The stories behind these artifacts is what attracted me since I was a child. Holding an ancient artifact in your hand that a human being, with dreams, thoughts, and creativity made x years ago is just amazing. It also reminds me of my own mortality.
I took my five-year-old daughter to a little park that we go to religiously and stumbled across a creek bed. The bank sides were about 15 feet tall and the creek was maybe 5 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Always having the curiosity for arrowheads and artifacts or any thing over 100 years always intrigues my mind. I was sitting down running my hands through the rocks while my daughter played in the stream and I stumbled across what I was told is a scraper. I guess they used to clean hides from animals back in the day. My only find I have ever had but opened up something in my brain that has made me more intrigued and fascinated with artifacts the anything else in the world.
Love it, how fun. As a professional archaeologist I love to see the enthusiasm that I once had for artifacts. Document the size and depth of your test pit, the size screen you used, and what was found, a gps point, submit a photo, some measurements and a written description of the artifacts to state history, and your work will contribute to the archaeological record; Not just end up as a set of curios. Hopefully they will be nice about it. maybe ask, and if they are nice they will appreciate the free labor. I personally don't think you are doing any harm, but written permission to do the work and "house" the artifacts may be helpful. Your older point, the dark one is called a Lake Mohave Western Stem, (a nice one by the way: I've seen hundreds, mostly broken) and it dates 9,000 to 16,000 years old, it is definantly the oldest. In the West, they are found around extinct lakes and rivers that no longer flow! Most of the others are Mid Holocene 7,000 to 1,000 BP atlatl dart points. The tan and dark brown material could be Wyoming Tiger chert. It is a large, high quality flint that looks like that.
Frank , some states are AHoles about arrowheads, I live in Oregon and they are some of the worst with the thinking that ONLY Gov. has the right to move an artifact, if Scott digs and works to find them then they are his to display to us who view his videos. IF Gov. wants to go dig the Ohio river fine go do it but do NOT stop those who enjoy this hobby. Further, when Scott finds these artifacts they are seen by Many more people than they would washing down the river. Regards.
Hard to document, as they are not as left. They have already been dislodged and washed to the river. It’s an Adena around here, the black one. Much different location.
Both sets of my grandparents lived on the Rush River that flows into the Mississippi in Pierce County, WI. They were both up hill from the river. One of my grandpas picked up arrowheads every other year when he did his spring plowing. What you are doing is my idea of having " the bestest" time ever, even now at over age 70!
Absolutely love watching @Cleggs Adventures, always awesome arrowheads/artifacts finds and educational. I've seen you find many marbles too actually, amazed how many you have found. Appreciate you.
Just found your channel. Your right,everything has a story behind it. Some probably once in a lifetime scenarios, we just never know. Great job man, great job. Much respect. New subscriber.
Cool finds. I have found in creeks that the smaller bird points don't travel as far as the larger points do. So with that said if you are finding bird points you are right there at the camp site or village. Also the next 2 gravel bars downstream will be concentrated with larger pieces.👍👍💤
Great video with some awesome finds. The stone you thought maybe is a grinding stone well may be. But it could very well be for burnishing leather. The first white men who encountered natives were amazed at the quality of their leather. They told of how they would see native women using flat sided stones on a log to rub the hides over and over. The leather was the most supple and the highest quality any of them had seen before.👍♋
@@cleggsadventures Tribes in other countries still use the same technique to this day. In parts of South and Central America and people's of Asia as well the tribes of the Artic.👍♋
Shurd did a nice job today!!! I recently learned that as well from an archeologist.. Great saves today brother!!! I know YT is pushing the shorts but I don’t like them, our generation has a bigger attention span so I think we have an appetite for longer videos..
Thanks Scott! Yea, I don’t like the shorts as well either, but I know they have their audience. It’s ok for when I don’t have time. Like a community post. 90% of comments on shorts are rude or stupid. But I keep driving forward. 👍
Great video as always. My day is better already. If you ever get to Ft Worth Texas, the wife and I are buying lunch. We will keep looking for the next one. Thanks.
👍 Most full days of average walking the fields don't give up that many nice finds, that's a nice stretch of hunting ground you have there, way above average, I know you're proud of it. There was a small island in the Tenn. River where I grew up that had mounds on it, Hobbs Island at the southern end of Huntsville Al. The farmers had a heavy duty ferry boat they could get equipment over and would farm it, not any more. I would swim over and walk the field and do pretty good. While searching the bank you could find tons of pottery sherds. The prevailing bank was 8-10 feet high and I always anticipated the day a nice complete stone axe would be greeting me, never happened, found portions in the field is all. There were two mounds, a 15' or so on the east end and another about mid way directly across from Ditto Landing marina. I'll bet that was one cool community, Chickasaw were the last inhabitants. It's for sale now for $8 million. Enjoyed the video, thanks. PS: As a piece is sharpened down and it's shape changes, so does it's function I would guess, probably got passed around to who would need it most.
I wonder how many natives were actually in the United States since people first came to it ? I can't remember what they said when I was a kid, I think a couple hundred thousand lol, it's ridiculous.
Love this video sir. New subscriber. I'm new to this type of hunt. Mainly metal detecting. I'm friends with Aquachigger and he took me out on a local river looking for artifacts. I got lucky and found a nutting or fire maker stone. Just uploaded video if you want to see it. I already have me a screen like yours that my grandpa made. Going to try the Susquehanna river. Take care and happy hunting.
Clegg, I like your videos. Your sense of humor holds my attention. True arrow points do are very very small, even smaller than the ones you dug up on this video.
Excellent video! I like your practical way of looking at why points are the way they are, how they're shaped and so forth. One bit of info for you from a knapper (me-- I've been working on it for a couple of years ago and can produce decent points now (though I prefer working in obsidian to flint)), and that is that it's best to leave the thickest, strongest part of the stone for the point when you're shaping one. It's the part that'll take most of the impact, so you don't knap it all fine and sharp and go on to work on the rest (unless you're inexperienced, and we all have to learn this) because if you do then any flaws or surprise breaks you get when you're working on the thicker body of the piece are probably going to travel up to where you've thinned it down at the point. If you leave that bit sort of in preform-state (or nearly so) til you've thinned down the rest a little, if it *does* break then you may have enough left that you can rework the point. That's why sometimes you get fat, short, sturdy points-- they've either been reworked because the point broke in the making, or they took damage and the shooter decided they were too valuable to lose and reworked the tip.
Ive watched days and days of Time Team and only NOW, your explanation of sherds vs shards, do Inunderstand the difference when all this time I thought it was just Phil Hardings thick but charming Wiltshire accent! Ha! Thanks for info. Great finds, this sifting session, too!
Well, the first bow washed up on the California coast, it wouldn't have been from Italy ;) Anyway, I wish I could find a place around here so rich in artifacts. Thanks for sharing your finds!
It blows my mind when I think about you covering such a small area and uncovering so much stuff. And then I think, you're only working one side of the river!! How much could there possibly be from Pittsburgh to Evansville !?!
I'm getting ready to build a super sifter, my wife and I are looking forward to going out this summer , get some exercise, fresh air and maybe find an arrowhead or two. Thanks for the adventures. If we see you on the river can we come up and say Hey ?
In 1957 I had the opportunity of a lifetime to search for arrowhead at the site of the Dalles Dam a few days before the reservoir was filled with water. I was 13 at the time but though I searched for hours I never found a single arrowhead. The area was pretty well picked over. A man I met found a complete skull of a Chinook Flathead Indian though and hid it away immediately in his car before anyone could see it.
I’ve never found remains. Seems all are rotted away. But I search the homesites. I would never intentionally look for graves. Never know what you’ll run across if
Some great finds and we enjoyed watching! Great job on explaining the process of sifting. We’ve never had the opportunity to hunt a river before, but have always been curious. Thanks for sharing and take care! 👍🏻
Darn.... I was hoping for a little ride on the super scooper sifter! Lol Great vid, found some cool stuff, and enjoyed the favorable weather. I would imagine most the flint items you find are flint ridge, or possibly Coshocton. Been to both quarries a few times, nothing compares to flint ridge. And it awful purdy!! 👍 Happy huntin! Vid much enjoyed😃
Really cool that you find arrowheads. Really interesting stuff bows were brought here by the many different people that visited the us. There are places in the US that have ancient Hebrew writings on walls. There is a place in California that has a 50 mile rock wall that is believed to have been built pre Colombian. Vikings Celtics Irish Welsh English people of ancient Israel and many more beat Columbus to America. His voyage was the first time it was recorded in history.
I'm in Ohio and we find lots of Flint Ridge material, we also find quite a bit of black Kanawa. Nice finds, I can see by the wear on your shovel that you stay busy huntin!
Great day, Scott! That big knife blade is killer. Loved the color of the local chert too. Looking forward to the next one. Hoping you find some rarities. Glad to see you’re gaining some ground here on UA-cam. Your vids now have ads! 👍.
Had a hunting lease 20 miles outside of Natchez Mississippi. My kids would find tons of arrowheads along the stream that ran through the lease. Pretty cool!!
Much Appreciated Peter! Our name isn’t too common. In 2016, I visited England, where the Clegg name originated. Was very cool! Lots of things name after Cleggs. If you’re interested, I have the photos of the trip on my Facebook profile. They’re in all my pictures somewhere along with the trip to the “Last of The Summer Wine” town.
Even when native Americans were at war with each other, Flint ridge was considered neutral ground. they would let anybody in to get material. or that's what I read years ago and a very reputable book
If that’s true, I’d say that happened in more historic Native times, after Europeans showed up. Before that, how would anyone know? Not saying that’s false, but it’s a guess at best
Thinking you need to start digging in that bank above the tree line you talked about. Like a gold prospector, you're finding float gold. Time to follow it up to the mother load!!
I am enjoying your videos and have learned a lot. It has been years since I have looked for arrowheads. I wish i has seen a few of your videos back 30 odd years ago I think I would have found a lot more points. Back then I just walked the deer paths in the woods and looked down. My wife and I might like to try it again. We live in Massillon Ohio, not far from the Ohio River and it's West Virginia banks. Do you know of a place near the river where we can park and walk to the water's edge and start digging?
Good morning Clegg we talked about a year ago after I watched your method of cutting a stick and putting it in the ground and coming back when the water dropped and I’ve used it and worked great I will figure out a way of posting some pictures I’d love your opinion on the artifacts I find here in BC Canada 🇨🇦 anyway thanks again for all your input keep diggin brother
Just a warning to your viewers about mussels. Here in Indiana, it is illegal to keep even shells of dead mussels, let alone handling live ones. The reason is two fold; many species are endangered and the DNR wants to discourage the monetizing of the shells for buttons.
Most the ones I find here along the Ohio River are pretty deteriorated, and I’ve only seen a few live ones. I’ve never gotten any in the sifter. There’s a large creek near here, muscle shells everywhere
hey i been following you for a while now, i live right on the ohio river about a mile from where the Kanawha River links up, i live in point pleasant i find random clovis, scrapers and big sandy arrow heads, sometimes i find sandrock weights and rock carvings in the cornfields when they get disced, but ive never found any old firepits from washouts or anything on the river banks, im doing what you are but never any luck. do you have any tips? Thanks!
I don’t come across them often, but they can be found. Mostly on a cut bank. And it’s usually winter. Very difficult with weeds in summer. The cornfields usually are disrupted by the plows over the years.
When my dad was a kid, a friend of his knew where there was a native dump spot. The inly thing i have from it is an intact clay pipe, well, 3 large pieces but complete. Seen some in a museum (incomplete) that look similar. Dates range from 600 bc to 1600 ad. Its the oldest thing i have lol

Same here Paul. It’s a connection to the past
I feel the same way. It makes the past seem more real & less distant. It amazes me! Thanks for sharing!
We've been in North America for at least ~23,000 years, lots still to find. What an awesome hobby.
Long time!
"Ya"ll ain't gonna believe this" is now in heavy rotation with my kid and I 😂
We’re starting a trend!👍

Sounds like a good area. Maybe go back when the water is low or look where some stones have gathered. Gotta be more there
I dont know why you showed up in feed, but Im sure glad it did. Absolutely amazing!!!

Thank you. The site is just above, so they all seem to be close around there. There’s no current, it’s mostly just water level fluctuations and waves.
@@cleggsadventures Maybe no current now but what about a couple thousand years ago?
@@nboldrini yeah, there was current before the dams, probably 100 years ago

Depending on the timeframe. You can look a population charts. They say in Paleo times, there were only 5-10 million people worldwide.
Just thinking about all the different cultures that existed had to have been well over millions 🤯
Where are you , what lake?

I'm in Ohio and we find lots of Flint Ridge material, we also find quite a bit of black Kanawa. Nice finds, I can see by the wear on your shovel that you stay busy huntin!
I find the same types. That Adena was made from Black Kanawha. Yeah, I need a new shovel
Always the man, kudos!

Enjoying your enthusiasm! Small suggestion, check the map for the relative locations of Italy and California. Happy hunting.
I don’t know I saw a special on TV. Two. Italian boys in Europe, little toy boat, go in the ocean, and it floated around the world.
Great video and I love the TDF hat!
Thank you! Mobleys👍
Awesome video as always brother!! Keep on searchin!
Thanks James!👍
Great day, Scott! That big knife blade is killer. Loved the color of the local chert too. Looking forward to the next one. Hoping you find some rarities. Glad to see you’re gaining some ground here on UA-cam. Your vids now have ads! 👍.
Thanks Rob. I liked the blade most of all.
Nice finds. Wish I was there with you.
Much Appreciated Kurt
Had a hunting lease 20 miles outside of Natchez Mississippi. My kids would find tons of arrowheads along the stream that ran through the lease.
Pretty cool!!
Sounds like a great place 👍
From one Clegg to another, very cool hobby.
Much Appreciated Peter! Our name isn’t too common. In 2016, I visited England, where the Clegg name originated. Was very cool! Lots of things name after Cleggs. If you’re interested, I have the photos of the trip on my Facebook profile. They’re in all my pictures somewhere along with the trip to the “Last of The Summer Wine” town.
Nice video Scott! I hope to have a day that good one day!!!
I’d love to search your area with ya sometime
Good video interesting facts thats
Thank you John 👍
Even when native Americans were at war with each other, Flint ridge was considered neutral ground. they would let anybody in to get material. or that's what I read years ago and a very reputable book
If that’s true, I’d say that happened in more historic Native times, after Europeans showed up. Before that, how would anyone know? Not saying that’s false, but it’s a guess at best
Awesome finds brother
Much Appreciated Wes
Thinking you need to start digging in that bank above the tree line you talked about.
Like a gold prospector, you're finding float gold. Time to follow it up to the mother load!!
It’s kind different on this stuff. It’s more concentrated at the water.
I am enjoying your videos and have learned a lot. It has been years since I have looked for arrowheads. I wish i has seen a few of your videos back 30 odd years ago I think I would have found a lot more points. Back then I just walked the deer paths in the woods and looked down. My wife and I might like to try it again. We live in Massillon Ohio, not far from the Ohio River and it's West Virginia banks. Do you know of a place near the river where we can park and walk to the water's edge and start digging?
I don’t know. Unless you have some friends down this way. Or unless you have a boat. Boat is the best way to look.
Love your passion
Much Appreciated
Great content
Much Appreciated
Probably Used to Open Packages from the Amazon !
Why would their be a marble alongside 1500 year old arrowheads…might as well find a hot wheel from a happy meal 😂enjoy your search ..awesome man !
There is everything known to man down there.
Good morning Clegg we talked about a year ago after I watched your method of cutting a stick and putting it in the ground and coming back when the water dropped and I’ve used it and worked great I will figure out a way of posting some pictures I’d love your opinion on the artifacts I find here in BC Canada 🇨🇦 anyway thanks again for all your input keep diggin brother
Very Nice! I’m on Facebook to share
Awesome points !!
Much Appreciated 👍
Just a warning to your viewers about mussels. Here in Indiana, it is illegal to keep even shells of dead mussels, let alone handling live ones. The reason is two fold; many species are endangered and the DNR wants to discourage the monetizing of the shells for buttons.
Most the ones I find here along the Ohio River are pretty deteriorated, and I’ve only seen a few live ones. I’ve never gotten any in the sifter. There’s a large creek near here, muscle shells everywhere
hey i been following you for a while now, i live right on the ohio river about a mile from where the Kanawha River links up, i live in point pleasant i find random clovis, scrapers and big sandy arrow heads, sometimes i find sandrock weights and rock carvings in the cornfields when they get disced, but ive never found any old firepits from washouts or anything on the river banks, im doing what you are but never any luck. do you have any tips? Thanks!
I don’t come across them often, but they can be found. Mostly on a cut bank. And it’s usually winter. Very difficult with weeds in summer. The cornfields usually are disrupted by the plows over the years.
Great video and explanation about sand and artifacts thanks buddy
Oh yeah what a score dude 😎
Very Much Appreciated
@@cleggsadventures could you maybe tell me your opinion on a point I found Sir?
@@SLBLADE If you could show me somehow. I’m on Facebook
@@cleggsadventures ok I'm Robert buddy ✌️
When my dad was a kid, a friend of his knew where there was a native dump spot. The inly thing i have from it is an intact clay pipe, well, 3 large pieces but complete. Seen some in a museum (incomplete) that look similar. Dates range from 600 bc to 1600 ad. Its the oldest thing i have lol
Those sound really nice! I’ve only found pieces to a pipe before
@@cleggsadventures still crazy that anything is found, that deep in the dirt
Wow! Native Americans invented Bows & Arrows, Marbles, and Xacto Knives!
Thanks!
Thank you So Much Robert! Very Much Appreciated 👍✌️
