    Great to see someone so young enjoying what I've done for decades. You are very knowledgeable. That jasper is very pretty stone. And that absolutely looks like a quartz tip that you found. Nice video.

    That mustard colored jasper is typical of what's in Vera Cruz Pa. There's a park called Jasper Park there- you can't collect, but its where the native Americans quarried.

    Nice video, thanks. I always try to follow even those tiny little feeder creeks all the way up to the end. Often that’s where really good stuff can be found.

    I used to find quartz arrowheads in Exton off malin road and ship road in the farm fields.

    9:18 archaeologists in the northeast have found that MOST flakes were used even if they don’t look like they were. Almost everything you find is a tool.
    Congrats. I’d flip if I found flakes like that

  • @BearlyOutdoors
    @BearlyOutdoors 7 місяців тому +6

    @7:24 most definitely a tool. When I was young I must have picked up a hundred blades and tools and threw them back down thinking it was nothing because it was not an arrowhead! Just a small tid bit of advice from an old man...Keep everything, most especially the stuff that "might could be." @2:27 Tip of arrowhead @14:20 knife (Would have been hafted.) Keep up the great work!

    Remember that song about looking for love in the wrong places. Thats you. Looking for arrowheads in the wrong places.. Any native settlements in your area would be relatively small (50-100), recent, and nomadic. The best places to look are in Missouri and Tennessee and south. In warmer climates native settlements were much, much larger, and somewhat permanent. Find a good creek in Arkansas and you will 100 arrowheads in the same amount of searching time. You cant even find one arrowhead. Start looking in the right places.

    • @bruceleez5292
      @bruceleez5292 4 місяці тому

      False. The perkiomem was settled for thousands of years. It was a highway as well as settled. It may not be loaded like other places but they are certainly there in the perk.
