Walking And Searching The Beach For Indian Artifacts

[@abbyseipert3457]

Beau I have a piece of pottery I found here in GA with the cuts in it, they we're definitely done after firing, most likely after the vessel broke, and the shards were used as abraders for stone tools. Robert Bray in the Missouri Archaeologist, Vol. 24, says they were used as a stopgap measure when abrader-quality sandstone was unavailable. Pretty interesting, I've used concrete for the same when flintknapping.

[@TomFromMN]

Love it when you have you're pointing out what many of us might miss. Enjoyed another Aquachigger Adventure.

[@stupidmovies85]

Anthropology student here. The lines are ‘cord’ marks. Natives would wrap cords around wood, and smack the wet clay with them. This made grooves for tying the pottery up, and or making them easier to hold. Essentially putting grooves on them for holding. Also, they were decorative too as your friend stated. Nice video Beau. Been a long time fan, and while I love the metal detecting videos I always love when you go eyeballing for arrowheads or other non-metal artifacts. God bless and take care my friend

[@meMiner]

Wonderful spot with cool history. Great explanation by Matt. Thanks for sharing

[@sunrunneroldbottels223]

the lines on the pottery are from cored paddle ,which was used to thine the walls of the vessel .

[@kevinthompson7647]

7:44 looked like an old fire ring formation in passing🤓Sweet video..... Beautiful property, and a kind landowner hooah! Oregon

[@thatsmallrockshop]

The grooves in the stone was from sharpening bone needles and bone awls used to repair nets.

[@IratePuffin]

Pretty sure that was pottery, not stone.

[@artifacthunter]

Looks like cord marked pottery middle woodland period approximately 300bc to 800ad. Find it up in the Piedmont as well in most creeks and rivers.

[@brendaproffitt4807]

Such a beautiful day the water looks so clear unless just shore line great video too.thank you

[@MrDetectorist]

love beach combing, never know what you will find. Keep it up. always love the excitement

[@jimjustice581]

Did you forget your metal detector? Enough jawin’ and more swinging that detector!

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Fun video. Thank you, sir!

[@dannywilliams3928]

Interesting video aquachigger. must be hard trying to hold on to that video camera on a stick and walk through that water and get around all that brush. But it was some great video! And all the pottery was cool. But I'd have been dying if I didn't have my metal detector. Lol. Take care and keep shooting the great videos.

[@davideo1954]

Your remark about a dead beaver in the road had me humming “Dead Skunk (in the middle of the road)” by Loudon Wainwright III. Remember back that far? Early 70s, I guess 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@waxhawcreek1717]

Stinkin to high heaven

[@calebkelly9169]

That’s very typical woodland era pottery I’d say. 1500-2500 years old. Gotta love it !

[@DetectoresRJ]

Sempre vídeos Top Very good 🇧🇷

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Clay was gatherd from the river bank and mixed with a binding such as crushed shell and certain types of crushed rock usually valcanic in nature such as granite etc to prevent shrinkage of the clay. One the clay was formed into thier pots etc. And totally dry. They would fire the pots in a bed of coals. Some of the pots if not totally dry would crack and or break. And be disscarded or recrushed and added to the next batch of clay to prevent shrinkage before they fired it. And thier has been as far as i know no know record of any broken pottery being sharpenend into a blade of any sort.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Love your stuff Chig, places I will likely never see and why I watch. Your passion for exploring is very similar to mine.... Life is good and get back to AZ soon. Mudlarking?

[@dehalfacre2370]

The rounded piece of pottery was a lid. We use to find them in indiana digging In cave overhang trash pits. They were small and lost easily.

[@tylerrsmith443]

I can't believe no sharks teeth. We used to find those littered all over the place on the Neuse, Pamlico, Pungo areas in eastern NC.

[@bucki58]

I would love to go on a long walk on the beach with Aquachigger.

Black Beard was said to spent his last days off the coast of North Carolina in Bath.

Looks like a point at 14:04 next to the red brick fragment. Probably a leaf but looks good from here.

[@rightleg5920]

Black beards hide out is in Ocracoke which is in the Outerbanks

[@furgy425]

Professor Aquachigger, thank you for the education I say this with all respect.

[@MerAngel12121]

What a prankster you are, Beau. You seemed surprised by Matt's response when you asked him if he was going to carry that vinegar bottle out and throw it away and he is such a nice guy that he says "Yes I'll carry it out." Now he needs to go watch all those river treasure vids and how many times you say, "I'm Not the River Janitor." You make me laugh and he probably will too, once he hears what you say. Too funny. : ) : ) : ) : )

[@fjernsynet]

In the middle ages letters was sometimes written on lead using runes.

[@dang2390]

Those black leather looking items are the pectoral fins of a large nose carpet croaker native to that part of the state

[@coinucopia]

Are you going to Arizona this year?

[@AndrexT]

The black stuff, Gutta Percha I think. It was used to waterproof fabric like water buckets.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Just the month of February now we’ve had 23 inches of rain here where I live. A lot of it fell at once to. Everything was flooded. I’d love to be there detecting. No telling what could be found with a detector now.

[@Jessasaurus]

That black stuff looks similar to pottery I've found over here in Illinois. The way that one piece crumbled in half in your hand looked identical to the pottery.

[@nadinechandler8898]

I love North Carolina! Im from western NC great video mr.chigg

Hey there bow good video I enjoyed it

[@debcarnes100]

I love watching you explore, never know what you will find

[@fredsmith4416]

Im from Maine and I am curious if you have ever heard of "Whale Back" State Park it is the same group of Indigenous peoples that were on that beach here except they were responsible for hundreds of acres of oyster shells. Im telling you there were mountains of old discarded shells. A whole town was built on them several hundred tons of shells were shipped out for cement as supplement for limestone.

[@jenncurtis5]

Fred Smith I’m in Maine too :)

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

You are coming back with a detector right!?. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to swing that area. Mudlarking is fun but you know we want Moer! Thanks Beau! Any adventure is a good one! Happy travels! Beeps.

[@maxsteinbeezly7904]

Hey chigg! Have you been to Brownies Beach? You can find small sharks teeth in the shell deposits. It’s very cool!

[@xavierjacques73]

[@danestocker3924]

Many Tuscarora fled here to wny and found the roots to the tree of peace, leading the Seneca to give them some land. They may appreciate any artifacts back?

[@advenzures]

Great adventure. Take care. Happy Hunting.

[@BassFishingWithTKHeaven]

First time viewer, really cool video, very informative. I was referred to your channel from Outdoorsygal O. Glad she sent me. Stay safe out there will be looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@mikebaize6971]

Hey Mr chigg when I was 10 or 11 I lived in Valparaiso Indiana and I was digging in a hill in my friends back yard and found a 8" spear from the Indians in perfect condition and my mom let my little brother take it to show and tell and he dropped it and broke it i have always wanted to go back and look some more now that am older I just always thought it was weird I found there

[@__WJK__]

Item found in the water @3:52 looks a lot like a lid to an ancient American Indian pot, especially given the unique size/near perfect round shape...

[@bills6093]

Black material looks like tar or pitch? Used on roofs and boats.

[@darlenewood9657]

What a great place to explore! Hope you do more work there.

[@frasercard7714]

they also "cord" wrapped pottery for design

[@degganodontlie6978]

My dad has a peace pipe and toy duck make sure to always check rocks they mold them into toys and tools in nc

[@mikemartin5938]

That was a nice piece of quartz you threw down

[@MerAngel12121]

Cool place, Beau! Love it. Not sure how or why you didn't bring along a metal detector. ; [ You're probably saying to yourself, Whyyyeeeee? Wish we didn't have to wait for you to go back to detect that area. Looks to be a wealth of secret treasure there. I would've collected pottery pieces with different designs on them. If you're gonna keep one, you might as well display a variation of designs. On the (bark?) I'm thinkin' it may be some kind of leather (skin of a Giant? Skin of a big ol' Dragon? Hmm? Blackbeard?) I have found (bark?) like you found, but not saturated with water and super tough and hard, even found some resembling the piece you kept, when I picked it up it had too much weight for it's size and when hit upon a rock rang out like metal, yet the texture of it was unlike metal. : l Some pieces even have what appears to be round buttons/rivets of some sort, like they use to fasten leather purses or for holding metal bridges and other structures together. : )

[@louisaziz1235]

If you think that might be leather, let it dry out for a few days. Then softly rub mink oil into it several times. The result should give you the answer.

[@BrokeMoFo]

I think that black stuff he was finding is whats left of factory roofing?

[@ChicagoTRS]

Looks like some kind of tar product, roof would be as likely as any.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Its called asphaltum. Its renderd tree sap that the first nations people used to bind thier arrow heads,knife blades and hammer stones before they did the sinew wrap. Google it.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

I make it by the can full using birch bark and a clay pot and heat from a fire.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

@Jon Doe very nice observation. And you are correct. It never loses its smell. If it is asphaltum for arrow head etc hafting it has a terpentine kinda smell but even after hundreds of years will have a burnt wood like smell. Poke a red hot needle into it and smell the smoke. If pine smell jon doe hit the nail on the head.🙂👍

[@nchooksscot589]

I was thinking pine tar. We are the Tarheel state after all😉

[@dodecaheathenblue8132]

[@monke.insurgent]

Beau, do you thing you'll come to Oklahoma any time soon

[@calvinh.8882]

With all those red bricks and small car rail, there has to be info/record of what that place was. If that guy lives there I'm surprised he doesn't know what it used to be.

[@ChicagoTRS]

I have never seen so many artifacts strewn everywhere out in the open 😮 seems like a potential gold mine.

[@ramrodfishingoutdoors8155]

I think that black piece that you picked up was a piece a lever right ! 👍👍🤠🦀🦞🎣🐟🦐🧜‍♀️🚣‍♂️

[@lizzymoore54]

Why did you drop the agate? This was probably used to make arrow-heads. Always gather rocks that are not native to an area, it means it was probably brought in by the Indians as they traveled. That nice etched piece of pottery you left behind made me tear up. If they are not collected and preserved, they are lost to history forever, Beau, you of all folks know that. Beautiful place and some great finds but I was a tad disappointed in you this time, naughty Beau.

[@OutdoorsygalO]

So sorry to hear about the top of your truck. You got a soaker huh? Did the waterr go over the top of your boots? 😉 Looks like an awesome place to metal detect 😁👍🏻

If you go to 101 meridith drive Columbia South Carolina there’s a small feild with this brick structure in the middle of it that I think is an old house site i suggest you go down there and see if there’s anything cool to find it’s near Coldstream drive around the Irmo area

[@Wvnursey]

Fun hunt Chigg!

[@jaybales3160]

Enjoyed watching. I agree about detecting the area and maybe sifting some sand. If the history of the area is accurate there should be some artifacts, just not on the surface.

Hi Beau do you know if River Hunters will be shown in the US and if not is there a way we can view the episodes? Been watching your videos for a long time and I definitely don't want to miss seeing you on the boob-tube lol.
