@@chancesmith1031 I’ll have to do that one of these days when I get some free time. It may be in several parts. Most of the stuff I have is broken unfortunately.

@@bnasty267 that’s just what the engineered drawing called for. We were able to put each beam up close one at a time and then nail them together once in the air. It’s a whole lot less to lift that way.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures Makes sense. The I-beam required a lifting jack and 2 other guys helping. If you do these often enough, it's worth considering the jack or rental, since it's hard to beat a nice I-beam. If you're doing hangers, I'd totally just use a lam to make it easier with no steal drilling.

@@BigLeo8772 the original beam was a joke. It’s a wonder it didn’t break years ago. It was actually hanging from a hip rafter by one 2x4. Once the nails gave, the beam snapped in half.

@@rtrilla lol. I wasn’t casting it as much. More of swinging it into the current and holding it there like a minnow trying to get upstream. They were coming up and smashing it.

@@aarongreen5577 too cool!!! He is how I found out about those petroglyphs! It’s a cool area. Just hard to get to. I sat there for the longest time trying to imagine what it looked like back when they carved it.

The water level was quite a bit lower when we went there. It's a really cool site, that very few know about. Edison was a really neat dude, I'm pretty sure I was the last person to talk to him. He loved showing me his book collection.

@@aarongreen5577 I don't think they want to many people to know about it. You tube wouldn't suggest this video for people to watch for some reason. Glad you found it.

@@aarongreen5577 Thats awesome. I appreciate you taking the time to check out the video.

@@artifactaddiction you and me both. It’s only happened twice in that field. I have several blunts but most of them are snapped in half like that. Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate it.

@@scruff5644 wasp and hornet spray that I found in the cabin. No telling how old it was. Had to be the good stuff.

It’s teeth still in a jaw bone.

It was massive. It’s one of the largest engineering feats of all time. There is some cool videos on here about it. It’s called the little river drainage project. It’s a big system of canals and levees that divert numerous creeks and rivers out to the Mississippi River. There are still small protected areas of the swamp that still remain. Most of them are full of Indian mounds.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures That is history i didnt know, what county or counties is that located in if you dont mind me asking. I was going to buy a piece of property in Illinois. That border the Mississippi river and was next to the Is Shawnee national Forest. I was interested in Deer hunting it. But my now X talked me out of it, what a mistake. I wasnt into Arrowhead hunting to much then, but i am now. Wish i had that property now. That is crazy that was a swamp, it is good to know not all the mounds were destroyed. Its it private property or state property were the existing mounds are. Sorry for all the questions, im a new subcriber to your channel. Even though ive watched some of your videos from before. Take care and best of luck saving those artifacts from the plow and farm machinery.

@@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey most of the mounds are on protected wetlands sites. Some are privately owned but they are still protected. I’m not sure how that works. The swamp covered multiple counties. It started just south of Cape Girardeau and runs all the way down into Arkansas. I’ve seen some old maps of southeast Missouri when there were several huge lakes that covered most of it. Most people have no idea they live in the middle of it. It stinks you missed out on that property. Probably worth a small fortune now too. Thanks for checking out the videos. I appreciate it.

Yeah it could have been. I’ve found several broken drills in there. I’ve got a couple mid sections of some that are huge. Almost 3/4 of an inch in diameter.

The wind is the only reason I went out there. 😄. Those Godars are very well made. I’ve got a lot of them from that field. Most of them look like those two.😄

Hey Kevin. It’s been hard to get motivated to get out in this stupid heat and unbearable humidity. As soon as you step out the door it’s like trying to breathe through a hot wet towel!😆 I took the girls camping this past weekend. We spent the whole day in the river. Of course I saw all kinds of cool stuff to film but didn’t have my phone. That’s always how it goes. I hope you have a wonderful day Kevin. It’s storming here so I got out of work. Well the hard stuff. There’s always paper work to do. 👎

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures Hope it starts to cool down for ya Trey.

Prepare to have your heart broken!😄. That machinery is hard on the artifacts. Every once in a while one makes it out alive. One tip I have is if you find a concentrated area of artifacts follow the rows out away from the spot. I believe the whole points get caught up in the equipment and dragged away from the site before it falls out. I find most of my whole points on the outskirts of where they were camped. I wish you the best of luck out there.

Me too. Fall and winter are my favorite times to get out. You can always put enough clothes on to stay warm. You can’t take enough clothes off to stay cool. Legally. 🤣. It’s been awful. We went camping this past weekend and tried looking for points in the river. Only found some flakes washing out of the bank.

Its been miserable. I've been building a two car garage on the side of a house with no trees in sight. Makes it really hard to get motivated to wonder out in the mid-day sun to look for points.😆

It's got that look to it. I was thinking it may be a Kramer. I've found a few in there before. I just wish that Godar would have had the tip on it. It was very well made. It has big thinning flakes running up from the base. Almost like it was fluted.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures yeah, they were a knife form starting out.

Thanks man. It’s been slow going here lately. Not from lack of trying.

It’s been brutal!🥵. It’s not bad as long as your in the shade and not moving.😆. Most of the spots are either grown up or the corn is already 8ft tall. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures They drug the disc over our place and finished planting beans, yesterday...Hopefully get some rain on the Campsite field... Brutal for dang sure....lol

@@historylooker7 Heck yeah. I hope something good washes out. I seem to find more points when they plant beans. It's like they are just lying flat out.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures Yeah, more deer sheds too, in the spring 👍

Thanks. Hope your having some good luck as well.

Thanks. I appreciate you checking it out.

Thanks!

Thank Leland. I appreciate it. You’ll have to check out some of my older videos. We find some strange artifacts up on the village site.

I bet so, I'm active on like 30 channels, but I love it!

That’s awesome. That little creek in that video is loaded with fossils. The county road that runs next to it used to be called fossil lane. Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate it.

Thanks. I don’t find them very often. It’s usually the tip or the base. I have a small one that was made out of some sort of archaic dart point. It’s like it broke and they used the side of it to make a drill out of. My brother in law ran over it pulling into the field we were going to hunt. Luckily it was a sand field.

That stinks. We need the rain but I can do without the damaging wind crap. Hope it washed something out for you.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures Thanks man, you too 😎👊🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thanks. I definitely needed the exercise after all the bbq I had this weekend. 😂.

Thanks. I wish that drill would have had the tip on it. I either find the bases of them or the tips of them. Never at the same time. 😂.

Thanks. That drill was worth goin back for the camera. Best of luck out there.

I didn’t have to ride very far but I have to ride up a huge hill. About 600 ft of elevation gain The village site was on the edge of a big cliff that overlooks what would have been an old swamp in their time. It was a big surprise to see that drill. It was very well made. I wish you all the best and hope you find some amazing stuff.

Thanks man. Best of luck to you.

Man you can spend hours looking at those over street books. I’ve always got mine out trying to figure out a point type.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures yeah, it’s amazing that there’s such a variety of point types, I’m trying to study up on them, not to good at retaining knowledge though lol, I’ve burnt way to many brain cells but they are very good to have, he sent me a book about all the Georgia tribes too, been studying up on that one too, GL&HH Buddy!!!

Thanks.

Thanks. I’m still learning how to make videos. You’ll have to check out some of our older videos. We have saved a lot of neat artifacts over the years.

Thanks!!!

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures you're welcome 🤗

Thanks. It’s been slow going here lately. We are finally getting some rain.

😄That’s what I do too. One time I walked a field for 3 hours in the freezing cold. When I was walking back to the truck I found a point about 20 feet away from were I parked.😂. Thank you for coming along on the adventure. Hope you all are finding some good ones.

😂. They were a hoot to watch out there. Thanks for checking it out. Hope you all are finding some good stuff.

It’s got a lot of points in it. It runs into the Mississippi River about 4 miles down from where I was at. In the 1700s there was a trading post that was set up to trade with the native people. I keep thinking one of these days I’ll find some beads or a trade pipe. A guy can dream right.😂

Man if I had more places to hunt I would. All my fields have already been planted and the village site as already been picked over until it rains again. It’s hard for me to even find time to go myself. That’s why most of my hunts are filmed by myself. I rarely get time off when other people are off.

😂. They tried getting in my van with me when I was leaving. They seemed sad to see me go. 😂

Those cows break so many artifacts up there on the village site. I have literally seen cows standing there with huge pieces of pottery sticking up between their hooves. Years ago I found a really nice point in one of their tracks. It was standing up on it base like it slid right between its hoof.

@@SeMoArtifactAdventures I'm also from southeast MO. Fredericktown Mo

@@devinpinnon4209 heck yeah man. Thats a cool area. Me and the wife and kids camp at the silver mines all the time. we also like going out to Marble creek campground too.

@SeMoArtifactAdventures silver Mines is some of the best smally fishing you can do! Anywhere on the st. Francis is good arrow head hunting!

@@devinpinnon4209 for sure man. Catchin smallies is one of my favorite things to do. I just restored an old cabin on the st Francis down around Lodi. We were catching huge bass on that section. Both smallmouth and largemouths. I didn’t want that job to end. 😂. We were staying there through the week while we worked on it. Catching fatties every night.

Thanks. It really made it difficult to film anything. I’m just glad they turned out to be friendly. It didn’t seem to be the case when they first charged me out of the woods. 😂
