[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍

[@larrymiller672]

Good morning from PI.Thanks for another cool video.Always my pleasure to watch.🌞🇺🇲🗽🙏

[@rockscousteau]

🖐

[@markgwilt1477]

Best way to spend my Sunday morning coffee time watching Rocks find awesomeness 😊

[@rockscousteau]

Morning! I am heading to a dump today. Try for some marbles. The river is higher today than it was yesterday

[@patrickrowan1249]

Love them Fish Spears! Material and characteristics..What a beautiful atlatl dart! Awesome

[@rockscousteau]

Yes they are!

[@horaceburgess9256]

I don't even know why, but I particularly love the fish Spears. They are narrow and I like the base on them. Best of luck!. Give squirrel man a rub.

[@rockscousteau]

Same here! Pretty classic looking form for a point. Would look good as a sign or Logo

[@deloradeabel8487]

Thanks for sharing!🐿🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🔮🎼🎵🎶

[@coachkevinwilson1958]

Excellent vid... and man, Squirrel Man is talking up a storm. Very cool.

[@rockscousteau]

You got that right!

[@russcalabrese7561]

Squirrel man just a Talkin up a storm, he was loving getting those scratchings!! Hematite pieces are amazing and dart point frame is looking great! 😃

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍He is up there eating grapes now. He got 4 big juicy ones in his box...LOL

[@isomer13]

Really nice fish spear. Thanks, Rocks.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for watching!

[@RonFProspecting]

Awesome time

[@digdug6767]

Awesome

[@elsakrigbaum99]

Nice fish spear!!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks!

[@GaryParris-sd8gg]

Hey Rocks you really find those points fish spears and native American artifacts, that is amazing, and you are so calm about it and layed back the average tru American would be so excited to explore like you do,on the Ohio, diggin' for antique toys and marbles and we love when you find a crock are a bottle you get so excited that is how we know you are for real, keep up the good work, Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rockscousteau]

Very cool

[@jamesmarshalla9333]

Even though the river is up, you’re still finding neat nutting stones and that fish spear was spectacular to find Rocks! We could go a few days without rain here in central Illinois, we’re having too much of it!

[@rockscousteau]

Yea...I dunno what happened James. It must have rained a good deal up river someplace. I wanted to go try and sift an Amos point today....but that place is just in to deep of water now.

[@neweyes777]

Another well scored Point. It's so relaxing watching you slowly paddle on the water and watching Squirrel Man playing with you and giving you kisses is so sweet, you two take care and thanks for taking me with you.

[@rockscousteau]

It has been nasty out on the river. I went out earlier...started finding stuff. And a storm front started rolling in....throwing up waves. I just had to leave. It still has not poured rain though.....they were calling for flash flooding and everything...LOL

[@cyndybutler7330]

It’s a great day for it rock next 3 days sunny and warm will help River

[@rockscousteau]

The river is up. Id say it will be 2 days till it is prime to sift. I at least found some stuff. It took a long time to fill a screen today in that water.

[@cyndybutler7330]

@@rockscousteau yeah most likely by Monday you’ll be able to find things , you did great

[@jerrysadventures8952]

nice arrowhead rocks

[@erictaylor8523]

Another nice one!!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for the visit

[@juliegriffin7609]

Squirrel Buddy sure is a happy fellow. I love those squirrel noises. That bird point was nice! 💖💯

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍

[@Swamp-Fox]

Nice fish spear for the collection! Man, I can't believe how tiny that piece of hematite is! It definitely takes a trained eye to find artifacts that small. I am starting to get the impression that Squirrel Man is spoiled LOL!

[@rockscousteau]

You got that right!

[@jhallack7491]

Great artifacts, Rocks!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks. Not to bad. The river is even higher today. It must have rained someplace...LOL. Should be better by tomorrow. I went up to the dump today....feels like it is 120 degrees...hahaha

[@kevinumhey5939]

Could you please explain how a fish spear was used and how can they be identified from other points . God Bless you and your critters !!!

[@rockscousteau]

Its an Atl-Atl dart like I said

Boots are off for the year starting now, water warming up and feeling good. Weve had major high water and rain here in middle TN, been doing good last few weeks. Found a KILLER beaver lake couple weeks ago. Best paleo ive recovered

[@rockscousteau]

Dont wade in the rivers man without protection. Wear the hip waders all year. If you are churning up the sediments at all.....it is a must. All the toxins.....settle where you are. I have even been wearing gloves. Rubber ones. I take them off them I do clips.

[@patrickrowan1249]

The tiny hematite would be nice in a medicine bag! Lots of symbolism getting that small!

[@rockscousteau]

Yea.....those are just crazy items. That last one that looks like apencil tip is just crazy looking. I am sure I will find more. I am just scraping the base clay every trip now looking for those

[@Jane_Dow]

Gotta admit you know how the find the best spots ! Squirrel Man is making all that noise cause he wants to make all those other squirrels jealous ! :~)

[@rockscousteau]

You got that right! There are squirrels all over the place out there. He goes nuts

[@kenjones4564]

Squirrel Man was really talking today!!!!

[@stardust949]

You should do what you want to do. Hey, silver spot price is starting to climb! Hang on to your silver.

[@rockscousteau]

I have like 800 Pounds of silver bullion. Yes. 800 POUNDS.

[@sarahbeals3555]

Just my opinion but arrowhead vids >>>>>> marble dump vids.. you’re the best artifact hunter in the game

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. But in order to do the Arrowhead uploads......I have to do the other videos for the $$$. Kind of crazy.....but digging in basically junk......pays DOUBLE than the arrowheads. Esp If I can find plastic toys. And put the plastic toys in the cover image. I think the BIG thing....THE TOYS. Christmas. Holidays. Advertisers like the toys. As it goes on......more uploads I get on. The more arrowhead uploads I will go. I have on 2,000 now. I am about good

[@rockscousteau]

I had to get it so I was making like $500.00 plus per month.....just off the content I already have uploaded. That takes the pressure off me.....

[@gregbaker1753]

The hematite is a very interesting usage question ! Humm ?

[@rockscousteau]

yea. It is odd stuff. And probably could only be found using water to sift. I doubt you could ever see something like that in a field that has been plowed. Probably more common than you realize.....just almost invisible. Those small flint ridge bird point are all over the river valley.....so those people had an ancient empire of some kind

[@greenbayrockhuntress]

I hope you realize how good you are at recording this kind of content? You're the absolute best.... also one heck of a teacher. Thanks as always. 🤘

[@rockscousteau]

Filmed after eating a Heroic Dose of Magic Mushrooms. I ate the entire bag

[@greenbayrockhuntress]

@@rockscousteau LMAO!!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

The fish spear is beautiful, Rocks. The tiny hematite piece was used up almost completely. And Squirrel Buddy was getting...and giving...loves! How sweet!❤

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍

[@rocketaroo]

Be interesting to fit a point to an arrow, and try it out on a pumpkin or alike.

[@rockscousteau]

It would go into a tree thrown from an atl-atl. With force

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

I think proof little children drawing........hematite ✏ Lots of family. Pottery. Hunter gatherers. Hard work to survive😊

[@rockscousteau]

So true! I think there are thousands of pieces of that hematite on the clay around me

[@robbybobby64]

Man that squirrel is a talker. Ear and cheek rubs? Who’s holding the camera. I know you don’t have three hands! 🙌

[@rockscousteau]

I had the cam on my headf strap.

[@adam42a]

the screen on your uploads is smaller now. Do you know why?

[@rockkicker5527]

Look up the ancient points and tools they are finding on an island in the Chesapeake bay they are finding stuff in layers they can date through geology

[@rockscousteau]

yea....but this has bone . It can be dated easily with the midden.

[@rockkicker5527]

@rockscousteau parsons island Maryland site it's pretty interesting you might enjoy it they talk about alot of tge same things you point out on your channel

[@JOECorsoNova]

Be careful with waders on while on the kayak Rocks! I don’t know how deep it is, but if you fall off the kayak it’s gonna be like anchors on your legs when they fill up with water, stay safe brother!

[@rockscousteau]

I can swim across the river with the hip waders on. And I am not kidding. I'll do it on video for a price.

[@JOECorsoNova]

@@rockscousteau 😂 I believe you, no need to see it.

[@amyjones7962]

Faceted hematite pieces were used for sharpening.

[@rockscousteau]

No. They were not.

[@rockscousteau]

you can prove it with a microscope

[@williammurrow58]

Wondering what the correlation is between the tiny pieces of hematite and the fish Spears. Someone mentioned kids playing with the hematite but any encampment would have kids so why isn't there tiny pieces where you find other point types? Squirrel Man is talkative today lol

[@rockscousteau]

Well the association with the hematite......it is with the tiny flint ridge bird points. I am finding no worked hematite on the fishspear sites. Just the tiny bird point sites

[@williammurrow58]

@Rocks..Sorry meant to say why just where you're finding bird points...odd that's the only place you find tiny hematite pieces
