Its been nearly a year since I found it and it's still hard to believe sometimes.The search for one was over thirty yrs but in time,wa-la.:>) Thanks, glad to share the moment.

It was promising on my first search, howbeit small, I don't mind small.Those artifacts that are there needs a safe place.That's where I come into play :>)

If it weren't for fields in my area I wouldn't have but one tool, one complete point, and one drill for a collection which I've found in various waterway searches, so I'd definitely missed plowed fields too.Thanks

Looking forward to it given I can get the rain to cooperate.That tyrone stuff is attractive for sure.Thanks

Thanks.Looking forward to going again if the rains come before the cover crop takes over.Should find some more although probably not a slide load beings it appears to have been a small camp, but I'm happy with 1.:>) Congrats on your find also.

Thanks RT, Anxious to have another look when its good and wet.Today was bright and dry but I still got er done.:>)

Oh yeah,I was thrilled once I started finding flakes.From past experience, I knew I was getting warmer.:>) Hope the rain comes and I can hit er just right again.:>) Thanks

May have to name it the driving range,I collected 18 of em, and I walked past the first dozen before I started cleaning em up.:>) Not to mention how many has been tilled under.Maybe there's some more artifacts to be unearthed also.Thanks fir the comment.

@@FlintSpall Good target practice... Swing club, grab pew pew !!!🤣👊

I need a bucket for the golf balls tho.I grabbed up 18.:>) Gratifying trip for sure.I plan on tromping it again once it gets washed better.I'd be surprised if nothing else shows up.

I'm planning on giving it another chance to offer up some more, although it was a good scouting trip I know a pounding rain would surely do it good.Hopefully it comes before growth of the cover crop.Seems like its unusual to get many heavy fall rains unlike spring when temps cause more tuberlence.

Thank you.It pays to spend enough time in a new area, else you could pass on a decent campsite however small.I can't imagine hunting the plains without wood lines and creeks as perimeters.I'd be lost I suppose without a treetop to help keep oriented,LOL. Blessings to you as well!!

Thanks.I'll give it my all to salvage all I can.

Agreed.Perhaps the camp is a little larger once the sod portion of the field gets worked like the rest.It appears like the farmers ripped a plot in the middle which is often done to avoid any flood zone, but once they saw the reaction for a season it seems they busted the sod around the edges a good amount closer to the waterway, which could enlarge the site, if their plan is to tend a bigger crop new year.Hopefully that's the case.

@@FlintSpall I hope so also. Like another Christmas 👍🇺🇸

I do bring the broken ones home, but the flakes I just leave, unless they show that they used them.Thanks to ya!

Yeah a bit unseasonal to be searching sprawling tobacco and corn.I'm not a fan of either but I suppose the more smothering is the corn that you can't see over the top of.Some may call it desperate, but if time affords a chance to look and the health is ok, I can't think of many things I'd enjoy and better.

Glad to have access to the property.Not all parts are tilled this season.A good part of it was no till soybeans.Hopefully they'll till it up next year and expose some more decent artifacts.It's a fun place to search due to the high expectation of collecting something for sure.Good luck when you get to go.Hope there's a killer waiting.Thanks

I'd say thats a good assumption.No trees = No blunts could say something about their use for sure.Just like with the screwdriver they likely found several uses for the blunt.:>) I do enjoy finding the blunts.They make a nice looking display case full of them.

I felt like I did good as you said with limited visibility.The oval knife is a quality piece.Thanks

@@FlintSpall 👍🏻

Unbelievable just how many blunts I've found there.Not sure what they were doing for sure.There's been much spectulation as to their use s, from scraping tools to fire starters to what perhaps I lean towards and that's bunny busters.I learned that from watching History Channels Alone,where a contestant named Amos used a blunt tipped arrow to ward off a fox, which were forbidden to kill.In the insert the editors mentioned the natives that once inhabited the island used them to take small game by blunt force trauma.Made sense to me,,it broadened their options also.If it stunned the animal perhaps they could create reproduction.They would avoid the destruction of the meat and skins, which were of great importance to them.Still not 100% but makes for a good reasonable possibility.If those Natives did that I'm sure first peoples in America were no different.

@@FlintSpall maybe ! I used to shoot archery and I remember bird arrows had a flat tip and big spiral feathers, I still have my 3 bows , tryed my 70 lbs bow last fall and could not pull it back ! Sucks getting old 😔

@@davelink1318 I get it, but we know if we live long enough we'll become old.:>) I've been somewhat forced to become more stategic as I ripen.Have to think a bit more on how to do some things.

Thanks.I agree, things aren't optimal but I did well for the limited amount of earth I could see.Mainly due to the excessive rainfall amounts, plus occupation is a must to at least give you some odds that are favorable.Likely couldn't see the ground in most places in another week.

You'd be in heaven on this property.Oozing with them most of the time.

@@FlintSpall 😆👍I sure would !!

Yeah that oval knife was my favorite as well.Haven't really thought of tobacco as a pretty plant, but I see what your saying.If you never see it it's a thang of beauty.It grows fast and its smothering to walk in chest high trying to see dirt.:>) This was technically to tall to see much but I did well.Thanks

It sure is.Lots of action makes for a good time.Thanks

I see what you’re talking about, but that’s definitely not another one

Thanks for keeping an eye out, but while it does kinda bare the shape I honestly thing its just an unworked piece of sandstone.I definitely am apt to miss stuff tho, Thanks

Thanks for the tips! How do you cook it? Do you saute with salt, butter, garlic or fry in batter?

@@FlintSpall Any of those methods will do, it's all personal preference. You will be surprised how similar the texture and a little of the taste it is to chicken. My wife sauteed it in a little butter with salt, pepper, and garlic, added it to fettuccini alfredo, and my kids actually thought they were eating chicken! A couple of them don't even like mushrooms and they cleaned their plates!

Thank you kindly! Sure enough has been a thriller of a site and if I could today after all that's been collected, I'd be knee deep in the mud there still looking and with the same expectations of finding as I've had for three decades ..:>)

Do you know if the things if cut comes back as do morels? Thanks. I still doubt I eat em but would like to know just in case hard times hit, ya know? LOL

@@FlintSpall The grow on decaying wood and will come back yearly if the wood doesn’t decay completely. I have had them grow on old cut off stumps and come back for 3 to 4 years. The will grow on old decaying trees and big downed limbs also. They are said to be delicious, but I’ve never tried eating them👍🏻

I've tried very hard not to take a site like that for granite because I do realize they're few and far between.Many enjoyable hours and steps searching that site without ever getting skunked.

Yeah, you've likely seen most of those osg finds because you've followed from the start I assume.I started making videos in 2011 and then osg gets opened up for the first time in 25yrs.and the rest is history.LOL Glad to be in on it.GLTY!!!

Understandable to not know about mushrooms in the desert but growing up where I live I'm without excuse.:>) Nevertheless I'm glad the youtube community offers most of the time some information.Oh yeah, you know I was on a artifact high that day, yet I've found much less and still was excited.Blessed to have had access to a couple of exceptional campsites in my lifetime and rescued some wonderful relics.Love seeing those desert killers too.Most of them I never find.Thanks for your videos.Best of Luck to ya!!

I thought if I showed more than shrooms I'd find something that folks liked better.:>) Thanks

@@FlintSpall Well I like morels and chanterelles but those are also about the only ones I can positively identify. And it’s way too risky to try one you’re not 1000% sure of.👍🇺🇸

@@smokeeater8387 agreed with the notion of being sure, especially as long as I can afford bologna and weiners.:>)

@@FlintSpall 😂

perfect,Thanks much for the info.I haven't found anyone local yet that has even heard of them nor wishes to try eating them, but at least I know more now than before.Thanks again.I may not comment but I love watching you pick up on those waterway banks with some awesome things.

Thank You!!

I've heard they were scarce in other places much like the abundance of blunts I find.Until youtube I never dreamed they weren't found world wide, but even in the states that's true as well from place to place.Thanks

Don't get me wrong, a case a year is admirable hunting.I've hunted different sites through the years and a case would likely clear many of those sites out if found.This and one more are/were exceptional sites and I've enjoyed searching them though the years.Thanks

That center piece I assume is the one your asking of @ 9:03.It's actually untyped because it's a blade which has yet to be given any identifying characteristics such as notches, stemmed, etc.It possibly in future use be given notches or otherwise but also could have always been used as a hafted knife just wedged in a handle.Preforms to all point types start out similar to that one, but because this one has secondary edge work I consider it a knife in use compared to a preform not yet finished.Hope that makes sense.:>) Thanks and yes, exciting hunt.

@@FlintSpall Thanks for the answer!

Not soaking in salt water? Thanks

I ran the battery down on my camera before mid day turning it on so many times, so many were found without footage.Nevertheless while I can't remember the exact number of finds that day, these were the tops.I made a video of that day in a 2pt.er around that date.It's a confirmed chicken fungi and told to be delicious.You tell me if thats true then I might try it.LOL

I understand.I wished for 30+ yrs. Nothing wrong with persistance.Hopefully it'll eventually pay dividends for ya.

I come across some really colorful materials from time to time.While it appears flint ridge like, I expect its likely randomized chert from local creeks.Most of the colorful chert locally is grainy but occasionally a few high silica content which makes for a nice shiney finish is found.I've smacked a good bit of it in our creeks and most is unknappable to the degree one would usually seek for when just knapping for hobby.Thanks

Hmmm, The southern states has a hardaway which has concave base with ears rather than a stem.

I'd never hesitate a dry hunt at OSG.I wouldn't do that in most places tho.

@@FlintSpall Yeah, wasted time usually for me ✌

Thank You.Glad you enjoyed.

Your welcome appreciate the input.Thanks

Even an unlucky squirrel finds a nut now and again, but chances are much increased if it went to the tree.:>) Thanks for the comment.

I agree, even if I did find it.:>) Thanks

yes it is.Although not hunted this site for that long, I have hunted it heavily since 2014.It was a shocker but a very welcomed find.Glad you got around to seeing the video.

Yeah finding them like that's always a cool surprise.Heck,I like finding em any ways.:>) Thanks

Thanks my Prairie friend.Several has expressed that's what they'd call it too.
