    Hey, great info, you covered it really well! Biggest thing I would stress is that before you go into a field, be sure to get permission! There are some good apps out that will show you property lines and ownership info, I use them to get metal detecting permissions all the time. Keep up the good work 👍

      Youre bot the only one who noticed that un. I saw it while editing 😂 that shot was really over exposed so the stones are super bright which might be why it looks like that. Who knows maybe I really did miss one. Most points around here wont be shaped like Missouri ones though.

    Haven't finished all your video yet but it is so helpful! I'm going to Ashville North Carolina in a few days and we're staying on the French Broad River which is the third oldest rivers in the world. Hope I can find some! I also have a metal detector, so do Native Americans use metal tools at all? Thanks in advance.

    • @eastcoastlithics

      Twards Michigan you have natural copper deposits. They would take the raw copper and cold hammer them into points, tools, and jewelry. A lot of it was traded some distance and even into Georgia at some point. Usually you wont find it anywhere outside Wisconsin and that area. Stone and bone was used exclusively everywhere else. When the British and French came about in the 1600s they would trade metal triangles cut out of copper or brass kettles (called kettle points) and they can be found all over the east coast usually. North Carolina is absolutely full of points and native sites. Ashville is close to Tennessee which has a lot of flint and is known for it’s crazy points that come outta there. Youll have some luck there on the rivers if you know how to look the banks 💪🏻
      Good luck and hope I answered your question. Let me know if you find anything!

      1. Brush your teeth
      2. Probably use deodorant too
      3. Talk to her- if she reciprocates continue talking
      4. Be kind and chivalrous
      5. Ask her on a date (choose something within her interest)
      6. If she says no do not pass go and do not collect $200

      Yeah bro I was just in that area for a show and hunted a little. There are definitely fields out there with stuff in em but people just don’t plow like they used to. If farmers go back to tilling you would find 4 points every time you went out. My best advice is to keep looking high flat disturbed ground near water or in the gravel bars in the creeks below those areas. Trust me when I say this you will find a point when you are about to give up or at your lowest. Keep looking! Also a lot of people will say spots are picked put but realistically you can never overhunt a field or creek. New things pop out every time it rains 👍🏻
