Dang bro!!! Somebody ordered up a huge platter of awesomeness!!!! Holy mackerel!! Insane artifacts start to finish!!! The axe was so cool even dinged up but then HELLO!!!!! Smoker celt worthy of a firework show!! And killer points to boot!! Got me feeling kinda jelly, I gotta admit!! Awesome finds and super sweet vid my friend!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Your words are too kind. I've been fortunate and blessed to have the chance to be a short time holder of these artifacts. Thanks again friend for the humble comment.
Oh baby! The celt is awesome! Some pretty points too.. What a site! Get'um!!
Had me shaking! The thing is so polished I can see my reflection! Take care bud
Oh man the quality in craftsmanship there is awesome! You are on them . No telling what will wash out . I’m envious , super great spot . Thanks for sharing video .
Hopefully a full Dalton washes out! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your fine bunch of points
And thank you for choosing to watch my videos. I appreciate the support.
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
And I appreciate the support. Thanks bud!!
The celt made up for the broken axe, nice!
Yes it sure did!
You must have an incredible collection. The celts you find are museum quality.
My collection is steadily growing. I have several great artifacts that I've found in the 8 years I have been at it. Including the Hardin you see as my profile pic. Plus a Godar that shy of 5", several great looking Daltons, Searcy, Rice Lobbed, and birdies. Thought about making some Shorts from my past trips to show my audience 🤔
@@PtownRockhound I am not into the hobby. I live in BC and the glaciers got rid of most artifacts here. So, I do not know the names you refer to, but it is nice to see someone passionate and respectful doing what they love. To find a celt like the ones you find around here would be rare indeed.
@@Cliffwalkerrockhounding that's sad to hear that you don't find any artifacts in your area. I do know a few that live in the Ontario area that find some nice stuff.
You guys have such a good eye-I'd be walkin' right on by most of the stuff you find...
It does take some practice.
The best background music...🌹😎
Thanks for a great hunt....
I really appreciate that. I thought I'd do something a little different when it comes to artifact videos. I wanted to make mine simple for the viewers to enjoy. Thanks again for the support and humble compliment.
I remember finding beautiful points and the thrill/rush when I found them.
I am the first person to put my hands on this tool for perhaps thousands of years.
Someone crafted this tool MANY years ago. I hold it in my hand now, hundreds or thousands of years later
One of the main reasons I do this is to go back in time every time I touch one for the first time.
Wow that’s some super saves. The Celt is a screamer
Thank you! The celt sure is a great find
That’s some special creek u got ! Nice finds
Thanks. Now if I can only find a Clovis!🤞
Wow! Awesome! Congratulations on all your finds!
Man I'm telling you what! It was a great feeling to unearthed that celt after finding that axe broke. Best wishes Spike and Randy.
Nice finds, celt is beautiful and even the broken axe is a great piece. Even the broken pieces would be able to tell some stories! Thanks for the vids.
Thankful for everything I find. The celt was icing on the cake this day! Take care and thanks for watching
Great finds all around! That full groove axe was a complete heartbreaker, until you pulled that super Celt! Then it was just a smaller heartbreaker….lol. Some beautiful points too! Thanks for sharing!
Been after a full axe for years and when I saw it was broke it was a bittersweet moment. The celt definitely made the pain go away a little 🤏. My pleasure to share and take care.
Good content.
Reminds me of my surface hunting days. I actually found some points so tiny that I can't imagine how they were employed
I have also found some very small ones
Awesome finds man, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing what you find next.
I really appreciate that! Best wishes to you
Everything you found was definitely awesome!!! Killer hunts! That place is amazing!
I'm blessed to have areas that produce some quality artifacts. Thanks for watching And the support of my channel.
Awesome artifacts brother that Celt was amazing. The axe was a heartbreaker. Was a pleasure watching your video. God bless
Glad you enjoyed the video. Still riding the wave after that celt. Take care
Outstanding hunt! Shame the axe was broken but that celt was SWEET!! Great points, too!
It did hurt my feelings seeing it broke but the celt made me feel better 😁 Thank ya sir
Wow amazing finds!
Thanks. Do you hunt for artifacts?
What a bounty! ....Amazing Artifacts! Please keep your streak rolling all year long!
Thank you
Awesome
Thanks 👍
Can't get enough of your spectacular finds! The Great Spirits treat you well brother!!!
I have to agree! Have been very blessed! Thanks for watching Sam
Wow! Awesome finds!!
Thank ya sir
Nice finds! Love the hard stone axe and celt!
Thanks. They both made my day!
5:12 super piece, 13:00 even better sweet!
That's pretty much sums it up! Take care
Great video man, awesome celt and axe, im not sure how much hard stone artifacts are around here ive never found one. Congrats on the great finds brother
Don't feel bad my area has them but not like a lot of other areas there far and in-between. Thanks for watching though.
Stunners
Thank ya 👍
Killer recoveries man!
Thanks a bunch friend!
Amazing finds!
Thanks. It sure made the trip rememberable.
I love it when you show the broken ones along with the beautiful ones . loved the axes . great day keep it up .
Thanks! The broken ones come along more often than whole ones. It's all part of the process. Glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Unbelievable, such an amazing place and presentation...thank you 10/10
You're too kind! Thanks for watching ❤️
Now thats what I call an awesome day!! Congratulations to you.
Thanks. It was surreal to say the least.
Killer hunt Chris. Told you that you were going to have a great year. Congratulations Bud.
It sure is shaping up to be that way! Hope it continues. Have a wonderful day friend
Wow not only an axe but a Celt! Awesome. We found pretty much the same but our Celt was broke like your axe. I haven’t found a whole Celt in about 10 years good luck
It was my second full celt ever. The axe was still a great find, just wishing I can eventually find a whole one! Best wishes
@@PtownRockhound oh yea for sure any axe even a broken one is a good one. I got one whole hardstone Celt and two broken ones. I also have a slate celt. My father has found 2 whole celts and one broken one with a few slate celts.
That's awesome
That Celt definately made up for that broken axe. Frickin killer man, you still have that fire. It's it hematite?
Thanks friend! I don't believe it's hematite. Thought that stuff was red but I could be wrong 🤷♂️
The celt you found at 10:30, my uncle found one like it years ago near Elkmont Alabama and it is absolutely perfect. He was plowing a field and looking back at the furrow he saw something roll out of the ground. He stopped the tractor to see what it was and it was a tool like yours.
That's a cool story. Wish they plowed fields like they did years ago. I would be hunting more fields. Big reason I walk creeks because everything went to a no till.
You left me with a huge smile, awesome rescue!
You're too kind. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Wish I could do this! I have always wanted to hunt and find arrowheads and other artifacts.
Anyone can do this. Just research your area and talk to some land owners.
@@PtownRockhound Sure anyone can, but you have to live in an area where they can be found.
That is very true!
Nice points found, that axe and Celt were great creek finds. Good luck with the Morels👍🏻
Hoping this weekend I'll finally start finding them. They are up but small. This cold snap shouldn't hurt the progress to much. GL&HH
Man KILLER Celt n Axe even despite the old break!!! AWESOME flint pieces as well!!! Loved the vid!! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈 👊🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The moment I saw that celt laying there, the break on that axe seemed to not sting my feelings!
Thanks for the support 👊
Dude this music is so chill. Surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Killer spot!!!
I absolutely love your feedback. My thought was to do something different for my viewers and I'm happy with the results. Thanks for your support ❤
really like the way you show things you find plenty of time for us to see n wish lol great finds bud awesome
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. As long as viewers are happy, I'm content. Best of wishes
Your on roll, great hard stone finds!!🏹
Thank ya. It was my 2nd whole one ever.
Nice finds and nice place for hunt arrowheads love hunt arrowheads too
I'm blessed to have areas that produce.
Awesome finds! Too bad that fulll grove was broken. But that's a nice bit on the celt.
Eventually I'll find a whole axe. Have found many bit ends to them or the backside. The celt definitely took my mind off the broken axe. Take care and good luck on your next hunt
Well done sir
Thanks👍
What a epic day! Congrats on all the finds. I subscribed so not to miss anymore of your finds! Keep it up!!!!
I really appreciate the support. Hopefully the weather cooperates and starts raining more often. HEAVY RAINS!!!🙏 Again...thanks and take care.
Man those are some awesome finds! I love the material you have out that way. Enjoyed watching and God Bless!
I appreciate that. Very blessed to have areas that produce quality artifacts. Thanks for the support and God bless you too.
Be on guard!!! They can sprout legs & walk away unseen!!!
Sure they can!😉🤣
Killer finds,you have some awesome colors in ptown, good stuff, good luck and happy hunting!
I won't disagree. 😁 The traveling I do for these artifacts is definitely worth it. Best of wishes and take care
Beautiful finds
Thanks
The Mystery point kinda looks like a worked down Clovis point!
If you're talking about the point around the 8:50? I don't believe so, the flaking is not right for a Clovis.
Nice
Thanks👍
You Missouri Guys find some great stuff. Great stone, beautiful work and in the creek hunting blows my mind. We find beautiful pieces that compare in Colorado. I've tried creek hunting and haven't had much luck though.
Missouri will spoil an artifact hunter! This state and a few others are gold mines!
Really nice finds!!👍🔥
Thank you. That trip hunting was a good one! Found a Celt and a broken axe. It was the beginning of something great as the next video shows!
Nice finds! It's nice finding stuff in creeks but if you locate the Indian encampments/villages near the creek the quantity of artifacts can be mind boggling. Good luck
Yes it can! Thanks
Killer finds, That celt was a sweetie.👍
Thanks👍
Dude, that is a good week! Holy cow!
Thanks.
Some amazing finds brother. That axe was a heart breaker but that Celt was incredible. Hopefully a good mushroom season. I haven’t found 2,000 in my life!👍🇺🇸
Thank ya. Last year was actually the best I've ever had since hunting morels as a kid. Conditions were perfect in my area. They should be in full force within a week.🤞
@@PtownRockhound I hope so👍🇺🇸🍄
A great point at 6:00. As you said, the one side was used more than the other and it was resharpened as to make the point no longer symmetrical. Great material as well, looks Like Carter Cave from KY but likely from a closer source. At 9:20, it sure looks like a paleo, maybe an unfluted Clovis? The first round rock I believe is a nutting stone. They usually have dimples on both sides!
I'm not a fan of the term "nutting stone". I referenced them as a "anvil stone" used in bipolar percussion knapping. There are several videos on UA-cam that explains and show how they were used.. Nutting stone to me makes no sense. It would require to much work individually breaking apart a single nut one at a time. That's my thoughts on the last stone picked up in thos video.
@@PtownRockhound Have you ever broken a hickory nut or a walnut? As a child, I broke hickory nuts on a sidewalk with a hammer. That's how hard they are to break. The same goes for walnuts! My nutting stone perfectly fits a hickory nut on one side and a walnut on the opposite side. Nuts were one of the ancient's food sources and they would do whatever needed to get the meat out of the shell. I 100% disagree with you about nutting stones. Maybe your stone anvils are different or had multiple uses!
That could be the case that the stone was used for multiple purposes I just don't see it being beneficial considering how time-consuming it would take to make a substantial amount of food to survive on.
Thirty years ago I was living in the little town of Beatty NV... Out in the middle of nowhere... Right on the edge of Death Valley national monument...
A friend and I were walking around the desert outside of the town and the ground was covered in flint chips from the old Native American people who used to inhabit the area until they found gold.... The Natives all left because of the thousands of white men who came to dig... There's nothing there anymore except for a few stone walls and the front of the Rhyolite bank.... Anyway,we were looking down at the desert wash and I actually found an arrow head... The only one I ever found... Left Beatty in about 1984 and have no interest in returning...
There's deep vertical shafts all over the place and people who didn't know they're there have sadly lost their lives in those shafts... No warning signs or barbed wire around the pits... Forty years later, maybe they have put up fences and warning signs.... The one thing I remember about my two years there, people were dying all the time.....Car wrecks, accidents and the occasional snakebite... Place was crawling with snakes scorpions tarantulas,etc... After dark was their time...
Thanks for sharing that story.
Heartbreakers.
The fully grooved axe sure was.
@@PtownRockhound Been on some hot spots. Would almost feel guilty where your at. Nah. I would love it. Be safe.
@@PtownRockhound 2.30 am. You ain’t got on a head light do you.
Great finds. I don't know if this is just me, but I would love some original audio and some narration!
I tried to keep my videos very simple. The less talking the smoother things go I thought. There's several channels where it takes someone three plus minutes to pick up a single Arrowhead. All that creates is people skipping through your videos.
@@PtownRockhound Good point
Love your videos, only one suggestion...can the volume on the background music be turned back a bit when your talking please? It's hard to understand your words and I'm interested in what you have to say. Happy Hunting! 👍😊
I will take your comment into consideration. There are a few spots in this video where I could have turn the sound down just a tad but I forgot to do it when I was editing it. Most of the time I seem like I'm just rambling on any who LOL
Yes i have
Ok!
Lucky is better than good
I suppose there's truth to that!
Yes sir! You have been killing it this year! Bunch of nice points. That celt is a smoker! Is it made of hematite? Congrats and good luck out there brother
Is hematite in different colors? My impression was it was red in color. Hope you find a killer friend.
all those perfect points and none broken. hmm.....
Hmmmmm all ya like
When you was showing that ax while it was still in the dirt I came just alittle bit in my pants. Just a little bit
I believe I had an out-of-body experience a few different times lol
We are living vicariously through your peaceful, exciting point hunts or creek walks... If I close my eyes I am in a commercial for weddings or diamonds or something. Kill the music! It actually takes away from the point.
I have never had any major concerns about the music I use. Sorry if it distracted you from the video. I feel though that music fills in any white noises. Please understand. Thanks
I need a celt 😅
Don't we all😁
Are the artifacts worth anything if broken or chipped ? I would assume no but great to find if one is a collector/hobbyist !!! If you find several together do you set up shop and shovel and sift through shoveled material say for 4 or 5 hours to increase your odds of finding a cache burial of sorts ?
Me personally, I don't think of artifacts as having a certain face value. Grant it that a broken one won't be worth much if sold though. If I'm in a small ditch, ravine I have and will sift around to increase my odds of finding more. I have yet to find a "cache". But have found several in a small location. Best wishes
@@PtownRockhound So is it true that most Indian tribes or groups of Indians bury their hardware before moving on to richer hunting grounds or safer grounds for sustainable living ?
I don't know about burying items. But it would make sense just like we do today and store items in a "safe location" for future use. And the term "Indians" needs to be done away with. EVERYONE knows by now that this wasn't India that was discovered and the term that earlier settlers deamed the natives hundreds of years ago has been tainted. Native American, First Nation, or Indigenous is a much better term.
I’d like to try and do this. I’m in MO as well…Lees Summit area. How do you go about picking spots to search?
Good place to start is springs. Find one that's near a year flowing creek or river. High grounds near springs are also good spots to poke around.
Or start be finding a field that produces. That way you get a feel for what to look for. Easier to look also. Thanks for stopping by. Pleased stay a while!
@@PtownRockhound thanks so much!
@@roadkingrider6532 my pleasure
What part of Missouri are you looking in?
It must take practice to get the eyes in tune to spot arrowheads.
Just like with anything else in life. Practice makes perfect! Have a great week.
@@PtownRockhound
You too.
What is the value of Indian artifacts if any. I have a river property and have been discovering Indian cutting tools with flint rock having sharp edges an smooth finger surface areas including what I think might be broken pieces of pottery. Curious if these finds are worth any monetary value??
They can be. And it's whatever the buyer is willing to pay. I never like to value the artifacts even though that's what a lot from society like do to make sense of importance. If it's broken it'll be worth next to nothing. Same with pottery shards. Infact I usually give pottery shards away as a thank you. Sentimental value is worth so much more. Have a great day Rene.
@@PtownRockhound maybe one at you can visit my property and check out the sights I have been finding things. Your welcome anytime. I am heading out there to do more searching. Take care
I'm flattered you give such an opportunity. Maybe one day. Stay in touch and take care.
@ 9:05 of the video you can see something right in the tip of your fingers if you pause it. and we couldn't really hear much what you're saying cuz the music was too loud.
That was a leaf. You can also hit the CC button in the top right of screen so you see what's being said. Hope that helps.
@@PtownRockhound my vision is becoming more difficult and I've always struggled with reading so kind of no it doesn't help. I tend to gain most of my information from hearing.
I've always wanted to find an arrowhead but never have. I'm in SW Missouri what area of MO are you hunting these in?
SWMO is a great location. Infact the whole state is pretty much good! So focusing on a particular area is irrelevant. If your passion is real and strong then it's only a matter of time before you find your 1st. Then it just gets easier from there after. Good luck and best wishes.
Wow can I have that one black sir that's thunder stone
Haha.
I think it’s a dalton
I just subscribed but may reconsider due to your background music. It drowns out your comments. I have to replay some of the footage just to hear your words. Sorry.
Sorry to hear this
I like your videos but sometimes when you put in the background music I can't hear what you are saying
No worries most of the time I'm just rambling on that's why I add music
atlatl points
👍
