I live in southwest Ohio, in the Miami Valley and if you look down when you’re walking along a creek or by the edge of a field, I can almost guarantee you’ll find an arrowhead.

I’m in San Diego and have been looking for points for awhile now with no luck. Done research on locations but still haven’t yielded anything that I know for certain is a artifact.

In northern CA, I've found tens of THOUSANDS of knapped obsidian arrowheads and spear points. Also fishing weights, pestles, and even huge raw obsidian nodules. In Oregon's Rogue River area, I've found countless knapped agate points, mostly carnelians, etc., as well as some obsidian arrowheads.

Anyone who studies the Great Basin region and walks along the ancient lakes and river bottoms is highly likely to find points in Utah, Nevada, California, etc. The best places to look are on high ground close to ancient lake beds. Occasionally, you'll also find rings of stone on the ground, which are the remnants of family and individual shelters. A lot of large game lived in this region 10k years ago--bison, Mammoth, camels, horses, etc. The region was mostly grassland and forests back then. I luv walking this ground. Utterly quiet. Extremely serene and beautiful.

I lived in central Montana and I've been over in that area. Sometimes you can find arrowheads there if you're along a low elevation river but square mile for square mile, you're sorely mistaken if you think they're common for the whole state. Go watch my video on Part 2. I actually take a look at Montana and go on an in-depth explanation

Ever since we moved to NE Michigan (lower peninsula) 2 years ago, I've been gathering 'heart-shaped rocks' for the wife from trails, rivers, and beaches. From matchbox size to doorstop size, they're everywhere! Just saw on another vid that they're actually artifacts/tools (the notch at the top of the heart is the work of a human.) She has a great collection of them, and gets new ones often 👍

Complete nonsense. Europeans did nothing of the sort to corn. Its modern form was well established thousands of years earlier. If you went back to precontact america you'd recognize it just fine and it wouldn't taste any different

@MountainJohn 2 ай бұрын

Hi Js-wp4gs Native Americans were the first to transform teosinte-a wild grass with tiny, tough kernels-into early maize through selective breeding. Their innovations increased the cob size, kernel quantity, and edibility, making maize a staple food in the Americas. When European settlers encountered maize, they spread it globally, but it was in the United States, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, that breeding efforts intensified to create the large, sweet, yellow corn we commonly see today. American agriculturalists focused heavily on increasing the sugar content, size, and overall yield of corn through more advanced hybrid breeding techniques and eventually genetic modification. This led to the development of modern varieties like sweet corn, which are larger, have higher sugar content, and feature distinct yellow kernels. In contrast, Mexican and European maize varieties continued to prioritize hardiness and versatility for different culinary uses, rather than size or sweetness. While Meso Americans made corn into the larger and edible maize (corn) it was the European blooded "Americans" who in the 20's and 30's made "Corn" as we call it the giant yellow ultra high fructose grain we know today.

The majority of California used to be a lush marsh/grassland. With about the most fertile soil ever. Lots of game to be hunted. Tons of obsidian to be quarried in the sierras, and Monterey chert at the coast. I’ve got a friend with probably close to a hundred stone points from the California north coast around the rivers and creeks. There is plenty there if you know when and where to look. But you’re not finding piles of hundreds pouring out of an eroded river bank.

I seen this 1 in san Antonio there is a park named Eisenhower park. 4 years ago living in my vehicle I wen off a old blocked trail drove I a huge bush so I can make a number 2. Right as u lightly spaded the ground not even 1 inch I found a broken arrow head even as a child in boy scouts I never got my arrow badge bc I couldn't find one. I was that kind that always finished last just like now. I wish I could send u san Antonio flint but I can't pay the shipping.
