That Celt is nice, that's that blue stone they liked to use oftenb
NICE BURIN (SHAFT SCRAPER) AT 6:08 !! 🏅🙏
Nice finds brother, hope you find some whole big sandys
Like the STORY TELLIN.❤❤ NICE FINDINGS.😊
HALF MOON SHAPE I learned was a SHAFT SCRAPER....😊
HALF MOON SHAPE I learned was a SHAFT SCRAPER....😊
That one you think broke is a hafted shaft scraper those are rare too find!
@@tracyhoward6262 thank you I was thinking it could be a shaft scraper but I wanted to see what the consensus thought.
Wow! If that is the bad time of year to hunt , the good time of year must be loaded!! That celt is killer!! I want to find a celt so bad! They are hard to find here in Sc. That shaft scraper is awesome too!
@@AncientAdventures I say that it’s a bad time mainly because the water is so low everything is bunched up in the rock bars hence why mostly everything is field grade in this spot. The normal level of the river is 3 to 6 feet higher and that line holds more artifacts . I’ve been lucky to find a couple celts between last year and this year but everyone I have found I found by flipping stones. Pure luck in an artifact rich area honestly.
@RiverRatArtifacts I too have made some great finds , by moving stuff. Lol . Pretty kool! Our river just got up to 17.2 FEET! It was neck deep in our river house. Worse flooding since 1942. Won't be diving for awhile here.
Very nice saves as usual.. bro that piece you say is broken, that’s an old shaft scraper!! Like really old!!! They are very rare to find let alone not broken!!! A guy I know that finds them found 3 this summer again super rare, he’s finding them with archaic points up to 9,000 years old….
Nice assortment. I can't believe you're finding anything right now with the conditions out there. That nice white point is shaped like a Terminal Archaic Barbed piece, but the flaking and serrations make me think it may be a Kirk stemmed. I'd have to see it in person, there are couple other things it could be, but it looks more like a Kirk than anything else in the video. I agree that whatever it is it was probably used a stemmed dart point.
The only reason I’m finding anything is this place has a large rock bar at the lower level on this site that collects stuff. Some of my other sites need the water to come up.
Sweet finds! Awesome shaft scraper you found
Killer celt 💥!!!! Actually a bunch of killer finds !!!! You have a special spot,there .... 😎✌️🍀⛏️
@@historylooker7 thanks brother! this spots been good to me!
@@RiverRatArtifacts 👍
You constantly are finding nice points my guy! What state are you in again?
@@pointsnpoles4640 Kentucky
@@RiverRatArtifacts Gonna have to make my way over them ways!
@@pointsnpoles4640 it surprises me just how much stuff is out there.
@@RiverRatArtifacts seems like every ditch, creek, river, field, Ridge, bluff around me is loaded
Holy sheeet man!🙏👏🫵🏼❤️🔥
Dang dude !! Killer 🔥 finds !!!!!
Thanks man!
Sweet finds and killer drill
@@blueboy450 have you been able to get out lately?
@@RiverRatArtifacts no I had back surgery last November and it didn’t really help. It’s killing me because I can’t go. Thanks for asking
Neat stuff! I'm sure you picked up that plastic drink lid @2:05 off camera.
Imagine getting hit by this crap, with god knows what on it , oh my lord I'd rather be shot with a clean bullet.
Nice hunt. Killer drill man. Congrats on finds
@@EastKYancients thank you!
Outstanding drill, I always look forward to your videos. You do pretty darn good surface hunting. Best of luck on your upcoming hunts.
Thank you!
That first one is a knife blade, it's curved like one for sure. I like those.
Nice drill and other stuff too! First one is not a Tablerock, looks more like a Karnak or McWhinney or other similar Late Archaic stemmed piece. The darker one looks more like a Tablerock just by its shape, but I think it is probably also something else, probably a Late Archaic or Early Woodland piece of some type. The Tablerocks are usually thinner with a more crisply defined base and basal grinding. Still dang nice big points even if they aren't Tablerocks.
Thank you for commenting I truly appreciate your input and general knowledge of stuff found in our area.
@@RiverRatArtifacts Thanks Michael, I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to be a know-it-all or anything, I'm just trying to help you out, and I'm pretty sure you recognize that. I wish I could figure out your chert types over there a little better, some of that stuff really stumps me. I'm glad you are finding some nice things. My son Jacob will be in town next week, so I'll be out hunting whether conditions are good or not. I hope to get over there and run into you and Nick sometime. Good luck on the river!
I genuinely want to learn and like I said I truly value your opinion/ input I get stuck on the common types and you definitely know more about the local stuff. Hopefully conditions are going to be better. we definitely have got a lot of rain and have more coming so it will be hit or miss for a little while.
Looks great brother!!!
Amazing finds! Love your videos!
@@5.56Media Thank you for watching!
Nice knife on the first find!! And the second one..ok and the third one lol. Regardless, all nice artifacts for sure!!
Nice finds, that Big Sandy T-drill is fine👍🏻
That is a killer drill.I was just thinking its been a good while since I've found a t drill.I love em all but the t's are my favorite for drill types.
I’ve only found a few. But I’ve found a few broken ones in this small stretch of river I knew I was due to get lucky.
Thanks for sharing
What part of Ohio ?
@@markmanley8673 Ohio river but mostly Kentucky/Indiana
@@RiverRatArtifacts I live in New Martinsville on the Ohio . I hunt as well .lots of other people around here to . Local Adena mounds around area .
Kewl big scraper
What did they use them for..?
Killer finds
AWSOME !😂
Darn Brother you found a pile of points and tools. I wish i was located near the Ohio river. I have to travel 1 1/2 hours to the nearest river in my state that has artifacts similar to the Great Ohio.
@@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey I’m very thankful that it’s in my back yard
Good stuff! Good luck take care
@@JoseyWales-ed thank you
Did you pick up the lure??
@@guyhummel2847 I did I’ve found at least ten or more in the last month or so
You picked up a few nice artifacts from the river banks👍🏻
I about died when I saw that Honey Locust thorn...I thought you had a museum-grade drill. Glad you are finding some stuff, I have pretty well stopped trying the past month or so between being busy with other things and the poor hunting conditions.
@@leatherwoodcrafts it’s definitely been rough out . There has been a few good days to hunt all month and I’ve had to work half of them. But I took some time to catch up around the house.
What does that mean when you say, "It's been reworked?"
What are "Drills"... and do they know what they were used for?
Man, oh man! I'm only 3mins in and that multi-colored arrow head is one of the Coolest things I've ever seen!! Wow, awesome stuff and awesome channel. Thanks, man!!!
I'm learning soooo much from you! Thank you for taking the time to construct and upload these videos! Really awesome, inspiring stuff man!! I really love it!!!
Two questions: I'm an EXTREMELY NEW amateur hunter, in Kentucky, on the Ohio river...[1.] Is this cache all in ONE day? [2.] Is it legal for me to just walk up & down the riverbank hunting?
@@Matthew...1979 this particular video I found the cache in one day. Legally you can walk along the water to the high water mark along the river. But I like to obtain permission from the landowner.
@@RiverRatArtifacts wow, thanks for answering so quickly!!! And understood, I definitely don't want to be looking over my shoulder while hunting. And I want to be hunting Honestly as well. [I'm really glad I stumbled across your channel]!!!
Some really nice finds. Thanks for sharing
MAN that T drill would’ve been killa!
Eventually I’m going to find one of that caliber whole!
Great finds and awesome video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Is that 1st one a almost exhausted pentagonal?
Man I’ve looked at it seen some similar types but nothing that I can definitely say yeah that’s it. But pentagonal is on the list for sure.
Awesome finds buddy! That's a good haul for a few weeks time. I think you are right about the Big Sandy Broad Base, at least it looks like one in the video. Good luck!
It definitely helps living on the river. I can see the what the water is doing and if it will leave a layer of rock or get silted in. But every time I think I got it worked out it throws a curve ball.
Living on the river would make it easier to make more trips. I’m an hour from the Ohio River, so I can’t make trips as often as I would like to. I still do alright though.
Super cool finds as always!!! Really nice stuff.. That chisel is dope!!!!
I was not expecting it to be a chisel that’s for sure but I’m super stoked I love finding tools as much as I do points.
Love that reworked side notcher, was huge at one time, keep on em😎😎😎
I definitely thought it was broke when I didn’t feel any pressure behind it. They definitely got there use out of it.
