[@chriscourson2824]

I am so glad you are posting more often now!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Chris!

[@ISAG2424]

Our archaeology group used to put old shovel heads at our 0/0 points so they could be found and were referenced in our reports. The pins are a good idea.

[@shooter3083]

You're in the good stuff now, Zach!! Congratulations to all of you!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks man!

[@robertcarmansr.204]

You guys are awesome the artifacts are amazing I've been working on archeology for most of my 66 yrs thanks to my father's work. Majority of it has been Lenape artifacts from New Jersey and Delaware. We have a museum in Bridgeton NJ keep up the great work catalog everything recording depths

[@Christine_J]

Absolutely amazing finds! Such craftsmanship!! I love that you are teaching your young'uns as well.

[@scottmeacham1738]

Oh my my, an exciting video! I dig have to go back and watch the cave dig, I missed it. ~ Texas

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@quad50mg]

I really like you guys . I am a beginner ,but I am finding lots of early Paleo type rubbing stones and crude hand axes . Sometimes I'm not sure if they are authentic , but most of them are grinded and grooved.

[@kbtruck65blair64]

Amazing finds in the field. Beautiful pieces.

[@nicolemegyeri5267]

That pottery...💘

Fantastic Finds and tell sylus your son he did an amazing job building that little village I liked it alot

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Mandy! I will tell him.

[@HeartbreakerRelics]

Man oh man! What a site! Yall are doing it right by marking your dug spots. That penny idea is brilliant! Those pieces are deep for late Archaic early Woodland. Just goes to show you the geology is so different from area to area. Congratulations guys!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Spike. Those large pieces have us intrigued for sure.

[@historylooker7]

Good looking spot..

[@canadianphil421]

You are awesome thx for the awesome videos

[@pinebeltrelics8055]

Cool site fellas!!! Lots of goodies rolling out!! The gorget was super awesome!! Look forward to seeing what all that place produces!! 👍🏻

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks fellas

[@kalithechamp1412]

That translucent beauty 🥰🥰. There’s NO WAY they just grind roc to a point. There has to be a special way to make that

[@jeffnelson9420]

Onward!!! GET'ER DONE!!! Some of those spear points must have been fer Wooly Mammoths, Saber-tooth Tigers and other big a$$ critters. Oh and that Banner Stone is great...it also could have been broken during a ceremony. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Jeff. And yes, some of the bigger stuff has us fascinated.

[@En_Marche]

Great finds, guys!

[@indianasmith8152]

Some great finds there!

[@dewey_digginnc4946]

Good stuff for sure. Keep at it. Even though yall found some crazy stuff. I guarantee there's going to be something in there that's going to be stupid good

[@JoeandAngie]

Don't know if they'd let ya or not, but I have a buddy who flies a drone over his massive property (s) along the creeks and river about 50',100 yrs away and can spot old fire rings on the land. Not just our sized campfire rings, but big, communal/village-sized rings. Amazingly effective. This is D Boone and D Crockett lands and peace treaty/trading area, as well as a huge warpath mustering site. Poor-assed, stove-up and pert ne're give out me can just dream about it.

[@Good_day_dema56]

Yo u ready for morel season it's almost here for us!

[@artifactaddiction]

You guys are definitely into the Copenas on that site. Looks like a ton of work, but a lot of fun at the same time. Good luck on the next dig!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@unearthingappalachia1947]

Man you all are in the stuff now looks like he found the sweet spot.

[@sonnypate6808]

You're on the hill and on em. That piece at 13:36 is a flint celt. It's not crude at all it's very well made. The part you called the base is the bit. They're just like a hard stone celt for wood working and scraping. Betcha a axe or something killer comes out up there. Best of luck.👍👊

[@ZachByrd]

Holy cow, I do believe you are right!

[@MUDSWAT]

Wow, some really nice artifacts. Happy Hunting!

That quartz point look like it might be a straight stemmed point.

[@mauricenations7511]

No telling what you’ll find out there. There ought to be some boatstones, grooved axes, pipe bowls. I have all of that stuff I’ve found since I started looking when I was 10 years old in 1967. I have a pretty good collection from digging and surface finds from walking 10 gillion miles. It gets in your blood man. Keep up the good 👍 work yaw.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@rattsalad6769]

That’s a heck of a spot y’all got. Awesome finds.

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@keepitreal477]

I'm addicted to watching. I would get a light and stay all night. I'd beg the farmer to not till right there. That's such a major place that's rich in history.

[@ZachByrd]

I sure wished we could dig there all year

[@thomasjunkins6491]

[@dmar114]

Awesome finds!!!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@lesjones7019]

I have hundreds of them.

[@eastkentuckyexplorer5448]

If all else fails y’all can go in to the grave digging business lol. I found a promising looking rock last week that I m headed to the first chance I get. Didn’t look like it had ever been dug and I know artifacts have been found in that area.

[@ZachByrd]

Good luck man

[@smokeeater8387]

Holy smokes brother! You are on one of the best sites I’ve ever seen👍🇺🇸

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks. And yes, it is a very special place.

[@CalvinsCorner72]

7:30 another Madison and it’s translucent. 👍

[@kurtbogle2973]

It would be nice to give those artifacts to the people that they came from. I'm certain they would appreciate it.

[@cassidylockard1527]

Hey man where can I get a probe like the one you use ? Thanks

[@rainstorm7905]

What region of Georgia is this? I just got into Rock hounding for artifacts and I'm in North West Georgia. Literally 10 minutes from the final hold for the Cherokee Indians before they were walked down the trail of tears. Not trying to find your spot by any means just trying to compare for my location

[@normawinton6832]

Your never gonna get anything done in that hole with them two keeping you from it! You did find a beautiful keeper though. Congrats guys!

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks Norma

[@thepeopledownriver9948]

Killer finds guys, right spots paying off

[@ZachByrd]

Thanks!

[@CalvinsCorner72]

How did that 4 feet of overburdened dirt get their? Wow

[@scottnock5241]

Very nice!! I can’t believe you guys are finding that deep?? How in the world was that occupation layer that low back then?? How did all that dirt get on top of that site??

[@ZachByrd]

I have no idea but there's about 4 different artifact layers and the artifacts get older the deeper you go.

[@Eden_Quest]

I kept thinking the same thing ! I have so many questions about the depth to be on a hill. Amazing

[@jimjoyce962]

What material was that gorget made from?

[@charliesaba9851]

O.K. I m new at this. Someone explain what the rod that Zach pushes into the ground is and what it does. Thanks!

[@sonnypate6808]

It's called a probe. They are used for finding bottle digging sites and for finding artifacts. You go around a site and try to find concentrations of rock. Once you use one for awhile you can hear the difference between flint and other things like fire pit stones. You want to dig where the concentration is the highest. Hope that helps.👍👊

[@detecting_with_matt3643]

Dumb question, but what was that piece that was 4ft down that you tripped over for?? Lol I’ve been metal detecting for 5-6 years and have never found any points or anything 👀

[@ZachByrd]

It was a broken gorget. Very rare find.

[@endlesscapturestysonkinnis8347]

Covered in feet of dirt. Can you say mudflood evidence!!!! Cheers!

[@thomasjunkins6491]

Decorative stuff lol

[@CalvinsCorner72]

[@nonanarcisse8094]

What do y’all do with all artifacts found?

That was a drill the tin ones

[@mooneagle4772]

Zach, can I come on one of your digs?

[@ZachByrd]

If we get on a property where we can bring folks, we are considering inviting some subscribers.

[@headhunter7049]

How close is the spring from this site?

[@ZachByrd]

It's actually in between the big spring and a smaller spring. I'm going to say 5-700 yards

[@andrewcross8244]

Them rock overhangs are money spots I found an excelsior point and a few long stemmed dart points right near an overhang like that. NW California. Beautiful stuff, dudes

[@kydo97]

if you bury pennies, make sure they are pre 1982 copper pennies, not modern zinc ones. the zinc pennies will corrode and disappear.

[@lsxtmt4910]

Looks like he is getting down into some neo

[@ZachByrd]

This place is getting crazy

[@drcurioustube]

Gorgets are atlatl weights

[@ZachByrd]

That is definitely up for debate. Every artifact book I own states that no one knows for sure what they were used for.

[@johnwatson6632]

The indians ate what was in them shells and they would put the shells in one spot. I want to say its called smittens are something like that

[@ZachByrd]

I believe they are called middens. We're finding most of our stuff just to the side of the holes with the shells

[@brysonbutlerrelics9353]

Jesus died and on the third day came back to life for you believe and trust in him.. killer finds your on a awesome site!!!

[@aamantium1]

It would be really cool to be able to assemble a piece of pottery and give it to the tribe that made it.

Pottery can be thousands of yrs old. Giving it to its "tribe" isn't a thing outside of missipian period ceramics but even then, they don't deserve ownership to those artifacts any more than the men out finding them.

[@aamantium1]

So, only tribes that existed millions of years ago would appreciate a gift that was potentially made by their family members, 100s of years previous to its unearthing?

[@potawatomimko6108]

Technically speaking this is still property of a tribe. Lol not saying I care. But someone may. Who knows on 2022

[@johnwatson6632]

Yall are probably in a indian villiage. Why dont u google the history of the place your digging and u might can find out if it was an indian villiage

[@ZachByrd]

It's a village. An archeologist has been out here in the past.

[@johnwatson6632]

@@ZachByrd Yall have an awesome place to hunt. I dont know about how u came up with your pocker to pock for the rocks. The reason i ask is because about a month are so ago i mentioned something about getting some small rebar and grinding a point on it just wondering if any of my advise helped
