Hey, great info, you covered it really well! Biggest thing I would stress is that before you go into a field, be sure to get permission! There are some good apps out that will show you property lines and ownership info, I use them to get metal detecting permissions all the time. Keep up the good work 👍

My 95 year old neighbor told me about how they used to pay kids to walk behind the tiller looking for points because they had so many flatten their tractor tires. My other friend on the other side of the valley said the same thing. My friends dad on the top of the valley, found an 8 inch copper spear.

Great video, thanks! Such a thrill to find artifacts…Been hunting arrowheads with my family since I was very little. Dad always covered the same search criteria you did, with one addition - if the water source has a rise on the northern side, look there. The Indians relied on southern exposure for warmth in the winter, thus encampments tend to be on the northern side, or alternatively, if a rise has anything that would shield from winter winds.

Brother, great beginners guide...I just watched this video. When you picked the Faker quartz by the creek, laying just maybe 5 or 6 inches from it, I saw a spearhead laying sideways. It was a darker tan looking spearhead...I thought that was what you were going to pick but instead you picked up the one and made the point about being fooled. You should go back to that creek and get that spearhead

Twards Michigan you have natural copper deposits. They would take the raw copper and cold hammer them into points, tools, and jewelry. A lot of it was traded some distance and even into Georgia at some point. Usually you wont find it anywhere outside Wisconsin and that area. Stone and bone was used exclusively everywhere else. When the British and French came about in the 1600s they would trade metal triangles cut out of copper or brass kettles (called kettle points) and they can be found all over the east coast usually. North Carolina is absolutely full of points and native sites. Ashville is close to Tennessee which has a lot of flint and is known for it’s crazy points that come outta there. Youll have some luck there on the rivers if you know how to look the banks 💪🏻 Good luck and hope I answered your question. Let me know if you find anything!

Archeological evidence shows women definitely knapped points. It wasn’t uncommon for a woman to make some when necessary as she would need to make/sharpen knives for cleaning animals and other tasks. There was a culture (the name escapes my memory) that would send out boys of about 12 with a bow and some arrows and wouldn’t allow them to come back until they had killed something. As for the tasks I am sure through history some tribes had an assembly line type thing where some people had the specific job of making points. But every hunter would definitely need to know a lot about their equipment not to mention maintaining and caring for it. I think it all comes down to culture and time period or the season (summer being the least desperate for odd jobs). TLDR: women definitely knapped a lot and so did the men. Hunters for sure had to know how to make and maintain points as well. I believe some very nice looking points were made by people who had the job of knapping.

1. Brush your teeth 2. Probably use deodorant too 3. Talk to her- if she reciprocates continue talking 4. Be kind and chivalrous 5. Ask her on a date (choose something within her interest) 6. If she says no do not pass go and do not collect $200

Yeah bro I was just in that area for a show and hunted a little. There are definitely fields out there with stuff in em but people just don’t plow like they used to. If farmers go back to tilling you would find 4 points every time you went out. My best advice is to keep looking high flat disturbed ground near water or in the gravel bars in the creeks below those areas. Trust me when I say this you will find a point when you are about to give up or at your lowest. Keep looking! Also a lot of people will say spots are picked put but realistically you can never overhunt a field or creek. New things pop out every time it rains 👍🏻
