These gifts of history, I have found a few. A man ,like me, made these things without modern tools. Yes I hollered like a kid ,when I found my first one. Thanks guys.
Yeeeeesss!!!!!! That’s how u cure a bad case of PD fellas!!!! What a hunt! An assortment of different artifacts to boot!!! Spike, u got a knack for making exquisite videos! Everybody loves the hunt, but u bring it all to life in the video and makes us feel as tho we were there!! Thanks for the extra time u put in my friend on these awesome vids!!! Congrats to all u guys on a spectacular hunt!! God bless!!!!!
Thanks so much guys. We appreciate your support and kind words. It really does mean a lot when someone notices the work we put into something. Thanks again and GL&HH to yall.
I stumbled across your page about a week ago. And everytime I have a chance I'm watching your videos. I can't get enough! I grew up in Mississippi creeks and fields... never knew what I could be walking on. Gonna take the kids this summer, as usual, but now we'll have a new activity to do.
Thanks for the great comment. We are glad you found us too. A couple weeks ago UA-cam did something that caused some of our videos to show up in a lot more recommended videos for people. We don't know what it was but it has exposed our channel to a lot more folks and it has been great. Good luck this summer out hunting artifacts with the kids. It just doesn't get any better than that.
I love watching you guys get excited. So much awesome energy. I do the same thing every time I find anything deep on a creek. I've learned so much from you guys. I listen to y'alls videos while I dig. I found stone tools yesterday. I want to start my own team watching you guys, lol.
A new honey hole! You will have everybody wanting to tag along now! Keep Kenneth along and rub that youngins head once in awhile for luck! ( loved you guys dragging him away! ) My favorite find of this video is the bead! Y'all never disappoint!
Thanks again for a great comment. We decided to do the bit with Kenneth after we almost did have to drag him away. Randy and I were packed up and he was still digging saying "I know there is something in this hole. I just know it."
Guys, thanks so much for these videos. Have really been enjoying them. Used to walk the fields in the spring in Missouri as a kid and pick up arrowheads and other artifacts. Never thought about sifting creeks. Cool stuff and beautiful pieces you're finding.
Thank you very much! We appreciate that. Check out some our other videos. If you like this one chances are you're going to like them too. Thanks again.
lol You have to weigh your fear of some creatures against your desire to find an artifact. We would wrestle a grizzly bear if we thought he was standing between us and a good point. Not really lol.
There's one in every crowd that doesn't want to leave...lol...I'm just like Kenny...just one more...just one more...lol...that bead got my heart racing...magnificent...some really neat finds that day...
Thanks David. It was a great day for sure. I have wanted to find a bead for 38 years and Kenneth finds one in his first year lol. That's the way it goes. He works hard at it and deserves it. He really wasn't wanting to leave but it was getting late . That's how we came up with the idea for us dragging him out lol.
You guys done it again, wow great finds you guys killed it again. Really love the bead that's something I've never found and for Kenneth you let him know that he's good but he didn't get that way if it wasn't for learning from two of the best and he don't need to forget it. Can't wait till the next time keep um coming from right down the road Mark Martin DeFuniak Springs Fl.
Thanks Mark. As for Kenneth, he gets it honestly. He has two uncles that were doing what we are doing many years ago. In fact they encouraged us to get in the creeks and dig for years but we just couldn't "wrap our minds" around it. Once we tried it we were hooked on the creeks. So it's in Kenneth's blood so to speak (but we did help) lol. Thanks again and GL&HH.
lol We will have to get together sometime. I do need a few more kayak lessons though. I seem to stay out of mine more than in it. lol Thanks again and GL&HH
Thank you for coming along with us. From all accounts this is going to be a great creek but challenging to get to all parts of it. A lot of paddling gonna have to take place.
I bet, this video makes me want to buy a kayak and try some of my bigger creeks haha. Check out the finds IN the video i just posted..was a good 2 hour creek walk
My son and I just went out for the 2nd time together. We went to 3 different creeks today. Just looking on the surface. Finely had our first identifiable find ever. A nice scraper. Would love to hit a honey hole like yours!
I have found myself binge watching your videos. You guys find awesome stuff! thanks for sharing. Looking forward to some good weather so I can get my buddy off the couch and do some looking myself lol
Thanks. We love binge watchers lol. It's hard to get off the couch in bad weather, I know. We got out yesterday in less than ideal weather and we had a killer day! Video will be out next week. GL&HH
Because of no till farming in our area (northern Ohio), river, creek & lake shorelines are very productive places to look. Over 60 years of scouring farm fields& shorelines I've had a lot of fun&a found some very nice artifacts. You guys carry on, good luck to ya!
You guys need to start going to that Creek more often that paid off well congratulations great finds this is jtr Arrowhead man signing out Lafayette Indiana
when you guys found that red bead, it looked like there was another smaller grey bead that made it through the mesh. you should make a smaller strainer to run the smaller stuff through. just a tip! Good stuff guys!
I broke down and bought a fishing kayak.. I've only had it out once and found a couple of brokes.. but the kayak really helps get u into those hard to reach areas and helps packing in your gear.. This summer will be interesting.. Nice haul y'all!!
You guys inspired me to go look for artifacts and I wish I could post a photo for you to see the new obsidion point I found yesterday. I guess it was calling me!
Nanette Barling We are so glad we inspired you to go find your point. That means we are doing what we set out to do. You can share your find with us and others on our Facebook page or you can send us a pic in a message on the page. Please do. Thanks for watching and for letting us know we inspired you.
I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time. I do have to say I really appreciate watching you guys hunt. I’ve been searching for arrowheads for most of my life and I’ve only found a small handful here in California. I really got to get me tuition good grounds one day and make up for lost time.Keep the video’s coming.
Yea stone beads are very few and far between. Around here we find a lot of glass trade beads and stuff but the stone ones i have only 1 of in 20 years. My dad has i think 3 in 40 years. We pretty much just surface hunt, i would love to start sifting and stuff but the laws are kinda weird and make me nervous lol
What makes me like your channel is that i can totally feel the excitement you guys have for this, and it makes me smile cause i completely understand, i love that feeling when you find a beautiful point. Its just somethin else
Thanks Joseph. We plan on "dredging" every inch of it we can. We stay off the creeks pretty much in hunting season out of respect for the deer hunters but we will get back one more time before their season gets going too hot and heavy. See what you started! Thanks again and GL&HH.
Just found this video. This is one of my favorites! From the location, to the artifacts found, to the glamour shots, to the very ending-"one more scoop"! Great production! Thanks for your efforts in sharing and inspiring! 👍👊
Nice intro song I have heard it before in another video. Great editing BTW I know it takes time to do it up good. At 3:42 that's the Gator point! LOL Another Great video to reflect back on this winter waiting to go again next year! TFS
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't know that we could teach you anything but hunting Oklahoma sounds fun to us. We've been invited up that way a couple times and hope to get up there one day.
Great video guys ! You seem like great guys I need to find some buddy’s like you I’m always out hunting by myself. Anyway awesome finds thanks for sharing and keep it up fellas!!
Thanks and thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. This video just goes to show you can't always go by the view count to determine how good a video is. We think it is one of our better videos.
good to see you fellas got some yaks & they already paid off, one thing I like about them, it takes very little water to float one, even heavily loaded, y'all found a full pocket on goodn's, loved seeing that little Bouya point, think I found one of those here one time long ago, as we find a lot of conch shell and TX style points here, so I don't see why not LA point to be hiding in the mix, Kenneth is really bit by the rock now. best wishes Y'ALL
Thanks Brooksy for coming along with us and leaving a great comment. Yep, Kenneth has got it bad but he gets it honestly. His uncle and great uncle have found some amazing artifacts a few years back. In fact they are the ones that kept saying, "yall need to get in these creeks". Kenneth and these other young folks are the future of this hobby and it does a heart good to see them take to it like he has. Thanks again and GL&HH.
Oh don't tempt us. We are wanting to come up there and get in on some CIvil War relic hunting anyway. To top it off with some beautiful Va points would be fantastic. Thanks for watching and for the invite and GL&HH.
I have just started creek hunting this year.Found a creek thats next to one of South jerseys biggest native archaeology sites and Me and a friend have pulled about ten points out of a fifty yard section of creek with more points up and downstream but not at that dense of a cluster as in the 50 yard Honey Hole. We have been finding them on the surface on the bottom of the creek in the deeper holes and on top of the sand bars.The creek bottom is sand and gravel and at most groin deep.fast in sone spots and medium in others but always moving.The Honey Hole has a low shelf of land on it's south bank high enough for a camp and about 200 yards from the main Village site called Indian head. Apparently points can be found at any depth and on sand or gravel from what we've found but what I want to know is where would be the best spots to dig.I have bought me a feed scoop like you guys use and have a non floating 14 inch square trapping sifter. Should i dig into the sand bars that follow the creek flow or concentrate in the deeper holes and depressions under logs where the gravel is most dense? Last few times I have been there I have found nothing.I think we worked it out,at least till the next flood,unless of course we dig in the creek bed.Also found a real nice triangular corner notch in a bluff on another creek by scraping bluff face with a trowel into sifter then reaching down into creek and shaking.Fourth sifter full Bingo!. haven't found one there since. Thanks for any pointers.I like creeks because it's cool in summer and most of the points are not broken like when I field hunt.
I would concentrate on the pockets of gravel wherever you find them. That's what we do and it works pretty good. Digging sand is tough and you have to dig deep enough to get into any rock layer beneath. That said, we have heard it can be done. We like the creeks for the same reason, better quality all the way around. Good luck and happy hunting!
I just bought me 2 of those plastic sand scoops off of amazon and would you recommend a small Old Town canoe say about 10 ft. for getting down river and searching some river islands that would not be too hard to paddle back up river !!!!
Thanks for watching and for the question. I would recommend a 12 sit on top kayak. I had teo different 10 footers and kept turning them over lol. Of course I'm older, bigger and less agile than most folks lol. Good luck and let us know how you do. Spike
@@HeartbreakerRelics I go my on one of the Old Town Discovery 119 canoes in camo of course !! It's something about the deeper the boat that I like as far as feeling more sturdy of safe and it only weighs about 50 lbs. give or take !!! And its a one seater of course !!! with plenty of cargo space if needed !!!
Randy and I have about 60 years collectively between us hunting these artifacts. We each do have a game ball but neither of us have ever found a bead. Kenneth starts and in his first year has found some absolutely killer artifacts. But then again, it's in his blood line.
It probably was part of a necklace but it could have been decoration for clothing or head dress or maybe earrings. In any case, we will be back looking for more of it.
I wish that you would show us some of that petrified wood I would like to have some of it if I ever go to Mississippi Point hunting I would like to see how big the pieces are and what it looks like because it's so different in every area of the United States really enjoy your videos and they've been quite educational to me you know I have a hookah diving system which is surface to play dare to be very interesting to dive in some of those pools that you have on that Creek because in a big storm a lot of stuff of the worst into the pools and lower areas be interesting to the dive in thoses and fan around there I bet you'll find quite a bit
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I am leaving a link at the bottom to one of our videos where we show more of the petrified wood and closer up. Randy and Chance are both divers and hopefully next year we will be able to get into some of those deep holes and check them out. Stay tuned.
Thanks for watching and for the question. We usually look for pockets of isolated gravel. We learn something every time we go and lately we have been sifting larger gravel bars with some great success. Each creek is different so try different areas but always areas where gravel will collect. Smaller creeks can produce some great artifacts. Remember to always get permission.
Has no one else seen the point at 18:32 right side of his hand on outer part of the screen? Its red with a black point. Oh well that was 2 years ago LOL
Damn good spot y'all found! That Bayougula (bet I misspelled that horribly) is a beautiful piece of work; I can imagine some poor hunter moaning about losing his best point into the water or bank and hunting all over for it. And that BEAD. O_O!!! And the drills-- I flintknap, but I can't seem to get the hang of making drills yet. More practice..... I have to say, I'm envious of the beautiful stone that the old knappers in that area had available. It's really beautiful stuff, very pure and clean. Also, got a question for you: Have any of you ever had your points put to an arrow or dart-shaft, just to see how they'd look? As a fair-to-middling amateur knapper, I'd love to see some authentic points actually set to shafts-- if you have (or are going to), could you please post pics? I don't think I've seen that anywhere-- new points, yes, but not old ones, ever. Thanks! I'm going kayaking down the Verde River for three days here in AZ in a month; maybe I'll find me a point or two myself. Here's hoping! (BTW, when Randy had his face in the water, I kept expecting him to act like a gator'd got him. :P That's what I would've done.)
Thanks for the great comment. We have never had one of our points mounted on a shaft. Most of the material used in this area is Mississippi Citronelle gravel chert (river rock). A lot of it is heat treated. Also that is one of the reasons we don't find really large stuff. The rocks just aren't that big. The Tallahatta quartzite of course is different. That's one reason we like it so much. Good luck on your kayak trip and stay safe.
I live in Houston co Alabama my family land is in Taylor Alabama I have a relic that my great grandfather found back in the 20s with a plow mule it look kind of like a top but it can't be a top I wish I knew how to call one of y'all so I could send a pic y'all would go crazy if you seen it
Beautiful artifacts. Do you know how old the artifacts are or which native American Indian nations were in the area? Thanks for the cure too, I feel better after having watched your video.
Thanks. Send anything to: Randy Roberson 9105 Franklin Creek Rd. Moss Point, MS 39562 We are going to have to get a P.O. Box though. Thanks for the bringing this to our attention and thanks again for watching our channel and all the great comments.
When it was suggested to us many years ago we should get into the creeks and dig we couldn't wrap our minds around the idea even though we saw the artifacts these folks had found in the creeks. It just seemed like such a stretch. Luckily our first point in a creek came fairly easy and it has been a blast since then. By far my favorite way to hunt them. Thanks again and GL&HH. Spike
Great video guys. One question is that 3x3 (3/8 in ) wire? It looks 1/2 inch to me. In my opinion 1/4 inch is too small and 1/2 is inch too big. I've only found a couple places that sells a three-by-three and they're higher than a kite on price. so just curious. good luck on your next hunt.
Thanks and thanks for the question. This is one of the last videos where we used 1/2 inch hardware cloth. If you noticed Randy had already upgraded to 1/4 inch. The 1/4 is really light and will break easily so we had to start layering it over the 1/2 inch stuff. In the video after this one we almost lost a couple of little bird points and that is when we swapped over to the double layered 1/4 over 1/2. I have included a link to that video. We have found a local hardware store that will sell it by the foot and it is really reasonable. I don't know that I've ever seen 3/8 inch around here. ua-cam.com/video/fiO-u8tYYlw/v-deo.html
Thanks for the question. As the points wash off the ridges and into the creek they are swept along in the current until they are stopped by something such as an eddy or a log.
lol We filmed this because this is almost the way it went it down. We almost had to drag Kenneth out of there. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Seems to me most of your creek finds are always small roughly made points mostly made of the same kind of brownish colored flint.No matter what creek, they just look the same to me. Am i right or am i wrong?
Yes sir, you are absolutely correct. The material they had to work with was limited to gravel chert or Tallahatta quartzite with the latter being at a premium in our area. Most gravel chert is yellow to brown until heat treated then you'll start to see the reds come out. Our area is also loaded with late Archaic to early Woodland points with Gary and Pontchatrain points being very common.
We have been asked before and believe it or not our collections while they are very nice are really not that impressive. That said we have talked about it and may just put something together here before too long. Thanks for the request.
Heartbreaker Relics Thanks for your reply I think you are right. I do believe that in the Canadian north it could go back as far as 30,000. Years only because populations probably crossed over the North Pole. But never made it further south.
Forgive me because I'm new to this hobby. But, how did the artifacts end up in the creeks? Was it creekside camps eroding into the water? Random hunting activity near water source? Just trying to understand what to look for and Native American habits. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.
Thanks for watching and for the great question. The vast majority of the points that end up in the creeks are from creekside camps washing off into the water. I'm sure there are a few "stray bullets" washed in that were lost on hunting trips but not near as many as those from camps.
How could you possibly find that many in such a small area? I mean was this like Indian-ville or something? I just can't believe this many Indians lost this many heads in this area. Those have to take some time to make and i doubt they just walked around carelessly with them?
These artifacts wash off the ridges and collect in these holes in these creeks. This continent has been occupied for thousands and thousands of years. Over these years literally billions of artifacts were made, points, scrapers, and preforms just to name a few. When these people died they didn't take them with them. The stone tools don't rot or decay. Most are in the ground still. Eventually some of them wash into creeks and rivers. Think about it.
Paul here. What a great hobby, you combine the wonderful views of your river travels and the artifacts you find.
Thanks Paul. We try to show the full adventure.
These gifts of history, I have found a few. A man ,like me, made these things without modern tools. Yes I hollered like a kid ,when I found my first one. Thanks guys.
Thank you! Kinda hard not to get excited! It is all our pleasure. Thank you for watching.
I'm going back through watching old videos as always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for the visit and thanks for leaving a comment. We appreciate that. That's how we grow.
Incredible hunt fellas!!!
That first rounded leaf shape point was the most incredible find.
All excellent pieces!!
Thank you for recording finds!!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Yeeeeesss!!!!!! That’s how u cure a bad case of PD fellas!!!! What a hunt! An assortment of different artifacts to boot!!! Spike, u got a knack for making exquisite videos! Everybody loves the hunt, but u bring it all to life in the video and makes us feel as tho we were there!! Thanks for the extra time u put in my friend on these awesome vids!!!

I love this. As a young guy it's good to see there are others in my generation still enjoying this hobby as much as I do. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. You younger folks are the future of this hobby. We are glad to see so many interested in it. GL&HH.
Fantastic hunt boys! The ending was hilarious and very appropriate!
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. Yes it was appropriate. That kid don't quit.
A new honey hole! You will have everybody wanting to tag along now!
Keep Kenneth along and rub that youngins head once in awhile for luck! ( loved you guys dragging him away! )
My favorite find of this video is the bead!
Y'all never disappoint!

Thank you very much! We appreciate that. Check out some our other videos. If you like this one chances are you're going to like them too. Thanks again.
snapping turtles, water moccasins too? scary reacing into branches and deep holes. woowee.
lol You have to weigh your fear of some creatures against your desire to find an artifact. We would wrestle a grizzly bear if we thought he was standing between us and a good point. Not really lol.
Bayougoola sounds close enough to hallelujah, that one and the rest of em certainly a cure for projectile disfunction, well done guys!
We knew we had a cure! What a relief! lol Thanks and GL&HH to you.
Wow, the mother of all glory holes! Beautiful just beautiful.
Thanks for watching and for leaving a great comment. GL&HH
There's one in every crowd that doesn't want to leave...lol...I'm just like Kenny...just one more...just one more...lol...that bead got my heart racing...magnificent...some really neat finds that day...

Hey Spike you guys made some nice finds that's a nice bead, drill and other goodies.
Thanks Tommy. So proud of Kenneth's bead find. The kid has a great eye.
Y’all are kings of creek hunting!! Great vid as always! Love to hear Spike holler when he finds one 👍👍
Thanks! I do get excited lol.
Good job guys, hard work paid off
Thanks!
What a day in the creek ! Goin' out to put my kayak on the roof and head y'alls way . Those were some real beauties from that there crick !
lol We will have to get together sometime. I do need a few more kayak lessons though. I seem to stay out of mine more than in it. lol Thanks again and GL&HH
Man that bead is awesome!!!
Thanks.
Heck of a day! Insane bayou goula and really nice bead! Hell of a hunt! Great video guys!
Thanks John. We appreciate the great comment. Yep, those are two fantastic artifacts and are few and far between. GL&HH my friend.
Hi Guys You're Excitment is Magnetic Fantastic keep finding those brilliant relics 😀
Thanks. We're sure gonna try.
As always, another great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Great Finds!
Thanks.
That was the definition of a awesome hunt! Beautiful artifacts coming out of that creek. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for coming along with us. From all accounts this is going to be a great creek but challenging to get to all parts of it. A lot of paddling gonna have to take place.
I bet, this video makes me want to buy a kayak and try some of my bigger creeks haha. Check out the finds IN the video i just posted..was a good 2 hour creek walk
Thanks we surely will. I just subscribed so I can find it easier on my TV and watch them.
Nice finds and like always Great job on your video Spike. My 6 year old Granddaughter is becoming a Big Fan!
Thanks Gary. Having your granddaughter as a fan makes me very happy.
My son and I just went out for the 2nd time together. We went to 3 different creeks today. Just looking on the surface. Finely had our first identifiable find ever. A nice scraper. Would love to hit a honey hole like yours!
That's great! Congratulations! Thanks for watching and good luck.
I have found myself binge watching your videos. You guys find awesome stuff! thanks for sharing. Looking forward to some good weather so I can get my buddy off the couch and do some looking myself lol
Thanks. We love binge watchers lol. It's hard to get off the couch in bad weather, I know. We got out yesterday in less than ideal weather and we had a killer day! Video will be out next week. GL&HH
The best music on the tube.
Thanks.
great creek guys .nice finds
Thanks we appreciate it.
Because of no till farming in our area (northern Ohio), river, creek & lake shorelines are very productive places to look. Over 60 years of scouring farm fields& shorelines I've had a lot of fun&a found some very nice artifacts. You guys carry on, good luck to ya!
Thanks and the same to you. We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Pretty country and cool finds. Love y'alls passion for relics.
Thanks.
You guys need to start going to that Creek more often that paid off well congratulations great finds this is jtr Arrowhead man signing out Lafayette Indiana
Thanks Jeff, for watching and for leaving a comment. We have plans to go back soon so stay tuned.
when you guys found that red bead, it looked like there was another smaller grey bead that made it through the mesh. you should make a smaller strainer to run the smaller stuff through. just a tip! Good stuff guys!
Yes, I see it at 3 o'clock in the closeup.
I broke down and bought a fishing kayak.. I've only had it out once and found a couple of brokes.. but the kayak really helps get u into those hard to reach areas and helps packing in your gear.. This summer will be interesting..
Nice haul y'all!!
Thanks and good luck on your adventures!
Thanks so very much for responding!! Love the videos!
Mike Driggers You are so welcome and thanks again for watching.
You guys inspired me to go look for artifacts and I wish I could post a photo for you to see the new obsidion point I found yesterday. I guess it was calling me!

Couple cute points boys, good work. The bead is nice too, really dont come across them very often at all
Thanks. Randy and I have been hunting for a combined 60 years and never found a bead so we were pretty excited about it.
Yea stone beads are very few and far between. Around here we find a lot of glass trade beads and stuff but the stone ones i have only 1 of in 20 years. My dad has i think 3 in 40 years.

Nice job boy's . Happy Hunting.From a New subscriber.
Thanks, for watching, subscribing and for leaving a comment! Glad to have you on board.
Great creek...I'd dig the bottom out of it lol....Great vid and hunt guys...Congrats
Thanks Joseph. We plan on "dredging" every inch of it we can. We stay off the creeks pretty much in hunting season out of respect for the deer hunters but we will get back one more time before their season gets going too hot and heavy. See what you started! Thanks again and GL&HH.

Sweet!!!!!!! awesome new spot ..
Thanks. It sure is but that kayaking is tough on an old man. lol
Always enjoy your videos .. awesome group of guys would be great to have friends like that who love collecting as much as i do. 👍🖒👏
Thanks. We have a ball and you're right. The mutual interest just amplifies the whole experience.
Nice intro song I have heard it before in another video. Great editing BTW I know it takes time to do it up good. At 3:42 that's the Gator point! LOL Another Great video to reflect back on this winter waiting to go again next year! TFS
Thanks for watching and for a great comment Calvin. GL&HH
Hello i watch all yalls stuff love it
Thank you so much!
You guys need to come to Oklahoma and teach a few of us how to do this!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't know that we could teach you anything but hunting Oklahoma sounds fun to us. We've been invited up that way a couple times and hope to get up there one day.
SOME GREAT FINDS WELL DONE GL&HH
Thanks and GL&HH to you too.
Had so much fun watching this video - both seeing the finds and seeing the passion for them. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks. We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving as well!
Great video guys ! You seem like great guys I need to find some buddy’s like you I’m always out hunting by myself. Anyway awesome finds thanks for sharing and keep it up fellas!!
Thanks for watching and for the great comment and good luck finding a good hunting partner.
What a great video! Good job guys.
Thanks and thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. This video just goes to show you can't always go by the view count to determine how good a video is. We think it is one of our better videos.
Great Video with lots of enthusiasm and interesting bantering!!! Peace to you three and I’m gna subscribe.
Thank you for watching and for the comment. We are glad to have you on board.
good to see you fellas got some yaks & they already paid off, one thing I like about them, it takes very little water to float one, even heavily loaded, y'all found a full pocket on goodn's, loved seeing that little Bouya point, think I found one of those here one time long ago, as we find a lot of conch shell and TX style points here, so I don't see why not LA point to be hiding in the mix, Kenneth is really bit by the rock now. best wishes Y'ALL
Thanks Brooksy for coming along with us and leaving a great comment. Yep, Kenneth has got it bad but he gets it honestly. His uncle and great uncle have found some amazing artifacts a few years back. In fact they are the ones that kept saying, "yall need to get in these creeks". Kenneth and these other young folks are the future of this hobby and it does a heart good to see them take to it like he has. Thanks again and GL&HH.
You boys make it up to Va and I'll set you up on some points. Keep up the good work
Oh don't tempt us. We are wanting to come up there and get in on some CIvil War relic hunting anyway. To top it off with some beautiful Va points would be fantastic. Thanks for watching and for the invite and GL&HH.
Hey guys really like your videos keep them coming
Thanks. We plan on it.
Nice points guys
Thanks.
I have just started creek hunting this year.Found a creek thats next to one of South jerseys biggest native archaeology sites and Me and a friend have pulled about ten points out of a fifty yard section of creek with more points up and downstream but not at that dense of a cluster as in the 50 yard Honey Hole. We have been finding them on the surface on the bottom of the creek in the deeper holes and on top of the sand bars.The creek bottom is sand and gravel and at most groin deep.fast in sone spots and medium in others but always moving.The Honey Hole has a low shelf of land on it's south bank high enough for a camp and about 200 yards from the main Village site called Indian head. Apparently points can be found at any depth and on sand or gravel from what we've found but what I want to know is where would be the best spots to dig.I have bought me a feed scoop like you guys use and have a non floating 14 inch square trapping sifter. Should i dig into the sand bars that follow the creek flow or concentrate in the deeper holes and depressions under logs where the gravel is most dense? Last few times I have been there I have found nothing.I think we worked it out,at least till the next flood,unless of course we dig in the creek bed.Also found a real nice triangular corner notch in a bluff on another creek by scraping bluff face with a trowel into sifter then reaching down into creek and shaking.Fourth sifter full Bingo!. haven't found one there since. Thanks for any pointers.I like creeks because it's cool in summer and most of the points are not broken like when I field hunt.
I would concentrate on the pockets of gravel wherever you find them. That's what we do and it works pretty good. Digging sand is tough and you have to dig deep enough to get into any rock layer beneath. That said, we have heard it can be done. We like the creeks for the same reason, better quality all the way around. Good luck and happy hunting!
Thanks! Was just watching you guys hunt a muddy field in the rain when the alert came up! Hard Core right there!
I just bought me 2 of those plastic sand scoops off of amazon and would you recommend a small Old Town canoe say about 10 ft. for getting down river and searching some river islands that would not be too hard to paddle back up river !!!!
Thanks for watching and for the question. I would recommend a 12 sit on top kayak. I had teo different 10 footers and kept turning them over lol. Of course I'm older, bigger and less agile than most folks lol. Good luck and let us know how you do.
Spike
@@HeartbreakerRelics I go my on one of the Old Town Discovery 119 canoes in camo of course !! It's something about the deeper the boat that I like as far as feeling more sturdy of safe and it only weighs about 50 lbs. give or take !!! And its a one seater of course !!! with plenty of cargo space if needed !!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 gottcha and good luck!
Great program and finds hi from Steve in England
Thanks We love our international friends!
What are those scoopers called and where can I get one?
Good job fellows great video to my friends
Thanks Scott. We appreciate it. GL&HH and let us know when you kill that deer.
Thank You All for another Great video !!! ***cheers*** Awesome Artifacts ! =)
Thanks again for watching and for leaving a great comment. We appreciate you.
I love finding arrowheads
Those are all really beautiful and that bead is awesome, but I agree with you Spike, no way I’d get in that dark water!!
Randy and I have about 60 years collectively between us hunting these artifacts. We each do have a game ball but neither of us have ever found a bead. Kenneth starts and in his first year has found some absolutely killer artifacts. But then again, it's in his blood line.
Heartbreaker Relics It really is cool! I’m thinking you guys should go back and find the rest of the necklace...would it have been a necklace?
It probably was part of a necklace but it could have been decoration for clothing or head dress or maybe earrings. In any case, we will be back looking for more of it.
I wish that you would show us some of that petrified wood I would like to have some of it if I ever go to Mississippi Point hunting I would like to see how big the pieces are and what it looks like because it's so different in every area of the United States really enjoy your videos and they've been quite educational to me you know I have a hookah diving system which is surface to play dare to be very interesting to dive in some of those pools that you have on that Creek because in a big storm a lot of stuff of the worst into the pools and lower areas be interesting to the dive in thoses and fan around there I bet you'll find quite a bit
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I am leaving a link at the bottom to one of our videos where we show more of the petrified wood and closer up. Randy and Chance are both divers and hopefully next year we will be able to get into some of those deep holes and check them out. Stay tuned.
Do you look on the edge where the water use to be or just in the water
We look everywhere.
Cool video
Thanks.
Great finds as always! Where did y'all get those scoopers?
Thanks. We get the scoopers from a feed store or Tractor Supply and drill the holes in them ourselves.
How do you pick a spot out on the creek? Also, is there any chance of finding anything on a small creek?
Thanks for watching and for the question. We usually look for pockets of isolated gravel. We learn something every time we go and lately we have been sifting larger gravel bars with some great success. Each creek is different so try different areas but always areas where gravel will collect. Smaller creeks can produce some great artifacts. Remember to always get permission.
Heartbreaker Relics thanks for the information. I hope I can finally find something other than flakes lol.
@@tylerc3477 good luck!
What was that bead made from. Red flint.
Thanks for watching and for the question. I'm pretty sure the bead is made from red jasper.
Has no one else seen the point at 18:32 right side of his hand on outer part of the screen? Its red with a black point. Oh well that was 2 years ago LOL
It does look like a point but I think it's just a leaf. I hope it's just a leaf lol.
Spike
Is tallahada the real name for that material or just what yall call it?
Thanks for the question. Yes, it's Tallahatta quartzite or sandstone.
Damn good spot y'all found! That Bayougula (bet I misspelled that horribly) is a beautiful piece of work; I can imagine some poor hunter moaning about losing his best point into the water or bank and hunting all over for it. And that BEAD. O_O!!! And the drills-- I flintknap, but I can't seem to get the hang of making drills yet. More practice..... I have to say, I'm envious of the beautiful stone that the old knappers in that area had available. It's really beautiful stuff, very pure and clean. Also, got a question for you: Have any of you ever had your points put to an arrow or dart-shaft, just to see how they'd look? As a fair-to-middling amateur knapper, I'd love to see some authentic points actually set to shafts-- if you have (or are going to), could you please post pics? I don't think I've seen that anywhere-- new points, yes, but not old ones, ever. Thanks!
I'm going kayaking down the Verde River for three days here in AZ in a month; maybe I'll find me a point or two myself. Here's hoping! (BTW, when Randy had his face in the water, I kept expecting him to act like a gator'd got him. :P That's what I would've done.)
Thanks for the great comment. We have never had one of our points mounted on a shaft. Most of the material used in this area is Mississippi Citronelle gravel chert (river rock). A lot of it is heat treated. Also that is one of the reasons we don't find really large stuff. The rocks just aren't that big. The Tallahatta quartzite of course is different. That's one reason we like it so much. Good luck on your kayak trip and stay safe.
I live in Houston co Alabama my family land is in Taylor Alabama I have a relic that my great grandfather found back in the 20s with a plow mule it look kind of like a top but it can't be a top I wish I knew how to call one of y'all so I could send a pic y'all would go crazy if you seen it
You can send it to our Facebook page. facebook.com/heartbreakerrelics
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Cool and thanks :)
Thanks. It is our pleasure.
Awesome yall
Thanks a bunch!
John lear mentioned it too a couple times
Where do you get the scoopers from?
Mike Driggers We get them at feed stores or Tractor Supply then drill the holes in them ourselves.
Beautiful artifacts. Do you know how old the artifacts are or which native American Indian nations were in the area? Thanks for the cure too, I feel better after having watched your video.
Ed C it was considered choctaw country. The creek dwellers. Super cool artifacts yet to be found!!
Thanks for the question. The artifacts we find range from about 12,000 years old up to about 400 years old.
I want the gravel! LOL
Do y'all have a PO box or anything i would like to send y'all some things maybe randy another orange shirt!?
Thanks. Send anything to:
Randy Roberson
9105 Franklin Creek Rd.
Moss Point, MS 39562
We are going to have to get a P.O. Box though. Thanks for the bringing this to our attention and thanks again for watching our channel and all the great comments.
Creeks! I cannot imagine! Either and in any way - WORK = success!
When it was suggested to us many years ago we should get into the creeks and dig we couldn't wrap our minds around the idea even though we saw the artifacts these folks had found in the creeks. It just seemed like such a stretch. Luckily our first point in a creek came fairly easy and it has been a blast since then. By far my favorite way to hunt them. Thanks again and GL&HH.
Spike
excellent! Thanks
guaranteed bucketfuls : muddy boggy creek, southeastern oklahoma, near Atoka.
Great video guys. One question is that 3x3 (3/8 in ) wire? It looks 1/2 inch to me. In my opinion 1/4 inch is too small and 1/2 is inch too big. I've only found a couple places that sells a three-by-three and they're higher than a kite on price. so just curious. good luck on your next hunt.
Thanks and thanks for the question. This is one of the last videos where we used 1/2 inch hardware cloth. If you noticed Randy had already upgraded to 1/4 inch. The 1/4 is really light and will break easily so we had to start layering it over the 1/2 inch stuff. In the video after this one we almost lost a couple of little bird points and that is when we swapped over to the double layered 1/4 over 1/2. I have included a link to that video. We have found a local hardware store that will sell it by the foot and it is really reasonable. I don't know that I've ever seen 3/8 inch around here.

Why is there so many in 1 spot?
Thanks for the question. As the points wash off the ridges and into the creek they are swept along in the current until they are stopped by something such as an eddy or a log.
Lol just one more scoop. Can't tell how many times I've told myself one more scoop, or 15 more steps lol
lol We filmed this because this is almost the way it went it down. We almost had to drag Kenneth out of there. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Seems to me most of your creek finds are always small roughly made points mostly made of the same kind of brownish colored flint.No matter what creek, they just look the same to me. Am i right or am i wrong?
Yes sir, you are absolutely correct. The material they had to work with was limited to gravel chert or Tallahatta quartzite with the latter being at a premium in our area. Most gravel chert is yellow to brown until heat treated then you'll start to see the reds come out. Our area is also loaded with late Archaic to early Woodland points with Gary and Pontchatrain points being very common.
Can u do a video of your collection
We have been asked before and believe it or not our collections while they are very nice are really not that impressive. That said we have talked about it and may just put something together here before too long. Thanks for the request.
I've walked a long ways staring at the ground.
Yep, that's what it takes.
Well done gentleman... Killer bead
Thanks. That thing is awesome!
How long do you believe endogenous culture goes back?
Thanks for the question. In our area, I would say to around 12,000 years.
Heartbreaker Relics Thanks for your reply I think you are right. I do believe that in the Canadian north it could go back as far as 30,000. Years only because populations probably crossed over the North Pole. But never made it further south.
A cure for projectile dysfunction 🤣🤣🤣
Forgive me because I'm new to this hobby. But, how did the artifacts end up in the creeks? Was it creekside camps eroding into the water? Random hunting activity near water source? Just trying to understand what to look for and Native American habits. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.
Thanks for watching and for the great question. The vast majority of the points that end up in the creeks are from creekside camps washing off into the water. I'm sure there are a few "stray bullets" washed in that were lost on hunting trips but not near as many as those from camps.
Lol! Yall kill me.
We're glad you enjoy our adventures. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
How could you possibly find that many in such a small area? I mean was this like Indian-ville or something? I just can't believe this many Indians lost this many heads in this area. Those have to take some time to make and i doubt they just walked around carelessly with them?
These artifacts wash off the ridges and collect in these holes in these creeks. This continent has been occupied for thousands and thousands of years. Over these years literally billions of artifacts were made, points, scrapers, and preforms just to name a few. When these people died they didn't take them with them. The stone tools don't rot or decay. Most are in the ground still. Eventually some of them wash into creeks and rivers. Think about it.
I think it's kinda cute
It's to bad that stuff is not looked at as well as arrowheads
What stuff?
