I've been hooked on your videos for a couple weeks now and subscribed to your channel. I discovered a site in the far eastern coastal plain of NC a little over a year ago and have dug over 90 broken and unbroken points there. It's just a wind-blown sand dune in the back of a farm field that is about 4-5ft higher than the rest of the field. Went up there metal detecting one day and saw flakes all over the place and within ten minutes found my first point, which was a Guilford. I was hooked! The only thing I really envy about your site is the quality of the materials the ancients used out there. It's all so beautiful. Where I live, there are absolutely no natural rocks so when you find a stone you know it had to be brought there by someone. Most the points I find are made of Rhyolite, tuff, and quartz. I've only found a few that were made from actual chert. I'd be so happy to find some larger points like the points hanging in cases on your wall. The biggest thing I've dug was a 6" hand axe and the longest complete point I've found was right at about 3 and a half" long. Some of those big beauties on your wall are extraordinary! The ancients here worked a lot of small river cobble, so the larger points are pretty rare to find. If I could only find one as big as some of yours, I'd be happy as can be. God Bless you Sir and keep at it!
Thanks so much my roots are in western NC I have some quartz points from there. Most of my collection is from Florida I moved there right out of high school for work. But I grew up here in Tennessee where I’m at now. When I was able to retire I moved back. Sounds like you got a good site you’re working on. Take care brother and good luck and God bless you and your family
@@tillersartifactsappalachia1684 I took the 140 through it today, little sticky... Come on rain 🌧 !!! I'd always be excited to go back to the shelter.. Lotta work looks like, but it definitely pays off....👊Bless ya brother..✌🍀
.I am glad for your findings on this occasion my friend. Two beautiful pieces without a doubt. You can always miss something in the search, whatever it may be, digging, sifting, on the surface, but on the second inspection you can find things again. Blessings to my great friend.
Hey Tiller, the Hidden Shelter keeps giving em up. Anytime you find a pinetree is good. Sifting that dirt is tough work but it keeps paying off. Hope you get on your bucks here soon. If I don't see anything from you before Christmas. Just want to say hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas my Friend, God bless👍
I find a lot of the broken bases like the first one you found in our area. I really love the craftsmanship they put into them. I’m the same way when I choose arrowheads over backstraps 😂 I hope you get one when you go👍👍👍
Thanks y’all I hope y’all are doing good I have not seen any videos. Was actually worried about y’all. Hope to see some videos soon. Take care and good luck
The first point looks like a Stemed Kirk, a Pine Tree, and a Beaver Lake base. You're definitely on a old site, from Palio to Archaic. All you have to do is dig them up.
I live in Northwest Alabama, in my area there is a very small rock shelter completely dug out in the 1960's. In the 1980's a group of local boys dug the bank in front of front of the shelter and found 70 more arrowhead.
Thanks brother yeah I was pleased with this hunt. I enjoy my time at the bluff it’s my sanctuary of course a point or two sure makes it better lol. Take care and God bless you
Awesome finds Mr.Tiller. Toothy Pine tree for sure. Makes up for the heart breaker Paleo base. Glad to hear your back is feeling a little better brother. I feel like the Main Man might be hearing my prayers. I've been praying for all of you guys every night. My UA-cam family. LOL I'll have to pray for your Buck to be a fat one Tiller. Many blessings brother.
Hey Kevin thank you so much I do believe prayer work we might not always get what we pray for but God has a reason why. I love my UA-cam friends. I know we all have struggles but I feel blessed for every breath the good Lord gives me. You’re always in my prayers brother. I was sure happy with what I found. God bless my friend
Darn, Brother you were on the artifacts that day. I have back problems also, I was roofing my wood shed and couldn't lay flat on my afterwards. I couldn't put my head back on the floor it hurt so bad. I know how you feel. God Bless and good luck.
Hey brother I sure do appreciate your support. Yeah back problems are rough some times I can just twist wrong and mine goes out. Sure hope you’re feeling better. Take care and God bless you
Hey buddy, I seen another arrowhead in the top part of the dirt while you was showing us that one thick piece that was broken. Hope your able to find it. Go back and look at the video right before you switched from in the cave to outside. Time stamp 403 - 404. God Bless Brother Nice finds.
Thanks brother yeah I went back and looked on the video and it does look like a point. I am sifting all my dirt so maybe it will show up in the sifter. Take care and God bless you
“I’d rather find an arrowhead than get a big ole buck”, amazing what a man altered stone does for the soul, thank goodness feeding ourselves is fairly easy in today’s modern world, keep on em😎😎😎
Thanks brother yeah it’s like an addiction for me. My wife says that’s all I think about but she has been putting up with it for 38 years lol. Take care and good luck
Congratulations Tiller, couple of smokers. I feel the same way about the deer hunting, I would rather find a Arrowhead. But got to get some meat. That base looks like a Beaver Lake to me, but I'm no expert. Looking forward to seeing what you find next time. Good luck and God Bless yall....
Thanks Dave yeah I grind my own meat and I figure it saves us about $700.00 a year just in hand burger. That beaver lake would have been icing on the cake. Take care my friend God bless you
Nice saves tiller.. I still can’t believe that they are that deep!!! I don’t see how all that dirt got up in there?? That water must have flowed a ton more than it does now to deposit all that soil, of course you are talking up wards of hell 8,000 years old and who knows what was going on back then???? Just blows my mind!!! Just think of all the points that will never be found !!!!!!!!
Thanks Scott yeah I would say over 10000 years lots of debris and leaves has blown in there. And I think as there living space got so nasty they would cover there living quarters with dirt and debris to cover up the filth. Take care brother
I find it interesting that this person seems to have read some archaeological reports and tries sounding informed with point type names and talks about layers, but he is destroying, looting the site of any significant information it might have been able to provide so that he can find the shiny bits. So sad that the history of your land is being ripped out of the ground that way.
lol what ignorance,there is no missing link archaeologists have excavated many rock shelters in Tn. Same cultures eating the same animals and plants using the same materials. Most of the artifacts found by them are packed away in a back room where no one can enjoy the artifacts. You must be a Biden supporter shame on you. Thanks for the view and comment support God bless
Yes, I agree 100%. OK, to find what's on the surface, in a creek, or washed out. Digging up is something else. If he is a trained archaeologist, then it would be different.
I’ve really been enjoying watching your videos. Wanted to let you know how thankful I am for you documenting your digs and collection of artifacts. It’s got me inspired to start doing some digging myself. I’ve recently scouted out a spot in the mountains located in Rabun county Georgia. It’s not a rock shelter but rather a granite outcrop on the top of a ridge. It’s one of the only granite outcrops on this particular mountain. It’s also located near a small ephemeral stream. From the layout of the land it looks to be an ideal place where primitive people would set up a hunting camp. Especially the way it sits on a ridge with a valley on either side and water near by. I found the spot a couple months ago while studying the area on Google Earth. Traveled out there last week. Takes about an hour to hike up to the spot because it’s completely off trail in the middle of nowhere. From the looks of it I’m the only one who’s been to this spot in probably 100 + years. Absolutely no evidence of anyone else excavating it for artifacts. Within a few hours of poking around the area I found three scraper tools and some flakes! As well, I noticed on some of the granite outcrop there was a couple spots that were rubbed smooth like tools were being sharpened on the large rocks. I was wondering if you or anyone you’re aware of has ever dug around a spot similar to this? Where there was no shelter or overhang, just a granite slab in the forest. The reason I ask is because I’m wondering if you think it would be worth while to haul up a shovel and sifter and excavate the area? I would appreciate any advice you could provide.
Thanks brother I sure am glad you enjoy an ol hick like me digging in the dirt lol. It sounds like you may have stumbled across a camp site. I personally have never dug a spot like that but know of some that have. If you found some material and chipped pieces I would definitely do some digging. Just check your laws and if it’s state land I would not dig. Would love to know how you do take care and good luck God bless
Nice the first one you found in the sifter crazy cool , good trip lots of nice finds , thanks

A couple of nice recoveries buddy
Thank you I was definitely happy with em. Take care and good luck
Wow what a goresous pine tree other points are nice also,you find something about about every time you go. Keep plugging away.
Thanks Billy yeah I have been blessed to have such a good spot to hunt. Take care
The pine tree is beautiful, almost perfect! You got two nice ones that round. That piece of pottery is interesting as well! Take care and Gold bless!
Thanks brother yeah I was pleased with what I found. Just wish the beaver lake would have been complete. Take care and God bless you
The first point looks like a Stemed Kirk, a Pine Tree, and a Beaver Lake base. You're definitely on a old site, from Palio to Archaic. All you have to do is dig them up.
Thanks brother that’s two broken beaver lake I’ve found. Just a matter of time till I bust out a good paleo point. Take care

Yeah I’ve found a lot of artifacts in front of shelters. I think the old timers never dug in front much.
Yeah, those would be day makers for most folks.Really enjoy the corner/side notchers.I like those Kirk Stemmed too.
Thanks brother yeah I was pleased with this hunt. I enjoy my time at the bluff it’s my sanctuary of course a point or two sure makes it better lol. Take care and God bless you

Both are pinetrees. Nice finds brother. Keep at em.
Thanks brother z I was thinking the steamed point was a Kirk. I know the pine tree and Kirk’s were related. Take care and good luck
It's probably not, but at 4:04 it sure looks like one in the wall above that root or whatever it is.
I saw the same.
I looked and you’re right it does look like a point. If it was I will find it when I sift the dirt. Sure do appreciate your support.
