes sir, got few places where we averaging 12 points per person every 3 hours and several are evans.
So thought i would take the time to explain and maybe in process give yal a slightly different view when diggin up those points' :) so the little notches from the roots' are beleive it or not' from the tree emitting acids back into the ground to disolve and digest minerals to be taken back up in the tree's so there actually getting eaten by ole mother nature herself' has taken that point probably that tree's entire existence to achieve that level of breakdown on a stone'. so better get to it before there gone' lol :)
Thanks for your input. It is greatly appreciated and it makes sense.
Absolutely i would imagine the process is probably accelerated to a degree if there not local area stones' the tree's may even break them down faster than normal if its a mineral the tree doesnt have many other sources to extract it from' :)
Lol first broke I've seen where you found the tip.
It's happened a few times for us.
@@HeartbreakerRelics Thats amazing, you should show that when it happens, or have you and I haven't watched that vid.
Who does that song Crazy Dreams? Spike is the man!
Thar is Conway Twitty.
They Cut And Chopped Meat With Those Also! Their Chicago Cutlery lol
lol Thanks!

What ancient Indian tribe made those? Here on our farm in east central Miss, there were the Tiou Indians. A burial site was close to my home, untill the hill side was hauled off for fill dirt elsewhere. Ive found 6 different areas that had points laying on the ground.
These artifacts were made so long ago all we know is a general culture, probably Archaic due to the amount of Archaic points found on this ridge. The only tribes we know anything about are the ones that were here during the historic period, much later.
This proves armadilloes are born alive!
Yes it does lol. Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment.
Looks like them were blanks for making them big points yall were finding. Anyways good finds. Thx.for sharing. Bless.👍
That is exactly what many of them are,cache blades or preforms. Thanks for watching and for the great and informative comment.
Guys I have a collection that’s been in my family for a lot of years and we add to it I’d like to take a picture and show you because I know I got Clovis point
You can send an email through our website.
Gopher Ridge (Hill) ? What inquiring minds really want to know is, who toted Spike crost thet lawg bridge ? Great dig today.
😂 good question! I made it across with the help of the rope and the guys. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
I've never been able to yield anything digging, even on a confirmed campsite. How do you guys come upon diggin locations??
This video should help. th-cam.com/video/81_Oy_L3ejc/w-d-xo.html
Is that mostly quartzite material looks grainy but may just be the dirty martial I’m seeing. Nice finds
Yes, it is all Tallahatta Quartzsite
How do you find the places to go dig? If you dont mind me asking. I want sum of those peanuts. Lol
This video should explain it. Once you find an area that has a possible site on it then you find landowners name and contact him/her and ask for permission. Hope this helps and good luck.
Are they Pickwick preforms?
We have considered that possibility. Also may be Benton preforms. We find both on this site.
Was that pot leg native pottery ??
Yes it is.
Why would they leave these points there and not take all of them when they left area?
If you think about it every point and tool that has ever been made is still out there somewhere in some form. Rock doesn't just go away. Most of what we find are used up knives or damaged points or preforms. Also these were utilitarian to them. They had no where near the level of respect that we have for them. They were like bullets or small change to us today. How many pennies, nickels, quarters or dimes do you think you have ever lost? They would lay them down and never come back to them or loose them in the ground clutter. Some were cached with plans to return to them later and they just never made it back for whatever reason.
I don't know what a free-form is but I'd suggest what you're holding is a version of a tomahawk or a hatchet
A "pre-form" or cache blade is an artifact that has been worked down to it's smallest transportable form without going into the finishing stages. It was much easier to do this than to carry huge boulders or rocks to where ever their permanent camp or village was.
Yep different steps in the knapping process cobble becomes a core which is material the flakes are removed from a turned to tools. These flakes or cobble can first be worked to a blank which are rough shaped early knapping stage just removing excess material and imperfection like cracks and stuff then that’s worked down to the preform which is closer to final finished stage shape and thickness might be more triangular form. From there it has the details like notches and possibly thinned more and final edges straightened and such.
11:50 what is that?
That is the leg off a clay pot.
Do y'all hear any booger's out there in those wood's
Just the ones in our noses lol.
You got jokes but that's ok
All we do is joke around out there. That's what makes it so much fun.

First comment!
Thanks!
I like your videos, but I do not like it when you blare the music 3 or 4 times as loud as the voices.
I hope you at least fill in your holes when you're metal detecting.
We do. Now give yourself a pat on the back.
