      ​@swamptosoundadventures8337 that law should be changed in a way that still protects archeological sites but allows people to take things that are disturbed away from original context. There is a lot of history that is lost because of the way federal laws are. If they allowed the general public to keep alluvial finds, archeologists would have access to a larger amount of info. Especially helps out as archeologists don't go to creeks to find points, they focus on the sites and digs. Water way finds are to be lost forever if you don't pick them up then and there.

    Broken or not, that second Paleo piece is still a good case worthy point. Paleo period points are very hard to come by and every one of them are worth saving and putting in your collection. People I know who have hunted arrowheads for years and have never found a Paleo period point. I have been extremely lucky in my life hunting because I have found a Clovis site with 3 complete Clovis points and several knives and tools, and I have found a couple of Clovis points as single finds, plus I have found Daltons Beaver lakes and Hardaways in my years of hunting but I believe that the rarest point of all for North Carolina was a Simpson point I found a couple years ago in southern N.C. they are usually a deep south type and not usually found as far north as N.C. but keep up the hunting bro, you are finding some great examples of stone age man in the U S A

    Another incredible film, and if it wasn't documented and shared, do you know how much less joy there would be in this world right now? Perhaps this world would be even colder, with even less lovin' going down, and less compassion....there is even a chance that this vidya might stop a crime, or inspire a kid to become a college professor when they grow up, be that special someone that has the proper venue and pulpit that actually speaks the truth gleaned from knowledge empirically gained, instead of simply teaching only what they've been allowed, that boring old story which is repeated in unison at most every university, made conform to another's ideal timeline, too convenient to just not do the work, adhere to guidelines, that given script and narrative. So....Cheers to You, Bless You, My Friend! Good Show!

    Dude, I'm a 69 yr old redneck and live where Tn, Ga and Alabama state lines meet. An arrowhead rich environment. Have found several over the years and inherited some more. One is a small hatchet that one of my ancestors attacked a handle to by splitting a small branch and inserting it in the notches in the stone and securing it with leather strips. Was wondering if you could/would possibly identify some of these arrowheads?
    If you look on Google Earth at where the Sequatchie River enters the Tennessee River on the west Bank there were two huge Indian Mounds, yeah, they didn't build em, that were the second highest east of the Mississippi with the tallest bein Pinson Mounds near Jackson, Tn. I saw them when I was goin to college.
    Sadly, many years ago the farmer who owned the land tried to doze then into the river. Maybe people were pestering him about digging there but when I asked he said "You can look all you want...where they used to be. I got tired of lookin at em and farming around em".
    "Mr Martin, sir, that's bad karma". He just laughed. Month later his tractor rolled over on him and killed him.
    I tried to get the head of the Cherokee tribe, uh, chief I suppose, interested in preserving them before that happened. No interest in dead Indians. His words. Plus like he said "we didn't build em". The casino had just arrived in Cherokee, N.C. so he had other things, cash, on his mind. Amazing that he even took time to meet me after I drove 4hrs to get there. Shuda called first.
    University of Tennessee at Chattanooga? Not interested.
    So neway, the spot has never been properly excavated. May just be mounds of shells as I live on Shellmound Rd. across the river from Nickajack Cave. My valley, The Sequatchie Valley has long history of native American occupation and even contact with DE Soto who spent enough time here looking for gold that he built a fort on an island just below Nickajack Dam. Also never excavated. During Civil War there was an important river crossing there and railroad runs/ran thru here.
    Sorry, PTSD and me get carried away sometimes.
    I have a few arrowheads that look like the clovis ones but don't know for sure.
    Oh yeah, I also know where an important Civil War battle took place, Wheeler's Raid.....never been searched. There are cannons in the river where the crossing was. Wheeler hit a union supply train headed to Chattanooga.
    Bout 10 miles below that is a cave, no one has found it again since about 1958 two teenage brothers found a blunderbuss weapon, sword and Spainish breastplate. I was 5yrs old and saw the items. They said there was more stuff but the adults couldn't find the cave. Many, including me, have searched over the years. Still virgin land but once you get there it would take another miracle to find it.
    Did a soldier of DeSotos get lost or injured? The cave is not far from a spring so had water source and view of surrounding area. Maybe they were supposed to go back for him. Maybe Indians got him at the popular spring. Sneaky.
    Take care, I'm dyin of cancer so doubt I'll be arrowhead hunting nemore. Hope my son's or grandkids keep the ones I have and the ton of other old stuff. Guns and shittt.
