That is a 3 ringed mini ball. Used in the civil war. It was the first.bullet used in a rifled musket. It was the reason the Napoleon tactics used in civil war battles. Shilo being the first and bloodiest demonstration of the improvements the expanding bullet in a rifled barrel. It was a leap in accuracy. But it was one of the reasons standing in a line and firing till one side had fewer men tactic ended. The next big leap came with the brass self contained cartridge. The repeater was created. The sharps rifle that wiped out the buffalo also used a similar improvement. Sadly war bring innovation. Im sure the evolution of the Indians weapons changed during times of battle. I think the bow transition from atlati spear occurred after or during the columbian exchange when disease went through the American indigenous population. Like the horse, the bow may have evolved as a more practical weopon to carry on horse.
20:50 I enjoy those multi tools just as much as anything else. The functionality whether they were left or right handed. Getting by with sticks and stones can be a pretty interesting concept.
Your videos are so helpful for me! Could you sometime talk about tips and tricks on how to access rivers, creeks, and such when the only access you have is public access? I know people say just ask for permission from property owners, but I don't want to do that. I've sometimes found a place to park, then walk a ways to a bridge over the river, enter the river or creek, and then begin walking. What other ideas do you have for us super new newbies that will expand our location options?
Pamela, unless it’s public access, it’s gonna be owned by someone. I have a couple of permissions that I walk to, as in this video. But other than that, I also have to use the public access and paddle the kayak.
Scott glad to see ur back out missed the uploads!! I know summer is tough.. Great Kirk!!! You find such a diverse set of time periods. That odd stone kinda thinking adds? It would do the job. Great video again!!! Still recovering from spine surgery, but my boys helped a buddy save an old wagon wheel last week, I did the filming, He did a nice video on that!! Keep digging!!!! Great job again!!
Your slate peice at 5 minutes in. I found the exact same thing and took it to an artifact show. They told me it was a peice of a winged banner stone. I found it 20 feet from the river. I go back there every chance I get looking for the rest of it. Great show bub. I really enjoy watching this channel. 🤪✌
@@cleggsadventures I'm actually in 10,000 B.C. right now picking up some sweet points. Butt, I'll set my time machine for monday evening so I can be the first and definitely the funniest comment. See ya Monday bub. On my phone that is. LMAO 🤦♂️🤪✌
Awesome video! These clear, lit up well and close up videos are so important, to me at least, for being able to study and learn the pieces and what to look for. I see my faceted hematite look more natural than purposely worked when compared to yours.Mine may have been but then tumbled longer.Who knows. I'd love to see more videos of your other pieces... the not so great and the great other artifacts. If you can spend some time doing those, that would be appreciated.
Look those hematite pieces over well. I’ve never found a worked hematite piece in a creek. Maybe like you said, too much tumbling. The ones I find are coming directly from under ground, falling out of the bank, so not much tumbling until they reach the water. I tried so hard to get good video. It’s very difficult filming alone, and I’m a bit shaky at my age. Thanks always for watching Tracy.
@@cleggsadventures we are basically same age, I'll be 53 in a few months so you are not old 🤠👍. I believe where we live is near the end of where they say the glacier came through Ohio. I rarely hunt and find anything in the water. I believe all my hematite has been found via digging in my yard and at a church ground near me that was adding onto their building. I found scads of hematite there. The most I probably ever came across in one site. I may do a video and if I do I'll let you know and you can give me your opinion.
Looking good nice finds good to see you back at it dig deep I have found a lot of stuff like that here Kansas City a lot of good places here got to fight the muck waiting for the next video good luck 👍
Hey Scott. Glad to see u finding points. I was hoping u would have a video for us to watch. I enjoy your videos tremendously. I didn't know if the conditions were bad to search. Holly sheep dip. I just saw the part while doing this of you finding that nice one..
When I find potty pieces it often times looks like it might be pieces of clay pipes like they had in the old days but I dont know for sure. I have found quit a few of those clay jugs that the movies show people blowing in to make music. I would find large pieces of them even the mouth part with the round part that the finger holds on to. I found an entire jug one time but it broke when I was trying to dig it up. I found an ancient campfire too according to the native American historian at the pow wow. All by accident. I found them when digging edible and or medicinal roots up or when having to bury a pet on the farm. Our land had a creek running through it that connected to a large river. The historical society and the pow wow committee had said that it was one of the most well known used encampments for the Miami Native Americans back in the day. I was not aware that arrowheads didnt always look like the stereotypical arrowheads. So I passed off on a lot of blades etc thinking they were not a part of the arrowhead family back then.
I’ve found several fire pits along the river. Hard to tell about your land , but I’d say the parts they do know, is just a fraction of what happened before recorded history.👍
I can tell your very inteligent provably retired NASA your videos are way ahead of the competition.you aint gone belive that.but its true.if you would dress like a native and paint canoe up like original native canoe colors.you would be a youtube star.thanks for sharing.stuff sticking out every where.can you see it.its juuust there.
Lol I think you are just a slick old dude your videos are great some of your ideas are borderline out the box. I built me some point o scope 2001s put my eyes 4 inches from the gravel and hunted close to the road had my tunes on and almost ended up stuck to a log truck tire .but its all good missed me by a foot.lol lol you aint gone believe this. He locked that sucker down and plowed 60 feet of ditch out ..and Score.you know it.
Scott, what material was the 1st point made of? I found exactly the same stuff on long island, ny. I discovered a site with tons of debitage and only found 2 small flakes of this orange/brown fine silica stone
So if I'm in a river that has sand and no mud also never many rocks that I can see. Do you think that a rock bar may be there just under the sand somewhere.. I live in a rocky area but the rivers never have rock bars ..
Spent alot of time shooting muzzle loaders .I thought the pistol barrel you found awhile back was cool. still healing the broken arm and not really able to get out and look myself I enjoy your videos
Bullet looks like a .54 caliber. Mannnn, that long point you found. Whooooa!!
Thank you 👍
That's an awesome piece u find in this video.
One of the largest I’ve found
That big point is fantastic! Congrats!
It was a big one, especially for there. The big ones are usually broken. It measured 3”

me up a couple Clovis points while you’re there!👍
23:31 the bullet is called a “mini ball”. The 3 rings are for lubricant to help prevent leading of the rifle barrel.
Much Appreciated
Great vid, that big kirk was a smoker!!
Darrel Colburn in Alaska Thank you much!👍
How cool to be touching something that hasn't been handled by man for 10,000 years!
It’s a special feeling for sure.
Great hunt love that big one it kinda looks like a picwick,God is good

@@cleggsadventures You ever need any help ask . I am not interested in keeping any but be exciting to help find some .
Where ya located?
@@cleggsadventures Bedford Pa
You’re 4 hours from me
The "knapped piece"....
any peck and grind piece can be shaped wirh knapping before wasting all day pecking and grinding.
Scott, what material was the 1st point made of? I found exactly the same stuff on long island, ny. I discovered a site with tons of debitage and only found 2 small flakes of this orange/brown fine silica stone
Most all of the colored stuff around here, comes from Flint Ridge park in Ohio. It traveled a ways. I’m about 2.5 hours by car from the quarry.
Looks more like Amos the notches look like there punched in might be Kirk I doubt saw to many Amos the big point you found
Warren Mills Thanks for the information, some are hard to identify. And thanks for watching and subscribing 👍
What state r u…and can u do this in IL u know?? Love the vidoes btw
West “By God” Virginia 👍 yes it’s permitted
So if I'm in a river that has sand and no mud also never many rocks that I can see. Do you think that a rock bar may be there just under the sand somewhere.. I live in a rocky area but the rivers never have rock bars ..
I’m sure there’s stone there, question is… how deep
I would say that was a celt for a child's toy club 12:10
Looks like a ,58 caliber U,S minie bullet
You’re probably correct, I don’t know my bullets .👍
@@cleggsadventures I just googled it and compared the grooves. I have no clue as the size but from the ones I saw it looks to be .58 caliber
Looks to be around that. Can’t get a good measurement because the bullet is bent a little
That is a civil bullet its Confederate.
Vince Bridges Thank you Vince.👍
I meant civil war bullet.
Understood completely. 👍
Looks like 58 cal minibball
James Auld That’s what my friend was telling me also. Thanks guy.👍
Spent alot of time shooting muzzle loaders .I thought the pistol barrel you found awhile back was cool. still healing the broken arm and not really able to get out and look myself I enjoy your videos
Get back soon man, the big one is out there. waiting on ya!
