Thanks for explaining a bit on erosion and stream/river recovery of artifacts. Pretty cool finding points, blades, pottery and the like. Keep on filming. You have a great channel.
Creeks attract rabbits and other animals with their burrows in or near creeks. This is where Indians hunted for better success. That;s why more arrowheads are found in creeks instead on the benches above the creeks.
My grandsons 7/9 love your channel. Especially the video with the spirit Indian/Native American after you. They cackled on that one...had to replay it several times for them. Just got started looking for arrowheads/artifacts. Took them yesterday after a 4 foot swell from a 3 inch rain had subsided to about 14 inches depth. All we found on the dry sand/gravel bar were "Indian Beads" (fossils) but everything is a treasure to them...and it gets them into the woods. Going back in a day or two after the flow drops another foot so I/we can really look at the rock bars. Yesterday revealed a ton of freshly rolled, clean rock in the bottom of the creek that - before the rain - was all mossy and hard to discern. Going to try and focus adjacent to flat ground BUT with move to a section directly adjacent to both the flat on one side and the steep / pointed ridges that overlook the creek and have eroded over hundreds of years...right onto the creek bed...on the opposite side. I picture them camping on those ridges, too, as they empty out onto flat ground. Thanks! Rory
👍 I can picture a Woodland period native picking up a fine Clovis point and feeling like he won the lottery. I wonder what did run through their minds about ages of different artifacts they found. That little arrow you found is an anomaly.
@@revengeoftheriddler I’m sure they knew it came from earlier people but no way to know how old. With no records, I figure 3 or 4 generations later, it was forgotten.
Knowing all this, I STILL watch you because of how enjoyable your demeanor is on camera. Love the creek exploration videos you've been doing a bit more than "THE digging spot" videos. Thanks for posting!
That was very interesting! You have a good eye for finding that stuff! One additional factor that's going on here is that surface runoff is vastly greater in post-settlement times than it was in pre-settlement times. That's because the runoff from tilled fields and even from cleared forests is enormously greater than it was when those places were still in their natural states. Typical rivers and creeks in post-settlement times have cut much deeper into their beds than had been the case in the distant past, and there is also far greater bank erosion going on. That's the result of high-flow events occurring far more frequently and in greater volume than was typical in pre-settlement times. My previous career involved examining soils within excavations for construction in all sorts of locations, and when excavations are done within floodplains and even just the bottoms of broad, gently-sloped valleys, there's usually clear evidence of the changes in erosion and/or deposition that have taken place in post-settlement times as compared to what was happening earlier. Erosion of the banks and bottoms of creek channels always took place, and it followed the same "rules" as what we see today, but the volume of soil that is being moved by streams is many times greater in modern times than it ever was in the distant past.
I live close to Floyds Fork creek in Bullitt Co, KY and i've hunted on gravel bars that look just like where you are. I find a lot of fossils (ancient small clams small marine life), but I've never found a point. I always surface hunt, maybe I should dig some. Good video, glad to see you're still out and about.
my situation may be a lot like yours, i live close to Baker's Fork creek in Southern ohio, close to Serpent Mound, & i have those gravel/sand bars too....i'm making a shaker now & am planning on sifting them....i've found 6 arrowheads & 2 scrapers on my property but now will try the creek...
One other thing I always looked for when I was younger was a rivulet in the bank wshing down from the level field above. These usually form in floods and heavy rain run offs over the years and sometimes they are full of good stuff like a fruitcake full of candied fruit.
The natives who left these points are long gone, even the tribes or groups. Most folks have no clue. Thank you so much for the videos. I always learn something.
Scott: Just yesterday, I was wondering when you would publish another vid. I know, winter has been a little rough. Good to see you again, bud. Have a good one. Enjoyed it! We have had a couple big/hard rains this winter. I need to walk the two branches, crossing my place. Who knows what I will find. Good motivation video.
Right at the beginning, I’m gonna have to share with you that these are not creeks or runs, they are canals. A canal was built by human hands. The impact of the human civilization on the North American continent is looked at as natural to us as we were born into it, and that’s all we know.
Honestly I felt like this video was just for my old artifacts hunting self , I walk a stream just like yours on my brother’s property I learned so much - the part about the gravel beds being constantly re worked by the water … that hit me ! There’s like seven gravel bars in his stream, and I have not thought to go back and look at them after several rains -I feel like such a goober !! Thanks for that tidbit Waters high down here in Arkansas too Emma Watson …. She don’t believe a word you say Clegg …. But she says Hey 👋
Great video and channel. You made a great point at the end. Expedient tools are common but often overlooked. Over the years I've learned At some of these sites the textbooks offer little help.
theres a creek right beside my house that i walk down quite a bit in the summer, havnt found anything beside those old green class coke bottles and loads of pericline Nickle mason lids. maybe one day! Good finds man!
Keep looking! About 20 years ago my wife found a spear point in the creek bank at the end of our street that predates the local Lenni Lenape people. A past coworker's son had found a corroded British saber protruding from a small creek in their back yard in Abington, PA.
Subscribed. You will have great success with your content on UA-cam. I love your videos, its like im with you finding arrowheads to. Keep the content coming I promise you this channel is gonna blow up. Thanks for the hard work you put into this for us all to enjoy. You will be rewarded.
Emmm, 9,000 year old arrowheads - "9,000 yeas old" he says!!! When the earth and all of "creation" is all approximately 6,000 years old. Those arrow heads are 3,000 years older than the earth - emm,... and that's all I got to say about that.
Your explanation makes sense. I'm also inclined to believe that ancient people hunted near the creeks, because animals frequent the creek banks for water. Then they get shot at.
Another fellow i know was walking along old rail road line Ohio side of river just past New Cumburland Locks and Dam ... he found an old indian pipe in prestine condition walking along eroded rail road tracks
I have a section of creek i walk alot and find nothing only to come back the next day or after a flood and find flakes and tools and preforms and some times petrified theeth so i keep on truckin to hopefuly one day find that arrowhead
I'll bet flint Knapper's of prehistory were so into their skill they could recognize the work of others in their group. In fact, I believe families, bands and even tribes had distinctive ways and methods of fashioning stone tools and implements. I know the arrows of a tribe were recognized by others. Even white men learned how to ID them.
Here in PA when we see stream banks with such steep sides it is usually because of "legacy sediment" from mill dams. Could there have been a dam within a half mile downstream of where you were?
My dad introduced me to point hunting when I was 8 I’m now 12 and I love it. Over the past 4 years I’ve collected 24 arrowheads all together and in my collection I have TWO perfect daltons each about 150 - 250 EACH those were my two best finds the best part is my dad and brother stepped right over one 😂 I look over and there it is that was my first ever dalton the other was in a river just sitting there and a blind person couldn’t have missed it it was bone white almost glowing in water the best part of it was it was my first find in that river 😁. That was 2 years ago though and since then I found well over $500 worth of arrowheads 😮
Still never found an arrowhead after all these years. I've hunted Colorado's plains, Central/South West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, and Middle Tennessee, and yet I have never been blessed with a find. I'll keep looking!
There you are!! I was just hoping you didn't take the entire winter off there!! I recall many frigid wintry days during my four years at WVWC but then there were the nice breaks and Audra State Park with terrain and streams just yours there and 'hot' mid-winter days often well into the 60s! Jim C,
I am a bottle guy. Amazing how I think I have found all the bottles in a spot, and then, just like that, I find another. I love to go out after a big rain. You never know what rain will wash out or rinse off
I wish they had a true expert, old folk, guide to hunting arrowheads & pottery. My great aunt has a dammed spring fed valley pond that the emergency spillway washed out twice & behind the dam another creek runs parallel with it. Where the intersect I have found caboodles of flint & pottery pieces as well as afew whole arrowheads. She told me that the Indians use to live right around that around which by what I have found confirms that. She even says that at our locally well known “5 point” a 5 way stop intersection that there was an Indian trading post where Andrew Jackson came & met with tribe leaders. 5 point is right there close to where the spring starts. Where the emergency spillway washout in the cliff side we found what looks to be a horse’s skeleton. As far as she knows though none of our previous 2 generations ever own horses just cows. So you now show old they are & if they might possibly be there from the Indians. Everytime I go down there I find abunch of finds, being flint nappings galore, random or broken arrowhead pieces, one or 2 intact arrowheads or fragments of pottery. You will even have spots where you’ll find charcoal from where wood was once burnt. I know there had to be a small camp there on my aunts land. The crazy part is I have found some of these pieces almost right at ground level where there’s spots where the grass is dead. I had heard that the common white flint glows in uv/black light but that doesn’t look to be true. There is so much down there to try to shift through I wish I had someone who enjoyed just the adventure of looking & exploring as I do. Sadly the closest thing I have to friends are ladies that are in their 70’s to mid 80’s even though I’m mid 30. Life has been rough & damaging to my soul.
One must have a very keen eye hunting for arrowheads ... my brother in law found 3 shoeboxes full along plowed fields on family farm Columbiana County Ohio over the years ...
You should reevaluate your reasoning a little bit. Stealth is a big factor when you’re hunting, especially with a primitive bow with a short range. When I hunt deer and squirrels in the fall I usually walk the creek in the water. It silences your footsteps and wildlife can’t distinguish the difference between a little splash and riffles. The water is also a necessity that the animals can’t do without and sooner or later they will show up to drink.
They just built a new bridge beside a very old bridge on a small river. At the turn of the century there were 5000 Osage Indians camped there and where the dug new footings there were a lot of arrowheads, we find them all along that river on sand banks and rocky shelves.
I never thought about it but the natives making stone tools would have found older stone tools of a different style and some of them would have copied the older designs to see if they were better. You are the only person I’ve watched or read that mentioned this possibility.
Was that a mound behind you and the creek at your back in the west?if its in the afternoon? I presume, because the sun is off your left shoulder.about 2:48 in.
Animals need water. Lions in Africa hang out at the watering holes waiting for their prey to show up. I would think naitive americans would do the same thing and shoot arrows and spears at the animals drinking from the creek.
Im waiting on a big rain, i blew all the leaves from a wash that goes into a creek. You gave me that idea on one of your other videos. These videos are good info.
I just found a new honey hole under a overhang on the oppisite ridge from a bluff that still has paintings on them, i do wish i knew how old they are but alot of what im finding is big corner notch stuff but some others to
Living here in New England there are so many streams and brooks and from what I heard from my friend who hunts for arrowheads that there are a lot of arrowheads along the banks of these brooks and streams.
Some points get into the creeks by ancient peoples spotting fish and taking shots at them. Some others are carried in by game that didn’t die until they got to the creeks.
I knew about the erosion and stuff but I assumed people found more around water because the stones they used to make to arrowheads were easier to find there… Plus it’s not a bad idea to hunt near a water source… Maybe it’s a little bit of everything is the reason why you find more in creeks… I’ve found a couple points back when I was younger. I’m thinking about getting back into it… Thanks for the info, I love your channel btw…
That is very interesting. Around here on the St. Johns river in N. Central Fla. we have lots of old Indian shards of pottery. Lots and lots of them. They must have been used for cooking and storage and were easily broken so they just made more?
as an old bow hunter my take on creek arrowheads is that hunters would travel the creek bottoms to get a shot at browsing deer up on the flats and anywhere up to a hundred yards from said creek would be where arrows would land if the deer was missed and also a woulded deer if it got away would head for water in its injured condition and possibly die in the creek. It would also be a good place to process a successfull kill.
Wish they still plowed fields. 😢
Heard that!
Me too
They don’t?
Very interesting. Cool info.
Uh no. Topsoil is too valuable and takes to long to make to erode.
Thanks for explaining a bit on erosion and stream/river recovery of artifacts. Pretty cool finding points, blades, pottery and the like. Keep on filming. You have a great channel.

Probably thought it was 50 years old. I figure they found a lot, seeing they would be looking for flint type stone
I was just thinking about this to how often did they find paleo arrowheads and if they knew how old they were

We would find them in a plowed feild near a river. (Brazos)..
Also good place to look
A lot of fun and excitement, finding artifacts from the past.
I love the hobby 👍
Im waiting on a big rain, i blew all the leaves from a wash that goes into a creek. You gave me that idea on one of your other videos. These videos are good info.
Good luck out there 👍

Living here in New England there are so many streams and brooks and from what I heard from my friend who hunts for arrowheads that there are a lot of arrowheads along the banks of these brooks and streams.
Exactly
I would think there in the creeks from them trying to shoot at fish and loosing them possibly
Probably, but not this creek. It’s small and only has minnows. This was a living site, but the river is right there also.
Some points get into the creeks by ancient peoples spotting fish and taking shots at them. Some others are carried in by game that didn’t die until they got to the creeks.
I’ve heard that
Great tips ,ive never found much but im still lookin lol😂
Good luck out there
In PA, my Great Uncle had a lit of what he called Bird Arrowheads
Yes, that is the general term used for arrow tips. Most others were used on darts or spears.
I've found them in the gravel of railroad beads.
Nice 👍
Nice to see you brother!!! Nice weather comming soon
Yeah, warming a bit this week
I knew about the erosion and stuff but I assumed people found more around water because the stones they used to make to arrowheads were easier to find there… Plus it’s not a bad idea to hunt near a water source… Maybe it’s a little bit of everything is the reason why you find more in creeks… I’ve found a couple points back when I was younger. I’m thinking about getting back into it… Thanks for the info, I love your channel btw…
Much Appreciated! Get out there, you’ll find something 👍
@@cleggsadventures Yes sir, I can’t wait for spring to roll around… I’m a fisherman anyway, so why not look while I’m walking the creeks…
Does look like a blade, they made them all size. Nine thousand years though
No, it was an arrow tip, maybe 800-1000 years old. Just looked a miniature of an old knife
Beautiful enthusiastic presentation, man!
Much Appreciated
I knew of a fellow that worked for Dravo Ohio River Dredging Panhandle Ohio West Virginia ... he found a petrified dinosaur egg amoust the dredge
I actually seen and held the egg
I’d love to find something like that
Deer go to drink near creeks and I assume they were ambushed in the vicinity.
Never know
That is very interesting. Around here on the St. Johns river in N. Central Fla. we have lots of old Indian shards of pottery. Lots and lots of them. They must have been used for cooking and storage and were easily broken so they just made more?
as an old bow hunter my take on creek arrowheads is that hunters would travel the creek bottoms to get a shot at browsing deer up on the flats and anywhere up to a hundred yards from said creek would be where arrows would land if the deer was missed and also a woulded deer if it got away would head for water in its injured condition and possibly die in the creek. It would also be a good place to process a successfull kill.
I’m sure it happened many times
Tribes also lived near water on higher ground so they spent time making those arrowheads,thus more opportunity to find a bunch of them in one area
good job
Much Appreciated
