Love this. Lived in East Tennessee all my life and every spring when our garden was plowed, my Mother would go to the garden after a rain and find arrowheads. I still have her collection.

[@HistorySeekers]

Thank you!

[@stevewoods8116]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! Finds!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HistorySeekers]

thank you

[@RogueRipple]

It's always a good time finding tools from the past! It's incredible how people thrived for thousands of years using nothin more than a rock. Native Americans were some amazing people, that's for sure.

[@HistorySeekers]

So true!

[@marks.schwartz8468]

Steve Phillips is a national treasure !!!

Thanks buddy , love the channel !

Much appreciated

[@bosshart4178]

Wow !! one of the best treasure hunters there is still finding treasure. Go Steve GO.

[@HeartbreakerRelics]

That's a nice site! I love field walking. With less and less folks disking and going to no till it's getting harder and harder to find a good place to walk. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@HistorySeekers]

thanks for watching!

[@jimwills2094]

I grew up on the Oregon Coast hunting a treasure there that is tied to Oak Island Treasure. I use to hunt Indian Artifacts all the time. Have a nice collection of stone tools from Round Hammer Stones, Axe Heads, Large Palm-Size Scrapers, many small ones like you held up. After finding a Stone Wall at 10ft, the State Archeologist told everybody to lay their tools down, but a couple people did not, and one thing led to another. The next thing you know, the Archeologist called the County Police and had my grandfather Arrested. Good thing the Sherrif was nearly my Stepdad "a get out of jail free card" lol she did not know that. But short of the long is the State revoked our permits indefinitely. I live 85 miles away now, so getting to go relic hunting does not happen much anymore. I sure miss it. So I watch everybody else hunt from my chair.

[@HistorySeekers]

thanks for sharing Jim.

[@stanhutchins4365]

Emily needs her own KZbin channel..WOW. Kool finds on the arrow heads.

[@rikspector]

Our New Jersey farm was near a brook, which is the North Branch of the Metedeconk River.. The farms near us that bordered the river had field which always produced arrowheads or projectile points and stone axes etc. The smaller the points the more likely they were used to tip arrows, they had to be tiny or the arrow wouldn't fly , it would dip toward the ground. The larger "arrowheads" were used with spear shafts and were thrown using an atl or spear thrower, a device that gave the spears more power and distance. Is there a large water source near those fields ,like a river or brook? I can't see areas like those being far from a water source. Great day, great finds and so much History before WE arrived! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@Dr.Pepperdave]

I've looked for many years and never found one. I was even standing by a guy and he said...Well, look there, an arrowhead!

[@Dirtflicker]

Nice Heath! I hope you and Ed are doing great👍

Hello. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on the first find.

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks

[@jt-fs1qb]

Omg!!! Im so jealous!!!! I absolutely love arrowhead hunting... i would give anything to go on any hunt with yall....

[@wadoman699]

Emily's first find looks like an Archaic period stemmed point. 3000 to 10,000 years old.

[@harlanmorrisson6490]

Durst Stemmed, about 3500 BC .

[@peggynulsen1365]

What a great looking dog.

[@oldbamadirt2148]

got to love it i get one from time to time not like i did. i keep the ones i get now just to show.

[@steveclark4291]

I once found a White Flint arrowhead by a little creek out behind my house ! I was told by a friend of mine that White Flint arrowheads was used in ceremonial practices !

[@aaronstandingbear]

As an old bow hunter I can tell you that the natives would sneak along a creek at dusk or dawn and deer herds would be out away from the creek grazing and the arrow shots would range out from the creek a hundred or so yards where missed shots would have landed.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the adventure and seeing some amazing finds ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

[@carriewimberleymitchel8282]

I can't wait until the weather gets nice so I can get back out and find some more treasures! I am in awe of how my Indian ancestors lived! It's ashame that we have destroyed this beautiful land, they lived here for ages and didn't leave destruction and trash just amazing tools and treasures! Wish I had been born in that age.

[@ericgriffinthefirst]

Quartz grinder was awesome...that's a special artifact...used to grind corn ,and nuts ,etc. Into finer flour type consistency,then mixed with water or animal milk then cooked in clay and rock wood burning oven

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks for the info

[@scottlambert2949]

Awesome looking arrowheads heath 😎😎😎😎

[@roamnomo6333]

Found some in plowed fields in Bartow County, Ga., where my neighbor had land. I've found them as well as pieces of spears made of obsidian in Eastern, Oregon. The badgers and ground squirrels leave them around their burrows. There are lots of them there.

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks for watching.

[@lori8553]

That area seems to be a cash cow of arrowheads and tools. How cool 😎 is that? Thanks for sharing.👍

[@victorluc66]

That piece with the concave part where your thumb fit could be a scraper. My grandfather was an avid Indian relic collector and I have acquired the remains of his collection. I have six scrapers all similar shape. They used them for scraping leather clean.

[@kellyhistoryseekers3090]

Thanks for the identification Vic! Much appreciated 😀

[@PracticalKen]

Very nice finds! Thanks for showing us your finds and sharing your adventure. :)

[@truthseeker2900]

I am trying to discern why there would be so many points in this one spot. The only thing that makes sense to me, is that there must have been an Indian village on that site. Which, when you stop and think about it, is a cool thing. During a construction project near my house about 40 years ago a site was discovered that was a village and an archeological dig was done. The amount of artifacts found was staggering. Cool stuff!

[@josefizquierdo6139]

Great finds !!! 😉👍

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks 👍

[@barbaralong1642]

My brother and I used to hunt for arrow heads in a field by our house, when we were kids. We would find geodes also. We put them in a box in the garage. When my parents retired and moved to a smaller house, my mom threw the box in the trash. 🤦‍♀️ You found a lot of nice relics!

[@kellyhistoryseekers3090]

I love geodes, too! Thanks for watching!

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks Barbara!

[@darrelhoeffner3914]

We used to find arrowheads, spearheads and such things in the field next to my Grandpas farm, until the property sold. Also, across the river from Grandpas farm is an old Indian burial pit. This is in Kansas BTW.

[@christianarcheologyarrowhe2200]

Congratulations on your finds thanks for sharing 👍🙏

[@HistorySeekers]

Thank you

[@Rehsmj2012]

That round rock is what we call river rock. They have tumbled in the currents of a river or stream that caused them to grow and be rounds. Think of a snow ball. In the center there is generally a starter like a piece of quartz. Great hunt

[@cwhunter7127]

Great fun Heath , love looking for artifact as much as I do relic hunting. Take care man!!

[@HistorySeekers]

thanks Tony!

[@matthewphillips156]

The round rock beside the knife at the 10:45 mark looks like a discoidal game stone from the Mississippian period.

[@kellyhistoryseekers3090]

Thanks for the identification!

[@HistorySeekers]

Thank you

[@pinebeltrelics8055]

Great outing guys and gals!!! Definitely a predominant woodland site with some archaic mixed in. Enjoyed seeing y’all out there rescuing some treasures!! God bless!! 👍🙏

[@HistorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate any insight into any of our finds on native artifacts. It is an area our team is wanting to learn more about.

[@Ricca_Day]

A guy I knew in high school had hundreds of arrowheads.. if not more. The 1st Spring rain over a fresh plowed clay field leaves them sitting on the top of the soil, and they are easier to find, he said. I always wanted to go look for them.. but life and reasons..🤷‍♀️

[@robertayoder2063]

Get out there

[@Ricca_Day]

Roberta Yoder Sadly, I don't live there anymore..

[@HistorySeekers]

You certainly found the mother load for arrow heads. I have never seen arrow heads with the little tab sticking out, usually only the triangular piece. Great historical pieces, and narration thanks.

Just today l found a very small bird point in a site known to be Paleo. About 3 weeks back l found my first full/unbroken point made of petrified wood out here in west Texas. Also have found a grind stone and spear tip about 2 1/2in. Y'all have some nice stuff there, keep on looking down.

[@GarnetCarmichael]

Pretty rare opportunity to find so many points, I wonder if historians shouldn't be involved. Very interesting, thanks for the video.

[@HistorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@yamahabiker1937]

Many times those are practice pieces, spall fragments, teaching kids, etc...defined chert, jasper, dacite, obsidian are the ones you want. There were a couple larger rounded ones that looked like they may have been hammer stones.

[@HistorySeekers]

Thank you

Not all are arrowheads they can be scalers, drills, and knives .Dont throw them away until you can verify what they are.

[@HistorySeekers]

Great point Lynne. Thanks for watching. If you recognize anything please feel free to let us know. We know a good bit about civil war stuff but very little about native artifacts.

[@keithreiffenstein9909]

Arrowhead hunting is something I have always wanted to do..just don't know where to go..

[@jeffcreech7010]

Where you located? Flood plains along rivers, creeks and streams is most common. Any springs areas are bonus. Im located outside St. Louis, Mo. and just have to look down...

[@sirkyoj1]

Looks like 2000 years was worth the wait.

[@ianbatchelor9381]

Astounding

[@olbear9984]

Small ones, Bird points. 🐻

[@isawit9722]

The first time I went Arrowhead hunting, I got really lucky...so lucky I won't say on here,but in one spot I found fifteen perfect bird points, I found two at first and dug up the sandy soil beneath them, and found the rest all together, and that's not all...but never mind

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

[@kprairiesun]

Broken or not, still awesome!

[@barbcandus]

[@davegoodridge8352]

I went arrowhead hunting one time. I got so many chigger bites I had to go to the doctor. LoL

[@oldmanfred8676]

Sawyers insect repellent!!! Sprayed on your clothes and allowed to dry. Guaranteed no Chiggers, ever! Wally’s in the camping supply area.

[@robertayoder2063]

Guess u didn't go in a plowed field

[@Shooter11B]

My thoughts on the different sizes of the points. Most look like arrowheads, the bigger ones are probably Atlatl Dart points if they used them in your area. MAYBE spear points. The second round stone found near Steve's arrowhead could be a bearing block for a bow drill set.

[@HistorySeekers]

Thanks Steve.

[@randyporter3491]

"Just a rock" my foot ! I like that one !

[@HistorySeekers]

you know Scott...he is always talking trash.

[@jessiejames2155]

The local tribesmen would really like to see those as well .

[@HistorySeekers]

We dont have any local. Jackson moved most of them out west.

[@AdventuresInDirt]

Heath, why such a concentration in that area? Its near water but looks a little flat, or is it elevated? Oops never mind, Steve just enlightened me ... need to watch longer before I comment lol - Great job

[@icaruseffect4072]

Buy that over street guide book..It for pricing..but it is a good identification guide.

[@josefizquierdo6139]

I've found a bunch of stuff where I live, in South Texas.

That quartz was used fer grinding flour , I've never found arrowhead in Vermont

[@dugartmetaldetecting2418]

very cool

[@leroypuckett3441]

I agree with Vic I think it's a scraper for hide's and other things

[@victorsvarietychannel2459]

Wow, way cool.

[@carmineredd1198]

@11;00 that is a round rocks center section likely caused in nature by a series of fractures possibly done after being heated in a fire or pit i have found a few in streams
