Who needs coffee to wake up to, just watch FlintSpall working his Ole Stomping grounds!!!! Watching those boys in the south sure educated me with the San Patrices, thanks for finding enough of those Beaver Lakes for me to know em now when I see em. Sure glad you rescued that Copena!!!!
killer big ole long blade, and all the rest of your finds no way to coment on all of them. FS it is so cool to see you have such a killer time out there and find all them fine artifacts. its is for sure a field of dreams, but old stomping grounds is what it is. congrats again and thanks for letting me hunt with you had so much fun. Billie thetnrelichunter
That point put the ART in artifact!!! I think you could do a 3 hour clean-up on all those pieces you found. I would watch every minute! You must be pinching yourself because you are living the dream in the Old Stompin Grounds. Feeling blessed I am sure. Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope you get some rain soon.
Totally awesome Bud ! I'm really so happy for you if for no other reason.....to get back onto your childhood stompin grounds. The points are just a bonus ! Nice finds and I'm glad to see you getting your average up.....LOL Yep, you're right I do love them little Beaver Lakes.....who in their right mind would'nt ! I can understand and sympathize with your knee problem....them stilts will take their toll on 'em. I finished concrete for a looonnngg time and mine aint too good either..
Wow! Between that needle tipped point you found and the find of devonwaynes friend, there are some really unbelievable finds being posted on youtube. Congratulations! That was a once in a lifetime find!! Amazing! And I'd be all crazy worried about breaking it too!! :) Congrats again!
Wow, what a day, I love those tobacco fields, I was getting nervous just looking at that monster in the case, I'm not kidding. Please put it away. Thanks for showing that thing, one of the sweetest on youtube.
Sweet finds all around, FS! That needler is just incredible quality and gotta love the Big Sandy and ya got ya a cool Beaver Lake too, and, and, and....man that field rocks!!! I haven't got to hunt much, the last couple of weeks, and these vids of yours are giving me the fever bad, but we're bad dry here already and spots are limited. Gonna hafta get back to some diggin'. Thanks for the show =)
If I can get the right piece of flint I would love to try an make a point like that one you found. If I was successful it would definitely give me a deep appreciation for the skills that knapper possessed that made your point. That is one of the finest pieces I've ever seen found. A once in a lifetime piece and not only a daymaker but a yearmaker!
I am havin the best year of my life,as far as headhunting goes.At some point,after the crop growth causes a slow down,I'll try and make a vid of some of the best stuff so far this year.I do feel blessed,and undeserving at that.Appreciate the comments.
I've never seen anything like it either. I bet that's not his first try at making a needle tip point. The knapper of that thing was very skilled. Great hunt FS. Field of dreams seems appropriate.
man you videos have been killer lately...that place is a real killer field...cant belive that amount of artifacts u can find...that piece is a real real killer congrats good luck next time keep the videos comen
That last one is a real prize Brother and yes I believe you're right about it being Moss Agate. It sure does look like it from here. With a tip on it like that I'd be scared to handle it too. Good Luck on your next adventure.....I wish you well !
I know man.Its still in that case and rarely been toughed since its recovery.Hard to believe it survived the plow and disc for so many years.Glad its safe as can be now.
Good story.Really never know where they are without a look.Most ridge tops are bare due to distance from water,but I have found a few that had a good size population,due to a good fresh water spring.Those places are rarely looked here, so if you find one,most of the time its yours.Thanks for commentin.
(Continued) I asked why here? He said the hwy about a mile fm here was the original hwy the Indians traveled in and out this area. The Navajo trail. He said it was the perfect place for Natives to trade with other tribes. He even found a complete pot while digging his own well. About 6 ft beneth the ground. AWESOME!!!!!
LOL,,I very rarely,ever pick it up.,but I look at it often..Just amazing how it ever survived.I've never seen anything with such a tip,,ever..Find of a lifetime,no doubt..Thanks for the views and I appreciate the comment..btw,I'm gonna go look at it,but I'm not gonna pick it up,trust me.LOL
That was another very enjoyable hunt to watch, you really have some great places to hunt arrowheads Flintspall, I was wondering what type of chert/flint most of the points are made of. Some of it looked like Hornstone to me. That blade with the needle tip is amazing. That guy that made that was a true master knapper, Wow! -Paleoman52-
I would love to have a day half as good as one of your slow days WOW! I look for hours some times, and I don't find anything man I need to find some new spots.
You know I have an uncle in Colorado. He purchased a piece of desert/sagebrush property just outside of town, because it was cheap and very ugly with no trees and lots of wind. He began to find arrowheads like crazy out there!!! He's probably got at least 400. For the longest time I could not figure out why the Ancient Natives choose to be in that area. I asked him where they got there water, because there was no streams close by. He claimed that there was a spring on his neighbors prpty.
I know someone who has a spear point, about nine inches, that resembles that last blade with the super pointy tip. The whole spear ranges from about nine inches, with the remaining inch being super thin like that blade
Your Rockhead point is certainly paleo !!!! Two Beaver Lakes in one hunt !!! I agree about your remarkablt tip point. The only thing like that I've ever found was a bone awl with a tip just like that. Suspect whatever the purpose of one was , the other was used that way too !!!
It must have been loaded with caffiene,cause I hadn't slept since I found it.Those Beavers are I believe,on the border of the Candy Creek points after I finally got me a guide,which are closely related.I like em either way.Glad U enjoyed and thanks for commentin.
What a great find. How in the world did it stay in one piece for all those yrs? I have cable tv and could watch about anything but nothing is better than a FlintSpall video.
+SCUpstate Digger :>),Didn't think about make it hard on the cable company.:>) I honestly don't know how something like that survives.I've found some remarkable pieces,,but none as fragile looking as that one.I was so glad to get it washed and laid down.LOL I don't handle it much.
Yes it is authentic. I've done a lot of study over the years and its def authentic. He basically has a relic collection that is equal or greater than a museum, in flaked artifacts
Killer day!!!!! Yes I would say it is no doubt a extended needle tip Copena. I dug one out of river bank and sent it to Dickey and Jackson and neither would give me a paper on it. If i wouldnt have found it buried with only a small portion of tip sticking out it would have been hard for me to beleive that it wasnt planted so I cant really blame them for not beleiving it was real anyway congrats and good luck!!!!
Killer hunt man...if you don't mind me asking what part of midwest you hunt? Find alot of similar material here in indiana....love the harrisburg material!
+Cherokee Moon Yes sir,,,I'll never forget those kind of days,,maybe because they're usually far and few between,when something like that Copena is laying in your path.:>) Thanks
I think he was trying to notch it .. look up Montels found in Texas .. we find stuff like that where they are found .. bad ass artifact man and thanks for sharing
I don't know what to say either.Its funny how,when U find things,U think of people who has found one,so U don't really feel like your by yourself.Glad U enjoyed and Hope U can find some killers soon.Thanks for the comments.
Thanks Buddy,M Brooks told me U might could help with a ? that I have. I was notified by utube that my time was increased,so this time I uploaded a 29 min vid and utube said to large,only 15 min PLEASE.Any suggestions.No prompts were given,so I'm in the dark about it.Worse case,I can still make severals parts if needed.Thanks
Alot of hornstone is found in most all my huntin places.I think some is Fort Payne,Harrodburg,A little Dover.Then some of the white,pinks,etc,I have no clue.As U can tell,when it gets away from Hornstone and Fort Payne,I am guessin,if I say.I've thought of your skills,since I found that point.U could prolly make one like that also.I'm not sure of the Mat.,It is tranlucent with specks,like Moss Agate or something alike.
I guess at some point it was possible,but not likely,due to the fact that,in that area are campsite after campsite for miles along this stretch of creek and I figure they were all the same tribe just spread out,prolly Cherokee,which was the dominant,I doubt any other tribe would have attemted battle.Could have been some civil disputes.to many tools,suited for work ,in my opinion to be a battlefield.I think they just lived there for perhaps generations.
Whenever you look for places to hunt, do you just go by instinct??? Or do you study and do research on where there were campgrounds??? My dad found tons when he worked in arkansas but we dont have much luck or time here... Hopefully are luck will changE!!!!!
500 times you see that finely flaked edge protruding from the earth and you end up pulling out a chip or broken tip but there is NO feeling in the world like pulling the finely chipped edge and it just keeps coming and coming - in my case 7 inch Etley. All I saw was a corner of the base - there is no feeling in the world likepulling out seven inches of stone artistry right to the perfect point.
Wouldn't know about a seven inch piece,but I can only imagine it was the same feeling I had pulling out a near 5 in perfect dovetail,with only part of the base and a little edge showing.:>)
YEA BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET DONT DO IT AWESOMME WONT DO STELLAR NOWAY THAT HUNT WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!!! WAY TU HUNT MAN PIPE COMIN AXE BANNER OH NO YOU GOT ONE ALREADY WHATS NEXT IM STAYIN TUNED 4 DOVE TAIL LTR
Well those guys,same as killed your point,that stinks.U know its real.I wonder how many thinks this point is not real?I could'nt believe my eyes,but God as my witness,thats just where it was when I picked it up.And as far as I know,nobody has been in that field but me,and no modern knappers to be heard of for hundreds of miles.There may be some around,but,I wouldn't leave a piece like that,even if I could make one.Thanks.
Who needs coffee to wake up to, just watch FlintSpall working his Ole Stomping grounds!!!! Watching those boys in the south sure educated me with the San Patrices, thanks for finding enough of those Beaver Lakes for me to know em now when I see em. Sure glad you rescued that Copena!!!!

A true artist made that piece. The Michael Jordan of flint knappers!! Congrats on a great find!
That point put the ART in artifact!!! I think you could do a 3 hour clean-up on all those pieces you found. I would watch every minute! You must be pinching yourself because you are living the dream in the Old Stompin Grounds. Feeling blessed I am sure. Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope you get some rain soon.
Thanks Man,yeah,I still wag my head at that one,everytime I look at it.
Just incredible!! That is truly an amazing artifact. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Totally awesome Bud ! I'm really so happy for you if for no other reason.....to get back onto your childhood stompin grounds. The points are just a bonus ! Nice finds and I'm glad to see you getting your average up.....LOL
Yep, you're right I do love them little Beaver Lakes.....who in their right mind would'nt !
I can understand and sympathize with your knee problem....them stilts will take their toll on 'em. I finished concrete for a looonnngg time and mine aint too good either..
That blade with the long point is quite impressive. A testament to the skill of the maker.
It truly does show their skill, for a knapper to do that with bone or stone tools is really difficult.
Wow! Between that needle tipped point you found and the find of devonwaynes friend, there are some really unbelievable finds being posted on youtube. Congratulations! That was a once in a lifetime find!! Amazing! And I'd be all crazy worried about breaking it too!! :) Congrats again!

Your welcome.Its a great piece for sure.Lifetime find in my opinion,to be as fine as it is.Thanks
Killer Stuff. That Copena looking artifact is wicked ! Looks like you need some rain just like us in South East Iowa. Cheers!
I've never seen anything like it either. I bet that's not his first try at making a needle tip point. The knapper of that thing was very skilled. Great hunt FS. Field of dreams seems appropriate.

I know man.Its still in that case and rarely been toughed since its recovery.Hard to believe it survived the plow and disc for so many years.Glad its safe as can be now.
@@FlintSpall

very nice pieces buddy, what a wicked tip on that copena.

Thanks alot RH.It makes me nervous to handle it.Very danty feelin.
Amazing finds bravo
Thank You.
Rain would bring another collection out,no doubt.
LOL,,I very rarely,ever pick it up.,but I look at it often..Just amazing how it ever survived.I've never seen anything with such a tip,,ever..Find of a lifetime,no doubt..Thanks for the views and I appreciate the comment..btw,I'm gonna go look at it,but I'm not gonna pick it up,trust me.LOL
It is an exceptional place.If U walk, finding no sigh for hours,you for sure need to find a camp.GL.Some places as U know,just wasn't occupied.

Thanks Man.Appreciate the compliment.
IT IS TRULEY AMAZING
Thanks Feller,,I appreciate the view and ments

Hoo boy! Nice stuff. Hope you get a ton of rain so you can get back to that site.
so cool thanks!
It must have been loaded with caffiene,cause I hadn't slept since I found it.Those Beavers are I believe,on the border of the Candy Creek points after I finally got me a guide,which are closely related.I like em either way.Glad U enjoyed and thanks for commentin.
I would call it the Field of Dreams of my old stomping grounds that my uncle used to own
Best site I've been priviledged to trod.Thanks
Thanks Bud
That is a seed. They grow in pods. We call them buck eyes in Oklahoma. They are suppose to bring good luck. 😊
What a great find. How in the world did it stay in one piece for all those yrs? I have cable tv and could watch about anything but nothing is better than a FlintSpall video.

Thank You.Great day at the Salmander, I see.
Awesome, just awesome! What kind of hard stone have you found stomping through your dream field?
Friend. This tip is brutal. I think it would go through animals. Thanks for sharing it for my eyes. Your friend Jesus.
I agree, it would probably go through the white man too.:>) or other tribal invaders.My pleasure in sharing the recovery.
Yes it is authentic. I've done a lot of study over the years and its def authentic. He basically has a relic collection that is equal or greater than a museum, in flaked artifacts
Killer day!!!!! Yes I would say it is no doubt a extended needle tip Copena. I dug one out of river bank and sent it to Dickey and Jackson and neither would give me a paper on it.

Killer hunt man...if you don't mind me asking what part of midwest you hunt? Find alot of similar material here in indiana....love the harrisburg material!
looks like good times!! awesome day !!
+Cherokee Moon Yes sir,,,I'll never forget those kind of days,,maybe because they're usually far and few between,when something like that Copena is laying in your path.:>) Thanks
more than welcome !
That would be awesome to see.Do ya know for sure that its authentic?Even this one was a find of a lifetime.
amazing hunt sir
Posted for your viewing pleasure!!! Come on back!
I think he was trying to notch it .. look up Montels found in Texas .. we find stuff like that where they are found .. bad ass artifact man and thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info.I have a guide that I'll be sure and look into.By far, the most delicate artifact I've ever found.
PLEASE tell me you dont find this much EVERY time! I'm lucky to find flakes!!!! ughghhghgh :)
They sure are at that site!! :>)
I don't know what to say either.Its funny how,when U find things,U think of people who has found one,so U don't really feel like your by yourself.Glad U enjoyed and Hope U can find some killers soon.Thanks for the comments.
Good LORD!!!! Whatta sticker! A true artist made that, eh?
Thanks Buddy,M Brooks told me U might could help with a ? that I have. I was notified by utube that my time was increased,so this time I uploaded a 29 min vid and utube said to large,only 15 min PLEASE.Any suggestions.No prompts were given,so I'm in the dark about it.Worse case,I can still make severals parts if needed.Thanks
Do you think that knapper was just showing off. Unreal spot must have been one huge campsite
Alot of hornstone is found in most all my huntin places.I think some is Fort Payne,Harrodburg,A little Dover.Then some of the white,pinks,etc,I have no clue.As U can tell,when it gets away from Hornstone and Fort Payne,I am guessin,if I say.I've thought of your skills,since I found that point.U could prolly make one like that also.I'm not sure of the Mat.,It is tranlucent with specks,like Moss Agate or something alike.
Incredible hunt and tattooing artifact,,,Lol,,,,,There may be more out there! (IN A CACHE!!!)
I guess at some point it was possible,but not likely,due to the fact that,in that area are campsite after campsite for miles along this stretch of creek and I figure they were all the same tribe just spread out,prolly Cherokee,which was the dominant,I doubt any other tribe would have attemted battle.Could have been some civil disputes.to many tools,suited for work ,in my opinion to be a battlefield.I think they just lived there for perhaps generations.
Whenever you look for places to hunt, do you just go by instinct??? Or do you study and do research on where there were campgrounds??? My dad found tons when he worked in arkansas but we dont have much luck or time here... Hopefully are luck will changE!!!!!
I wonder if two tribes battled each other on that site??
Rain would be great.Thanks for commentin
Man you tore em up. I still cant figure out why you call it old stompin grounds because . Need to set up house on that field. 270
Sweet field great hunt some awesome points. Hh2 ya. Eej
By the way great video
Where can I buy some arrowhead seeds?
Oh I have no doubt its real, just saying that it is of such high quality that is unbeleivable!!!! KILLER!!!! Good luck!!!
Isn't it though,I'm still afraid to handle it.Its fine.
I know it was fun watching you shake !!! lol
I’m from Missouri where are you from
tn.
500 times you see that finely flaked edge protruding from the earth and you end up pulling out a chip or broken tip but there is NO feeling in the world like pulling the finely chipped edge and it just keeps coming and coming - in my case 7 inch Etley.

The most elegant points I ever saw are the finest thinest dovetails.
As usually,my first guess would be Wal-mart.
YEA BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET DONT DO IT AWESOMME WONT DO STELLAR NOWAY THAT HUNT WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!!! WAY TU HUNT MAN PIPE COMIN AXE BANNER OH NO YOU GOT ONE ALREADY WHATS NEXT IM STAYIN TUNED 4 DOVE TAIL LTR
Well those guys,same as killed your point,that stinks.U know its real.I wonder how many thinks this point is not real?I could'nt believe my eyes,but God as my witness,thats just where it was when I picked it up.And as far as I know,nobody has been in that field but me,and no modern knappers to be heard of for hundreds of miles.There may be some around,but,I wouldn't leave a piece like that,even if I could make one.Thanks.
I agree,but then again,it might have been a women that made it. NAAAHH!!!
U gotta stop that kinda talk,I can't sleep now.
