Stone Tools Everywhere : Return To The Indian Camp On The Washed Out River Bend

  • While out exploring the river some time ago I discovered a riverbank that was being eroded by flooding. Spread out beneath the bank were some very beautiful quartz arrowheads and other stone tools. In this video, I return to the site with a small sifter and scoop up the gravel and stones just beneath the surface of the water and I can't believe what I find in just over an hour of sifting.
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
    metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

    Mr. Chigg... You mentioned that there could be a good amount of artifacts a bit deeper in the mud. Being located in the northeast, you should have access to a clam rake. That could make it easier to scrape deeper into the mud and find whatever may be waiting for The Chigg to release from their imprisonment. You are always coming up with different tools and gadgets to enhance your explorations, perhaps this will help too.

    Wow chigg, you really found an awesome native site/camp. And an old one. Some of those points looked to be archaic in nature. 5-10,000 thousand years old. There could have been an Indian camp there at one time as well. I did see some hematite rocks in your video. That were red in color. An they looked to be flat on the sides from where the would rub them down (facets) to a powder to make there face paint or dyes /colors for what ever they were putting it on or making something colorful. Congrats on all your finds so far. An that's just the beginning. I've came across sites like this before. Your going to find lots of artifacts/pottery. Especially when you start getting down in the clay/dirt layers in the water. A shovel an a sifter an then its game on. I just take my shovel an start going down about 2-3 inches kind of like skimming the layers of clay/dirt/sedament in the water. At about a foot from the bank, in the water, working back towards the bank. I'm sure you probably already know this. Just throwing it out there. I find lots of artifacts/points with this technique. Once again congrats on your finds, can't wait to see what all you find when you go back. So far the points you have found are amazing. Awesome video.Good luck on your next hunt. As always safe and happy hunting/ digging/sifting. 😁👍👍

    It's amazing that sometimes when you find a knife blade or spear or arrow point, how, after thousands of years, they can still cut the beejeebers out of you! When I built my house in the forest, near a creek, when we first had the underbrush on our acreage cleared with a bulldozer, I could sometimes find 5 - 10 artifacts for every hour I searched. Eventually, they became harder and harder to find. And natural caches in creeks are an awesome place to find stuff! To think the last person to touch such an item was an ancient Indian - well, it still gives me a huge chill!

  • @aserta

    Considering the sheer density, this has to be a 'factory' spot. They'd gather around the fire, do their thing and chip away at things. One thing that makes me think this might be the case is the fact that there's a lot of fresh cuts. Usually, if you find a big spot like this, they're worn out, broken, and you're in a trash pit (or the equivalent). These might've even been lesson chips.

    I've been collecting Native artifacts most of my 73 years and must say I'm very envious of the honey hole you've found. Some of those points appear to be paleo & possibly over 10,000 years old. If you haven't already done so, I might suggest you acquire a copy of the Overstreet Guide to Indian Arrowhead Identification book. It'll help you ID what you've found. That book will also give you an idea of what the monetary value is of what you're finding & with that in mind, I might also suggest (as others have) that you remove the larger rocks from your sifter before you shake it. The first time you break one of those extremely rare, beautiful paleo points rolling it around with a bunch of big rocks and changing the value of it from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred, you're going to cry alligator tears (so will the rest of us if you video it). They are extremely fragile. Thanks for sharing-the video causes me to salivate all over my keyboard though. You're a lucky guy!

They're cool to find and collect, but anyone trying to profit from finding artifacts is the lowest form of life on this planet. Putting a price tag on them is extremely wrong. I have had offers for my collection but I sourly refused every offer because I know it wouldn't be right.

Which just may lead that person to feel as you do. But having not known the value they would be more careless and ignorant of the true value of the artifact. I commend you on your viewpoint unfortunately not all think this way. The poster who you replied too had an excellent suggestion also. Not only does Overstreet have monetary values but most importantly information about age, location, and time period and physical characteristics that are important on the age. Much can be learned.

    Chig, where was the white quartz drill in the round-up at the end of the video? You need to put each piece you find in a container instead of just throwing them up onto the bank. I noticed you’d also empty the sifter, filled with heavy rocks almost on top of your best finds! Please be more careful or you’ll break your good finds! Your enthusiasm gets the best of you and I believe this is why you overlook and leave some of your best finds behind. Slow down and please put your best finds away safely before you go digging and sifting again. You would if it were a Civil War piece.

And I’m positive I’m not the only one who thinks this based on ur numbers LOL wish more people did it like this because I enjoy watching these types of videos. I have to look up your tv show.

    Awesome finds dude. There's one sure fire way to see if that's a weir. Carefully dig down beside the sticks. They'll be down in the clay pan half a foot or more. If they have been sharpened it for sure is. I found one on the Ohio river that had at least 75 stakes but I could only see them as I dug down sifting for artifacts.👍☮️

    @michaelmcguire5338 2 роки тому +3

    A tip for sandy banks. A gas powered leaf blower. Blow the sand away to find stuff. Take a garden rake and gently drag it across the sand to help free things up then blow over it. Also, being on a river you should slow down on your sifting and look at larger stones closer. They could be plummets or other things. There is also a possibility to find bone fish hooks but you can miss that stuff sorting through so quick.

  • @thotpatroll5729
    @thotpatroll5729 2 роки тому +2

    I'd be careful sorting through those rocks barehanded. Once, along an Arizona stream I collected a few arrowheads, crafted from quartz I believe. As I was walking and looking for more, I started shaking the arrowheads in my hand as if they were dice. Big mistake. After a few minutes, my hand felt wet and it was, due to blood from multiple cuts by the razor edges of one of the points. Lesson learned. Side note, even today some scalpels, designed for heart or nerve surgery, are made from quartz for the reason that it is able to cut BETWEEN cells and not tear them like other materials.

    • @kuwahi
      @kuwahi 2 роки тому

      Since there is great controversy with some archaeologists clinging to previous conceptions of native habitation, a relatively untouched site could bring more information to tell more of the story. I have been learning that there are many tools other than arrowheads that we may just pass over. Really encourage you to have this one checked out. There may be layers of occupation there.

    i think you hit the nail on the head. i mentioned on the last video that it looked like this is the actual spot where the activity happened and not just a low pressure area where the artifacts settled. they probably utilized the water clarity and threw down on top of the fish resulting in all those broken points left in situ. a lot out deeper probably went downstream to find bedrock cracks but that little turn with all the mud and silt caught and held a lot of it. i was going to ask you if you saw any rock piles that looked human made nearby to confirm it.
