Very very nice looking finds

[@samcook2196]

Heartbreakers !

[@thepeopledownriver9948]

Nice Madison point guys, its always rewarding digging up a good one.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks man!

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

With that perfect of a water source, and that flat ground, that's probably a village there.

[@ZachByrd]

I think so too. We just have to figure out how big it was. It's going to take time but I truly believe we will eventually find some stellar stuff here.

[@MikeMcInroe]

Got to get the rakes out and clear the leaves off of that awesome honey hole....very nice video there guys! Mike in sunny central Florida.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Mike!

[@Pwrcritter]

Nice. Reckon its an ancient camp site Or staging area. I'd set up closer to the spring where it first flattens out after u go up.

[@relichogs4652]

Nice site! Better root around there good!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks man

[@JBellTx]

I get so emotional every time I find something. It’s a feeling like no other. Just watching y’all makes me feel it. Lol I’m SO HAPPY for your finds. And, Zach, I keep everything too. If it’s worked, it comes home with me. PS- high, level ground, out of the flood plain is always a great place to look. I would dig everywhere out there.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks so much. That's what we've been doing. Bouncing around a lot.

[@davidclark2046]

I'll tell ya right now brother my 3 cases have just as many broke points as they do whole ones...the way I see it they ain't around to make the points to get broken anymore so I keep it all...I've got individual bags of flint flakes from all my sites..anyway keep diggin and postin..good luck and happy huntin to yall

Cool video cool spot I'm a bottle Digger and I took my niece with me one time to an early dump I found up in Jersey I was just doing my thing as usual when all the sudden my niece said to me you say that about everything and I said what do I say about everything she said I say that would have been nice and then I explained to her yes all these things would have been nice if they were complete😉

Man I knew there was stuff up on the hill around that. Just scratched the surface. Literally. Lol. That quartz one was a smoker. There’s gonna be a lot more to come. Best of luck.

[@sonnypate6808]

That big Rick at the spring definitely is a ancient work bench. They used those to shape and sharpen axes, celts and especially bone tools like awls, needles and bone fishing hooks among others. In 57 years of hunting and digging artifacts I've never see on that large. That almost always means a very large village site and multi cultural spanning hundreds or more likely thousands of years. You need to go back up that hill and dig some test pits. I believe that's where the bulk of the village was located. You done got a killer site.👍☮️😁 ( ROCK)

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks man. This was my suspicion as well. Thanks for the insight!

[@sonnypate6808]

@@ZachByrd Just one more thing. When you go up the hill look for large fire pits. They'll have sandstone that has turned reddish and will be broken at 45° angles. This is the village center. Then work your way out from there. Good luck brother, not that you're going to need it.👍☮️

The main villager sleeping area would be further back on one of your flat spots you pointed out in my opinion I'm not an expert but I got a few sites and right next to the springs before you going to find that stuff close

Man, I wouldn't wanna go home either! We don't have many sandy locations like that in this region. It's all clay; The silt left over from the glacial Lake Agassiz. I know there was Native American activity in this region but I've no idea what they would've used for points or where it might be found.

you're on'em bud. looks like you'll find points anywhere you put your shovel. I'll bet the grave digger and the irrigation guys in your area have a mighty collection... Go deeper!

[@janethuffman5280]

I very been hunting for 40 yrs. I like to use hand held garden rakes. Less chance breaking anything

[@CalvinsCorner72]

At 6:33 that could be a punch for leather or a tool they used to make pottery groves with.

[@pastmasters9591]

I would be on the nearest flat area closest to the spring. That's likely where their camp was

[@chrisclemmer809]

Probably find more artifacts on high ground and more points up to an 1/8 mile away from hunting surrounding area around spring.

[@lundysden6781]

thats a great spring site! Stay within 50yds of the spring.

[@joshferg5073]

Man that is awesome that big rock in the spring with all the notches scratched in it are for straightening arrows I would definitely try to find a better digging technique that place is a Arrowhead goldmine that place was a Native American settlement

[@Dougarrowhead]

That spring is really cool. That is a lot of water coming up out of the ground.

[@stormieclifford1341]

I have found several of those rocks that looked like a person on sites with artifacts. You held that rock up and I was like holy moly I have some of those too lol.

The highest spot within 100 yards from that spring. START DIGGING!!

I've heard from many folks online. It's about 50/50. Some say Native American use, others say glacier disturbance. I'm leaning native, given the site.

That big rock in the river is definitely native and they are quite rare

[@183charlesspiva]

I wondered about the lines on that big rock in the previous. And so far as whether to stay by the spring or explore the pasture, the spring is too good to leave for greener pastures yet, I'm surprised that there's SO much material where you're at. As pretty as that place is I'm surprised there's even any chips, it's not like where you're at is in the wilderness! But sometime when ya'll can jump on 515 N and drive up here to Union Co. and I'll show you what 60+ years of having 'it' really bad looks like. There's another rabbitthole that I won't speak about here but I'll shoot you an email sometime in the next week and describe some of the details of what I've come into over the past 25 or so years, This is the first time I've mentioned this in public and I do know no one else has been down this trail and I'll show you where this is and you then can come and go as you please because the property is owned by everybody. I'm being for real Zach, I'll be in touch! Nice point Zach! looks like turkey hunting this spring may get a little less attention from you! Priorities have a way of getting in the way!

Theres a creek next to our family farm full of arrow heads, as kids I found a half a point and 10-15min later down the creek a ways my sister found another half and they fit together perfectly. Now what the hell are the chances of that happening? Lol

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

That’s cool, my brother found two halves to the same Quartz point last year, he didn’t realize till the next day when he placed them together, I glued it back together with gorilla glue lol, it looks sloppy but I got it back together, it’s about 5 inches long, smoky Quartz spearhead.

[@reidwinsjansen3847]

That place is beautiful! You don't have to believe me, but I know I get vibes when I'm in a good spot. If I even find a flake of flint, I hold it while I look. I would definitely look at the top of banks on each side of the spring where it meets the river. And when it warms up, I would wade and sift the mouth of it. Even look at the first Rock bar down stream. You know the bank has eroded away over the years. Good luck. I'm so jealouse!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks man

[@martinmarsola6477]

Amazing finds today. Thanks for the video.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@218mitch]

That spring is visited by nearly everyone that floats the river. It’s a very well known spot. I’d be careful on showing too much of what I find there. You’ll have people all over it. There are too many people in that area that don’t ask for permission to arrowhead hunt. I’ve had to deal with plenty of them. On another note, I was told that at some point in history there was a ferry to cross the river in that area. Y’all are finding some nice stuff. Imagine if that field was plowed.. Good luck to y’all.

[@ZachByrd]

We've talked to the owners and since posting the first video we're debating on hanging cell cameras along the river bank, especially above the spring. I've been on this river my entire life and I'm not only aware but appreciative of your insight into the river traffic here. I'm just thankful to have gotten permission to dig and to hopefully keep unwarranted folks away. Also, I've been aware of your channel for years. We should meet up sometime. I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths by now.
