Ghost Pipe - Herbal Painkiller & Anxiety Relief

I hiked for 9 miles to find this rare and elusive parasitic plant. Ghost Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) also known as Indian Pipe is known for its anxiolytic and pain suppressing purple elixir. Please note, the plant due to its parasitic properties and assocation with russula mushrooms could contain mushroom originating toxins depending on the host species such as russula subnigrans. It also contain...

How To Make HCl From ONLY Salt and Water!
I probably have 1000 spearheads, knives and other tools. I've found about 10 arrowheads, and 4 of those have a broken stem. Both of my properties are loaded with stuff, especially pottery
Sorry but we have lots of points in New Mexico
lots compared to missouri?
We have a lot of flint in Indiana
👍🏻
Louisiana, lucky to live in the native American mother load
I live in southwest Ohio, in the Miami Valley and if you look down when you’re walking along a creek or by the edge of a field, I can almost guarantee you’ll find an arrowhead.
I live on the st croix river in Minnesota and we have artifacts around my house
Your map is stupid so is your assement of 5000 to 1😂😂😂 the fact is out west the artifacts are on public land and its illegal to DIG THEM back east people excavate thier own land destroying acrcheological sites with abandon
I’m in San Diego and have been looking for points for awhile now with no luck. Done research on locations but still haven’t yielded anything that I know for certain is a artifact.
In northern CA, I've found tens of THOUSANDS of knapped obsidian arrowheads and spear points. Also fishing weights, pestles, and even huge raw obsidian nodules. In Oregon's Rogue River area, I've found countless knapped agate points, mostly carnelians, etc., as well as some obsidian arrowheads.
This was so rad! Thank you.
Well done brother. I live in Arkansas and finding artifacts here can spoil you.i have family on Anderson Island on the sound and looking there will "check" that part of me that thinks I'm just good at finding them 😅😅😅 l8r man stay cool
Anyone who studies the Great Basin region and walks along the ancient lakes and river bottoms is highly likely to find points in Utah, Nevada, California, etc. The best places to look are on high ground close to ancient lake beds. Occasionally, you'll also find rings of stone on the ground, which are the remnants of family and individual shelters. A lot of large game lived in this region 10k years ago--bison, Mammoth, camels, horses, etc. The region was mostly grassland and forests back then. I luv walking this ground. Utterly quiet. Extremely serene and beautiful.
I live in Central CA, I find arrowheads & cutting stones made by local Indians long ago. Not sure what these stones are exactly.
I'm in Quitman Texas and I have arrowheads in my yard
Montana is RED? - you've obviously never been to SW Montana, I go to places that you find one with every kick of dirt!? - WOW!
I lived in central Montana and I've been over in that area. Sometimes you can find arrowheads there if you're along a low elevation river but square mile for square mile, you're sorely mistaken if you think they're common for the whole state. Go watch my video on Part 2. I actually take a look at Montana and go on an in-depth explanation
@@MountainJohn Warms springs, the Bighole Valley, Anaconda, DeerLodge, thousands of arrowheads, only 59 years living in SW Montana, yeah, I must be wrong, sadly mistaken, delusional in fact, I'll talk to some friends and tell them thems are NOT arrowheads....
In the absence of cheating in the PNW, is there anything we can substitute for making gun flints? I am in south central Oregon.
Rhyolites and high silica content basalts are your best option.
I tried anyways….i found 😊
I grew up in New Mexico and we would find poterty a lot. Occasionally we would find arrowheads. Fossils were all over the place though
Tons here in Virginia. I live in the holston river watershed and from the amount of artifacts, there must have been a massive population for centuries.
Bad info I'm in oregon we find arrowheads we have more obsidian then any other state
Hard to find stone points in upper michgian but copper ones you can
I’ve made some cool things out of river clay
Put a video up about it so we can see :D
Did you collect the jade your self
Yes, Thanks for watching
Naans cute af
Great job looks good 👍
Ever since we moved to NE Michigan (lower peninsula) 2 years ago, I've been gathering 'heart-shaped rocks' for the wife from trails, rivers, and beaches. From matchbox size to doorstop size, they're everywhere! Just saw on another vid that they're actually artifacts/tools (the notch at the top of the heart is the work of a human.) She has a great collection of them, and gets new ones often 👍
They are in every single state😅
density wise, they are not equal whatsoever.
Excellent presentation of this material. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Complete nonsense. Europeans did nothing of the sort to corn. Its modern form was well established thousands of years earlier. If you went back to precontact america you'd recognize it just fine and it wouldn't taste any different
Hi Js-wp4gs Native Americans were the first to transform teosinte-a wild grass with tiny, tough kernels-into early maize through selective breeding. Their innovations increased the cob size, kernel quantity, and edibility, making maize a staple food in the Americas. When European settlers encountered maize, they spread it globally, but it was in the United States, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, that breeding efforts intensified to create the large, sweet, yellow corn we commonly see today. American agriculturalists focused heavily on increasing the sugar content, size, and overall yield of corn through more advanced hybrid breeding techniques and eventually genetic modification. This led to the development of modern varieties like sweet corn, which are larger, have higher sugar content, and feature distinct yellow kernels. In contrast, Mexican and European maize varieties continued to prioritize hardiness and versatility for different culinary uses, rather than size or sweetness. While Meso Americans made corn into the larger and edible maize (corn) it was the European blooded "Americans" who in the 20's and 30's made "Corn" as we call it the giant yellow ultra high fructose grain we know today.
Getting worked up over some corn

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! i love hearing other peoples opinions on stuff like this in such a format. Thanks
yeah, I made this BECAUSE no one seemed to have made this kind of video so I had to be the change I wanted to see lol. Thanks for watching
The majority of California used to be a lush marsh/grassland. With about the most fertile soil ever. Lots of game to be hunted. Tons of obsidian to be quarried in the sierras, and Monterey chert at the coast. I’ve got a friend with probably close to a hundred stone points from the California north coast around the rivers and creeks. There is plenty there if you know when and where to look. But you’re not finding piles of hundreds pouring out of an eroded river bank.
Kentucky has so many they often get thrown into House foundation
So I’m in Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Michigan. Our entire region and lake was formed by massive glaciers. Does that mean I should forget about finding any real chert around here?
I said if glacial till covers any amount of footage in your soil and it was not previously- you know what, watch the video 😂
Can anyone name a point that is obsidian, two plus inches, thin and pointed at both ends found west side of Cascades
Sure, I'll name it. I dub thee John the Pointy Rock!
@AZ-kr6ff Yes you are correct, also the only one who knows. Now I can put a label on it and display it proudly. Thank you.
@@Cowdogis My work here is done! *Whooosh*
Good to know on the looks alikes for black green basalt not being jade or nephrite,however theres a man here on RUclips that's a jade hunter last time he went up to the cascade mountains and found a kind of jade with these black veined swirl pattern in it,along with it being lighter green not lime green, just a different just more or lighter green in colour also,hopefully his finding was a tyle of jade from the site he located it
Good video!! Made so much sense.
Idk wth yor intro was but I clicked on your videos to look for more rock videos. I seen this 1 in san Antonio there is a park named Eisenhower park. 4 years ago living in my vehicle I wen off a old blocked trail drove I a huge bush so I can make a number 2. Right as u lightly spaded the ground not even 1 inch I found a broken arrow head even as a child in boy scouts I never got my arrow badge bc I couldn't find one. I was that kind that always finished last just like now. I wish I could send u san Antonio flint but I can't pay the shipping. If u have a Facebook page I could show u scraps I toss out u properly can use
I'm no geek like this fellow BUT if u collect rocks & grew up to hobby collect cut chip make stuff out of ROCKx then yo a dweeb. Thank u a trillion thins videos was more then what I wanted to know & a 4 year degree in under 10 minutes. I can't thank u enough. This videos needs more thumbs up. I live in san Antonio nexto sea world. I'm in my mid 40 & taking up my childhood hobby slicing open chert, flint & making spheres cut them half to put on a custom made silver belt buckle. I make what ever I feel want like making. No I don't sake stuff bc I can't compete with temu & no1 buys American hand crafted stuff. I always wanted to know how what u said & having to go to school for long time. Right after high school I had to start working. Thanks
yeah, worth the watch. Thanks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve found a lot in California. Mainly because any points stick out like a sore thumb compared to the surrounding rock.
Doubt it. There are none in California
@@LowridersdoggsNo arrowheads in California? What was I finding?
Very cool 👍
What were those herbs
Ashwagandha, Cordyceps & Yerba Mate. Thanks for watching.
@@MountainJohn Any time man thanks for the information you have a good one brother
Here's y'all a free tip.. No matter what state you're in.. Become an amateur geologist. Find the good quality chert/flint in the area you're looking/hunting for stone tools/artifacts... Find where it outcrops.. limestone outcrops.. You'll find more 'arrowheads'.. KG
Go watch my video on where to find Chert as I explain that chert only exists in pretty much the green areas on my map here. Thanks for watching.
I found a red chert arrowhead and it's flakes while herding sheep in central Montana. It's like an indian was fashioning an arrowhead then left it all in a hurry.
I found a absolutely perfect arrowhead in Minnesota.
whens the best time to look for them?
If you'd like to find them after the seeds were dispersed, September for most of the United States. If you'd like to find them prior to seed dispersal when they are most potent, the spring or early summer. Thanks for watching.
@@MountainJohn thank you
I was born and raised where the kootenai Indians lived along the river. We found all kinds of stuff. Arrowheads, stone grinders and stone bowls. They also stacked rocks in a long curved line. It was really cool as kids playing in the woods where Indians once lived.
I hunt in California I’ve got thousands it’s not red for me . Good luck
