  • The more we dig, the more we learn about the ancient civilizations that lived here before us. Join us as we continue sifting for lost and forgotten artifacts from a time blurred by history. In this episode, you'll see that we get into an archaic layer, which lends credence to my belief that North American history goes further back then we believe.

    People tend to overlook all the small stone tools around where they find arrowheads.I often see them in videos and people just leave them behind but the all the stones tools are important too

    I'm thinking the mystery rock is a broken celt that they tried to rework after it broke or maybe one on it's way to becoming a celt. Nice find!
    The broken gorget in the road is incredible! What a amazing site!

    Nice Finds Fellas, that net sinker is super cool, I found one with a hole drilled through it a few years ago, probably about 40 miles up river from y’all a few summers ago, reached out of my kayak and grabbed it, I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as when I found that artifact, Thanks For Sharing 🏹

      Id love for you to check out a few pieces I've found, I'm a beginner but I found a birdstone and took it to chief Vanns house for the state to look at, I've got a few pieces with holes drilled and I'm not sure what the material are
      I've got a 200 acre lease that connect to Natl Forrest and it's on the TN/GA line

      I’m way up river from y’all on the other side of lake Allatoona but I always enjoy getting down y’all’s way because the variety of material y’all got is much more plentiful, I found a little flint hatchet once walking logging trails in Paulding county, way up on a hillside next to a handful of brokes, probably a hunting camp, God Bless & GL&HH!!!👊🏹

  • @The_Eddie_Show
    @The_Eddie_Show ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that polished stone is a celt, they used them kinda like shovels. That or maybe a hand axe?

  • @Bradmoore1979

    Those stacks are most likely from resharpening while in the haft. They were probably alot larger to begin with.

  • @williamhart8087
    @williamhart8087 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's a celt that might have been damaged and possibly reworked.

    Another best day ever..like every day..so many of the same type..cool..how deep do yall dig?..here in ky sites are multicultural and can be six feet deep..and span early archaic to woodland..we just decided to dig until we hit water or gravel one trip..best thing we ever did..hit a layer of kirks...and then yellow glacial gravel..points found all the way to the gravelbed which was undisturbed. Ive got a few on my channel..some killer serrated kirks...that we almost missed..

    I've dug chert from the Earth, and they really don't "rinse off" just saying. Maybe Oregon dirt is different.

    • @TheHollyann07
      @TheHollyann07 ปีที่แล้ว

      Any rock/mineral high in Silica content (which Chert is), won't hold dirt as well as another mineral. Meaning they will usually be leas dirty, or the dirt will come off easier. That's how I find a lot of my chert, agate and chalcedony, they are much cleaner than the surrounding rocks 🤷‍♀️ It's a good trick, and I'm in Utah that has a lot of red dirt, clay, and "regular" dirt.

  • @jonsdigs1

    Could that polished stone be on it way to be a part of a club? Not so much a tomahawk but a club?

  • @CalvinsCorner72
    @CalvinsCorner72 ปีที่แล้ว

    Guys at 1:50 them tips I have been told are ancient because they made them that way. No all points was perfect. They did that to help them fly when one side was a little more heavy than the other. Kind of like balancing them. I’m no expert but at least take my concerns into account. Thanks Man

  • @grace_wins.
    @grace_wins. ปีที่แล้ว

    The polished rock could be for a tomahawk or hammer

  • @CalvinsCorner72
    @CalvinsCorner72 ปีที่แล้ว

    14:23 that’s called a stack. When napping they get them and sometimes they can’t knock them off and decide to just let them stay.
    What about this? Let’s say they decide they are bad and they throw them down. How would we know? There may be something that we find thinking they made them this way and it is something that they would just the way. I have always thought that what happens if I find these thanking they would want to make them this way and they were an accident and threw them away and I think they are something good when they were something I didn’t even walk in the first place.

    Not sure exactly where you dig...but I'm guessing Georgia. Question, have you found any trade beads or goods traded to the Indians by the Spanish? I know De Soto and 600 Spaniards came up through central Georgia.

    Please Professor Byrd come to Dalton and check this stuff out.
    I took the birdstone piece to Chief Vanns house and the lady said she was certain that's what it was. I've got a few pieces with holes drilled.
    One looks just like the face of a owl.
    Multiple tree markings around. One has a heart carved in it. I do stump grinding and tree work and the tree is almost 200 years old so it's not that old as far as natives go.
    Days of content I know it, I just want to learn more and let my 7 year old son tag along. Whatever it takes. I've got 3 springs and 2 have never been dug on
