- Here is my third visit to my favorite fields! This was by far my best trip because we received a huge rainfall over night which produced some minor flooding, but it also washed the fields down really well. After a 4 hour hunt I came home with a pocket full of cool artifacts. Join me on this hunt and see what the rains uncovered! I also show my latest Rice Lobed point I recently made out of hornstone.
Awesome finds Ken!
Awesome finds👍
I see a new song coming,,,,Wastin away again in Lamokaville,,,you know the rest. Thanks for the tour buddy
That was a jump and holler kind of day ! That hard stone adze is a fantastic find . The pestle piece and adze piece are nice also . Great bunch of very sweet points
the little birdies kind of snuck in there with the Lamoka big brothers , plowing over time tends to mix layers on multi occupational sites though. all in all had to be an extremely gratifying hunt. Is that a knapping scar to be on your little finger that was camouflaged under bandages on the previous video ?. a dedicated knapper can be detected by the amount of band aids purchased =) Thanks for the share of the hunt and clean up look . Makes me feel good to see you have a day like that . Good luck . Hope you have more like it ---Butch
Awesome stuff thanks for sharing your adventures always a joy to watch and learn thanks
beautiful work there at the end! i love seeing the craftman ship put into those pieces!
Very good finds....I love the celt and pestle, thanks for sharing
Thanks Barb for watching. It was a good day and you don't get days like that very often. Those hardstone tools are my favorites to find too!
Well done Ken some awesome finds , Ken I have now watched all of your videos to date and I really enjoyed them all from your walks , hunting points to knapping loved them all thanks for sharing keep them coming ha .
Wow, you really hit the lottery with this field! I can't believe how many items are in that field. The field near us hadn't been plowed as of yet, can't wait to try my luck.
That's a dad gum killer hunt ! Lots of sweet Lamoka finds ! Good Luck Bro !
dang look at the Paleoman putting the boots to that field ...... good hunt
Nice finds . I like the point you made as well . Best wishes .
Looks like you had a great day. Thanks for sharing.
what a great day you had in that field lots of cool artifacts
man o man sweet celt !! congrats on a great hunt!! thanks for the show!
a great action filled vid,thanks ken.
Man, I thought you cleaned that field out with your last visit, it's amazing what the rain brings out. There's nothing like finding a point and the anticipation of finding another, it's very addicting. Looks like you had a great time, thanks for showing us, later Ken!
at 3 minutes 41 seconds, when you picked up that blade, there was a worked stone axe lying there too. Hope you picked it up as well.
I missed that one, I need to look lore carefully!
@@Paleoman52 I know, you will never find them all, but it would be nice to find them right under your nose. Been there, done that!
Thanks for sharing your hunt with us! I'm newbie, and am having a great time checking out yours and other experienced hunters' videos! I have fallen in love with the "tiny" points, and any "little treasures"...they just fasinate me and really spur my curiosity from many angles!! I don't know hardly anything about the art of making points, etc., but I think your point is really beautiful!🙂 Singing Wolf
Thanks so much for your great comments Jim Farmer. I like those little points too, I hope to find a few more there next time I get a chance to look on that field.
So many in one hunt Wow. Looked like a nice coolish day to do it too. :)
Wow Ken, you really hammered it right man! Awesome hunt.Good to see you enjoying your free time doing what you have been working all your life for.Grats.Love that adze,GL HH P.S. send some rain...we are around 10 down for the year...Creeks have not blown out once this year....
Great video!! You've been knockin it out of the park lately!
Hell of a hunt Ken, dont recall seeing any beveled adze, very cool, heck I'd darn near walk there from where I'm at but by the time I'd get there the corn would be ready for harvest.
What a day! The faceted adze is a great find and you've so many Lamoka points out of there I lost count,Looked like a good time to me and great work on the RL at the end. Turned out killer and looks like it could come from around here somewhere! Keep on rockin'!
Killer Site! Thanks for sharing,...You sure do have an eye for picking those out.
wow great hunt, you really tore em up!! i love the adz! GL next time you out and HH
Just to have well enough eye sight as a retiree,to find those wee points is a Woo-Hoo moment in itself,,,besides the hardstone Whoo-Hoo's.LOL Those are uniquely made adz's though.Good haul of finds today.Gotta love those Mucks.I do wear a second pair of socks with the top folded down again to wrap the heel well,when walking mud.it seems to create suction with each step in mud,which in a long hunt,kinda irritates my heels,,,,but the socks eliminates the movement.
Looks like a traditional camp site. The natives would use a good spot over generations. There are most likely great artifacts to find there.
lots of nice finds brother, glad you got out in the mud and beat the other guy to them, lol
take care buddy
Love your videos...a guy I work with is a mutual friend from castile who told me about your videos.. My GF and I hit the park the other day ..and I so wanted to meet up with ya and see your points...maybe for the knapping show this summer..I am up on Niagara county and cant find a thing these videos give me hope lol
My wife and I used to find a lot of them. Unfortunately, no one plows the fields where we found the majority of them. Occasionally, we will find one. I have one large Riker frame with Bradley Spikes. A friend named Steve Addison and Bob Overstreet produced Bob's first book on arrowheads. That is where I learned about the Bradley Spike.
I have that same problem, I am loosing good fields every year. As a matter of fact the field I videoed this on has now been sold and it is a free-for-all on there anymore plus they just put it into alfalfa and it won't get plowed for a few years. I found absolutely nothing this last year.
Lots of videos I have not yet been able to get through! being able to do so gives a a good perspective of a persons "archeological" profile! I still just never imagined the points and arrowheads available when I grew up in NY!!! Wow! Thanks for the good show of a great hunt! Man -- I think it would be very cool to set you off in good conditions in one of my strong sites here in eastern NC!! That you can appreciate these really great artifacts when you are able to make such fine pieces is amazing in itself!
Indian Trace To me it is still all about the ancient artifacts! I am in awe of the things I find and that inspires me to try my hand at recreating their work!
Good deal! Your combination of the two is very exemplitory! It is NOT a simple thing. It is clearly hard enough for folks to even appreciate finding artifacts which are broken or points which might not be perfect. Many collectors have slipped into the industrial era... thinking they need to be finding .22's, 7MM Rem Mag's, or .308's... our minds! lol! I TRY HARD to keep the central understanding of utilitarian need... and am real happy when I see they have had a deep interest in balance, craftsmanship and asthetics too!
I've genuinely enjoyed this video. It was interesting and we'll produced. I have subscribed and look forward to viewing your others. Thank you.
+Mark Graves Thanks so much for subbing Mark and for your comments, they are much appreciated.
That little skinny point is what I call a "Bradley Spike", named for Bradley County, Tn.
Cool, do you find many of them?
that's some pretty cool finds. I always wondered how I could find a field like that.
scoring like a boss. looks like you had some fun that adze is killer. I don't know much about rice points just what I have seen the guys find on youtube. looks like you got it down good work.
Congrats, that's quite a haul in one day. Got close to 3 inches of rain here in Md.
.......and still no artifacts.lol
Nice! Congrats!
That was a fun day, I'm glad I recorded it, thanks for watching!
+Paleoman52 I have the same pastime,& have for over 50yrs. Continued happy hunting to you!
Great day!
Very cool
A cool site! Based on what you showed, it appears to be a virtually "pure" (single-component Lamoka site.
+RobertRicklis There is one little spot in that site where I find a few Meadowood points. I didn't find any this time but that is about the only other group other than the Genesee point I have found that wasn't Lamoka. All the Meadowoods have been broken so far and I have yet to get a complete one there.
NICE FINDS
FlintSpall Jr.....LOL You are definitely tearing it up bud ! Nothing like next to non stop action...."like I should know"....LOL
Cool finds and nice Adze....I like the beveled edges on those...it sure is different from what we find !
OK, You've got me wondering....did you find the other half....that would be way to cool to do it twice in a year !
GL2Ya out there !
Boy is that adze nice!!! Awesome day Paleoman!
I have a spot but have to wait until September after the corn
Good Luck!
Whoop whoop!! Enough to make you click your heels- all the way to your waistline it sounds like.
Going back in time again! I have time today as we are being snowed up... with another expected 5-8" tonight! THIS IS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA!! Anyway... that was a special point at 2:00! Good to go out there in the wild with you looking! Real interesting stuff to me... and do you suppose that the Lamoka followed the genetics of their ancestors prior some 2-4 thousand years? That is... possibly far before any European designated name? Do youthink the Lamoka were in fact "stone age" hunter/gather Indians? Our knowledge of their name alone might place them post-trade goods... post stone age? Just trying to put a very interesting scientific puzzle together!! By the way... LOVE the Rice side lobbed! I wonder why any other napper would not? It is s sweet size and sweey point... I see all nappings as post-modern lithic sculptures. Believe it or not I first began to love stone sculpture though an understanding of the Renascence! What they did with marble!!!!
Good hunt ken...A guy sure wants to make sure his spelling is spot on when he tells a guy he has a nice adze...LMBO
hillbillyrockhound 😂😂😂
New subscriber, loving your video!
Thanks so much for the sub! I hope you will enjoy all my other videos!
I metal detect as a hobby and recently found my first point, also found some native pottery and a quartzite game ball in the same area. Would You mind if I sent a picture of my arrowhead just to get your opinion? Thanks
I'd love to see what you found, please send it to me via private message.
I'm not exactly sure how to send a pm on UA-cam?
here's my email kwallace4@rochester.rr.com
A “friend” took me to one of her spots with lots of broken pottery. I found a perfect Bird Point that she insisted she had to add to her collection 😒
OK what is the difference in a Ads verses a Celt? I am really needing to know. Thanks great video.
+Calvin's Corner72 OK Calvin, here is what I believe is the difference. A celt is an ungrooved axe that has a straight bit right down the center of the end of the axe. Those were probably socketed into a handle and used the same way we use a small hand axe. Am adze usually has a curved bit and is flat on one side and curved on the other side. These were most likely used to gouge out wood to make bowls, canoes and possibly flesh hides. Does this help you to tell the difference? I hope I explained it right. I may shoot a video on this subject that will show the differences so keep watching, I might do that today! Thanks for watching!
Cool that would help out allot. I have what I have saw in artifact shows they call a pick. It is broken but it is about 9" long and is made out of a bluish slate type material. I found it on the Connasagua River here in North West Ga. in a high flat spot used for a camp. I have got a Celt as you described made out of the same type material I found their too. The "pick" I think it is anyway is rounded on one end and the other end it seems it's been ground like a Celt on both sides to a point. Thanks for comments and I will also try to do a video soon on it so you can see it.
very cool finds.. how do you find out if the native americans were in the field back then or do you just go to a field and look or do you have to do research.. good luck and happy hunting..
The landowner told me about these fields and invited me to come and look on them any time, but a good way to find a site that was occupied by Native Americans is to first look for water, then land that sits above or near it. Check for flint chips and pieces of fire cracked rocks and most important of all is to get the land owners permission to look there.
ok cool thanks a lot ken I really appreciate it. and ofcourse I always get permission. thanks for the tip ken.. good luck and happy hunting..
Very cool finds bro, so how many have you remade these into knives and such? I would have to remake a knife if i found a blade, to hold a knife that was made 500 plus years ago would be amazing, to know it was made and used that long ago by a ancient man too cool.
Stop at 2:06. What is your index finger pointing to? Did you check it out?
I'm not really sure what that rock was, but due to the size I would hope I had seen it. Thanks for pointing that out, I wish I could go and check it out but that area has about 18" of snow on it right now and the corn was harvested before that. It wouldn't be the first artifact I'v missed that's for sure!
Just out of curiosity, what do you do with flint pieces that you don't want to keep?
I have a huge pile of my debitage next to my mancave and I give it to anyone that wants it. A lot of those pieces are curved and chunky and sometimes too thin to make anything other than a scraper out of.
The reason I asked is, I'm looking for some for my fire bag. Out here in Idaho it's hard to come by. I can make or find everything else I need, but I can't make flint, darn it. What would it cost to USPS a small box to Nampa, Idaho from your place?
Lomockaville where?
That's a name I have given this field due to the large amount of Lamoka artifacts I find there.
So, do you think one would be able to find stuff like this in the PNW? (Pacific North West)
+skyler oien I do believe that you can find artifacts in your area. Back in 1990 I was in Wenatchee Washington and a young fellow down the road from where I was working would stop by and show arrowheads to me that he had found walking in the fields near his home. Native Americans lived all over this country and if you look in plowed or worked fields near water there is a good chance you may find evidence of their time in that area. One thing though, be sure to get permission from the landowner if you plan on walking on their property.
Hi there, Walt from Medina, hung in oak field...could I join you in a field this year, and you come up and join me on one ?
Hey walt im from niagara county new to the hobby. Interested in finding some other people to hunt with.. Been hunting to no avail any tips would be great
What would you date this stuff at ?
At 2:04 I believe there is a large one right in front of you
Wow! How did I miss that one, I can clearly see it in this video! It probably isn't the first one I missed, LOL!
Paleoman52 lol I’ve never been arrowhead hunting but I want to go....but Im sure, just like with anything, we don’t perceive everything around us. I’m sure everyone misses some lol when watching ppls videos I am always looking around the ground and many times I see heads and am like yelling at the screen for them to look haha 😆
What y'all are callin a adze, is this the same thing as a Celt?
There is a difference between an adze and a celt. The adze usually has a slightly curved bit with one flat side and the other side beveled or curved. A celt is basically a grooveless axe, with the bit centered between the two even sides.
Paleoman52 how can I send you a picture of something I found so you can tell me what it is please sir?
my email is kwallace4@rochester.rr.com
Paleoman52 mine is williamarnett25@gmail.com
Sent buddy
the native americans are turning in there graves lol with joy.
adz
Plot twist he Made them and buried them!
If you know anything about Letchworth State Park, you'd think otherwise.
That " first find" was most definitely put there by you. You can clearly see the ground separated from the stone where you shoved it in there. I give this video a thumbs down
The reason that first find was separated from the ground was that I moved it to make sure it was an artifact and not just a flake, it is hard tell sometimes because flakes can really fool you. I always try to show the find as I see it, and I carry a stick along with me to check to see if what I am finding is an artifact. I have never recorded a find that I didn't actually find. Sorry you feel the need to give me a thumbs down but that is your right to do if you feel that you want to.
Ken, sad that people don't realize the history in this particular area.
