Thanks for sharing so many finds, and Squirrel Man is a real talker🤔😀 didn't know they chattered like that. They always bark and raise heck when huntin or teasin the dogs out back but I never heard all that chatterin. Funny as heck

  • @williammurrow58
    @williammurrow58 2 роки тому +9

    I love finding shards as much as points. Was out in the Susquehanna today looking, found more shards than I ever have but couldn't come up with a point. Been in a dry slot here NE of Baltimore and the river is low, perfect for hunting. You're in a great spot bud. Can't wait to see what else you'll find.

    • @rockscousteau
      @rockscousteau  2 роки тому +1

      yea.....that is what it seems like on this spot I am on...seems like only pottery.....for a while...and a few flakes here and there...then boom....a point.
      But the thing is...I am sifting. And I am not siting a little. I am sifting truckloads of dirt per day. That is why I am finding a few nice points a trip.
      The thing I do is this...if I am finding artifacts like pottery...I look around for a while. Take some test screens. Then find the areas with the most flakes. If I am seeing nice flakes in the screens....it is only a matter of time before you find something nice. that always works for me....and I try to take all the flakes I find out of the sites. So when I am finding more,,,,it is not items I have already looked at in my sifted.
      Follow and flakes.

    • @williammurrow58
      @williammurrow58 2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm old so cannot sift a truckload of dirt in a day. But I can go back day after day so eventually get a truckload sifted. Strange that fire rock and pottery was present but not a flake. I'm thinking somebody already hit the spot decades ago, took the flakes for the same reason you stated and left the shards. This area has been searched since the 1920s. Not to be deterred I keep trying. I've found points just none within the last year or so.

    That Cresap was made from some cool, but unusual material. Great find! We have had a lot of rain down my way and the rivers are up a few feet and muddy. It looks like they are in good shape up your way. Hopefully, I can get back out down here before long.

      Yea not bad on that find. It is nice to go to different places and find different types. I have not found to many points like this. The site of the Cresap Mound is right in the area I am sifting in this video in West Virginia. The place the Cresap Adena was named.

    • @rockscousteau
      @rockscousteau  2 роки тому

      Yea that stuff after it dried out is almost like rhyolite. It is a little more "grainy" than most of that red and green material I find. Most of it is a little more "waxy" looking. This has some odd color too.....I am clear up in the northern panhandle of west virginia.....digging....so I get some of that Pennsylvania type material some.....a little quartz may show up that far up the river...a slate point......the materail changes or starts to change about at this area of the river.

  • @garynichols8186
    @garynichols8186 2 роки тому +2

    Rocks, most of the points and artifacts that you find are from thousands of years ago. Do you ever find points or artifacts from the Indians that were from the last 3 or 4 hundred years ago? I know when the white man arrived some of them traded for metal points and rifles but prior to that I'm sure the probable used flint.

    How can you tell if the shells were used by prehistoric man ? Just curious 🤔

    • @rockscousteau
      @rockscousteau  2 роки тому

      It is much thicker. There was no pollution then....no agricultural runoff. The shells now are thinner than a quarter.
      And it is a midden. The shell is in a huge pile under the ground. It is still there because the minerals in the shell preserve everything.....even the bone.
      It is an ancient pile of shell and bone and basically trash from an entire village. It is an ANCIENT DUMP.
