Mostly artifact hunting and guitar pickin’. All videos are okay for kids to watch if they’re interested.
Arrowhead Hunting: Beautiful early archaic discovery!
Some other good finds are included with this awesome late season smoker. I also threw in a couple new artifact drawings and a few new guitar pieces to accompany the video.

Arrowhead Hunting Artifact Illustrations
Просмотров 237Год назад
My illustrations that follow are of artifacts either found by myself or various family members. They were all drawn to scale so the circles range in diameter from 1.5-4 inches. They represent a variety of types and ages of arrowheads found in our area. A few of the artifacts had slight damage that I was able to “fix” while rendering them. The ID of each is speculative so I appreciate any feedba...

This is a compilation of artifacts found while surface hunting in Illinois. A rare hardstone adze was probably the best find of the year. Artifacts are shown in situ. The guitar music was also fun to play and record for this video. Thank you to @JosiahSimon95 for collaborating on a couple tunes! Check him out; his guitar skills are definitely worth a listen. Thank you for watching, if you enjoy...

These are some of the creatures we had the privilege of observing on vacation this summer. A new arrowhead hunting video is in the works. The music for this video was played and created by me and played on an Artiphon Instrument 1. Relax and enjoy.

Picking up rocks and picking on guitar strings. No show-stopper rocks. No ground breaking guitar riffs. Just a chill compendium of recent finds. I hope you enjoy.

Arrowhead hunting in Northern Illinois
Awesome finds! That last one is killer
Congrats on an epic find. It's been a long time since the first owner touched that knife.
Now that is a beauty! 💥 Congrats man! 🔥
@@TheChiefSmokem sweet, thanks for watching! Best of luck in 2025!
A killer point! Congrats! The other pieces are nice too!
@@joemiller8965 yes, I was pretty stoked. Thanks for watching!
Hey Mr.martin it’s Isaac from last year. Do you still have my amazingly ugly chicken drawing on your metal cabinet?
@Liquid-dinosaur hey Isaac! Thanks for visiting my channel! I’m not sure if I still have the chicken drawing 😆. Have a happy new year!
Wow nice!
Killer find!
Do you know if the art, or do you only know the weapons ; the art is inside of the weapons too! 5:01
I’m not sure I understand. I agree that the artifacts are an art form if that’s what you mean.
Nice saves man
Nice Thebes
Nice finds brother, that thebes is awesome
@@thepeopledownriver9948 thanks, I was stoked! Checked out your channel and subscribed, you’ve had some great finds as well!
@illinoislithics2222 thanks my friend, it's been slow for me this year, but I'm sure it'll pick up
Wow friend, excellent hunt, that last one with the side notches is a collector's item my friend. Wow, Wow. BLESSINGS ALWAYS.
Nice recoveries, talent drawing them too, thanks for sharing 😎😎😎
Amazing art, both visual and audio!!!
good stuff ! southern IL here 🤝🤙🏴☠️
@@SkiSearcher Thanks for watching and the sub! Looks like you’ve got some fun content on your channel as well, subscribed!
@@illinoislithics2222 thanks !
New subscriber, I hunt them and make them myself. 😎🏹
@@RedEyedPatriot thanks for watching and the sub! I checked out your channel too and subscribed, good stuff! Do you sell your flint knapping? I’ve been looking for someone that could make a few 2-3” “points” shaped like Illinois.
Nice finds!!
Thanks for the visit!
Nice hunt 👍
@@shawnshepherd6708 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Your profile pic is super cool. Is that a fluted Illinois?
It is! Paleo Illinois! (Although I have yet to find a fluted point in Illinois, hopefully someday.) Thanks for watching! Just looked at your channel and gave you a sub, I will watch some of your vids tonight.
Nice recoveries man! Pleasure meeting you.
Nice meeting you as well! Best of luck on your hunts and I look forward to seeing your discoveries!
Nice season. Great finds. The pitted stones are always a bonus. 👍. I had a great season over in Hampshire, some Fox River finds, and some in the Kish near my house. Were those mink in DeKalb Co?
You hunt Hampshire? I'm in Huntley and haven't made my way over yonder yet. Any luck with creeks over there?
@@michaeljernigan6094 I have access to three separate farms. One of which has a spring fed creek that runs through it, but it’s narrow. Maybe 10-12’ wide (the running water). Bank to bank maybe 20’. - 30’. Yeah. It’s been pretty decent. I live a block from the Kishwaukee river, and do well in it too.
I’m in LaSalle county
Nice season. Great finds. The pitted stones are always a bonus. 👍. I had a great season over in Hampshire, some Fox River finds, and some in the Kish near my house. Were those mink in DeKalb Co?
The mink were in Lee County. Thank you for watching and best of luck on your hunts!
Do you post your finds anywhere?
@@illinoislithics2222 so cool! Thanks for sharing yours!
nice finds and nice artifacts congratulations🎉
Thanks and thank you for watching!
How did you learn to draw arrowheads like this? If you dont mind me asking.
Thanks for watching and your inquiry. I am an illustrator and art teacher, so really just a lifetime of practice drawing everything under the sun. It is fun to do studies of my personal finds, some that were broken can be “reconstructed” in the illustrations too.
hi mr martin
Nice find. I found a big chunky 4.5” knife in Hampshire on the 4th. Can’t figure out the type. Archaic to early woodland would be my guess in age.
Lasalle county
La Salle County here. Let’s chat
Thanks for checking out my channel! Do you hunt LaSalle Co? That should be a great area.
Uwu 👉👈
Great hunts!
This guy is my art teacher 😂
Wow! Very talented! Thanks for the show.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Very well done
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Just now finding your channel and subbed. Congrats again on all your finds and we are looking forward to more of your videos. Take care! 👍
Hey, thanks for watching and the sub! I just subscribed to your channel as well and look forward to checking out your videos. I only post about once per year but fingers crossed for a good year to come! Best of luck!
@@illinoislithics2222 thank you so much! We really appreciate you following the channel as well. Best of luck to you as well this year! 👍🏻
I assume you point hunt in Northern Illinois? I'm in Waukesha Co WI and we metal detected the yard of a really old farm. When we were done the farmer said "you gotta put those detectors down and look for arrowheads, they're all over the place (as he pointed to a field). So my son and I are going to go for sure. So basically in our region points are usually the white chert or gray?
Yes, I’m in northern Illinois. All over the place is definitely an exaggeration but they are certainly in your area. It takes time, patience and luck. And getting permission to hunt an area is also a huge advantage! Best wishes to you and your son; it is an awesome way to spend time together and a great learning experience if you find anything. I’d love to hear how it goes!
Wow that’s amazing nice find
Hey mr Martin 😯it’s me Joshua Emert 😁
Hey Joshua! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Wow. Killer find! I’m not far from you, I’m guessing. I watched your tornado video. I had just gotten off 88 at A.G. Made it to Taylor st. Headed west and got out west of Snooks about three miles and caught it there to my north. I figured it must have been up around Rich Rd, but never heard much about it after. I think it formed just north of Malta. Anyway, it’s nice seeing these beautiful artifacts get pulled this close to home. 👍✌️
Glad you enjoyed! One tornado that day was just north of Malta, as you said. The one I filmed was one of 4-5 that formed and dissipated on a path along Rt64. This one was just to the south of Sycamore.
Nice
nice finds
I don’t find axes but sure enjoy seeing em recovered, congrats 😎😎😎
Shaker worthy on that Thebes, congrats 😎😎😎
Thanks, it went from “probably some little broken fragment” to “OMG”! Wish that happened more. Checked out your channel too, amazing finds, subscribed.
Catching up on your vids. Man what a killer Thebes! Such a great pull too. Congrats
Thank you; that was quite a day! I could not believe from the smallest bit exposed how it just kept coming! Prob my most exciting discovery. Love your channel too. Funny, you/your man looked familiar and then I realized we follow each other on Instagram!
Oh, and had a killer day today, a very Good Friday! I’ll post that at some point...
That is funny! I kinda wondered if you were the account I follow on Instagram! Lol
What location is this?
North central Illinois.
@@illinoislithics2222 I was about to say, this looks like the Rock or Kish river. Now I know I don't have to go far to find stuff!
Any tips? I'm in central Illinois. Macon county. I really want to find some but dont know where to start. Thanks!
Beautiful guitar playing, are you able to tell me where you found this fossil? I want to go fossil hunting in the spring but don't really know where in Chicago
Thank you! Just checked out your channel, you play very well yourself and do you draw as well? You on Insta? I’d love to check out more of your work if you post it there. I can share a bit more of fossil hunting tips there too.
@@illinoislithics2222 I'm humble you are reaching out in such a king way, I have my insta handle on my video descriptions, otherwise you may look me up as @no_biggie_smalls
Great video full of beautiful Illinois finds!! That last one was a screamer! Thanks for sharing!
