Arrowhead Hunt 4 27 2012

[@chrisg4161]

Awe PURTY!!!! You had the prayer chain and fingers crossed, nice. so grateful to find folks finding and sharing with us all!!

[@jarmyvicious]

Digging up the past... you sure found some sweet artifacts! Thanks for sharing those several years ago... Cheers!

[@FlintSpall]

My pleasure for sure.Thank you

[@AesculusPavia]

Now that is a "center of the case" kind of point if I ever saw one! They just don't get much better than that...especially out of a field. Gotta love material on the little killer with the ear ding too. Congrats on all of those finds, and thanks for taking us along for the thrill of the hunt!

[@wadoman699]

Great finds, FS! Beautiful point. Wish we still had those moldboarded fields out here. Great video, buddy.

[@anthonyrummer3839]

i am 17 yrs old and just the other day my dad and me went arrowhead hunting right down the road from us we live in middle georgia and just the other day we went lookin its been forever since we have and within 5 min of lookin i found a complete qwarts arrowhead its about an inch and a half well its the first full one i found and startin young is gunna help me have a great collection i appreciatte how you work and how much fun you and i both feel about this sport well good luck hunting..

[@rockheadOH]

Just wanted to tell you I received it and gave it to her yesterday and she loved it (but I already knew she would ! ) Thanks a million Bud ...it's beautiful

[@FlintSpall]

No problem.Maybe it'll make her smile every time she looks at it.:>)

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks,,Campsites will always be near water,whether,creeks,rivers,springs,etc.,but not at a level that has flood potential.If its a good site,things can be found year after year.

[@daveasocrazy]

Ive watched this video many times over the years. Thats got to be my favourite point on KZbin. Awesome!!

[@FlintSpall]

One of the more memorable days afield.Pretty as ever but still don't have a clue about the material type.Maybe someday I'll let a pro look at it and see if they have a WAG.:>) Thanks

[@lisa1769]

I am so thankful for these videos! Gives me my fix when I cant get out hunt. ;)

[@scupstatedigger4635]

Looking at a few of your earlier videos and I sure did enjoy this one. What a great point.

[@FlintSpall]

+SCUpstate Digger Its one of those points that actually looks much better off the ground,whereas a lot of points look their best in the dirt.LOL Thanks

[@billyjohnson6355]

Wow talk about a blast from the past ,that big slough gets better ever time I watch this video and its been 10 years,great video

[@FlintSpall]

Yeah man,,I have vivid memories of that day and that find.Such a thrill in the moment, but nothing like capturing that on video for the archives.:>) Thanks

[@Paleoman52]

That point was beautiful and so well made. There is nothing wrong with having lots of passion for the things you enjoy and misty eyes are a sign of true appreciation and admiration for such a beautiful point. That was so cool sharing that moment with you when you made that full pull. -Paleoman52-

[@kidjetrecon7153]

Grateful to have come across this site. Nice finds. I have a piece of ground that gives up 5 to 15 pieces a year can’t imagine if it was completely turned over.

[@FlintSpall]

As with any site that had occupation, or travel routes from their travels, I have to believe the best has yet to be found.Keep on searching.GL& Thanks for stopping by.

[@kidjetrecon7153]

FlintSpall thanks for your fast response will be subscribing to your site I’ve never sent any pics through UTube but would love to show my latest find I’m around Des Moines Ia on a old camp site looking down on the Des Moines river south of Red Rock Dam every find gives me good old goose bumps and the energy to walk or search another 20 miles. I found a drill point about six inches with hand grip attached it’s made out of Burlington flint goes from 1 inch to 3/8 almost 6 long with grip that is four inches broken at the grip but the tip of drill looks like it has probably been reworked. If whole it could’ve been one of my best finds ever I’m 58. I also found a paleo 9 inches thirty yards from that piece about 10 years ago after doing exactly what you said about going that extra distance I did quite the jig that day. It’s very rare. I’m waiting for the flood waters to recede kayaking around Lake Red Rock should be one of the best hunts since 1993. Keep on hunting.

[@FlintSpall]

@@kidjetrecon7153 Sounds like your area was rich in occupation in the day.I've seen lots of stellar artifacts from some Iowa utubers.,who walk cricks.:>) In my area its creeks.lol Those pieces you speak of would be unusually large for my area in Tn.,,but I'm still looking for em.:>) GL & be careful in those flood waters. Yall have been devastated out west, while we've had 2 one inch rains since mid march.Dry as a bone and already in the mid 90's daily.

[@Hopewellmj]

That absolutely blows me away! incredible finds but that rainbow monster is unbelievable! wow, congrats and thanks for the show!

[@FlintSpall]

The most watched video I've ever made.It was a day to remember.I've had several days to remember,but that one ranks in the top five for me,mainly based on that particular piece.

[@WAGONJON]

Nice points you found there. Like you said, just a little further. The grass can be green if someone watered it like you did. Finding that sweet point and all. :) Thanks for showing us your finds!

[@RelicDog]

I know it's 3 years later, but I had my fingers crossed for ya - DANG!!! That point is GORGEOUS!!!!! And I'm only 1/3 of the way through this video! Congrats on that point - that's one a fella would never forget. I'll bet you saw that in the dirt in your dreams....heck, I bet I do tonight!!

[@FlintSpall]

Nodejavu Got the instant shakes over that one.:>) I've found a bunch of artifacts,but I love walking up on them that causes such a reaction.:>) Thanks

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

Some how I never watched this video ? I think it was made before I subbed . It is truly amazing what CAN come out of plowed fields . For years that's all I ever hunted and I have some amazing artifacts that have turned up. Oh yeah , that Dovetail is just absolutely beautiful .

[@1431trish]

wow...that was fun...thanks for taking us with you :) Ive never found an arrow head. My little brother is a diehard arrow head hunter. Just think whats in the ground that you CANT see....

[@alexwhittaker9431]

I lived in Florida for a while and used to hit the deer woods and fan in the rivers. Never found anything as nice as that. Congrats! Great days hunting!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks.I too have found lots of artifacts,but the nicer things are few and far between.Breathe taking thrill when a man does come across one though.:>)

[@alexwhittaker9431]

I was stood over there looking after a storm in a field and a friend of mine told me not to move. He bent down and picked up three almost identical 2" yellow translucent Hernando points, all in perfect condition, from under my feet. I know you put a premium on not being a baby about it but that one stung. Keep up the good work.

[@FlintSpall]

Alex Whittaker In all honesty,,,I might not have showed my baby side at the time,if I could reframe,but inwardly I'd probably never recover.:>) I really don't know how I'd react to that.I suppose I would jokingly tell folks that were that close,to spread out,your crowding my space.

[@greatbasinman]

Enjoying your hunts!!! Nice points, what a killer Kirk!!! Really like your insitu's before you pick em up!!!

[@FlintSpall]

Glad it fed your memory,I still feast on it myself.Great Hobby,and U are exactly right,if the young would take an interest,It will forever,stick with them.Can't count the times,that maybe things were'nt well in life,and go stomping,lookin for points,was a worthwhile getaway,instead of a quick fix,like most induldge in.Thanks for the comments.

[@xXHSharpXx]

I've been spending a lot of time walkin creeks, got a few but nothin much to compare to your finds. great videos

[@FlintSpall]

well congrats! You may become addicted if your not careful.:>) Its highly addictive.I'd say the material is only common to a region within a certain radius in the west.While tribes actually done trading of such,to find an artifact made of foreign material,would be rare.Sounds like maybe some type of agate.I know obsidian and basalt,are native in that area.I'm sure theres many more types I'm unaware of.Sounds pretty,everybody likes translucent things.Good Luck finding your next one.

[@kidjetrecon7153]

FlintSpall I’m hooked myself even if I’m 5 years behind this video.

[@pestleman1951]

You know FS that nice little stubby one almost has flutes.Is it ground at all ?? Your killer even has a little Donnaha tip !!! Very spectacular find !!!

[@BandRocks2011]

I crossed my fingers for you! I have been in that situation before. Glad it came out great. Congrats

[@EvaHunter55]

I never get tired of watchin this video...good job!

[@JRbearpaw]

Wow what a day! Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing

[@TheTexn]

Reminds me of many a Sunday afternoon down on the Frio River in Uvalde County, Texas. Waterholes along this wet weather river always produced enough finds to keep young boys looking and out of trouble.

[@plywood75]

those plows have been avoiding it just for you. Nice point. congrats. i Have found some nice obsidian points that have been plowed hundreds of times and have though about how lucky i am to have found that. good job buddy

[@kingalbert300]

Holy Cow! WOW that ARRROWHEAD IS A BEAUTY!!!!

[@The09po0]

Amazing find, that big whole one. Just amazing

[@FlintSpall]

Yes sir,,premature call on my part.,,I corrected that call on the next day after looking farther..Its the first significant one that I've found.Thank You!

[@creekdalton]

I think somehow I missed this last year, but I found it now and wow...what an awesome point!

[@FlintSpall]

actually it was 2 yrs ago,,2012.I found the first of the 2 best dovetails I own,the next day.:>) That point btw,is a Big Slough,not a Kirk.

[@artifactman660]

oh yea your right as rain,you gota walk every single row.thanks for posting and congrats on your finds!

[@sonoratimky]

Awesome, awesome hunt Brother! That is one SICK point...congrats!

[@pestleman1951]

DUDE you gotta LOVE IT when a plan comes together !!!!

[@billyjohnson2814]

Can never get enough of watching this video is awesome nice big Slough hope you put some more videos on soon

[@FlintSpall]

Yeah man,One of my best memories of hunting artifacts.I just hope something gives that will prompt the farmers to turn ground again.

[@earthsciteach]

I really enjoyed your video. Hope you've had many more days like this since then!

[@FlintSpall]

Patrick Murphy Thanks,glad ya liked the vid.Fortunately,I've had many great outings and finds as well,since that video.

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Bud,Check out the next days find(The Dove).By the way,after lookin a little closer,I've determined this piece was A Big Slough,It had a bulb like base,unlike the more square cornered kirks.I hope to bring more.Come again

[@jdneill69]

Sweet hunt man....nice score on a killer piece!

[@SirSlappyDogg]

Still got goose bumps! Nice sir!

[@bocable5695]

Man!!! thats a awsome Big Slough!!!! great job!!!!!!

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

Que hermosas puntas encuentras. yo nunca he buscado en los terrenos de cultivo. aqui es semidesertico y siempre busco en los llanos donde se junta agua cuando llueve. pero los campos de cultivo se realizan donde tambien fue llano, quiere decir que ahi tambien puede haber. Buen aprendizaje.felicidades.

[@FlintSpall]

Not sure how to translate into english, but Thanks anyway, I think.:>) Been fortunate to find some real beauties they left behind.

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

@@FlintSpall THANKS FRIEND. PERFECT. THAT YOU STILL HAVE LUCK AND ENJOYING THIS ACTIVITY.

[@FlintSpall]

A killer point or knife,is a killer point or knife,WHERE EVER its found,and I've only ever surface hunted,and I too,have found some KILLERS.Thanks sis.Ever considered sharing your finds with us?

[@kingalbert300]

Where ya from, im from la crosse WI and the snow is just starting to melt off the fields. THe only arrowheads we have are allegedly Chert, Flint, and Quartsite

[@FlintSpall]

Thank You,I'm still lookin at it,everytime I walk by my table

[@FlintSpall]

Pretty sure thats my first Big Slough.inch and a half by three and a quart.I was tickled.Thanks Tim.GL

[@neralich]

Beautiful Needle tipped KILLER! Man, you killed it out there,,Congrats!!!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Buddy.heck of a year!!!

[@pestleman1951]

A Donnaha tip I think is when tip narrows very rapidly and the sweeps up in a tiny sharp tip like would happen if the very tip broke off and you re-sharpened it to a very sharp point but didn't feather it down gradually but left it a little blunter than you would expect a point to be but with a little sharp stabby tip on it. In the front of most Overstreets there is diagrams of Distal End types and it is in there.And I don't know if pure Paleo on your stubbie but TRANS maybe ??? Got the look !!!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks,after loolin closer,I believe its my first Big Slough.Appreciate the view and comments

[@FlintSpall]

U know Pm,that stubby is ground but only in the center of the base.Are u thinkin Paleo?I have found a small Beav.Lake there b4.What exactly is a Donnaha Tip?

[@FlintSpall]

Thank You Sir,I appreciate the comments.

[@FlintSpall]

It's believe that they were made when indians used an atlatal for spear throwing,which was a counter weigh for prolonged accurate throws,while some bannerstones were used also,for the same purpose,but as time passed,boatstones and bannerstones became mainly ornamental.

[@merlit]

What a killer find - greetings from Denmark

[@xXHSharpXx]

What a great hunt. Amazing finds

[@FlintSpall]

As I heard a commentator say once,"You can believe whatever u want,but of course, if u want to be right,you'll have to view it my way"LOL.I've used that alot,but jokingly.Thanks again RH

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Bud,one of the best on the year,the next day,I found a 3 5/8 Dovetail,in the field that I was debating leaving this one to go to,but I made that vid.private after a little while,due to me showing my son,and now he's camera shy:>) I still have the vid though. The find in this vid., actually was a Big Slough,not a kirk

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks for the kind comments.glad u enjoyed.Come again.FS

[@pestleman1951]

Yep , I'd holler BINGO on Big Slough if it were mine !!! Great call !!! Knew that base was unfamiliar to me in Kirks.

[@osageriverfool101]

Great video and even greater find

[@FlintSpall]

All the places I hunt are near a water source,else they would never camp there for any amount of time,unless a water source is there.maybe a small overnight expedition,where they could carry enough water to last them,but never a main stay.they camped near rivers,creeks,springs,and even swamps,even on ridge tops that had access to water close by.

[@FlintSpall]

Thank You,It really made a nice display piece.FS

[@TXROCKHOUND900]

Thx for gettin me through this no hunting time!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks CF,I like it a great deal.Big Slough,1st for me.

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Buddy,Congrats on your find.My understanding is that,there's lots of quartz in Ga.I would prolly consider hunting and collecting points,more as a hobby,rather than a sport,although diligent hunting will give you a workout,LOL

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks,I appreciate ya watchin.

[@ravingrocks]

Awesome, awesome point! I love the color banding. Keep posting vids and leaving comments, then when the rulers of KZbin find you worthy they grant you longer vid uploads.

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Bud,,I called it a kirk in the vid,but its obvious,that its a BS,,first one for me,and what a piece.beautiful color,have no clue what kind,never found another like it.

[@FlintSpall]

I made reference to u ,about you appreciating everything you find.I hate the wind spoiled it.As always,enjoy your vids and appreciate your finds.Nothing like findin them yourself.GLTY.FS

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks AFM,Glad you enjoyed.Check the Dove the next day.

[@musicmanhotrod]

yep...i watched it again! KILLER find man!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks.One of the more exotic materials I've ever found here.Not found another like it and been at it a good long time now.:>) Dem Feshionals would tell me what material it is whether they knew for sure or not.:>) It may be MoKite.lol

[@musicmanhotrod]

@@FlintSpall lol...probably is!🤣😂🤣

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks BC,Perhaps it was an unbelievable find,but I know its real,and an exceptional piece,I found it,right where the vid showed,just like that.It was a shocker to me also,but nevertheless 100% Real and Real Insitu to go along with it.Thanks again!!

[@danafredrickson9718]

wow! that is awesome!!!!! congradulations!! what you said about going a little further... that'll preach. i think ill tell my pastor that one. ty that hit me❤️

[@FlintSpall]

glory to God for it all.

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Buddy,But tell me, which Dovetail U talkin about?I did find one the next day,in another field,but I chose to withdraw it publicly,after a little while.Did I send it to U?BTW,This piece in the vid,I called a kirk,but I'm persuaded its a Big Slough 1 1/4 x 3 1/4

[@rogerstill1626]

you Are awesome and I Hope you find many more! happy trails

[@FlintSpall]

+Roger Still Thank you sir,same to ya!

[@rockheadOH]

I'll be darned.....I think you may be right. I had to go back and take another look, and nothiced the rounded corners on the base and the overall shape again. I'd say real nice anyway.

[@TheTnrelichunter]

Allright way to go FS what a beautiful point much deserved point for you glad ti see you score a very nice point. wish you the best of luck on the next trip. Billie thetnrelichunter

[@FlintSpall]

Thank You and as always,your welcome.sorry if I should not reply,sometimes the comments doesn't show up in my inbox,donno why.So i miss some comments.

[@FlintSpall]

Man thats to bad,really.I'll try and bring more.Thanks for watchin and commentin.

[@FlintSpall]

You betcha,,,we all like when that happens..Thanks

[@daynehudek]

wow!!! nice find man... that thing is b.e.a.uuuutiful..

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Man,Hope to make some more vids soon.Same to ya!

[@FlintSpall]

I'm pretty sure its a Big Slough. I called it a kirk in the vid.,but I was wrong.Its a beauty! Thanks

[@BushMania4]

HEy flintspall! I was wondering what part of the states this is in??? i havent had much luck in my area :( one point a hammerstone and some broken pieces and flakes.....

[@c1252]

That biggest point looks like a big slough! Is it for sale?

[@FlintSpall]

Its possible,yet I don't own a Dalton,just don't find them here,so I'd say its either a Lost Lake or a Dovetail.Thanks

[@pointseeker]

its amazing to think how many times that dodged the plow

[@FlintSpall]

Thank You.

[@primitivehunter18]

i want to get back at it (arrowhead hunting) that is soon will let u know when and will post the vid

[@joannparker1977]

Amazing finds!

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks,appreciate it.

[@jackicomber8534]

Would love to do what you do! awesome finds

[@rogerstill1626]

i cherish every peice i find as Do you. i only wish i new the history behind them.

[@FlintSpall]

+Roger Still I kinda wonder if I think to much of them sometimes.:>)I spend a lot of time searching,but try to keep it an enjoyable hobby as much as possible.Don't know much about the history of a particular find,whether it was lost,discarded,hurled at game or human,,etc.,but having done some flint knapping,I do recognize some of the challenges they faced when working stone.

[@rogerstill1626]

+FlintSpall . its my favorite pass time and i also nap. thats i apreciate all the work they put in to make them and get way too excited when i find One

[@anthonyt3872]

Roger Still the shape tells all! The eagle/hawk shaped one's are special though

[@SuperJammygit]

how the hell do they survive intact ,im amazed,,i had my fingers crossed

[@WAGONJON]

Super finds and killer Etley? :)

[@FlintSpall]

Thanks Bud,I'll look at it.

[@lisa1769]

True Story! :) I mainly surface hunt also. Like to walk the creeks, but the mountain lion sightings have put a fear in me. I dont video, only take in-situ photos. Maybe one day I'll give it a go. =)

[@FlintSpall]

I think so to,could'nt keep my eye off it last night.

[@Treasurehunter4life]

congrats!! that is a sweet point!!

[@FlintSpall]

Your welcome,the pleasure was all mine:) Yeah,Thats prolly why I can't sleep at night,thinking about whats in the ground:)My guess is,even with what the plow brings up,the bigger remains stubborn and shy,due to weight,and just rolls over,instead of being brought to the surface.Just a theory.Thanks
