Arrowhead Hunting Western North Carolina #31~Creek Success Pee Dee Pentagonal~ 4/9/20

[@MicheleLHarvey]

I love this realistic view of the artifact hunt. If nothing else being out in nature is at the heart of it, being where fellow human beings lived you can feel how it must've been. The whole experience soul-satisfying. Congrats on your Guilford find. Thanks for letting us tag along!

[@ridgeraider1]

Thank you very much

[@sherriesmith2587]

Hey RR! Nice finds! I'm glad you're getting to spend some time outdoors! ...in my opinion...the BEST way to avoid ill health of ANY kind! Try not to let all the craziness get to you....we're all suffering to some degree....and we're all going to get past this! We learn more every day. .....and I'm a firm believer that knowledge will "set us free" ...so to speak! In the mean time......great vid!

[@bottomjon9933]

Loved that quartz point at the end! Still have yet to find one. It's very hard to find artifacts as we all know. A lot of time, thanks for taking us along! Loved your video! Good luck

[@ridgeraider1]

Bottom Jon Thanks I appreciate that! Check out the quartz point in this video... t kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKYf3-Fob16idU

[@HeartbreakerRelics]

Great video Jeff! Glad to see you on them in the creek now! You've been on a roll my friend! Congratulations! Stay safe and healthy up there.

[@ridgeraider1]

Heartbreaker Relics thank you sir I will be checking more potential creeks close by when it warms up a little more... however the two sister creeks as I call them that run parallel on both sides of that one haven’t produced a single thing thus far

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Enjoyed the video some lovely finds

[@ridgeraider1]

Thank you so much… Working on a new video but it’s been slow lately

[@TheDeadsilence2]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos! Very cool to see how different points are from different areas in North Carolina. I’m in central North Carolina and we don’t find much quartz stuff, very cool! Have you ever thought about doing a walk around of your collection? Many of us N.C. guys would be thrilled to look at them!

[@richardkjelsrud242]

The ditch walker videos gave me a few clues as well I had a conversation with him as well. I live in the high Red desert of Wyoming never looked in the drainages but I know were 10 creeks that flow into the desert. As soon as the snow melts I think I'll give them a try. Great video. Got that creek bed eye quickly.

[@ridgeraider1]

Let me know how you do... and good luck

[@pinebeltrelics8055]

Congrats bro!!! Some really nice finds and it looks like you’re doing quite well in the creek to me!! To come away with an artifact you seek is a successful hunt in my book!! Keep on em bud and Bol!! 👍

[@ridgeraider1]

PineBeltRelics doing my best I hope y’all are well down there... I got a few more creeks in mind to try but so far the ones in the area around that one hasn’t produced anything yet... happy hunting fellas👍

[@danielcollins9850]

I live in eastern Kentucky and creek walking here is tough. It’s really hard to find a good creek here I don’t know anyone who walks creeks for arrow heads. now western Ky is a different story I’ve seen many good videos from that part of the state but I won’t give up even if I have to walk them all. Great video my friend keep it up.

[@ridgeraider1]

Thanks man it’s good to meet somebody that understands how tough it is in certain areas...

[@thornehauser9511]

Hey bud just started watching your channel and quickly becoming a fan. I'm from Johnston County NC in the south central (eastern) part of the state. I have family in Hot Springs NC didnt know how close that was to where u hunt

[@ridgeraider1]

@@thornehauser9511 about an hour and a half I think…. How is the hunting in Johnston co? Probably lots of rhyolite and quartz?

[@thornehauser9511]

@ridgeraider1 lots of quartz. As a matter of fact I have only ever found quartz points. My dad found an axe head made out of another type of rock as well as a few other points but I have no idea what type of rock. Quartz is just easy to identify lol that's y I know what it is lol

[@ridgeraider1]

@ I find an Axe about a month ago… but it will be in the video after next… I have basically a complete video now but need to tread on it some… I’ve had several good finds lately

[@brianthebuckleywoodsman7869]

Awesome creek hunt bud. Congrats!!! GR8 vid...fantastic recoveries n love the Rambo shout out 🤣. 👊🏻

[@ridgeraider1]

Brian* Buckley Woods Man thank you so much I didn’t think anybody would get my Rambo at all!🤣 I appreciate the comment and best wishes to you

[@raidermike3244]

Sweet finds👍. Sure is cool video man, love the creek finds👊

[@ridgeraider1]

Raider Mike thank you much appreciated we had a big flood yesterday and last night maybe I’ll get back in there this week👍

[@VirginiaFlintknapper]

If you're finding that much in that creek, there's much more in there. My buddies at Seneca relics took me to one of their WV creeks over a year ago and I learned quite a bit from them. Now I have a creek here in Virginia that is starting to produce a few artifacts. We're about an hour and a half away from you and over the years I've found a few Guilfords over here. It's interesting to see what you're finding. Thanks for the video. I'll be watching for your next one!

[@ridgeraider1]

VirginiaFlintknapper Thank you so much I’m still learning the creek... The elevation here is so steep it makes it hard for them to produce but I’m getting close on getting some things figured out... thanks so much for the comment... best wishes and stay healthy

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Awesome finds! I too have not had a lot of luck in streams. Don't know how people adjust their eyes to sort through all that stone! Great job. How exciting!

[@ridgeraider1]

Susan Ferko thank you! I’m trying some other creeks I have my eye on soon

[@georgeowen7486]

Congratulations on the creek finds ! They seem to be very hard to come by here in western N.C I've only found 1 in a creek (quiet by accident) Those are some other good finds. Stay healthy and good luck hunting.

[@ridgeraider1]

George Owen Thank you...much appreciated stay healthy as well and good luck👍

[@gg9119]

I enjoyed the its better then fighting over toilet paper at walmart comment. Keep up the great work!

[@ridgeraider1]

Much appreciated thank you

[@gettintothapoint9769]

At 5:42 is that a shark tooth to the immediate left???? Congrats creek hunting is my favorite!!!

[@thornehauser9511]

Those round based points are so cool to me. They are pretty popular(as far as points go lol) in my area

[@alanbartley4260]

To your left in front of the Guilford point you found was another point. Don't know if you saw it or not. I can spot them really good. I've been looking arrowheads for over 60 years. I Enjoy your video's and good point hunting. God Bless!

[@ridgeraider1]

Alan Bartley thanks I’ll look for it

[@bobbylee7801]

I seen it too. I think it's from Alabama

[@eaglebeakarrowheads1972]

Congratulations on your creek finds!! I live in an area were you can find arrowheads in nearly every creek and stream and still know many people who can't find one. Can definitely understand why it is a big deal to you . Good Luck!

[@ridgeraider1]

Tim Stokes I have been in many creeks but this one is the first one that I have found any evidence in however I do have a few others in mind that I’ve not tried yet that have sites in around them maybe they will produce...Thanks for the comment and best wishes

[@183charlesspiva]

Really great! I'm just a few miles south in extreme N.E. Ga. and you are correct on the finds in the creeks being hard to come by here, for whatever the reason. I've got maybe two dozen full points, and have probably six or more hours in each one, probably more. Points are just harder to come by here than in the Midwest, the terrain is the controlling factor, along with lack of suitable easily knapped material. Be happy, you're doing good!

[@ridgeraider1]

Charles Spiva thank you so much! I agree 100% on the material and on the terrain/elevation being a contributing factor... but I do believe there’s some stuff to be found you just have to be a lot more selective on the creek... Best wishes to you and stay healthy👍

[@timbumgarner1207]

Congratulations on your finds. I'm in Haywood County NC, I can't find anything here

[@ridgeraider1]

Keep looking you’ll hit on something…. Best of luck thanks for the comment

[@christianarcheologyarrowhe2200]

Enjoyed ur video congratulations on ur finds👍

[@ridgeraider1]

Thank you so much

[@JohnWilliams-ow4so]

Id have to check my books but the snall ones definitely some sort of bird point, ive got some great spots here in central nc, great video

[@ridgeraider1]

John Williams thank you sir... i’ve never looked central North Carolina.. do you look mostly in fields?

[@JohnWilliams-ow4so]

@@ridgeraider1 yes mostly fields theres alot of nice creeks but a big hit and miss until i locate a good area

[@kimharrison888]

Awesome finds!!!!🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

Definitely a good day in the creek ! And to me it's a big deal . That uniface point is nice , I might call it a White Springs . Flat on one side and convex on the other is a characteristic of that type .

[@ridgeraider1]

ALABAMAHEADHUNTER That’s interesting I’ll have to look that one up while I’m on familiar with it...I hope you’re well sir and I wish you happy hunting... thanks so much for the comment👍

[@indiantrace371]

Buddy! West, good to see you out making an effort. My hunts today blew my mind! Streams have "sites" too? Do I have this right? Good day is relative... and I also believe it is older than Yadkin. I DEFINATELY am NOT staying inside the house!! Things will all change as fast as it has happened... just watch. I still do not know how in the world you dig them up!!

[@joannhenry3551]

Glad you saved him joe!

[@ridgeraider1]

He’s doing fine…👍

[@droidv1]

Hello I am watching from Western Maryland 👋🏻 We are not too far, I am still looking for my first native American artifact

[@ridgeraider1]

Best of luck to you

[@RockHunterMark]

lots of great finds good job

[@ridgeraider1]

RockHunter Mark thank you still got my head down👍

[@bje2920]

Very nice finds I'm just over the mountain from you in south Carolina I Love to walk creeks but find more pottery than points my best find was a hole gorget

[@ridgeraider1]

BOE e thank you... I hope to get better at the creek walking... Stay healthy and happy hunting

[@wadoman699]

Nice creek. I think that little black one is a reworked Dalton.

[@richardflora5173]

The one that you called the yadkin is a pee dee it's a five sided point, comes from the yadkin PD River start something wilkesboro North Carolina cuz the Winston-Salem comes through Rowan county and eventually comes out below Charleston South Carolina.

[@ridgeraider1]

Yes I know now… very rare point in the mountains… that’s the reason I called it a Yadkins at first but realized it once I had done some research that’s the only one I’ve ever found around here…Been looking since the 70s

[@johns4584]

I know this is an older video, but nice finds!

[@ridgeraider1]

Yes… people seem to like this one… I’m glad I started searching in that creek because it became a game changer later

[@jawanhunt7764]

The first piece you found looks a bit similar to pottery shards. Pee Dee area commonly known for river clay pottery findings from the late and Great PeDee Nation who lived along the river, creeks and estuaries of the Great Pee Dee, and little Pee Dee rivers

[@jwatkins9520]

@17:00 looks to be a woodland atlatyl point?

[@stephenkirby5719]

Has iny one found arrowheads in the clay an Cherokee county nc that's far west nc ??

[@ridgeraider1]

Yes sir…check out my friends channel History Hound Detecting… I believe you will like it… good luck 👍

[@jaystrock613]

I found some arrowheads in WNC where they had done some logging. I started to notice some quartz flakes and started looking for quarts arrow heads. I think I found several.

[@rameyhankins7651]

Looks like a point right to the left of where you put your first find down?

[@rameyhankins7651]

Have you ever tried a wire mesh screen sifter for your sites?. Worth a shot. Looks like excellent spots to sift either digging bars or in creek itself. Keep looking!!!

[@jaystrock613]

I live near Assville NC. Some of your into video looks familiar. Linville gorge?

[@ridgeraider1]

Never really looked the Linville Gorge... but did use a pic from there in intro

[@danafredrickson42]

ive never seen one with a round base before thats different.you have alot of quartz ones there thats cool

[@ridgeraider1]

Much appreciated thank you

[@jeffreyelliott622]

I might be wrong but that looks like a complete arrowhead at 5'32 beside the one you laid down !!!!

[@barrett_stock1]

is this the Stanley creek? I live on it and this looks very similar to it

[@ridgeraider1]

No… where is Stanley Creek?

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

Very good my friend. Good hunting. I like the lens. Its pretty. Congratulations

[@gettintothapoint9769]

That black one looks like a Dalton!!

[@rockyriveroutdoors9229]

I also can't seem to get anything from the creeks here in nc..

[@485princess]

I live in Hendersonville. Have any of you looked around here?

[@ridgeraider1]

No I haven’t but I’ve heard that the Mills River area is a good place to search

[@mikegrabosky4467]

I live here too, I found a few. Apple orchards and any other fields have them around here. I want to walk Cane Creek in Fletcher.

[@chasejohnson1512]

Pause on 6:24 and look at the rock in the bottom right lol most likely nothing but it caught my eye😂

[@davidwilson2581]

16:13 there was a killer point in the middle of the screen all you could see was the tail and two ears sticking up

[@bigdonniebrasco]

I see what you are looking at!

[@sunrisechaser4796]

That's rambo dude .

[@baileyvest3574]

Awesome video!! I live in Moore co , we need to get together and go looking brother!!!

[@bigdee1611]

Where do you look? I live in Richmond county myself.

[@nakoawarrior3186]

In Ohio there were atlas's from the 1800's as per county thousands of stories. There you could do the same thing they gave exact locations of villages.

[@jeffmiller9206]

That point is a Pee Dee pentagonal. Woodland period.

[@showmesasquatch3623]

woop creeker 2

[@fload46d]

The black one was a quickly made point.

[@ericbryant9528]

I'm not sure if anyone else see the eged point under the gijoe were hes holding the white point

[@danieldavis4359]

it cuda washed in from anywhere

[@stevenbradford6824]

Hey I’m in Winston Salem Can I meet you out there some weekend?

[@ridgeraider1]

Steven Bradford man I’ve got all this time on my hands now but no where to look! Do you have any places I’m fresh out? It’s been frustrating last two weeks

[@johnthornton4266]

I'm in Winston-Salem and really want to go arrowhead hunting. I would love to meet up with you guy's. I may have some spots to look.

[@jeffmiller9206]

I’m talking about that black one at 10:30

[@ridgeraider1]

Yes... I agree however I didn’t know what it was at the time... I had to look it up I’ve never found one of those before...We just don’t see those here in my area

[@donaldscott7279]

What's the GPS i'll help you out

[@wmickinley]

Ever in Macon hit me up

[@zebsanford9700]

Anyone else notice the doe tracks?

[@richardnunley7351]

Definitely hey Dalton

[@paulmiller676]

We got coronavirus lndians had small pox we gave them that to

[@cecilbennett5403]

You need a shorter and less grandiose entro - l almost cut it off thinking that'd you'd be some ego hound kid with too big an opinion of himself that l wouldn't be able to tolerate. Other than the weird sounds before a picture it was a pretty good video, you seem like a nice guy with a working knowledge of arrowheads. But seriously, tone down and shorten your entro and l believe you'll get more subscriptions - including mine.

[@ChrisJohnson-ff6bm]

This makes me sick to my stomach
