Michigan was tough to find points in when I lived there . Now that I have been in Sc for 9 years hunting everyday, I think I'm more prepared to go home and try again. Kool Finds!
They definitely make you work to find them. Extra special to me though when I do come across one. Especially super close to home. I bet SC is an awesome area! Do you find a lot of quartz like NC?
I know you hunt Indiana, I recently heard collectors on face book saying point hunting in Michigan was not that great,but i worked at a warehouse in nc where truck driver from Michigan would say the thumb section of Michigan has points, any way nice to finally get a video congrats on your finds.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Michigan is definitely a lot tougher to find points versus our neighboring states for me personally on the West side of the state. Although I do love finding quantity in Indiana or Ohio, I certainly treasure these local finds. Few as they may be…👍
I'm in Michigan and have never found a point. This video gives me hope! Couple hand ax/choppers, and tons of scrapers like that big one, or smaller. They almost always have a human face worked into one edge, and a sharp notch like a seat belt cutter. I've assumed that these were for skinning and scraping hides. Also have found flint carved into lions and elephants! 😳🤷
I am trying to learn more about Michigan specific points and spear heads now. Educate myself more (I am a teacher). Over the last 3 yrs I have found 6 in total, all in a about a 50 foot sections by my dock in houghton lake. In the sand in the water, maybe 6 to 10 inches deep at most. I have a small cabin there and I often sift the stone off our seawall. I decided to sift the stone to make a two car parking space behind our cabin rather than buying the stone. During this I espected to find cool rocks and maybe a petoskey stone here and there. I have found many cool things but the 6 points are at the top of the list. Smallest an inch and half to a couple that are 4 and half inches. My family and friends just say that is what happens to me because what I think often happens for me. I did hope to find a point or two but never expected to find what I found. I took the 1st white 4 inch point and put it on a spiral spear I made. It is a conversation piece for sure when people come up to our little cabin on houghton lake. The others are in a display case that I never thought I would need to purchase, but I am happy I have had to do so!!!
That’s really awesome to find any Michigan points! Let alone by sifting along an inland lake shore. I see people sift along the Ohio River and do well, but those shorelines are covered in native sites that are constantly eroding. It’s very interesting along Houghton Lake. Being a drainage of the Muskegon River there’s probably a lot of history there. I’m curious where the points you found might have originated from. Where is the original site. If you’d like to email some pictures of the points, I can try and type them for you. If not, no worries. Congratulations either way! They are finds of a lifetime and pieces to cherish.
Not a bad hunt at all. Congrats on the points and tool. I'm rock hounding on Lake Michigan and found a stone knife tumbling around. Im not sure what the laws are here, so i just documented it and tossed it back. I've never been to the great Lakes and man its so peaceful out here.
Nice! If you’re on private property, you’re good, but not if you’re on National Lakeshore unfortunately. Michigan sure is a beautiful place though! Nothing like it. Appreciate you watching and commenting…👍
I am glad that you're still in the fields! Could the round, broken rock be a concretion? It looks like one to me! You found 2 nice, small points! I do not believe that the grooved rock is natural, but I don't know what it could be.
Thank you Howard! The local points definitely don’t come easy. Takes a handful of outings to put together some local content. I’m thankful for each and every one though. Appreciate the comment.
