- Quick look at my collection from artifact hunting on-and-off for over 20 years. The best stuff is at 08:28 and there is bonus hardstone at the end. Sorry I went fast on some of these.
Super nice collection of South Eastern artifacts CA. Nice variety of transitional paleo through woodland points. Saw several Hardaway and Palmer points. Nice to see Guilford, Morrow Mountain, and Savanna River points down there as well. I noticed a few true flint points. I almost never find flint up here. Most of our stuff up here in N.C. is rhyolite and slate, and a little quartz. Thanks for the tour bud....Mike
Sweet displays!
wow Mr, Jeff that is one super fine collection of points. a lot of good times and hard work and walking in them frames, thanks for the show. Billie thetnrelichunter
Nice stuff bud, Thanks for taking the time and sharing.RR
Some neat shapes
It is a pleasure seeing your finds. Very cool material and different types of points that we find in Missouri. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet, we find more colorful flint here around savanna river sight areas, more or less the same types. Nice video, thanks.
Looking Good!
You got a lot of quartz up there like I have where I'm at. Nice collection that you've found.
Nice collection!!!
My goodness! I have been late catching up and doing my homework with many collectors! I have been moving forward since 2011! There you are having collected already 20 years then!!!
LOL, I bet your collection is bigger than mine already, even thought I've added a lot to mine since this video was made. There are a few nice ones here, but lack the quality you find over your way. I still have each and every one. Big fan of your videos and I have your 1st (artifact) book.
That’s a great collection man. I’ve only been back in the United States for a few years now. I haven’t really begun to collect a lot of stuff yet and what I have found is really big and chunky and looks to be very old. Things like scrapers, large points, and the other day I found what looks like a small cleaver or natural backed knife. I found another one a few days later that was even bigger. At this point because I don’t even know how old these suckers are I’m gonna have to get an archaeologist involved because stuff I’m finding looks too old. I have found lots of broken points and waste lakes so it looks like where I’m finding my stuff was a hunters camp or a place where the Indians made their tools. I live in northern South Carolina near the Catawba river. That is a mighty fine collection sir.
hey man thanks 4 sharing ur collection,alot of really nice finds,I find it strange that Coastal Plains chert rairly ever make it that far north,,here in central SC along the Savannah River chert is more avaliable,thanks to allendale chert quarries,,thanks again 4 taking the time & effort to show us what you have found in ur neck of the woods.
central as in Clemson area?
Really enjoyed looking at your collection. Makes me anxious for spring so I can start looking in our garden again. I put my small collection on UA-cam the other day. If you get the chance you can go over and look at it. I've found 99% of mine in our small garden spot. Mine are mostly black flint but also have light beige ones with red streaks. I love searching for them. And I found a cup-stone too.
@NCHEADHUNTERS Thanks for your comments Mike. Yeah we do find some flint and that makes em more special. We find very little slate here and only a little chert. Think it's interesting how indians in different parts of the country had to use what materials were found in their area.
Hey CA , Thanks for the tour of your collection. Shows a lot of dedication.You're like me in that a piece does not have to be perfect to like it alot! I do seriously disagree with one statment you made. The "too small to be a paleo " thing is maybe a general guide line for the Piedmont environs, it is by no means an absolute law. Even in N & S Carolina, some folks made TINY clovis & other paleo points.I saw a PERFECT clovis found out of totally clear as glass quartz crystal. Will PS you more.
Hey Jeff, thanks for sharing your collection with us. Nice points, great memories, good times. Good luck in all your hunts to come.
@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER Thanks for the nice comments. Yeah it's interesting that you find very simular stuff in your area kinda far away. When I get to hunt areas away from home notice a big difference in material and knapping quality.
What an amazing collection!!! LOL, if it weren't for brokes, I wouldn't have any cases filled up :) That red crystal point is beautiful! Those crystal points are amazing! That is a crazy bevel on that one! That is a big ole piece of flint, very awesome point! That celt is KILLER! Thanks for sharing :)
Jeff, those are round based Guilfords, nice ones, too. At 13:20 the small round rock is a rare item. I believe it is a core from a bannerstone hole. Native brothers used sand and
water/grease as the cutting agent; and, a reed spun by a bow (perhaps by hand). As the reed passed through the stone, the core of the hole passed through the reed. When the hole was finished, your "little black rock" was in the center of the reed and discarded. Great eye to see that! Obviously, Pestleman to confirm....
Very nice
Thanks Steve, hope everything around home is going well. Sure was fun finding these points over the years. It's been a great hobby and looking forward to getting back to it when I get home. Later
Carolina arrowheads what county are you from I am from Iredell County I haven't haunted in years but I got a small collection myself about 13-14 years ago I found a clay pipe on a creek it is perfect
@SCBladeHunter It may be a Dalton with that concave base. Just a crude one.
I've been hunting in SC for five years now sine I was 16 I live close to the Savannah river on a creek
It's amazing how much your artifacts are so simular to what we find here in St,Clair and Talladega counties . You can go 75 miles in any direction from where I live and the material they use changes drastically . You have an awesome collection , I enjoyed watching every second of it .
Thanks.
AWESOME ARTIFACT COLLECTION MR. JEFF, THANK YOU FOR SHARING U'RE UNIQUE AWESOME COLLECTION,APPRECIATE IT.
I also think ive found a broke maul and would like your advice on some quartz drills Ive found also
Thanks so much for showing you thoughts through your finds.
Nice comment. Thanks very much for watching! I like your channel and subbed for updates. Good luck out there. (Sorry for the late reply.)
What a nice collection you have there CA... Something to be very proud of... Thanx for sharing it with us... B.C.
Very nice collection! Thanks for taking the time to show us fellow arrowhead hunters. Love all of them quartz points.
You have a great collection, I love the show and tell. Hope to see some more from you soon. Mark Martin Defuniak Springs Fl
Fabulous collection. I hunt a lot in the sandhills.
@ 7:00.....the answer to your question is indeed paleo/late a heartbreaking TN Quad made from Fort Payne... about as rare as Clovis these days. They probably existed around with the early Daltons and such. Just my guess.
@SCBladeHunter. We do find a little chert but is kinda low quality except for a few pieces.
Nice stuff! Ohio has many of the styles & materials you show here. I've been picking them up for over 50yrs&still like looking at them& pondering on em. We have plenty of various stone tools as well. (celts,axes,hammerstones,pestles,banded slate pendants& gorgets still turn up in fields or along riverbanks& creeks every year)
Good Finds ! It is hard down here in Sc to find great points !
@SnyderPointMan. LOL. Yeah every point has a story. But you do recall stuff from when you found special ones.
Very nice collection , great finds .
Just imagine if they could talk , all of these years just lying around .
At the time those were the cutting edge of technology ,
Now we send people to outer space & split atoms .
Lol 👍
Thanks for sharing great collection!
Thank you for the nice comment. I had to work hard for each and every one of them. Good luck! (Sorry for the late reply.)
Nice collection. But,man o man those poor guys had crap for knapping material. I am amazed at what they did with what they had. Tremendous skill. Thanks for showing your stuff.
thanks for showin your collection, really neat to see, your material is so different than ours here in missouri.
lots of neat stuff
looks like hours of fun huntin
Nice collection. I have just started my collection. It's been less then a year. Thanks for showing.
Very nice collection, C.A.! So much different than what we find here! Thanks for showing and good luck on your next hunt =)
Thanks so much for sharing - you have a very interesting collection. I live in the Blythewood, SC area. Vast majority of points I've found are white quartz - look much like many of yours. I'm near Cedar Creek. My understanding is the most recent native people's followed the game trails along the creek systems here. Finding pottery is rare. Have found quite a few axe heads and a couple of very nice knives. A club. Things I don't know what they are. I sure wish I knew how to date them.
Nice!!!
Nice
Great video CA!! We are still rookies (first find was in March) so it is really cool to see your collection. Being that we basically find the same stuff, I always look forward to your videos and this one was a great surprize! You have some really nice stuff! I will agree with Pestleman on paleo points only because of the Paint rock points Ty and I found, they are trans paleo and mine is futed. They are both only 1 1/4 inches long, so you never know.
Thanks for posting
Ga. Rob, Terrie and Ty
At 609 tbag looks a bit like a flute..just a thought
funny how you can remember when and where and what the weather was like the day you found certain points. well, very nice collection buddy, keep on looking and postin, a lot of years of fun.
that is a lot of good looking stuff Jeff hope you are doing well on the trail looks like we might get rained out in pickens tomorrow.....Stay Dry and keep well Stephen
Awesome finds my friend. What part of SC are you finding these amazing native artifacts? I'm in York county, SC in upstate.
thanks I enjoy seeing collections like yours
Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome collection, love those SR's, MMs' and of course those Hardaway's!!!!!!! Very cool to see what people find in different parts of the country!!! I hear your enthusiasim from your twenty years of looking!! Good luck for the next twenty!!!
Be careful on those lakes with that canoe, lol!!! Better learn how to swim!!!
By the way.. Just added this to our favorites!!
Ga Rob

Keep Up the Great Huntn
BORN 10,000 YR's TO LATE
Those are awesome! Arrowhead hunting is a new hobby for me and I really enjoy it. I've been doing it for about a year and have found lots of broken ones and a lot of really crude, primitive ones made from quartz. Quartz seems to outnumber flint 200 to 1 in Wake County, NC. It sounds like I need to do some creek hunting instead of just field hunting like I do now.
At 3:33 looks like a broken Dalton.
Nice collection! Thanks for showing.
Very nice collection. We find them here in NC.
NC has some nice stuff! Thanks for watching!
Yes. Always appreciate how long it takes to find that many.
@greatbasinman, Thanks, I can float alittle and hope to learn to swim so I can do some snorkel diving next summer. But arrowhead hunting has been a big part of my life like all of us on here.
Are you a member at arrowology I live in Lexington SC and would like to share a pic of a beautiful morrow mountian beveled made from quartz. Its the width of my hand and very well made found on lake murray SC
@rbeneveds. Thanks Rob, always look forward to your videos as well. Please keep in mind that I did not hunt wide-open the whole 20+ years. Hit it hard the first 5 years or so then had a few years where I would just hit a few clear-cuts. Back at it now but just don't have the village sites where I may find 10+ points a hunt. Your crew has a lot more sets of eyes so you all could find a bunch more!
Nice collection and video! Thanks!!
Where do you recommend for a newbie arrowhead fan to start?
hey brother awesome collection some killer pieces of flint!!
@pestleman1951. Thanks Gary! You are rights, I've seen some other Paleo or Trans points from our area that are very small. The clear quartz crystal point is the holy grail for us in the Carolinas and GA.
@richardsrockhouse. Thanks Richard! That means a lot. Yeah it is interesting to see how different the materials, size, quality, and styles are in different parts of the country. I'm hoping some Ozark indians came to SC to visit and left some artifacts for me to find!
WOW!!!!!
I just realized a lot of these resemble some shark teeth. Makes me wonder how well a shark tooth would work as an arrowhead.
Whats the 2 holes one?
@mbrooksy1970 Thanks Mike! That means alot. Yes every piece is special and am thankful for every one.
How many arrowheads have you found in one day of hunting for them? I watch a lot of these UA-camrs finding a lot of them in one videos and it’s just hard to believe. One of the UA-camrs already messed up and everyone knows he now plants them and acts like he finds them for video purposes.
I have a log book you need to see when we get a chance to talk again you will love it
All kinds of good info
Great collection. I like your attitude on imperfect points! I show em all. I live in PA, hunt AH primarily in WV. Your points are white - mine are black and gray. Bought a jar of NC? points and junk in Charlotte this weekend. They look much like your collection. Having a heck of a time id lithics. Would you know of a source for IDing NC or SC lithics?
nice collection keep hunting
@catsupist Heck I work just as hard for the broke ones so I put em in the cases too.
@mbajr2010 Sorry to offend you - I don't dig, never had. I surface hunt lakes and farmers fields that have been disturbed long ago. I have alot of respect for Native Americans and am part indian myself.
last frame, just above the gorget, looks like a clovis, i subbed ya
awesome!
Thank you, I'm proud of them but other areas seem to have much larger and better made artifacts. (Sorry for the late reply.)
im not sure if youd be allowed to own those arrow heads in this country ,youd have to give them to the state musem
Our state works very well with local collections. I've been to the state museum in Columbia and the nice people there were excited to teach me and my friends all about the Indians that lived here and how old the artifacts were. They took photos of a few of the Paleos and are recorded in the archives there. If they kept them - they would be stored away in a box down in the basement and no one would ever see them again. Through this video, we can all admire their handcrafted quality and learn more and respect those who left them. (Sorry for the late reply.)
We don't find as much Quartz work in Ohio.
