Amazing Ancient History Found on This Day

Join me as I look for and find amazing ancient artifacts from the stone age past. Not your normal Arrowhead Video.

[@sambarborek7302]

been watching your for a couple years now, and have been inspired to make a scooper sifter like yours. finally got around to making one and took it down to the arkansas river and found some great points! thanks again scott, take care!

[@cleggsadventures]

Very Nice!!👍

[@chrisburnette8693]

Where did you get your scoop?

[@cleggsadventures]

@@chrisburnette8693 I made it myself, because it had to be pretty strong. It’s great for taking along while surface hunting.

[@chrisburnette8693]

Any tips on how to make it? I’m from Gallipolis, Ohio. Right in Ohio River.

[@cleggsadventures]

@@chrisburnette8693 I wish I’d made a video of building it. Until I make a new one, you’ll probably just have to watch this video and try to copy. Make it strong, it hits a bunch of rocks. I actually cut it down in size from the original video, it was a little too wide. It’s 12” wide now. The Arrowhead Scooper Sifter? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fGiYmmoMqqaK8

[@indianasmith8152]

Nice day! Love the Big Sandy point. I have a huge one that I found back around 2004 or so that is featured in the newest edition of the Texas Monthly Field Guide to Stone Artifacts - one of the very few I've ever found. Love your videos - keep them coming!

[@cleggsadventures]

Much Appreciated! The ones I find are always sharpened way down. Hope to find a larger one soon

In flint-poor regions, the natives got every bit of use out of those points that they could. @@cleggsadventures

[@georgedouglas9342]

Great day on the river Scott! Nice finds. Thought you scored that archaic bevel when you said 10K years old lol. I've got a few of those round stones with a flat bottom in my collection as well, and not sure what to make of them. 1 has grooves worked into it to form an "X" across the top, bottom flat no grooves. Most likely an atlatl weight. The others could be gaming stones like you hypothesize. Great vid bro, I'll be watching for the next! Gl/Hh 🖒🏹

[@cleggsadventures]

Thanks George! Yeah, some of this stuff are mysteries

[@242sp]

Your game stone was most likely a grinding stone used to grind corn or acorns. Look up mano and metate, used like a mortar and pestle

[@cleggsadventures]

No, I find those as well. Found this one in a fire pit. Check it out, you’ll like this! How Old Is This Prehistoric Grinding Stone? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYWQeHyGmdqsnck

@@cleggsadventures From my experience in california working with archaeologists, you can find them all over, they would use them and toss them. We would find hundreds on sites. I've been in areas were people were using them in walls as fill in and decoration there were so many of them. Again , that was out west but human nature is human nature.

I very rarely find any large big Sandy’s. Which is a bit weird. I kinda believe graham caves and Sandy’s may be the same point in different stages

Same here, all the ones I find are resharpened.

Cool. Only Paleo i ever found was a nice Quad base. Neat to see when they mastered agriculture & got time for arts n gaming.

This is more transitional, Paleo to Archaic. I believe the “Big Sandy’s, and Daltons, were next after Clovis points.

Great finds Scott. I’ve been waiting for the water to drop. It finally did but, I woke up thinking it’s cold and wet I’m not sure I want to go out. After watching your video I’m getting dressed and heading out for a little while. Hopefully the rain last night doesn’t bring the water up too quickly.

Hey Scott. Live in Maine now but grew up in Parkersburg. Used to pound the banks of the Ohio and little kanawha rivers looking for ancient tools. Didn't know what or where to look so was limited to those pieces laying right on top. I hope there are kids out there following your lead - would be way easier following your guidelines.

I'm in Altoona PA and back around a month ago we had steady rain for nearly 3 days straight. The Little Juniata River and other small rivers nearby were basically raging rapids. I haven't gone out looking for artifacts yet but I definitely need to. I can't imagine what the rains have uncovered since then. I would assume the Ohio River down by you was high and raging. Scott, I hope you find some killer artifacts this year! And I hope I will be able to find my very first point!

I’m enrolled Nooksack, and here we have a “bone game” called “slalhall”. It’s played with deer bones, cut and marked with stripes one and two, there are a lot of pieces, I know it’s an old game …how old? I could not say?

That looks like one of those game stones that's made like that so it will roll in a circle. It's a type of Discoidal.

[@cleggsadventures]

Yeah, I don’t know

[@stevebonds4698]

Question, when your going to a different state or even your own state and area, what makes you pick that area. Do you do research first? Or just walk the banks looking for signs? I live in an area where the Chippawa's lived, but not sure where to go to look. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you and thanks for the video.

[@cleggsadventures]

Yeah, the only way is to walk and look for signs. This river (the Ohio) is good about anywhere there’s a field above and erosion.
