I remember one time I was standing on a log. I was looking around a seen this leaf and thinking how beautiful it was. And I hopped off the log and walked closer to pick it up. And I started crying yes crying. It was most beautiful perfect arrowhead I had ever found.
Stellar finds friend. 🎉Those materials colors are gorgeous. I always get excited when i see you’ve posted. You’ve changed my perception of ditches 😊. Kind wishes
Mine too...you will find all colors here in Northeastern Mississippi.,but the predominate color is red and all hues of red. It really marbles up and the colors pop when heat treated....thanks for commenting
That leaf got me good too! Leafs, clam shells, shale, and clear plastic wrappers fool me all the time. That great big triangle at 3:00 was awesome! Great video as always, ditchwalker!
You have some great vision. I mean Eagle Eye kinda stuff. I have moved TONS (literally) of gravel in rivers and creeks in Virginia and have found nothing. You are blessed! Thanks for taking us along!
@@Theditchwalker Yes, sir. I live in a place that was once called Indian Town because of its Indiginous population when the first setlers came to Virginia. :)
Cool guys! Keep diggin 😁👍 you guys know your stuff,we just put up a video with some 3000 yr old Comanche petroglyphs that some just look like marks in the sandstone, we were told that tells a story,someone commented probably just sharpening there arrowheads?
My pleasure Jeff...we walked a new ditch yesterday and it was awesome...6 points and a pottery vessel leg/foot....upload every 3 weeks is the plan....thanks for commenting
That wind was killer sunday and monday wasnt it lol. That flash flood we got friday really did the ditches some good. We walked 7-8 miles in my main big creek monday and found 11 points. Hell of a day! Good luck to you from union county!
Yeah I didn't think k it was that much rain .,but I slept through a lot of it lol....it really wiped some stuff clean and knocked some things around....we better hurry.,they gonna silt quick
@@Theditchwalker yessir I went Sunday afternoon, all day Monday and yesterday after work and again today after work I’m fixing to check a little ditch right now lol. Got to hit the creeks other people walk first then my secret hidey holes after that haha.
Man, I'm glad you found a new spot and that last spot is the trouble I am having..the trenches are 3 to 4 foot deep with water and sand. Hope to get on them soon. Looking forward to seeing what yall find next time. Good luck and God Bless yall....
Nice to see at least some one getting to hunt creeks haven't turned over here since May last year beginning to wonder if they ever will this year either good luck my friend good luck to ya
Awesome finds and great job recording them! The last small point you found at the end is the same length as the one i found at the Ross Barnett spillway, the one i found is ovoid with a notched base though. Can't wait to see what the sifters reveal this summer, hopefully i remember my camera and get some more content for my channel too! Lol😂😂😂
One time I knew it was going to be a leaf and picked it up and was hard. At that point my brain didn't register it for about 30 seconds and it turned out to be an awesome arrowhead
Yeah, I hate "leaferites" too. I have a tip bro, Titanium is the absolute best tip you can have on your poking / walking stick. I have a spare tip for another walking stick I turned on a lathe at home. 3 / 4" diameter sharpened to a pencil point. One I use has lasted over 20 years! I tried steel, aluminum, hardened steel, titanium is the ticket. Bought a fiberglass shovel, hoe or something, removed the implement, drilled a hole, inserted my tip, drilled through, hammered in roll pins, and BAM! Been through 8 states and still going strong! I would be honored to give you my spare tip.
I went down clear creek after the rain water had stop flowing so hard and about amile north of hwy 84 in Adams county i came upon a wash out There before my eye's was a spear point just laying there,as if someone had laid it there for me it must have been at least 11 inches long and was all white like pure snow. Later i would sell it for over $4.000
I remember years back I found 2 woodland points and a 8 inch Basilisauris vertebrate. My Gal found 1 SWEET Paleo point. I assured her she won that day.!!
If the bow and arrow wasn’t brought to North America until 800 A.D., how did most of those arrowheads reach their target? Were they attached to the end of a stick or were they being flung through the air similar to the strap type weapon that David used against Goliath?
@@Theditchwalker well, you might be surprised if you pay a little more attention. Might just be a snap of a twig as they hide from you. Mississippi has wild people. good video of that one digging at the tree stump. Stay safe out there. Keep up the great work.
No it's not..it is 100% shark vert....shark vertebra are found here in Mississippi and other states....and yes I know sharks do not have bones...these vertebra were fossilized by a process known as ossification of cartilage....see there now I taught you something today.
@@Theditchwalker sorry but you are wrong….sharks vertebrae are made of cartilage and that is why they don’t fossilize. Don’t be putting out false information!!
If I didn't know what I was talking about.,then I wouldn't put it on here and teach people what I didn't know to be true... I learned this years ago from the state anthropologist as well as my states geologist and curator of the state museum of natural history....imagine telling them they are wrong.
There's a lot of things in those creeks that look like points....especially looking through a camera...my vantage point is way better and my eyes are well trained
People are misled that Indians were always at war....archaic peoples were all about survival...these are utilitarian knives and were not shot with a bow and arrow...thanks for commenting
@Theditchwalker dude the quantity of points found has to be a SMALL fraction of what's actually out there, the prolific amount of points found definitely indicates WARS , missed arrows shot at game would have been picked up by other members of the group after the kill
I remember one time I was standing on a log. I was looking around a seen this leaf and thinking how beautiful it was. And I hopped off the log and walked closer to pick it up. And I started crying yes crying. It was most beautiful perfect arrowhead I had ever found.
I can't tell you how many leaves have gotten my heart pumping while searching
That one sure had me going...thanks for commenting
I can...at least today...4...one was a 8 inch g10 Sedalia
Amen, brother
and pine cones
Ditchwalker, you never cease to amaze with those Mississippi colors! That last one from 2023 is my favorite.
Thanks Cherie....I fought the drought and then got frozen in.,then flooded in 😂...it's been a weird year weather wise....thanks for commenting

Always a good day when Theditchwalker uploads 🤘🏼😎

that big blade Shannon found looks like a reworked Decatur minus the base.Horseshoe would fit a draft horse.that faker.lol ive been there.
Awesome brother. You never disappoint 👍🇺🇸

I've seen it happen....my friend found a corner notched in the creek behind my house that sold for 3k......thanks for commenting
Yeah bibey!
Did anyone else see the face on the bottom of the point he found at 3 mins in? Cool
Awesome we are hoping for some flooding here in NWA this spring
Thank you for using B.C. and A.D.
Wonderful
I remember years back I found 2 woodland points and a 8 inch Basilisauris vertebrate. My Gal found 1 SWEET Paleo point. I assured her she won that day.!!
Haha...I guarantee it....how's that hip..?
Amazing
Nice content well done
Much appreciated
Nice finds brother...ole fakers sho do hurt but gets that blood pumping.
Congratulations
Appreciate it Scott....goodluck hunting and thanks for commenting
Nice 👍
It's not a bone but petrified wood. LOL
It is a shark vertebra.. 100%
The early archaic looks like it’s got a human face near the base
TREASURE!!!!!
If the bow and arrow wasn’t brought to North America until 800 A.D., how did most of those arrowheads reach their target? Were they attached to the end of a stick or were they being flung through the air similar to the strap type weapon that David used against Goliath?
Most of what you see were used as knives....but before the bow and arrow.,atlatl throwing devices were used
Are you scouting from a creek in wild wonderful West Virginia?
Northeastern Mississippi
You ever see or heard any Sasquatch when you’re out there looking in the creeks?
Lol...not that I'm aware of....
@@Theditchwalker well, you might be surprised if you pay a little more attention. Might just be a snap of a twig as they hide from you. Mississippi has wild people. good video of that one digging at the tree stump. Stay safe out there. Keep up the great work.
Any day finding points is a Good day
You got that rite..! Thanks for commenting
The first thing you found is a concretion not a rolled around shark vertebrae. If you found a shark vertebrae it would be the first of its kind!!
No it's not..it is 100% shark vert....shark vertebra are found here in Mississippi and other states....and yes I know sharks do not have bones...these vertebra were fossilized by a process known as ossification of cartilage....see there now I taught you something today.

Read my whole reply...There I 3xplain to you what is happening here...
If I didn't know what I was talking about.,then I wouldn't put it on here and teach people what I didn't know to be true... I learned this years ago from the state anthropologist as well as my states geologist and curator of the state museum of natural history....imagine telling them they are wrong.

I'm pretty sure there are two points in the frame when you found the second point.
There's a lot of things in those creeks that look like points....especially looking through a camera...my vantage point is way better and my eyes are well trained
at 2:17 is that a point just above the one you found? Same color too.
Man, we miss seeing your posts
Are these mostly knife points?
Yes that is correct...thanks for commenting
What kind of button was that? The last point you found, right below your hand.
I believe that is one of the tiny freshwater clam shells that are prevalent in the area
Man those people must have been nonstop waring
People are misled that Indians were always at war....archaic peoples were all about survival...these are utilitarian knives and were not shot with a bow and arrow...thanks for commenting

You both are so interesting g. Do you sell them or keep them for a museum. Where are you located in Mississippi? I love your channel ❤patsy😅
