    I find very similar points types like you are finding im in the N.C. Foothills I have found some amazing things over the years. I have been hunting artifacts around 47 years and have enjoyed every step I took looking and exploring

    Super great finds!! Loved the live find- that is a killer. We did not get any plowed fields this year to walk 😢 but it was fun to watch you find some of the same types of points we normally find. Great video- thanks for bringing us along on your adventures.

    Nice hunt. The same toolkit and material usage extends down into Dekalb County Ga. Quartz and diabase points mostly from the Old Quartz Culture, middle Archaic into early Woodland period. This culture lasted for around 4000 years. The climate was different then being very wet at times and the animal fauna also.

    • @ridgeraider1
      @ridgeraider1  6 місяців тому

      Yes very different climate imho.. do you find very much Chert down that way?

    • @robertporch8895
      @robertporch8895 6 місяців тому

      We find chert too mainly in the Woodland sites. Of course some overlap from different periods. The Woodland and very late Archaic are located near water, rivers and creeks. There's quartz usage there too. It's the old stuff that I find up on hilltops away from the water, the Guilford and Morrow Mountain. The Savannah River points are found in both. Supposedly during the Archaic it was much wetter. The rivers and creeks were higher so they camped up away from it. During the Woodland, chert was traded in from the Coastal Plain, Tennessee and North Alabama. Rhyolite from North Carolina. We have very large outcrops of diabase in this area especially North of Lithonia Ga. in Dekalb and Qwinnett County. The Deptford site at Tabor Bluff had a trade network established in the Tampa Bay area. This is known by the pottery style discovered at Tabor Bluff and confirmed by Lloyd Schroeder.

    I never found points sticking out of the dirt like that. The only points I find on the surface in a plowed field are stained red and usually barely sticking out of a dirt clod. 9 out of 10 times there is no point, but a sharp stone. You are really lucky!!!

    I moved to Todd NC in 2020. Live real close to the New River. Brand new to this stuff. Do you think that a good place to hunt? It’s the oldest river in America.

    I've found many of those little points in Southeast Dekalb County Ga. Not completely sure what they used them for. Anything from arrow points to engraving tips or for cutting designs for tattoos. It's possible to put a row of them in a curved or straight piece of wood to use as a sickle or weapon.

    • @ridgeraider1
      @ridgeraider1  6 місяців тому
