It's amazing what gets missed in some of the popular creeks. Everyone looks for points, but I've managed to find some nice little hand-axes in some of the most heavily searched areas.
Thanks for this realistic hunt! Much enjoyed! Viewers watching pared down videos showing the best finds, may not realize the hunt itself is satisfying even if unproductive. Your small plastic rake makes a great tool for scraping without injury. Fun to tag along & enjoy the moody day!
Hey Rockdog, I hope this comment finds you well. Thank you for the information in this video. I live in Ohio near old Hopewell Indian ruins and I look through the water systems to find tools used hundreds of years ago. With this video, I’ve found arrowheads and a scraper! I’ve since donated them to my local history museum. Thank you!
So I just moved back to Eastern TN. With the help of this video i found my first spear point. Your video helped and for that im subbing. Awesome channel!
Scary? Bears, Bobcats, mountain lions? It's amazing how comfortable you become out in the wild when you have a .357 on your hip! 😂 I love the way he throws old Indian tools away. 😂
I always look and sometimes you get a surprise. I was once along the river and found a mercury dime just sitting on a rock, like someone put it there 5 minutes before I found it
I found some old pottery in a dry creek bed in the NC mountains last fall. I was backpacking and didn't have anywhere to put it so I just left it there. It was all broken, but it was in big pieces.
Usually there's lots of wildlife there but a major shift in weather was occurring a huge storm was on the way that day all animals had already seeked shelter.
Why don't you use a polarizing lens on your camera to minimize the reflections off of the water surface? or polarizing glasses to increase the clarity of vision in the clear streams?
Everything you picked up is just creek tumbled chert. But if you go to 9:47 on the video there is a nice orange arrowhead center screen that you missed
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 okay but it not a relic of its just been busted up in the creeks and what not. Not arguing that there is more than just points out there. But there are ways of telling weather or not something has been used by man.
I assume you’re talking about the bottom center I see it aswell I’m not sure though, as the camera move there’s a slight change in the right notch’s shape making me believe it’s just two similar rocks that are perfectly lined up for the camera. Edit look at 9:42 in .25 speed where he goes at a more upward angle and perspective changed compared to the time you’re referring. They look different meaning they have to be two different rocks :)
Man, I have been looking for 20 years and have only found one perfectly intact arrowhead. Meanwhile, my mom comes over to my house, walks in the field to look for "pretty rocks" and finds a very nice maul with a nice groove.
Yep when it's that quiet and in a secluded backwoods area it must be a Bigfoot around and about !!! I would start a production work day in all that gravel for my eyesight ain't that good for just walking and trying to spot something so definitely a shovel and large classifier sifter of some kind !!!
I have 8 wolly mammoth effigys from that creek countless bears wolves owls eagles. I'll probly make a video of all the tools I found there since fall I got several hundred nice ones.
Question forgive me I'm new at this and it's just an observation but that's seemingly needle in a haystack looking kind of technique... why would you want to look in a creek with a gazillion rocks that look like the same material used to make the artifacts? Didn't the natives take the rocks out of the creek and work them on dry land at there favorite spot? We have a giant sandstone that predates man out here close to where we live and it's a one of a kind in both it's mega size and shape (upside down teardrop that gets narrower the further it goes down) the size of small shed and about 10 ft tall from where ground starts. The broad top is almost flat and there's strange shells, structure with tiny crustaceous looking fossils sparsely seen imprinted all in it I haven't worked the site yet but I'm almost certain it was a institutional magnet for natives all the way back to the earliest days. Heck it's a magnet for young teenagers partying even in current times.. I'm going to start sifting around there when it cools off ... but wanted to thank you for the inspiration! I've found this digging sifting quite therapeutic and we have creek that I think might be near perfect not quite as large but with rocks consolidated along a sharp bend
That's a great spot for artifacts native Americans lived in that valley from clovis to when it was settled in the 1800s. Its more interesting to look in a creek than a dirt field.
I’ve been hunting for artifacts recently and found a few arrow heads. I live in Indiana so it’s funny I come across ur video Bcs the otama trail of death AKA patawatomi trail of death started here in Indiana and I’m actually about to start hunting the trail
We have several campsites here where they rested at for a couple days at local families bought markers and erected them with a few paragraphs about their passing thru.
This video has over 100k views its my most popular one and I find nothing . I have a lot of videos where I find museum pieces that get no views. You never know. Thanks for watching.
We had 6 inches of rain in that spot nx week ill find a bucket full of stuff there the county road crew dug it all up with road graders be sure to watch this is the greatest paleo spot anywhere
So many Effigys the last toss😮 was a buffalo 😂 are you just interested in arrowheads? I love the animals that are also a tool a very small rock can have multiple purpose plus be portrait
Look at my other videos from this place I have a bunch of clovis Snyder Daltons and a ton of adeanas several museum grade ones. I make videos of the tricks I use to find things when I'm not finding anything.
Why are there so many arrowheads? Why didnt the indians go get the arrows that they shot to use over again? I always try to find any of the arrow with arrowheads that I shoot, I dont leave them. Why did the indians leave their arrows on the ground after they shot?
Dude seriously. Your jealous that he’s actually putting in the work. And A plus for him not reacting to your ignorant comment. I hope he finds a lot of great things what a great hobby to be into.
Hey don't breathe or move. You may kill something else. You are human and therefore you don't belong on earth. So stop existing and let native life exist.
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 not every rock is an artifact,in fact nothing in your video looks like an artifact at all.( Ironically everything fits in the hand). Just my opinion.✌️
What a good looking creek, my friends and I recently started using a small rake and it's a game changer.
It really helps pull long arrowheads up from being buried in shallow riffles
It's amazing what gets missed in some of the popular creeks. Everyone looks for points, but I've managed to find some nice little hand-axes in some of the most heavily searched areas.
People don't recognize axes or effigies . I find dozens at these water crossings where people park at here.
Cap
I love how he’s finding good tools and just tossing them 😂
I only got so many places to put them at home.
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 there’s always places to put them my friend
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 why don’t you sell them?
@@davidszymanowski4777 Why not let someone else find them?
Imagine what he’s got tucked away at home

Thanks for watching. It's my most popular video and I dont even find anything.
Totally agree. Some of my best memories came on hunts I didn't get anything.

I love the rake idea. i'll keep that in mind the next time I go out looking.

The sound of the stones are so different than central PA stones!!! Thank you !!!

"this place where I am should be full of wild animals, I can't understand why they're not where I am?"

Hi, love the method you use. Im gonna get me one of those rakes. U can get a chest camra ...that works excellent and works great. Hands free.
Yeah but my phone has a great camera and let's me upload on ytube so easy

Not all relics and artifacts are pointy thats what amateur s find and collect
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 okay but it not a relic of its just been busted up in the creeks and what not. Not arguing that there is more than just points out there. But there are ways of telling weather or not something has been used by man.
I see it 😳

I remember that orange rock i picked it up i think it was a nice flake but not worked.
You don't find arrowheads, they find you!
I know what you’re referring too when you said “there’s no noise in the woods today not even birds”
Man, I have been looking for 20 years and have only found one perfectly intact arrowhead. Meanwhile, my mom comes over to my house, walks in the field to look for "pretty rocks" and finds a very nice maul with a nice groove.
A guy I know who hunted most of a century said 1 in 200 around here is pretty and perfect.

Thank you, Rockdog.
Thanks
There ain’t nothing like walkin a creek
Sure beats field's
I believe that second piece you picked up was for a left handed Indian.
About 35 percent of tools seem to be left handed like me
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 seems I just find Indian sex stones mostly.
Beautiful place..where is this?
Northeast Missouri near Hannibal
I take it you have dump truck loads of artifacts back at your house, garage, shop and barn
Just about. I got 8 five gallon buckets of axes from there. I find new stuff everyday in my driveway from tHe
dumptruck loads I hauled from there.
Cooked rock. Means a campfire was near there
Yeah the kids have bonfires there on weekends

@@rockingwithrockdog9236 Yeah your correct ..you can see more in creeks. Not completely hidden ... I'm trying to hunt large runoffs
@@rockingwithrockdog9236Did you Clovis? I read Clovis arrowheads in good condition are very valuable up to $20k ... those are in Sandhills area??
I have 1 intact clovis i found in another video I have posted anda couple broken ones.
I’ve been hunting for artifacts recently and found a few arrow heads. I live in Indiana so it’s funny I come across ur video Bcs the otama trail of death AKA patawatomi trail of death started here in Indiana and I’m actually about to start hunting the trail
We have several campsites here where they rested at for a couple days at local families bought markers and erected them with a few paragraphs about their passing thru.
Ummmm is he actually overlooking some good arrowheads or is it just me seeing things??
Where I Live you might find yourself in Court for picking up Arrowheads.
I believe for the movie i'd have to salt at least 1!!!!lol
This video has over 100k views its my most popular one and I find nothing . I have a lot of videos where I find museum pieces that get no views. You never know. Thanks for watching.
Missed a point at 8:15
Where is this creek? Looks pretty different from the creeks where I'm at in KY
Northeast Missouri by Hannibal. I have a thousand pounds of relics from it probly left 5,000 there i didn't want to carry to truck
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 no way I live their too what a coincidence
it does look like Mayfield creek . dont it?
Nice work brother. Enjoyed the video. Good luck out there😎👍👍
We had 6 inches of rain in that spot nx week ill find a bucket full of stuff there the county road crew dug it all up with road graders be sure to watch this is the greatest paleo spot anywhere
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 I’ll stay tuned👍just subscribed
May i ask what state you live in ?
Missouri near Hannibal and the Mississippi river
Thats more than ive been finding
😂🤣
Good way to chip n breakem but ok
Are the animals bedded down already ???
I think so there wasn't any animals moving around anywhere that morning. The weather was odd.
So many Effigys the last toss😮 was a buffalo 😂 are you just interested in arrowheads? I love the animals that are also a tool a very small rock can have multiple purpose plus be portrait
I have lots of effigy videos posted check them out
Bigfoot watching
I thought I saw one once but I didn't have my field guide with me to be sure.
That first find was a 'hand-held' piece. Interesting.
Aren't they all?
Seems your tips don't work so great. What did you find???
Look at my other videos from this place I have a bunch of clovis Snyder Daltons and a ton of adeanas several museum grade ones. I make videos of the tricks I use to find things when I'm not finding anything.
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 I will, thanks!
Yo not even kidding you missed maybe INE if the best arrowhead/spear head ever it was maybe a 7 inch gray whole piece you walked right over it
Big foot
Why are there so many arrowheads?
Why didnt the indians go get the arrows that they shot to use over again?
I always try to find any of the arrow with arrowheads that I shoot, I dont leave them. Why did the indians leave their arrows on the ground after they shot?
Millions of native Americans probably made billions of arrowheads. They couldn't find them after they used them proby they always had extra
Give those artifacts that you throw back to a kid, you might change there life, you never know
Where are you at?
20 miles west from hannibal mo on hwy 36
There is no noise in the woods because you're tramping around and talking. The wildlife knows....
Usually there's lots of birds around there the weather was odd that day.
you destroy potential habitat when you rake in the creek.
Potential i feed small fish by stirring up food
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 okay brother i can see that. for some to live some must die. so the food chain goes. peace.
You destroy potential habitat when you wipe your butt. Must be a Democrat.

Stop the video at 8:54 and look at the center of the screen. I think thats an arrowhead you didnt find.
Everything is a tool.👎
Every rock is a weapon.
@@rockingwithrockdog9236 not every rock is an artifact,in fact nothing in your video looks like an artifact at all.( Ironically everything fits in the hand). Just my opinion.✌️
no noise = sasquatch or dogman - watch yaself -
When all the birds get quiet something is up.
