[@rockscousteau]

It is a barge that hauls coal up and down the river. He was empty because he took the coal down river to a power plant. He was going back to home base...or going to pick up more coal. Sometimes they haul sand and gravel...but this one I have seen before...it hauls coal--I see this same barge a lot

Rocks, that first broken point was repurpused I think. They make burins out of them and those clean breaks were finger rests. Looks like the tip of the burin which was the ear of the original point was even touched up it appears to be made sharper. Great hunt. Love your channel.

Love that Madison. If you get a chance could you show a piece of river cobble? I have an idea what that look like but wanted to be sure before I start spalling one. Thx

[@rockscousteau]

I showed a piece in one of these recent uploads. Its easy to spot. The best place to get it is at gravel companies. Go trough their rock piles...take a bucket and pick out all the chert cobbles. The larger rocks like people put in flower gardens.....or you see around some places to eat like Long John Silvers.....that bigger rock is the best.....that is the best knapping material on the planet and cheap. You can get a truck load of knapping material for pennies on the dollar. Most needs heat treated....but it is the best way to get the stuff

@@rockscousteau the leg boots are death traps? Man i can only imagine what chest wadders would do to ya.

@@rockscousteau iv noticed you dont lol i have one but don't wear it. I feel like a jackass not wearing one but they get in the way. Although if i kayak i always throw one on.

[@rockscousteau]

@@scottdenn5545 I know what you mean Scott. I should wear one....I may this year when it gets down to like 10 degrees. My mom has been reading me the riot act for not wearing one. LOL. I had a nice one that was actually comfortable and it floated off one day and I lost it not paying attention. Now I just have this crappy one that rubs me under the arms and stuff when I row. I may break down and buy one this fall again...hahaha. Maybe not

[@lizmbrad]

Come on Ace, you could have put your hand in that hole. 😂😂😂😂 Great find with that last one. It looked more like a drill to me in the book.

[@rockscousteau]

hahahah....

[@isomer13]

I always like those river shots. Good water. That could be a Kingfisher or a Swallow of some sort on the bank burrow. It was hard to tell the exact size of the hole. Nice finds, and you know, that with all else you've found it's just a matter of time till you get an incredible smoker... or a few... you've already found some nice examples. Always smokin'. Thanks, Rocks.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for the info---i see Kingfishers a lot....could be that for sure.

[@Creekseekingadventures]

Broken or not great finds. Just the thought that an Indian was the last one that held it until it’s picked by the finder always has me in ahhh.

[@chriscourson2824]

if I had a body like that, I would show my FACE!!😀

[@rockscousteau]

Then people will bug me to death. I have not even showed myself hardly at all to this point...and people bug me to death now. You dont know how this is. I just want to make money....find arrowheads. I dont want to talk to people at the mall....grocery store...and everywhere I go. Some people here want that...i do not. I have not even self promoted my channel. Think if I started going to artifact shows and setting up all my finds on display. I would get thousands of subscribers. I dont want any part...of any of that.

[@Jane_Dow]

You found the honey hole of heartbreakers today ! That Madison was worth the trip though. I bet if you stuck a long ( real long ) stick in that hole, you'd have a 75% chance of finding out what was in there. But I'd make sure I could get a really good head start on whatever might come barreling out of there. See Ya later ! :~)

[@rockscousteau]

Yea that Madison honestly made my week. Hard to find those perfect like that

[@gailcoppinger3369]

could be a snake hole , bro

[@rockscousteau]

I hope not

[@michaelwing5181]

Lots of nice finds, to bad about the brokes, make you wonder what they would have been like. The bank hole could be a bank swallow nest hole. I stuck my hand in one when i was a kid and pulled out a huge toad. Lol. Have a great day.

[@rockscousteau]

My thoughts exactly

[@melissanewman4422]

You kill me every time you groan about your back. I swear I am going to design a light-weight, collapsible, adjustable, heavy-duty table/stand. The digging has got to be one thing, but being bent over, looking over those screens, half the day, is creating unnecessary strain and fatigue.

[@coachkevinwilson1958]

Yeah, Melissa. I was thinking about that too. I've sifted for years for shark teeth, and that's always an issue, bending over looking through the screen but also the act of sifting (unless you're doing it in waist high water). One solution might be rope handles, so that you can stand and sift, and maybe have fold out legs or something to stand it up to look through. One day, I'm going to design one.

[@rockscousteau]

It is mostly reaching with the shovel....and the suction on the bottom when you lift up the shovel. The sifting I can just roll a log out and sit my screen on it. And that alleviates that. It is mostly the shovel work to be honest.

@@rockscousteau I understand that, but I would think the ideal work surface for you would ideally be about 42'+..Then after shoveling, sifting, you would be able to stand up straight for 5 minutes or so... that would give your back a break.... I am short... you are not..

Mud puppies?🤷🏼‍♀️

[@rockscousteau]

Ive seen those in creeks. Huge ones before. I am seeing all these big lizards now. I saw a lizard on the river last week that was the size of an Iguana, But that is not what it was. It has black skin and red on it. But it ran into weeds like 2 seconds after I saw it and disappeared. It would have gotten some major views if I could have got it on video
