Arrowhead Hunting: Into The Artifact Zone! (2024)

In this video, I beat my personal best record of most points found in one day! And what a strange fog I passed through! It felt almost as if I was transported through time on the vapors of that fog. To a time when the artifacts were bountiful. I swear, I could almost feel the eyes of the natives upon me as I hunted...

Looks “First Form”! That Gary was SUPER!!!

[@meandmyshadow6269]

I think so too, Clegg. It's almost uniface. It's definitely flaked bifacially but one side is very flat. Pretty interesting point. Thanks for stopping in!

Great video,especially enjoyed watching you find the “singing blade”I went hunting yesterday and found one complete point and four pieces.I’m seventy five and my old heart shakes and shudders every time I find one.A singing blade like yours would probably put me toes up.

[@meandmyshadow6269]

I'm glad you're out there finding points, my friend! I love hearing when someone that is older and more experienced than me is still passionate and excited about the hobby. It's a big encouragement to me. Here's to many more!

[@normaferro8054]

[@RESURRECTINGRELICS]

Good eye’s . That tan material is so close to the dirt and sand color I’d probably walk right over them. I like how you told how many points you’d find at the beginning of the video! Good editing on this one. Ohhhh I just got to the 20 min goodie! Oh man that’s a beauty! Adina I’m guessing real time. That’s why we do it. I like the bank you’re hunting in this video. It seems more promising and closer to the type of stuff I hunt in this area. Looks like you found a kill spot! That one you kept walking over is nice as well! You had a resurrecting relics day for sure😂 good job Aaron!👍👍👍

[@meandmyshadow6269]

Lol, that's funny because towards the end of that day I was actually thinking, "dang, I'm starting to feel like one of the big boys in this hunt!" haha! And yeah, the way the waters had churned everything around and laid the sand out, it really did look like your kind of territory. It was a fun scenario for sure. Glad to hear from you, brother. I suppose you guys are in your off-season right now. Hope you and the family are well. You and Amanda should do some singing videos again sometime! You guys are both so talented

[@RESURRECTINGRELICS]

@@meandmyshadow6269 Yes we do need to do another singing video. We’ve been working around the house since season ended. Gotta put a 24 foot above ground pool inner in shortly and we’ve put around $4,500 in my Polaris RZR xp 1000 in the last couple months. New front differential and axles new rear axles and high clearance radius rods from super ATV . New 5-2 offset rims with tusk terabyte 32” tires, new 5k pound winch. New rear bumper. It’s pretty cool! We’re going to go spend 3 nights at Windrock park and do nothing but ride . I’ll look for points as well. Shoot I’ve still got a couple videos I could throw together from the points I found at the end of the season. I’m just so covered up in the off season it’s hard to find time for anything😂 good hearing from you and if I don’t get to watch every video everyone puts out in our off season it’s not because I’m mad or anything 😂 keep up the good work bud!👍👍👍

[@eastcoastlithics1398]

That may just be the best Gary I have EVER seen you pull 🔥🔥 I love that concept of “singing” artifacts. Today was my last day in NC. Literally the last 10 steps of our 6 day hunt and Georgia Points and I yeilded identical artifacts within feet of eachother. It is really amazing how they get you right at the end like that. Youll see in the video. Im not one to believe in spirits loosely but there is definitely something spiritual around about these artifacts we find- you probably know what I mean it’s hard to explain. I sound goofy saying it. Anyways what a crazy hunt for you man! That was definitely your best day in numbers with some quality flint fabrications factored into there 😂 T’was a video worth the 33 minute watch 💪🏻

[@meandmyshadow6269]

Thanks, ECL! I would say it's definitely in my top 3 best Gary points. It might very well be my best. Glad you liked the signing blades idea. I didn't demonstrate it very well in the video but it's hard to do it when your hands are shaking as bad as mine were, lol. I plan on making a video that shows the key that it registers when it sings. Thought it might be fun. Looking forward to your video with Georgia Points! Thanks for watching, my friend.

[@hannah0331]

1. First and foremost - WOW! You had an amazing day! I'm so happy for you! I love seeing the little excited shakes your hands get when you're picking up a point lol. 2. You dang near killed me with that Tony Lama joke. Seriously, I couldn't catch my breath. Almost had to grab my inhaler. 😅 3. You missed a prime opportunity to have a Gandalf "You Shall Not Pass" moment with that wizard staff. I even said to myself "I bet he makes a LotR reference". Guess my instincts were wrong. 😂

[@meandmyshadow6269]

Thanks Hannah! It's a perfect blend of coffee and pure elation that makes my hands shake, haha. THANK YOU for enjoying my corn-ball humor. You're the only one that mentioned the Tony Lama part, lol! You must have a refined palette for humor. :) Dude, my LotR card has been REVOKED for suuuuuure! Oh man! Why didn't I think of that? I retire to shame!

[@meandmyshadow6269]

@@user-us4lb1mb8i I'm pretty much right in that northern Caddo Culture region so it's usually my more common point. Maybe yours and mine are related through different branches of the trade routes.
