      Just gotta keep looking. Sometime that could be all the site has, but I highly doubt that. Keep looking.

      Well, my friend, as some of the others who have replied to you have already mentioned, if you're finding those kinds of things in your creek then you are probably in a good spot. You just have to maintain patience and keep perservering and I bet you'll start finding them over time. Don't give up! It took me almost 6 months to find my first whole point. Try searching after big rain falls have washed through the creek. Creek hunting is going to be a little bit different than the river hunting I do and, I have to be honest here, I have very little creek experience. I pinned your comment so hopefully more people who are more experienced in creeks than I will offer you more tips and advice. Other than that, keep watching youtube. There are a LOT of great creek hunting channels. If you're not already familiar, check out HawkingLithics, theditchwalker, and Heartbreaker Relics. They all do a lot of creek walking. I've learned a lot from all of them about creek hunting even though I don't often search creeks. theditchwalker especially drops some real wisdom on creek hunting (if you pay attention) and he uses different techniques. No two creeks are alike either so keep exploring. I hope this helps some!

      @enovilt935 it's all the matter of seeing the right shapes. Color helps, but shape is super important. Pickup or flip over ever possible piece. Keep a stick with a pointy end to flip rocks so you don't have to Bend over. A wooden pole from the hardware store with a 3/16 rod drove in the end is what I use. Or a better description would be a trash picker upper stick

    Nice to see ya land a birdie, I like to call em “bleeder points”, meant to deeply penetrate its intended target, likely very large hopefully deer and not human, that would hurt😎😎😎

      @meandmyshadow6269  2 місяці тому

      I like your "bleeder" term. Pretty cool. I always wonder if any of the points I've found were used in war. You never know. Kind of morbid I suppose but after you find enough of them you start to kind of wonder about those odds 😬

    Washita, unless that notch is intentional, then it's a Harrell, but both are same culture. Those are what come out of the same camps as Harahey knives.
