7:57, gun flint without a doubt. Great find. Picked one up in Suffolk, England back in the 80's when I was stationed there. Found it behind the river wall on the Alde.
Being in Indiana and an avid arrowhead hunter myself, I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys hunting some Indiana points!! Not that there's anything wrong with Michigan points... I have also enjoyed hunting morels in Wexford County Michigan my whole life so we do have a lot in common. Keep up the good work with your videos, I truly truly enjoy them. 🙂🙂
Thank you! Much appreciated!! We definitely love looking for artifacts in the Indiana soil. I enjoy looking here as well, but it’s night and day difference in quantity for us. We have made some great friends in Indiana through the years as well. Michigan certainly has the Morels though…😃 Superb fishing too. Glad you enjoyed the video!
You guys did Great !!!! The gun flint is really cool and the bead. Hope things cool down for you guy's. thanks for sharing your adventures and many blessings to you all.
You guys had a great day! A nice variety of points and several undamaged ones. I like the wide Madison and the gunflint is a very cool find. I keep saying I'm done with the river for the year, but we keep getting more rain, so I keep filming more episodes, LOL! Happy hunting.
LOL!!! I’ve said I was done for the season too. Yet here I am still walking crop fields in the hot sun!!!🤣 Flint Fever is definitely a real thing….😬 Best of luck!!
Hey Mike Beautiful Scenery I'd love to be hunting for Arrowheads Gorgeous Field for Arrowhead Hunting 👋😃👍 I LOVE ROCK HUNTING AND ARROWHEAD HUNTING 👍😃👋♥️ Could that had been a BannerStone Artifact Addiction?
Thank you! I did actually get back there a few days after this hunt. I walked a site directly across the river and found another gun flint! It’s a French flint and will be in the next video.
Definitely has that look. Not sure if they are this far North however. It’s definitely an oldie with the heavily ground base and hafting area. Appreciate the comments!
Thank you sir! Love to hear from people all across the globe. I wonder the same things. I wish we could see who made these beautiful pieces of history. Appreciate the comment. Hope all is well.
Thanks buddy! Much appreciated! I actually got out a few days after this hunt and found another gun flint right across the river from this site. It’s a French Flint and will be on the next video.
Heck yeah y’all found some nice stuff. That definitely looks like a piece of gunflint. English gunflint. I’ve found a couple of them on native sites in my area. It’s tough going in the heat but you all pulled some nice ones. Glad you were able to find a whole one Mike.
Thank you! Yeah, I wasn’t 100% sure at first, but had a good idea that’s what it might have been. Definitely a cool find! Even better, I found another the next time out just across the river from this one!
Yes sir, any plowed/tilled field adjacent to a natural waterway. (River,Creek,Lake,Swamp,Prehistoric water sources,….ect.) Walk the higher sandy areas looking for flint flakes. Find the flint and you’ll find the artifacts. Best of luck!
Nice day hunting everyone, I think your right Mike on the gun flint, nice find. That slate piece with the groves may be the base to a large slate knife?👍🏻
Not sure on the slate piece. It’s a very interesting piece with the two notches smoothed out. Sure wish it was whole. Like many others…lol. Thanks for stopping by!
It’s definitely a big field. Makes it difficult to hit most of it before the crops get going. I’ll probably go back once the corn is taller than head high.
That’s awesome! This was the first gun flint I found. The crazy thing is I found another one a few days after this hunt directly across the river from this site. The second one is a French flint and will be in the next video.
Thank you! It definitely looks spot on to an English gun flint. Crazy thing is I found another a few days later just across the river from this one. Except it’s a French one! It’ll be on the next video.
@@artifactaddiction actually the black English flint appears very well made and never used in a gun. I assume the French one you found is amber or yellow in color.
@@artifactaddiction that’s a French flint alright….Interestingly I still shoot both the black English and amber/yellow French flints on a regular basis in my flintlock rifles. I think the French flint might be slightly superior in terms of the number of shots I get out of each gun flint.
Always brokes and more times than not the best ones are as you fully know, but to come away with some nice saves is mission accomplished, and that y'all did.Congrats
Ain’t that the truth!! I can only imagine the piles of brokes and heartbreakers you’ve collected in your spots!!! Definitely can’t complain about the whole ones we picked up. Those always make the day extra special!
That looks like Gunflint Bro 👍😃 Might have the base snapped off but it's still beautiful 👍😃 I've found an Artifact like that cut in half I've still got it to its purple in color so sad I didn't find the other half of it 😞😞
Man, you guys are on fire! Lots of nice points! I always wanted to get on a historic site like that...we don't really have many early post-contact sites around here. It looks like an English gun flint, the French ones were honey colored. There were also Dutch and Nordic gunflints, but that would be extremely rare. Of course, just because it is an English gun flint doesn't mean it had anything to with English soldiers. The settlers bought European flints for their guns, so it could have been an early American settler in the area, it could have been a British soldier, and it could have been a historic Native American since they were all using flintlocks in that era too. Pretty cool regardless.
Definitely true! All we know is that it’s an English flint found on a particular site. Sure would be amazing to peak back in time to see the answers. I did another hunt a couple days after this one and actually found another gun flint directly across the river from this one. It’s a French flint and will be on the next video. Thanks as always for the comment. Always enjoy hearing everyone’s perspectives on things.
@@artifactaddiction Awesome that you found two of them. I have a buddy who's found about a half dozen above a cave on his property where an early 1800s cabin sat, and he has documentation so he knows pretty well when the people were there and I think even who they were. He's also found a few Late Archaic axes on the same site.
@@leatherwoodcrafts Wow!! What an incredible site your buddy owns! Even better he knows some of the historical details about it and about who was there. Makes his finds just that much better. Thanks for sharing that.
Heck yeah! It’s definitely a special feeling walking up on one and realize what you’re looking at. Especially when you first get started and you understand how old these pieces are and that you’re the first to lay hands on them since the creators made them thousands of years ago to simply survive.
It might be my 59 year old eyes, but that first piece of polished slate you commented on has an anomaly on it. It looks like a "G" on that thin corner. Didn't know if you noticed that or not.
No, I didn’t notice that. I’ll have to check it out again. It’s definitely an interesting piece for sure. Sure wish it was completely whole. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Definitely a possibility. It does have that shape to it with the heavy concave base. Mississippian no matter what. Seems we find a good amount of that time frame there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Definitely is. Turned out to be a good one too. Crazy thing is I found another a couple days after finding this one right across the river!! It’ll be in the next video.
7:57, gun flint without a doubt. Great find. Picked one up in Suffolk, England back in the 80's when I was stationed there. Found it behind the river wall on the Alde.
That’s cool as heck you found one in England! I was pretty surprised to find this one. Very happy. Thanks for the comment!
Not sure how I missed this video. Great saves and even better family time. Blessed for sure!
Thank you for watching and commenting! We certainly appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks as always Kevin! We certainly appreciate your support and comments! Things have cooled down since that day and timely rains have helped a ton!
@@artifactaddiction Nice!!! Good luck out there.
Enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and good luck on your next outdoor adventure
Thanks as always! Much appreciated!!

I always enjoy seeing the artifacts yall find. Congratulations to you sll and continued good luck.
Appreciate that! We enjoy your groups finds as well! Hope all is well and you’re enjoying the Summer!
That Tika found I believe it is earlier time period, it's like a hardaway or our sam Patrice type we have here, a really great find!! Enjoyed 👍🏹
It definitely is an early piece. Heavily ground. It does have that Hardaway type look. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Mike Beautiful Scenery I'd love to be hunting for Arrowheads Gorgeous Field for Arrowhead Hunting 👋😃👍 I LOVE ROCK HUNTING AND ARROWHEAD HUNTING 👍😃👋♥️ Could that had been a BannerStone Artifact Addiction?
Thank you Sharon! Always appreciate you stopping by! We definitely love arrowhead and artifact hunting as well…..👍👍👍
Nice finds by all, cool historic artifacts too, hopefully you’ll get another round before the corn is too tall 😎😎😎
Thank you! I did actually get back there a few days after this hunt. I walked a site directly across the river and found another gun flint! It’s a French flint and will be in the next video.
Definitely a gunflint, nice find!

Great hunt and great finds you guys. Congratulations on all your finds.
Thanks as always! Hope you’ve been out finding.
One you said was super ground…. Not sure of your area, but here it’s called a “Big Sandy Contracted Base”. Looks like it
Definitely has that look. Not sure if they are this far North however. It’s definitely an oldie with the heavily ground base and hafting area. Appreciate the comments!
Nice Hunt! And a gun flint too
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Beautiful ancient artefacts found from thousands of years ago. Wonder who last held those. Best wishes from Lancashire, England.
Thank you sir! Love to hear from people all across the globe. I wonder the same things. I wish we could see who made these beautiful pieces of history. Appreciate the comment. Hope all is well.
Man U guys found some NICEEEE 1s there!! Fun flint looks like to me as well!! Killers guys!!! Thanks for the show N gr8 luck next time!! 👊🏻
Thanks buddy! Much appreciated! I actually got out a few days after this hunt and found another gun flint right across the river from this site. It’s a French Flint and will be on the next video.
Great finds, enjoy doing things together, treat yourselves to some ice cream!
Thanks Tim! We certainly have fun out there. Even when it’s a million degrees…🤣 Finding a few artifacts here and there sure helps too! Take care

@@kevinkline6835 Hey Kevin.😂

@@artifactaddiction awesome. I’ll be watching for that.
Man you guys inspire me to walk through every plowed field I see!
That’s awesome!! I hope you get plenty of opportunities to get out and do just that! Best way to find something special! Best of luck and thank you.
@@artifactaddiction seems like the way to do it is find a field that has a nearby stream or creek, where the field is one level up?
Yes sir, any plowed/tilled field adjacent to a natural waterway. (River,Creek,Lake,Swamp,Prehistoric water sources,….ect.) Walk the higher sandy areas looking for flint flakes. Find the flint and you’ll find the artifacts. Best of luck!

What a HUGE field! Man, that is a great resource for fun and adventures.
Def a gun flint, sir. Get them quite a lot here in Maryland.
It’s definitely a big field. Makes it difficult to hit most of it before the crops get going. I’ll probably go back once the corn is taller than head high.

Congratulations….on a great hunt…I dream of days where I find more then one or two pieces on a hunt….blessings

Great Hunt thanks for showing it!
Thanks for taking the time to check it out and leave a comment! Always appreciated!
Really nice finds y'all 👍
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
As a long time flintlock shooter ( 50 years) , I’m certain that’s a gun flint. Probably a English flint. Very Interesting find.

Suhweet 😎🏹🤘
Thank you!!!
Definitely a gunflint
Thank you! Appreciate the comment! It’s definitely a favorite find of mine now.
I found something very interesting and I was wondering if you could identify it for me.. how can I share pictures with you? Thank you for the video
You can email it to me if you’d like. Doylewildlifetaxidermy@yahoo.com
Maybe a levana point?
Definitely a possibility. It does have that shape to it with the heavy concave base. Mississippian no matter what. Seems we find a good amount of that time frame there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Oh, I think thats a gun flint?
Definitely is. Turned out to be a good one too. Crazy thing is I found another a couple days after finding this one right across the river!! It’ll be in the next video.
i thought it was a gun flint
Thank you! I definitely agree….👍
