Good finds
Knowledge goes a long ways👍
Good morning RC☕🍩 perfect timing again 🏝️🏖️🗽🇺🇸💯
Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro 💪💯✌️
Love me some native American finds!!
enjoyed the video well done on the finds
That hematite weight is beautiful & a super nice find!
I got pretty lucky finding that. I am serious man. like another 10 yards further.....it just goes to big rocks a construction crew dumped....and you cannot find anything. I got that right on the last beach i was walking....in the last 10 yards before I had to turn around. That is luck. LOL
The handle weight is a great find, Rocks, it looks awesome in the frame!❤
I got lucky.....big time on that. I did not sleep much this weekend. The vet was closed and reggie got real sick.....it sucked. I got to surface hunt a few times just for a little bit...and got lucky
Thank you for all the great Videos!!! My kids that are in their 20s are watching your show since the seen it at Dads house!!! Freaking Awesome!!! You are reaching the young people with positive content. But the grew up hunting arrowheads!! You the Man Rocks this channel will explode soon keep it up. I have found the same thing in central ky atl atl weights Congates on 28k subs!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man. I think I probably only have like 20,000 at this point. You get hit with some spam accounts that just subscribe to post spam every now and again. And I lost tons of people during covid. You would not believe how many people passed away that watched this channel. One entire family of like 5 people all got covid and passed away in like 2020 at christmas.
Very very nice looking. Finds. Have a good day. Thaink you. For the. Great. Video
Thanks, you too!
That's a wild two tone knife , nice . 👍
Nice display case !
Awesome find ! Great to see you back on the river !
Thanks 👍I went back to metal detect that same place I was walking....and within 24 hours it is under water. I will go back when it goes down a little and detect that.
What an awesome find! That handle weight was worth the trip to the river. It looks amazing in that frame. 💖💯
No doubt. I will go back again later this week and detect that
Thats a really nice piece. Looks a whole lot better in your case frame !! :~)
I think so too! I found that in the last 10 yards of the place I was hunting. in like 10 more yards I would have turned around. I got real lucky on that
Nice Rocks! 👍
You are very knowledgeable and sure do find some amazing stuff. Waiting to find my first.
I really don't know anything about these worked stones, so I'll go along with your thoughts on what its purpose was. I sure love the coloring in that piece you found, it's really beautiful. I like hunting for pretty stones in water's edges.
Same here. I've always had a draw towards rocks. I know a little bit about them, but not a lot. I'll pick them up cause I like something about the way they look, or the way they feel. My parents thought I was a bit strange about always looking out for them, but gave up saying anything about it. lol :~)
Awesome show,man 💥!!
I don't think I've ever found any hematite... Killer find 👊✌🍀
Yea.....This stuff sinks kind of like gold. I always find it laying on the base clay. Like gold would on bedrock. Even that effigy looking piece....was right at the base of a high bank....laying on the base clay. I think that is the only reason I saw it. Otherwise it would have been sunk down in the ground. To bad you cannot metal detect this stuff. I tried. In all metal mode it wont even give an iron grunt.
@@rockscousteau
Lol,I would've never thought to try detecting it...Good idea anyhow !! Good luck, man ...I had to go back to work today after 10 days off..ugh ✌🍀
Love the hematite you have found. I have a small Celt that is made out of hematite from Missouri
I have not found a little celt made from it for a good while. And that last little one I found was on that same place
Holy hematite 🏴☠️⚡️🍀
😎👍
Sweet hematite piece, brother! Rock on and be safe out there!
The river banks here look 10 times bigger than last year. The beach at my spot is probably 50 feet right now. Great content Rocks, keep it up!
Oh wow!Its just been hammered here. The barges pulling into the shore have just pushed around tons of dirt and sand. In some place they have even pushed over trees. Which is eroding stuff out. i think that is what happened in this place. I think a barge pushed that up out of deep water. Then the waves washed it off.
@@rockscousteau It's too shallow here for them to get very close but I've seen it before. The water is lower below the Greenup Dam than I've seen it in years. I built a sifter today so I'll be on the river tomorrow when the sun comes up. I'm about to go see what you posted today. Stay hydrated.
@@rockscousteau in 14k years it's hard to guess what is out in that deep water towards the middle from all the erosion. I need an artifact dredge to find out.
What an interesting video. Thank you for the education. Blessings friend.
Thanks for visiting
Cool find! That one has a pretty pattern to it.
I think you might be correct about those hematite pieces being atlatl weights. People always assume they are the fancy “banner stones” (I found a banded slate banner in 99 and showed it to Brad Lepper at the Ohio Historical Society and he said “Yep. That’s an atlatl weight!”) I don’t think they were using the super fancy banners as every day weights though. I think those hematite ones you have would be much more like the ones they’d use all the time. Great video Rocks. Best wishes from Central Ohio. 🫡❤️👍🏼👍🏼
Love it!! Thanks brother
What about the ones you have that tie on? You had some that had groves in them?
yea....I have lots of them man. I found one like i dunno 8 months ago that makes the example in this video look like a turd. LOL. The real nice stuff I hold back till I dig out a place.
I want some of those really big rocks!!
I’ve never seen any hematite in my area. I would be ecstatic if I found a piece. Thanks for sharing!
It all seems to be laying on the hard pan.....base clay.....like gold would on bedrock.. It sinks down in the ground like that. The high purity hematite. It is heavy. Like lead.....I know where it is outcropping.....in creeks running into the river....in nodules. It is called "Kidney hematite" maybe I will go film some in raw form
Could you explain what those weights were used for?
While the atl-atl is an effective working weapon system with just the main shaft, hook and spear, many atl-atls made in ancient times utilized a counter-balance weight attached at the center of the shaft. Weighted examples just "Work better". Weights came in various shapes and sizes and were made from various locally found materials. The method of attachment to the main shaft is the predominate difference between the various types of weights. While there are various styles that were tied directly to the main shaft, there were also those utilizing a drilled hole (perforation) in the center of the weight called bannerstones
Even with all of the study that has been completed over the last one hundred years, the whole story behind some artifact types remains illusive, and bannerstones are one such group of artifact. Some artifacts, when professionally excavated, are found in such a way that their story is literally laid out around them, plain to see. A gorget or pendant found sitting on the chest of a skeletal remain is pretty good evidence that it was worn as an ornament around the neck. Conch shell ornaments found on either side of a skull is a good indication they were worn as ear decoration. A flint point found hafted into a fore-shaft is solid evidence it was used in conjunction with an atl-atl. Excavating and documenting such insitu finds is what has provided the collector with much of the knowledge we have about many of the artifacts we collect. There are certain types of artifacts however, that even though found insitu, only paint a partial picture of their whole story in ancient times. With the bannerstone group, it has been well documented that they have been found in association with other atlatl components, namely the atl-atl hook that was attached to the end of the spear thrower, and the atl-atl handle that was attached to the opposite end. When looking at the size of the drilled hole that perforates the middle of a bannerstone, it is not hard to draw the conclusion that the bannerstone was hafted to the center of the atlatl shaft between the hook and handle.
@@rockscousteau Thank you for educating me on this. Something I never knew. Thank you for the video as well.
Where do you get your display boxes for your artifacts?
Type "Riker Case" "Riker Mount" into Amazon. You can find them on ebay too
@@rockscousteau Thanks man
❤
Where did u get ur sifter
Amazon. They are industrial dishwasher trays. I started using one in 1995. I was working in a place washing dishes in college....and saw one....and thought.....damn....I am taking that home and using it as a sifter. HAHAHAH.
They are industrial dishwasher trays for silverware. You will see the exact green one on there...and they have blue ones too that are decent. I like this green one best
@@rockscousteau I’m getting one. I’m new at this and really enjoy your sharing ur adventures. God bless.
@@indy5542 Yea......and get a metal detector too.....just look around and get something decent....that is like $200.00. You can get something decent on ebay for that or amazon. And you can use those sifters to find metal items....you can scoop the dirt into the sifter....and it is plastic....so you can detect over it and find the items EASILY.
If I go to that place I show all those slat glazed crock shards on the ground. I will find multiple targets to dig.....and find good stuff 100%. And you will too man...all kids of stuff...plus arrowheads
@@rockscousteau what brand is a good detector? How do I know if it is good?
you have to be from western PA with that accent. Am i correct?
I’ve learned somethings from you
Thanks!
You bet! Thanks man. This helps me greatly....it shows engagement with real users. THANK YOU
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank You
