Edit: this is my favorite video of the past year!!!

[@christhompson6240]

One of the best Chigg videos I have seen in a long time, really enjoy the native american artifact hunting, also really enjoyed your new friend and his passion for the past.

[@AnthemBassMan]

Growing up here in eastern central Ohio, my friends and I would hunt arrow heads all the time. Especially in the spring when the farmers would disc the fields and after a light rain. You could just walk the rows, and while not letting your eyes focus on any certain spot, slowly scan from sis to side and anything sparkling. We would find bunches of arrow heads and some spear points. My one buddy found a hand hammer that was rounded on the end with finger grooves worn in. Great times and memories!

[@HorrorHound666]

Seems like a great time was had! I enjoyed this video! Some good folks it seems.

[@leeharbert1192]

Really enjoyed this episode I want to see more

[@creekgeek]

Awesome finds with some awesome people. Youre living the dream my friend.

[@richardperkins6132]

Awesome finds chigg. Great native artifacts. What a great place to dig arrow heads an other native artifacts. I'm sure its loaded with them, from what i've seen you guys are finding in the fields. I'm sure at some time that was an Indian camp at some point in time. As you know anytime there is water around they were there. It's so exciting an awesome to find those native artifacts. That have been laying there waiting to be found from thousands of years gone bye. Great video chigg. Always love finding native artifacts from many years ago. It's kind of like land, they don't make it any more. That's the real artifacts, that were made by many different native tribes hundreds an thousands of years ago around the world. Catch ya on your next adventure chigg. As always safe an happy detecting/digging.😁👍👍

[@bobalmendinger4930]

Very cool, never knew you could find artifacts that way . Sand is key ..

[@coloringwithd]

This was really cool. Nice change from just metal detecting. Thank you for sharing ♥♥♥

[@cherokeehippie]

Oh wow!!! I sooooo wish I was there with you guys finding artifacts!!!!

[@jamesferris4573]

I have only recently taken up metal detecting again. I did some back in the late 60's and early 70's. I have however hunted ancient artifacts for many years in Oklahoma. In the area I live it was not legal to dig so all of my finds were from fields that had been plowed after a hard rain, along rivers or on canyon rims. I live in Oklahoma no far from the Domebo site that dated back 11,200 years ago. The site is one of the first Mammoth kill sites where Clovis points were found among the remains. There were two intact and one broken Clovis point. There was another Clovis point and two Hyde scrapers that had been dulled by use found in a stream bed near the site. I found a Clovis point in a canyon rim but most of my large collection came from old camp sites. You can look for old homestead sites on hills near water. They are usually built on old Indian camps. I have many very small Washita Culture point that I found along rivers. After a farmer plows his field and it comes a hard rain these points are visible on the surface where a camp was. You can identify the camp sites by the large amounts of muscle shells broken in the fields. This was a stable of their diet. You can also identify a camp site by the large amounts of flakes and broken points in an area. The Washita Culture lived around 1100 years ago and made beautiful very detailed points. They are mistakenly called bird point because of their size but are in fact arrow heads that were used to bring down all game. I have Paleo points, Hyde scrapers, and stone knives as well as drills, game ball made from stone, beads, and sewing needles made from bone. I have a very large collection but I am no longer able to physically handle the strenuous walking involved. I found grave sites near camps after hard rains but I always showed respect and covered the remains up. There are those who would rob grave sites and that goes against everything I believe. That is why I would never dig even though some did. You never know where you are digging. I only picked up surface finds and I have a very large collection of perfect arrowheads, atel-atel points and spear heads, Hyde scrapers, flint knives, Celts, stone hammers, and everything imaginable used in a camp. I have garbage bags of broken points and flint chips and flakes not to mention a piece of obsedian the size of a man's head I found in a canyon. This is a very rewarding hobby and a way to learn about the past. Good luck and happy hunting.

[@joannem3568]

I'm teaching myself how to flintknap, with help from books and videos on KZbin, my husband and I hunt for arrowheads and other Indian Artifacts,,our property was an Indian reservation. Before 1887. Cool how lucky am I. Thanks for all your cool info 😎

[@jamesferris4573]

@@joannem3568 My father and uncle also hunted for ancient artifacts and my father could flint Knap very well. He would take an arrowhead he made out when we would go hunting and put it in the row in front of my uncle as a joke to see if he could fool him. Although my father was very skilled at making small Washita points my uncle who was in his 70's had hunted artifacts his entire life and was never fooled. My uncle had a collection that was very valuable and would loan points to museums. When my uncle and aunt built their new house he filled all of the flower beds with broken points. He had many 55 gallon bags of broken points he had collected over the years. We knew a farmer who had a field next to a large river. One summer he turned the earth over a foot deep with a plow. There was a mound about 200 ft. across where a Washita camp was. They would move the camp periodically for sanitary purposes and then move back. When the farmer turned the earth over it was unreal. You could see where they had fire pits. The black outline was still visible on the ground. There were areas that flint chips were so thick you knew they set right there 1100 years ago and made points. You couldn't walk across that mound without walking on bone fragments, flint chips, or pieces of muscle shell. We would walk across the entire field and take two rows each. Between my father, my uncle and myself we found around 500 points on that field not counting celts and broken points. After a real hard rain my father and I went over to hunt and walked in from the South side of the mound. We discovered the rain had washed a small ditch across the field and exposed the remains of two bodies who had been buried on their backs in the fetal position. We covered the graves back up so no one could see the grave sites. Often they buried very good points or beads with bodies and some people rob these graves. The large field where the burials were was white and shiney all summer long with broken muscle shells. It is amazing how those shells survived all those years and look like they just came out of the river. The farmer never turned the earth over that deep again and the field became like all the others along the rivers I used to hunt. My father and uncle could both identify all of the points they found and date them but I know most but I am not as knowledgeable as they were. I do have many books to identify if I have a question. Hunting in an Indian Reservation sounds like it would be fun. Did you find a lot of artifacts? You can also look around lake shores when the water level drops and in creek beds. Good Luck and I am sure you will do well. Take care and stay safe.

[@joannem3568]

Only stone artifacts so far and pieces of chert,, no arrowheads yet , only moved here 3 years ago, so , plus been hunting fields we have permission on. 😉 Thanks

[@jamesferris4573]

@@joannem3568 When I first started my uncle could spot a very small tip of a point sticking out of the ground that I had walked over. We would use broken fishing rods to flip the points or chips out of the ground so there wasn't so much bending. If you have permission in a field that is on high ground near a river go hunting after he discs the ground and it rains real hard and you will find points. 👍

[@bonesstones6584]

That's incredible considering how large that field is, to be able to pick a spot at random and find numerous artifacts. That point found by the gentleman with the gray/white hair appears to be a Stanley. If the base is bifurcated then I would say it is and would date to the archaic period, 10,000 - 3,000 years old! The dude with the bag of rocks found a really nice Yadkin.

[@laurenoreilly4140]

Great video, Chig! I find points, flakes and chunks of chert/flint in a farm field I detect in Central Illinois. I learned from you in this video how to scrape the dirt. But unfortunately, the field I’m in has so many rocks in it and the points I find are surface finds. I may try the scraping technique in an area of the field that’s not so rocky. Great finds and I hope you do more videos searching for points!

It always fun to dig up points while metal detecting! All the rocks and stones in the soil here in CT, not sure if the feeling with shovel method would work up here?

[@madbug1965]

The type of rock can also tell you if it is an artifact. I found a granite charmstone. I live in the valley and so the nearest source of granite in the foothills a hour's drive away. The valley tribes traded with the mountain and coastal tribes.

[@philipatoz]

Few people have the luxury of that kind of soft, sandy soil to look for artifacts - or ones so relatively free of rocks. I have found the best places to search for artifacts are around or just below high ground that is near a water source, as ancient people wanted to encamp near a water source - where it was also a great place to clean game. The next place I love are creeks, because, again, people cleaned game along creeks, and so, over the centuries, ever huge rainstorm has washed more and more artifacts into the creek. And the best creeks are ones with elevation changes and natural caches, as things get washed in and trapped in the cache areas.
