Metal detecting native sites. What could be found?!

[@robertbrown1461]

I have an identical Egyptian piece that I found on the Ohio River in New Richmond, Ohio about fifteen yrs ago, never bothered researching what it was but now my wheels are turning. Nice finds, really enjoy your videos without all the hootin and hollerin.😊

[@22eles]

Do you already know what this Egyptian find is? I found similar ones in Poland.

[@jarmyvicious]

Salutations My Friend, What an excellent episode, and I won't attribute that final find to luck, but I can't discount the feeling that fate steered you back to collect the rest of the small treasure that alluded you previously! I always enjoy your productions, and his one did not disappoint, as there was something here for most every collector, including a couple of stellar points! Once again, thank you for sharing your finds....your channel is a favourite, clean and clear, and to the point, not muddied with the typical junk, just sharing the joys of hunting and finding such wonderful relics! You should be commended for your works! Take Care! Sending Good Cheer and Ample Blessings to You and All Yours! CIAO!

[@Points365]

Thanks as always buddy! I thought I would go off into a different direction with this video. When the points are few and far between I start looking for other artifacts that need finding! I don’t know why, but since a very young age I have had a passion for finding the lost. Especially lost and forgotten. I guess the discovery is half the pleasure. The saving of artifacts is the other half. The native artifacts are really what excite me. Finding remnants of a history we really know so little about, where each find could be another piece to an ancient puzzle of a story. I always appreciate your input and thank you once again!

[@ODGColornChrome]

I really want to know what the Egyptian items are !!

[@garyhenry3103]

I can't tell you how many times that I have thought about doing this. I have eyeballed some really old coins, tokens and CW bullets while surface hunting in the past. Great video.

[@Points365]

No telling what you’re walking over out there! Curiosity finally got the best of me. I’ve detected at a few sites before where coins had been found. This particular day I decided to hit up a number of native spots… even if no metal objects had been found there before. I was surprised at the number buttons I found at native sites where no other signs of modern habitation existed. The Egyptian looking pieces is another on of those places where no signs of modern habitation could be found. Those really have me scratching my head! Thanks again and as always buddy!

[@Paleoman52]

This was such a cool video! Metal detecting and arrowhead finding, it don't get a whole lot better than that. I have a site I have found arrowheads on and I also took my detector there. I found a lot of large cents and flat buttons plus one 1785 Silver half reale.

[@richardleighton5009]

Dude I found most of bracelet with the same exact triangles and squares and links but way differant scenes on them in a huge field where there was said to be a Native American camp site. I don't know what State You are in but I am in Western Maine. Awesome finds !!!

[@Points365]

Thanks man! Middle TN here. It’s definitely a mystery piece for sure, and strange that you found similar! Have you tried taking a metal detector out there?! Everyone I show it to thinks it’s a 19th-20th century piece from when Egyptian revival jewelry was big. It’s odd finding pieces like that in places where only native artifacts are found, but stranger things have been found before! Haha good luck if you get back out there looking!

[@rockhunter6260]

Love the MD finds, another piece of the Egyptian mystery piece is very intriguing. The two Indian relics were a bonus. Thanks for taking us on the hunt👍🏻

[@samfulks4896]

Gems abound. Super hunting. Thank you

[@normaferro8054]

Treasure!! Great idea!! Keep at it and you might find some Indian copper! Nice finds! Iam glad you found more Egyptian bracelet? So cool.

[@historylooker7]

Amazing, brother 💥!!! Can't believe you found another one of those Egyptian looking things !!! Killer points to boot 😃👍!!!

[@Points365]

Thanks man! But I know! After going back the first time with the detector I thought the place was for sure void of any metallic pieces to be found. On a whim I decided to give it another go since I was out there. Couldn’t believe another one popped out! This one’s a little different, but clearly similar. Still trying to make sense of the first one.. and now this one! Hah thanks as always buddy!

[@historylooker7]

@@Points365 😆👍

[@FlintSpall]

Cool combo video.No point spending all that walking time just looking for surface stuff, although those points I'd consider icing ya know? That's a win/win in my book.More power to ya!!!!

[@Points365]

Haha icing indeed! I’d take a nice point over a coin any day of the week though.. man I love me some artifacts! The point hunting has been really slow, so I decided to take a few swings with the detector. I couldn’t believe I found 2 points at spots I had been just a week or so earlier!

[@actionjacksonartifactsandb877]

The Egyptian necklace or jewelry is very intriguing. The civil war era bullets and buttons are cool too. Funny how the arrowheads pop out of the ground when you walk by. That happens when Benny walks by too.

[@Points365]

Haha “pop out” you say!😂 Usually I would laugh and say no way in heck… but those 2 in this video, man I had literally just hunted those spots what seems like a week or 2 before! I couldn’t believe they were just laying right on top like that! I think my sidekick is my lucky charm actually!😏

[@warrenmink2429]

Wow man what some nice saves !! Artifacts and old American artifacts. These pieces must be from the odd fellows or masons . Very different. Thanks for sharing brother .

[@rockytoprelics76]

Awesome video man. Great detector finds. And always finding those smokers! Enjoyed!

[@Points365]

Man I couldn’t believe I found those 2 points that day! The main reason I went detecting instead was because the arrowhead hunting had been so slow. Laying right on top too! It obviously wasn’t shared because I didn’t want it to appear as if I was digging for native artifacts… but the first metallic target at the first site, I also pulled a broken drill out of the hole! Haha I couldn’t believe it!

[@RicoVonSpaceWolf]

Fellow artifact hunter here. I would like to recommend a horseshoers knife. It’s a folding pocket knife that has a blade along with a metal hook like piece used for cleaning dirt out from horse hooves. It’s super lightweight and is extremely useful for digging out small artifacts.

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Hey hey friend! COngratulations ! Cheers from south European metaldeetcting couple... New ferinds and followers! Cheers!!!

[@scottnock5241]

Great finds!!! They say the Egyptians were here before everyone else!!! lol. They are super cool, any idea of age on those? And where they came from??

[@Points365]

Thanks man! No clue on those pieces. After going back to detect after the first find, I though the place was for sure empty of any metallic targets to be found. Since I was back out there with the detector I decided to give the spot a quick swing. Man I couldn’t believe another one popped out! Still not sure on age or anything. When I shared the first find people were across the board with it. A number of people thought it was from the late 1800 early 1900’s when there was a resurgence in Egyptian themed items. Rationally thinking me; would probably agree. Tin foil hat me; aliens visited the pyramids then dropped it as they were fishing these fine TN waterways before heading home! Lol

[@joemiller8965]

Awesome points and some great metal detector finds too. Congrats! Enjoyed the video.

[@Points365]

I appreciate it buddy! Any day I go with something is a good day in my book. Heck just being out there is a good day! Thanks for checking out the finds!

[@davelink1318]

Yep, proof right there ! Cleopatra sailed right up your river 😊, I remember when you found that other one, pretty cool 😎

[@missourioutdooradventures]

Nice finds enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and good luck on your next outdoor adventure

[@Points365]

Thanks as always buddy!

[@mikewilson9774]

Unusual but what nice finds. Love the points. As always be safe.

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Never even owned a metal detector, but would like to try it out someday. Fascinating seeing the history of our forefathers. Nice archaic blade and finding the rest of that old necklace. If it is also archaic you got Egyptian treasure😅. No doubt caves in the region have revealed some treasures from ancient times. Thanks n Blessins to you n yours . Good Vid n hunt

[@Points365]

It’s a whole different type of hunt detecting! Compared to hunting native artifacts, it almost feels like cheating! Where as a keen and trained eye is needed to find flint projectiles, and still walked over when only slightly covered, a detector alerts you. Hence the feeling of it being too easy! Haha It’s definitely fun for when the points are few and far between, or when your hidden house key out in the flower bed has become 1 with the earth and needs locating! Haha Thanks as always!

[@jamesburleigh5995]

Nice!! Please do an update if any info is found on the piece.

[@atuuschaaw]

What an excellent video brother! Dang, I'm a little behind on your uploads. I have some catching up to do! You were already killin' it, and now you come up with early settler treasure to boot! I see you're still finding some great points as well. The mid 19th Century copper alone would be a day maker for me...but you went over the top and also found some great buttons, and what appears to be a 3 ring .58 and a Williams Cleaner. Not to mention what I'm guessing are Egyptian watch fobs? And wheats! 😉 In my years of exploring and hunting rocks, it became obvious right off the bat that generations of different peoples, over thousands of years, always chose the same site. Whether it was a temporary camp, seasonal camp, or if it was the first Europeans to homestead-they all chose the same spot because it was strategic and it would sustain live. I used to run up on creek and river banks that had eroded out the old sites, and it was always amazing to see history stratified in its layers. Like a sweet slice-o-cake! 😁 ♥

[@Points365]

Anything old is always a pleasure to find… even the wheats! Haha But you know, I see and have noticed exactly what you speak of. Finding artifacts from all time periods, including the relative present, all in one spot. It only makes sense though.. the conditions were good enough for natives, it surely was good enough for settlers. It makes you look at old historic homesteads and wonder what’s below those floorboards?!

[@Bosnia_Magnetfishing]

Cool finds.

[@Points365]

Thanks again buddy!

[@9wire]

Damn, you can showcase metal artifacts just as well as you do the stone ones! 👍🏻👍🏻 Still don’t know what to think of the Egyptian doo dad though…

[@billyjohnson6355]

Wow nice finds some nice points were found also i was just wandering have you ever had an arrowhead set the metal detector off some materials have iron content and will respond to a magnet. Again nice finds

[@Points365]

Thanks man! I think everyone that hunts native artifacts and detects has had that thought pop in their head! Haha I have run my pinpointer, which will pick up the smallest bit of metallic bits, over many pieces. The only piece that set it off was the broken piece of a polished hematite Celt I have. The high iron content in it was detected. Finding that artifact in the field would probably be hard because of the natural mineralization and trace amounts of iron already in the soil around here. It would be a lot of false hits and empty holes dug! Haha

[@MOEMUGGY]

Ya need to getcha one of them sonic cleaners from Hobo Freight.

[@davidshaw7454]

You live in an incredible area with lots of history ! Congratulations on saving it piece at a time and sharing it with us ! I really enjoyed the video !

[@jonduncan188]

got a buddy who does that at a Hopewell site, finds copper awls rolled beads and little wedges.

[@Points365]

Man that’s what I was really hoping to find! Over the years I believe I’ve only found 2 copper pieces that are native. My first of which was 12-14 years ago. A piece of crude copper, crudely rolled into what looks and fits like a ring. I never found anything else there metallic.

[@janicegelbhaar7352]

NICE artifacts

[@Points365]

Thanks again and as always!

[@BarbaraM-ro3xq]

Those Egyptian looking pieces could somehow be connected together to make a nice pendant for yourself.

[@Points365]

I have them displayed together.. it sure looks like they were connected at some point!

[@StevelaFrench]

I found an 1860 bronze 2 cent piece on a site in Kansas, if it were from 63 or 64 it'd be worth some money.

[@Points365]

But still… what a find! I’ve always wanted to find a 2¢ piece. Those are just neat on a whole new level I think! Thanks for checking out the finds and for sharing yours!

[@toddincabo]

👍

[@Points365]

Thanks as always buddy!

[@JGrant1980]

Have you thought about getting the Egyptian metal items tested?

[@zzzzzzzzzzaper]

Cool cool brother. I have the Legend too. It works pretty good for what I intended use for artifacts. I use mine for finding fire pits. There will be higher iron mineralization around the pit and in it. The trick is in the notch tone setting,,,,,, Lower the non ferris tones where you don't get them as much and the Iron settings raise. lol Just oppisite of what you set it up for regular finding, Only problem if it is is depth, I have overcome this by useing it as i dig. I have had some sucess doing this. At least it is keeping me from a lot of extra digging and keeping me on the better places to find. Also some points are high iron in the ground they show to a point, , , , but not on top or layed out purposely so it is just hit and miss there has to have the HALO signal to find them from the Iron leeching out into the surrounding soil. Like I said that is a hit and miss lots of varibles there. Glad to see this at least I'm not the only weirdo out there doing this lol Thanks for sharing brother.

[@Points365]

Now that’s an idea I had never thought of! You’re right though, I bet it would slightly show on the lower end of the vdi. That’s too funny though.. setting up your machine to discriminate non ferrous! Haha I heard their new 1.14 update has a big depth improvement. Maybe that will help a bit.

[@evdallas123]

Civil war and ancient all on one spot what more could a relic hunter ask for accept maybe some dinosaur bones

[@Points365]

Maybe a few gold nuggets… a diamond or 2… and a blob of whale vomit. I hear those sell for a pretty penny!🤣

[@22eles]

Hello brother, have you checked what this Egyptian talisman is? I found a similar one in Poland. Regards

[@Points365]

Hey buddy! Unfortunately, I haven’t found any information on those pieces. Thats strange and amazing that you found similar pieces there though! I appreciate you reaching out!

[@lizmbrad]

Lemon juice will clean that coin up. Soak it then use a tooth brush to gently clean it. Im sure you already know that though.😊

[@Points365]

I’ve heard of lemon juice, but never tried it. Maybe I need to start ordering lemons with my water at dinner so I can save up enough to try it out! Haha Thanks again!

[@JoeandAngie]

$600 detector. Dang. No wonder my $199 one sux.

[@Points365]

Nah… it still gets the job done! My old $200 one served me well for years. I definitely went back with newer ones and found stuff at places I thought I had hunted out with the old one, but it got the most of it! Haha

[@WalkandWander]

I think the random looking penny is a indiana head there thicker my only guess

[@chrishoke4802]

That’s absolutely the worst thing you can do to a coin or metal relics is to wet them and the rub them you destroy what could be saved…… this is productive advise just let it dry and then use a toothpick to clean it up…… don’t take my word for it ask any metal detecting person for advice ……. No offense but I collect both native artifacts and metal detect . 40 years worth. Thanks and great job!

[@Points365]

Noted, and thanks for the advice. My natural reaction is to take things to the water to clean them off. It only feels right. I can see where the abrasiveness of sandy soil could do harm. Thanks again for the pointer!

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

So 1 year later U found another EGYPTION PIECE SIMILAR.......? Don't STOP there is more..... Surely a PUZZLE...... SURELY Heiroglphic message for U😊

[@Points365]

That’s right! About a year and a half later. Right after I found the first one surface hunting, I went back with the detector and didn’t get any hits, anywhere! Since I was out detecting old sites that day, I decided to swing by there and give it another go. Not sure why this wasn’t found last time I went there, but this one turned up all of a sudden! It’s very similar to the first. Different depictions on it. It’s also oriented different. Still trying to figure out what exactly it is and why it would be there?! Thanks as always!

[@ernesthercher5193]

If I remember correctly metal detectors were invented during WW2 by a Polish man and used to find mines. Then the Germans started using mines made from wood only. Back to the drawing board.

[@scottynails]

Can you keep the talking to a minimum in your videos.... all that talking you do is making it hard to hear........
