    Nice finds!! I'm almost 50 years old and have been involved with artifacts most of my life. Way, way back in the day my entire family was involved with many hunts and excavations. My stepdad has found numerous pieces that are in several archaeology magazines and has several pieces that are in museums of various Arkansas colleges. He was responsible for finding numerous ceremonial head pots(plain & red/white painted), ceremonial pendants, body shaped pottery jugs and much more! I have many fond memories of growing up and helping preserve history. Unfortunately, the areas we were primarily active have been destroyed for land leveling for crop production.....with no regard for history. Can you please give me a general description of what part of the state you were finding these? I'm not asking for your secret honey hole! Lol. I live in the very N east corner, but If i had to guess I'd say you're either the N west 1/3 of the state or the N central 1/3 of the state?? Good channel. Keep up the good work!

      I hate when people don’t just use their head. When you artifact hunt a creek after a rain most of the stuff you will find just got washed into the creek out of the bank, that’s why it doesn’t have a creek stain. People say the same about bottles, you might find a few that were in the bottom of the creek for a year or two but money have recently been washed out of their resting place in the dirt.

      @@BigfootBottler-rc8te Thats exactly right! That’s why we look after floods so it washes stuff out. Sometimes I get lucky and find creek stained stuff right after a flood, there’s no doubt that some pieces get stained under the rocks then turned over and revealed in the flood, but I find most of my creek stained stuff once the water has gone down a lot. Especially when we’re almost in drought stage and I can finally search the deeper holes that weren’t accessible before.
