I found a 6 inch spear point in perfect condition in a creek in Tennessee. I had it dated and it's between 4 to 6 thousand years old. It's the coolest thing that I have ever found.
Ok..dumb question. How do you date a piece of flint stone? There is nothing to carbon date and no DNA. Just curious. I have found really nice flint arrowheads on the rock islands that are on our lake but I never knew you could date them.
@@randyrainbow6692 at the local college they have a professor that said that the type of flint that the point was made from can tell around when it was made. Good luck with you're point hunting.
That is one sweet find! Where I live in southern New Mexico I find mostly potsherds. Once in a while, I find projectile points. I hope I find something as cool as what you found.
I live in AZ and my grandfather has found many pieces of pottery, grinding stones and a hammer head of sorts! There is a lot of cool stuff out there, you just have to go and find it
@@WorkOvertimeOrElse I used to believe that projectile points and potsherds were rare, but not anymore. People find them all the time. I know of several places where one can't take a step without finding more potsherds. I never considered that people made literally countless millions of pots and arrows. They were shooting arrows all over the place while hunting and did it for 10s of thousands of years. The pots were everywhere too because they used them every day for many things. When I find a painted piece of potsherd I imagine it was a pot that had been handed down from one generation to the other. Then one day, a person was carrying their family's dinner to them in it and tripped. The person drops the pot, breaking it. They wept because their prized pot which was handed down was in ruins. The stone tools fire my imagination too. It seems to me that when I pick one up off the ground, I am probably only the second person to have ever touched it. The other person was its skillful creator. They made it, lost it, and I found it. I bet it bummed the creator of the stone tool out when they lost a tool or broke it. Look at all the time and skill involved! Have you ever tried to make a stone tool? It's not easy. It takes skill. The touch is one of the coolest things for me with stone tools and potsherds. Nobody but their creators and users touched them for perhaps thousands of years. People just like you and me had their hands on them. Now I have my hands on them. I touch where they touched. They live on through us.
Interesting how every other rock in the stream bed, no matter what kind of stone it's made of, has the exact same natural stream coating on it. This, "find", doesn't.
Great find imagine the earth that the maker of this blade knew everyday. Did he hunt mastodon, sabertooth or endless migration of Buffalo? 🐃 Did the flocks of ibis, water fowl and crains blot the sun with number uncalculated by sheer number?
The time it took to make that is probably equivalent to the time it took to find. Whole 🤯! If you've ever tried to knap something this narrow you know! Excellent 👍
@@gettintothapoint9769 that makes sense. Arrowheads are always that same similar material. I don't know what type of rock it is but it is similar to glass. Can you take arrowheads and stuff like that if found where you live? In my state you can not unless it is private property where it is found and even then it still might be illegal to take it.
Damn don’t people fish and wade the river Shit I find tools on the side of the road and found lures while walking the river but muting that sweet Awesome
@@rickymcguire9084 Will you see Ricky, A long time ago the Indians relied on the Creeks for their water so therefore they lived close to the water mini creeks and sites all up and down them you just have to look for him this time is after a good rainfall thanks for your comment
@@gettintothapoint9769 thank you fore the insight their is a artisian soring in front of my grand mother's it flows from center if 4 big rocks I also ask is flint Easter to finde in creeks or what ?
In that condition after being washed around in a creek? BS. Looks like a cave or old field find. You can't fool this ole country boy. Nice Adena though. 😆
Look at the rocks full of musk or whatever you call it, your find look like clean out of the gift shop case. At least put some dirt on it and make a little effort to find it, not just walk to it.
These people, think everyone is stupid. That thing wouldn’t be just under a rock and so clean. It would be wedged in by sand, dirt and whatever else comes down the stream naturally. Too many of these vids wasting peoples time.

One of many perks to walking around outdoors with a keen eye. Awesome
LOL!! There it was...right where you put it! Amazing!!😆

I bet New Mexico has some awe some history. Hey man thank you for watching 🙏🏼. And may your journey forward be blessed with awesome relics.

I noticed that. Odd isn’t it. 🤨
It's been sitting right on top like that since when?
@@seanp9157 since it rained he said. Still don’t get how it’s so clean. Notice it left NO DIRT on his hand. Hmm 🧐
I have found agates that doesn’t have much mud on them look like flint which is a quartz relative.
The moving of the stream washed it.
Réjouissant! Merci pour le partage!
I live in north Florida and have made some good finds myself. I own a tree business and have come across a few things taking down some old trees.
absolutely nutty. Hope you keep getting good finds captain!
Wow very nice 👌 👏
The banks n creek r prob loaded with artifacts. If there's spears points there's arrowheads n mor. Pottery n tools. Great find
Sweet!
Lucky you!
Congrats, man. 👍
Oh my God, thats amazing brother, man thats cool.
Great find imagine the earth that the maker of this blade knew everyday.
Did he hunt mastodon, sabertooth or endless migration of Buffalo? 🐃
Did the flocks of ibis, water fowl and crains blot the sun with number uncalculated by sheer number?
Good lines, nostalgic
Stayed right on top, exposed for hundreds, thousands of years?
Why doesn’t it have algae on it like all the rocks around it? Has it been tampered with?
Not that I’m aware of they get washed out of the banks After a hard rain algae don’t grow in banks
@@gettintothapoint9769 cool, thnx for the info. Appreciate your explanation
The time it took to make that is probably equivalent to the time it took to find. Whole 🤯! If you've ever tried to knap something this narrow you know! Excellent 👍
WOW! The the color and quality
It looks clean. Planted?
Wow!! I'm impressed!!
That is amazing that all the rocks around it seem to be covered in sediment and that piece was not. It was sticking out like a sore thumb.
Yeah that's how it goes. The clay rocks tend to hold sediment while the flint tends to stain. Crazy......
@@gettintothapoint9769 that makes sense. Arrowheads are always that same similar material. I don't know what type of rock it is but it is similar to glass.

Beautiful!
awesome point.
Very cool
I don't think I'd buy a used car from this guy...
You couldn’t afford my car.
That things beautiful. Good eyes picking that up
There's a bunch of kids rolling on the floor with their hands on their stomachs giggling saying " look look he found it he thinks its real " !
Yea that's definitely what must have happened! What a drip!!
@@seanp9157 You know I was just making fun , its probably the real deal !
we all know it is the real deal
@@eliserose2547 Except for the kids ?
Looks planted. Definitely didn't look like it's been there as long as everything else
WOW , THATS A GOODIE AND PERFECT CONDITION TOO !! LUCKY !!
That's a cool find
That was used for hunting mammoths or any other large animals great fine mate cool
Nice
Fairly certain that's a pencil drill not an arrowhead. Awesome find though.
Great find.
Nice!
Lucky you, great find indeed.
Hell yeah son, I'm right down the road from lee county 👍
do you think it was a spear head used for fishin..? great find and thumbs up from Lake George, NY
*”killshot! killshot! killshot!” 🏹 🎯 - MELL DUNEY 616*
Wow! Is that jasper? Sure does stand out from the rest of the gravel
Damn it man ,,good job
WOW ! That is F'en good man !
Drill is nice
Pretty sure it's a drill but could be wrong
Damn don’t people fish and wade the river
Shit I find tools on the side of the road and found lures while walking the river but muting that sweet
Awesome
Wow that is amazing
Sounds like Ernest. Nice find though
Nodena spike.
HOW COOL
Prepared core. Flake supply.
Ya got to the point today!
So nice, artifact indeed, congrats 😎😎😎
Thank you very much!!
Hey man I am new at arrow head hunting plowed feilds I understand but why can you finde them in creeks ?
@@rickymcguire9084 Will you see Ricky, A long time ago the Indians relied on the Creeks for their water so therefore they lived close to the water mini creeks and sites all up and down them you just have to look for him this time is after a good rainfall thanks for your comment
@@gettintothapoint9769 thank you fore the insight their is a artisian soring in front of my grand mother's it flows from center if 4 big rocks I also ask is flint Easter to finde in creeks or what ?
Nice find , beautiful, how do you find out about the site locations ?
Library old Maps and just good ole leg work. Thanks for watching...
Very cool, nice find 👍
Nice find!
Too bad Ohio law is petty and we can't even touch stuff like that if found on public land.
I got spot 10-15 k years old stuff
WOW is right.
Someone give me a brief explanation as to what that thing is. I’m lost lol
That looks like a drill or awl.
In that condition after being washed around in a creek? BS. Looks like a cave or old field find. You can't fool this ole country boy. Nice Adena though. 😆
The creeks are clay bottom. They don’t bang the points around so much bb
now that was placed
Dude, that's sick!
Thanks brother…..
It's a drill for wood, bone, leather etc.
It was perfectly clean. Most likely not a find
🍻
Coolio.
What is it? I know it's prehistoric, but what it's it used for?
I’m not sure myself. Thanks for watching
It is a native american drill, they used them to drill holes in shells, bone, wood and even pottery among other things. Awesome find!
I put that there boy that down the street from my house ..but u get credit for it ...that's ok no negative energy here ..but all that matters is truth
Strange
Smoker forsure
Look at the rocks full of musk or whatever you call it, your find look like clean out of the gift shop case. At least put some dirt on it and make a little effort to find it, not just walk to it.
That's mine I lost it 🤥
Probably find a crocodile 🐊 🤣

You planted that
Gake n fay?
Is that an atlatl point?
What is it? Somebody help me here, is it an arrowhead?
Not an arrowhead or projectile point, its a drill. Used to drill holes in shell, bone, wood, pottery etc.
That’s cool as man. So you just go to OLD streams and look around? Can’t be man made streams maybe?
Pretty much! Key is Repetition!! After a good 2/3” of rain..
What is that..?
Fake.
Fake
Yep you guessed it.
