Nice hunt, i can't hardly imagine going out and finding all that at one time , but that's the difference between a site and hunting creeks , thanks for sharing your finds !
Yeah, for sure a difference between creeks and field sites.In fact without field sites there'd be few creek finds.If I had to rely on waterways for artifacts I'd be where you're at with forming a collection.Never found anything in my area in creeks and I do live in a rich area.Not all creeks are created equal either.Tall eroding banks is the key component for success of which we have not in my area.Thanks
I am always amazed how that ground keeps putting out those great artifacts. So close on a few and it does look like recent plow damage on some. Farm equipment sure is rough on artifacts, that's why it is good to rescue them before more damage is done. Excellent video my friend.
In most every instance when time permitted, if those grounds showed any dirt I was putting my shoes on and most especially if is got moisture.:>) The effort has been without fail every trip and I've done my best to take advantage of any and all opportunities.Fun places to hunt.Thanks for the comments.Always glad you stopped in.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I was thinking about your comment for a wheelbarrel need and while its reduced to a bucket in the last decade,I'd need a wheelbarrel to move what's been collected.:>) After pondering, I don't have enough cases for heart breaker displays.
Yeah, that first piece hurt my feelings for sure.That colorful one you mention it spectacular.Loved PePe's cup artifact in your recent video, and how great to be able to piece it together again too.Blessing to you as well.
Looks like I finally bumped into one of your vids .... I have some catching up to do👍🏻Some real colorful finds, along with a few that make you go dang .... that one hurt! Glad you are still getting after'em. I've not found much so far, except for one Kirk corner-notch that had some minor shoulder damage. I'm hoping to get out again soon. Best of luck to you FS .... have a nice evening✌🏻🏹🏹
Glad you made it to the show.I've had a good time the last couple of weeks after a long winter drought of hunting.Feels good to score a few, and yeah, the ones that hurt happens to all who look for them.Maybe your hunts will be worth the effort.Thanks and BOL
Some nice ones brother. I can relate with the broken ones, most of my finds this year have only been a half a point or less on most. Like you said though, I’ll take’em as I find’em👍🇺🇸
Surely one of a kind. Paleoman 52 once said concerning that Copena, that it's the standard that all other Copenas are measured by.In his words He's saying it's gonna be hard to beat for the example.
@@FlintSpall , indeed ! Probably also is Ken's! I would trade you a hammer stone for that point 😉 , lol I crack myself up 🤣, but I do have 2 unique ones that I haven't seen even on you tube!
@@davelink1318 LOL, I'll probably hang on to the Copena for a while longer for now.But no joke, I don't expect I've had it out of its independent case over a half dozen times since I picked it up that day.I couldn't wait to get home with it and cleaned ever so gently to show my sweetheart, and wouldn't you know she pretended to drop the thing, and I honestly don't know where she and I would be right now had she really dropped it.Needless to say, she found it much more funny than did I.LOL I can kinda laugh about it now, but not much.:>) After it surviving the tornado of farm implements to be damaged at home.Hard to think of it ya know?
@@FlintSpall WOW, I'll bet she was scared when she had to start your heart again! ,lol I know the feeling! I know I told you I have never found a point, but I have a few, after I found my first artifact 4-8-2019 a big green granite axe looking hammer stone thing one of the 2 I mentioned the other is red granite carved to fit your hand, ( this is going to be long) I was in a antique shop and sawa big frame of points and blades and flake knifes so I bought it and another one, . A year later I realized the big one was a Clovis but the base gone, any how one day looking at it I dropped it, I made a case for it and it doesn't come out, the other case had a 4 and a quarter inch Etley g10 and 2 ecentrics all 3 perfect, I better stop, I live on the shore's of lake Erie, nice chatting with you, no one else I know is interested in artifacts , 👍
@@davelink1318 No apologies needed here.I'd continue the chit chat but weather warrants a trip to the storm shelter here in my area presently, so I'll have to go.Interesting stories tho.Enjoy hearing.
Heck yeah buddy! Still kicking them out. I thought you flipped out a Paleo piece there for a second with that concave base. Looks like a big Hi-lo. Some dang good colors on the rest of the finds. Especially that big bullseye point! Thanks for sharing…👍
I saw what you saw with the concave based piece.It was well on its way to demonstrating Paleo characteristics for sure. Absence of any basal grinding made it much easier to vacate that idea for they rarely ever made anything that wasn't ground.However, nothing was ground until it was being put to use and it was clearly near first stage reduction in the making.So until someone laughs I say it first stage clovis.:>)
Glad you got some rain. Still a successful hunt you found some nice stuff. It don’t matter what site your on bluff or field the broken stuff is always greater then complete points. But you got some case worthy artifact and that’s what counts. Take care and good luck
I agree, the ratio will always be one sided, where ever your hunting them.I don't guess a man will ever get past the want for all of them to be complete, but I still have plenty through the years that have been close enough.:>) Thanks for stoppin in again.GLTY!
@@historylooker7 We're always waiting for something to change or better yet, "Get just right".You ever notice, things very rarely get just right? Glad sometimes they get close enough to produce some stuff tho.btw, I can't argue that these sites are and have been fantastic occupations.Blessed to have access.
Beautiful finds brother. Nobody's heart gets broken more than an artifact hunters. As we all know. LOL Brother I'm sorry I haven't been subbed sooner. I thought I was? We sub all the same people. Looking forward to watching you have fun. Many blessing Sir.
Thanks.No sweat on the sub thing.UA-cam doesn't play well at times, well most of the time.,,anywho, glad you gotta look at the things I tend to pull.Not sure if you caught the video of the axe I found in the fall, if not it's the highlight for me in 35 yrs searching.Highlight may be different tommorrow but can't remember a find I thought any more of than finally scoring on a good axe.
@@FlintSpall I will for sure check out the axe video brother. I have never found a grooved axe. I have knapped axe's though. Thanks for subbing my channel friend. I don't get out anymore so there's no content to it. I spend most of my time in bed on youtube or crafting a little bit. There are a lot of great channels like yours and I try to enjoy as many as I can. Have a great day Sir.
I come across some really colorful materials from time to time.While it appears flint ridge like, I expect its likely randomized chert from local creeks.Most of the colorful chert locally is grainy but occasionally a few high silica content which makes for a nice shiney finish is found.I've smacked a good bit of it in our creeks and most is unknappable to the degree one would usually seek for when just knapping for hobby.Thanks
Its water only in the clean up.It makes the true colors pop whereas they dull once dry.For that reason,I have a display table of some better quality finds that I actually rub down with pledge furniture polish.Its harmless but makes the artifacts so much more attractive IMO.
Thanks for asking, but more happy about answering.:>) Yeah, got huffy and puffy but the bulk choose to slip by slightly north and south as they approached from the west going east.Had our shoes on and on the ready, but thankfully all I see this morning by way of any damage to our property was a yard that I'll have to destickamatize before I can mow again.I went as far as to bring in a dozen potted plants etc.that otherwise they'd likely be floating in the pots. I poured 5 in.out of the rain gauge.Glad I made the trip through the field sites before this because it's not doable now for several days.At least not for me but some half raised idiot was likely walking them last night amid it all.I was told and I'm sure anyone that ask was told the same that they didn't mind walking the fields when they're not occupied with any kinds of crops or when its rained 3 inches the night before.I just respect that but not all will, but I'm still hunting today because I didn't go against the rules.:>) No fun looking over your shoulder for a mad land owner.
@@FlintSpall sure glad you are ok, and if you are worried about your artifacts getting blown away in a tornado we'll I would be more than happy to take care of them for you 😊, lol , Ohio has had a bunch of tornadoes this year but south of me luckily they don't seem to come up by the lake, damn shouldn't have said that, we had high winds 4 or 5 times this year and had branches and sticks everywhere, my 2 acres is surrounded by trees, I used to live out in farm country and moved here in 2016, wish I knew what i know now about artifacts, guess ware I find most of my artifacts ! The creek in my front yard, and in my back yard 😀, well good luck today!
@@davelink1318 I would feel better about a heavy gun safe to stash some of them because it does cross my mind when storms and tornadic weather is prevailing, but just not bit the bullet.It'd be cheaper to just fedex them your way then send em back afterwards.:>) I'll think on it.:>) Glad you can pick up some stuff to satisfy the hunger one has for treasure.I say it's more like an addiction.I just deal with it tho.:>) On days like today I just look at what I've found along.I've been fortunate to have had access to many rich native sites of which many are no longer.Most of them year by year was developed and have houses built on them, others turned into pastures and not tended in crops any longer and some have become public parks.Glad I still have a few that I can scrounge around on.
@@FlintSpall SEND THEM Back? Damn it 😖, lol, you know I live halfway between you and PM52, quite a guy he is, I've only texted with him a time or two, speaking of great artifact guys to rivel you, how about GBM, damn ! He has a wild collection ! Speaking of him I found a atlatl spur ( in my favorite creek ) oh and a camel tooth and a possible atlatl weight, I found all that and more sifting the loose gravel in the creek, but deep like 18 inches deep, going to do that more this year, you have a Email, maybe I could figure how to send you pictures, only done that once, I suck at computer shit ,, oh the only way I knew a atlatl spur was from watching GBM, I told him and he wanted to see it but.... Well good luck with the artifacts and the weather , and if I'm talking your ear off just let me know, thanks

So good to see you using a bucket again, two amazing places that you’ve shared over the years, have enjoyed all those recoveries 😎😎😎

I’m a seasoned pro when it comes to using my imagination. Barney helped a little, but the Teletubbies were masters. Glad you found a few brother.
Thanks.I prefer actuality but imagining gives me a little something to go on.:>)
