These hot spots, are they from animal trails and lost arrows from hunting or are they broken pieces tossed aside or?
@Theditchwalker9 ай бұрын
Well., I call stretches of creek with artifacts "hotspots"..,but they are actually eroding out of an ancient campsite within the banks and becoming part of the streams' gravel system. The artifacts are middle archaic to early woodland period ( 4,000 - 1,500 BC ).....so.,for about 2,500 years different cultures camped on the same site....that's a lot of time to lose things or somehow leave them behind....thanks for commenting Kent

My father was born and raised in Clarksdale Miss., and he said every time they dug the family garden in the backyard they'd find points. The oldest part of town I guess it would be now. Can't remember the name of the street, it was some kind of tree I think. That was back in the '30s. They're all dead and gone now. Maybe I should go there some day and see if I can find something in the creek.

I spent an afternoon (3 hrs) by Dierks, AR one year and found about a dozen arrowheads and other tools in the piney woods on a rock ridge going down to a creek. It was a great experience. Subsequently, looked in my own backyard (along the bank of an old river channel) after I took off 4-5 inches of sand in Longview, WA. Found a half dozen tools there, and a nice scraper in river rock at a local savings and loan just laying there. When I was a kid I found a rotted out yew bow also. The stuff is all around if you just notice.

I'm surprised you aren't finding things in Ohio because the ancients were there since before 2400BC, and Ohio land was included in the "Great War" around 400AD, which was a fullout genocide on each other, so something has to be there. Also, there are ancient artifacts there from peaceable times, too. The Adena and Hopewell were no small civilizations--they had built whole cities, had sophisticated forts, knew metallergy well, and a huge copper mine in northern Michigan was thr main source of their copper for weapons of war and farming equipment, and armor. The Great War started around Illinois, went to Ohio, and the chase went from there to upstate NY, where a great slaughter happened and then the chase went straight south as far as to Kentucky where it was a real bloodbath, so much so that none would dwell there for even as long as when Daniel Boone came. That us one reason he was able to build a home there, because they would live there. They would still hunt there, though. "Kentucky" essentially means "land of blood". So that gives you an idea of where a lot of arrow heads and spearheads would be. Wayne May has pictures in some of his KZbin videos of a lot of artifacts that have been found in the midwest and around the Great Lakes. Also historic newspaper accounts of people finding artifacts since six the pilgrams arrived. There are only about 1,000 earthworks left, but around 199,000 were leveled, destroyed and looted for artifacts for re-working for the settlers farming tools since tree 1600's. Something could be right under your nose. My husband's grandpa used to go out onto the newly plowed farm fields right after the rain and find newly exposed arrow heads in Indian Springs, MD. I think that area follows the path the took from where they came. These people were especially active around Ohio, Illionois, eastern Iowa, south of Ohio, half of PA, all of MD, the Virginias, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, and on down to FL with tonalities in between. Some headed westward in a state of war (after 592BC), but the ones who arrived around 2400BC also headed westward, and only as far eastward as about the western 1/3 of PA abd down to Kentucky. Those two groups never knew each other because the Adena (2400BC) also became a warring people and wiped each other out in a big war. The Adena were known to be extremely large in stature, and had flee oppression from Assyria. So their artifacts are also still being found and discovered. Don't expect the Smthsn to cooperate, though. They have their own agenda and hide the truth a lot. But these people both iriginated from civiliations as equally sophisticated in knowledge and order as Jerusalem when it was at its best before its destruction in 600BC. A few who fled during both ears of oppression, came here. Long story, but many tribes have lore of it. I'd just look harder in Ohio! You never know. The government had many forts leveled and cleared, and one in particular was a fort with Jewish designs in it. Squires and Davis called it "the Hannukah Fort" in their book and they surveyed the whole thing before the government ruined it for political reasons. There are photos if gheir diagram online and their many earkwork surveys are in thrur published book(s) still in the Library of Congress. Where these places are, no doubt, are artifacts, still. I doubt all of the arrowheads alone will ever all be found.

You’ve got some good eyes brother. I like how you wait a second before picking up the artifacts. It’s fun to try to see if I can find it before you grab ahold of them. Thanks for the video and education. Take care👍🏻

My pleasure Chris....it took me a couple years to train myself not to snatch them up so quick and film the moment lol....thanks for commenting

Those "cup stones" are (most likely) used for reshaping the striking end of an antler billet, used for knapping. When using "traditional" knapping tools the striking end gets abraded really quickly and must be reshaped fairly regularly. I'd hang on to a few great examples, if I were the one walking the ditch.

That could be a possibility also....Many from this area show evidence of being in a fire....oh yeah.,I'll haul the nicer ones out....thanks for your insight and commenting

I did not realize I wanted to watch someone searching for arrowheads until I saw you pickup that first one so easily. It looks like you frequent some good Bigfoot territory. He is out there.
