Ive been treasure hunting for 10 years now and this find tops them all. We were sifting near the river when my shovel uncovered an ancient, personal Native American artifact. Hope you enjoy the video.

Have you contacted a historical society yet? Proper excavation of a site can reveal more than the artifacts themselves. Get some pros in there
Makes sense because of its a seasonal camp, the points are gonna be concentrated in a smaller area., and taper off as you get further away from it
Looks like a huge piece of flint. Probably really good flint if it was buried, perfect for knapping. You can usually tell by the way it sounds when you tap it, although you guys probably figured out what it is by now. Great finds!
Imma start putting little cameras on ants now.
For anyone interested the arrow head at 10:08 are obsidian arrow heads
Even cooler when you think about it being volcanic glass
Not a single one was obsidian that would be a very rare point to find east of the Mississippi and they 100% would have said it was an obsidian point.
I think the nahuas came through that area you guys been finding alot if obsidian there
Nothing more to say, except astounding.....amazing!!!! Congrats Zak! I'm happy as Hell for you!!
Thanks man!
Imagine 3 of those linked together worn around the neck.. No master Archer is gonna want that clunky rock stuck to the side of his arm that could catch the string when when hides and leather are readily available to use.. Great find
I came to say this. Thanks!
Yellow rock looks like it's Jasper. It absolutely could have been used for knapping.
Hey Zach, great finds as always! I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I have a cousin who is a geologist. He graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines. I'd be happy to put you two in touch. I don't know how much he knows about Native American artifacts, but I do know he's pretty much a genius. He wanted to be a paleontologist at age three, and pursued that until he graduated from college. He was happy with geology at that point. If he doesn't know the answer, I'm sure he knows someone who will.
The best ones are away from those trash piles your digging.
8:58 Zach. They didn’t make points to just drop them. They made them for hunting and war. Are you on the East side of the river?
If so they stopped on the East side to knap them points on their way to make war and that was usually in summer. So good springs that didn’t dry up was key. Just some insight I have read.
My wife is the history getter. She can tell you about anything you want to know. Never heard that one. I was told that they were alot friendlier than what was written. I know this area use tobe a big trading spot.
Zach is the South Carolina? I visited sone of my exes relatives in Conway and they had a farm that looked very similar. I’m from Oklahoma and just found your channel. Look forward to checking out some more of your content. God bless you and yours.
We aren't allowed to dig for Indian artifacts in Wisconsin. You can only pick up anything on top of the ground. We look on field that had just been plowed.
You can dig in Wisconsin on private property just like every state
That’s awesome finding that gorget! Congrats to both of you! Maybe y’all can piece together some of the pottery? Hope y’all find a lot more great stuff!
Thanks!
If yall are on a hill digging dont u think it would make since to get at the bottom of the hill because the rain washes the artifacts down to the bottom.
I thought the two hole stone was like a counter weight for a “ATLATI”. Maybe wrong but possibly that. Either way a killer find.
Working material yellow jasper......BIG chunk trading for tool making the spot to meet to work.....at least around the area.....1000s of years ago nature weather moved some things buried others.
HOW COME NO HUMAN REMAINS?
Not stationary .......hunting moving about!
When your phone rang during the cleaning I thought it was background music post-edited. Now that would be a low-tech way to add music in the background during the arduous digging and then other music to dramatize the finds. Just thinking out loud.
Or... copyright infringement and video dropped...?
The gorget was awesome! No way that big rock was there naturally. What it was used for I don’t know, but Native Americans were a lot smarter and a lot more resourceful that people of today are.
Thanks man! And I agree
WOW! Nice Find!!!
That is outstanding, I've NEVER seen such a nicer artifact ever found. Maybe one or two in 14 years but not many! If anything other than a rock. The big rock has a pretty round hole in it. I presume maybe a fire rock? Cause it would make sense they made items around a fire. Maybe if the hole is still open look for charcoal debris/burnt wood. Happy Hunting, congratulations you earned that Gorget!!
Thanks man!
i believe you guys are followers of Jesus and i really get into what you guys are doing on this channel ... i do the same kind of things and enjoy a lot ... maybe too much i just dont want you guys to loose sight of the truth .. the pure truth of jesus christ he told me tonight that all of these things we find and love so much can and will be gone in a breath .. heavy stuff i know i only make this comment because i .. dont know why i just am .. because you are my flesh and blood ... i love you although i have never meet you ... but i see the righteousness in you and am only a reminder of what you already know ...
Probably years ago when the field was leveled out. Just a buried rock I'd say.
I love how you can hear the excitement in his voice
Brilliant! As a European I guess we don't think so much about North American archaeology
It's there in all its glory...
mite think about a wiggle pick the big size...get wall about 10 ft wide 3 foot deep.then use wiggle pick to knock off large sections of wall off. then set ur sifter on ground suspended between them way easier to use and u will covercover 30 feet on 1 day....just my advice.let me no in responce ill send u pics of how i do it ull be very suprised i think
Yes email me some pictures. My email is in the description of the video.
Man yall are Blessed to have such a great place to dig and hunt those artifacts! Great finds!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Too bad you don't have ground penetrating radar
Not sure that would help anyway
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
Great content. I bet you learned a lesson about standing in the shade when capturing the find of a lifetime on video. Always pay attention to your lighting and shade
Well, Apparently, Spadefoot toads are good luck! Lol. They are definitely cool critters. You earned a sub today.
yup, burrowing buggy eyed lil feller. He was skeered sh*tless when you were petting him.
Thanks!
Can anybody tell me about the gorget i found on my channel?
Could be an anchor stone
New sub! Liked 🎃🙏😃🌙🇮🇪😀
Jasper
It looks just like the jasper I hunt here in Montana
My guess is a seasonal hunting camp, and maybe an exchange point between tribes bartering materials. The obsidian in some of those points are from a distance
Nice gorget
Good Morning Zack 🖐👍😃
We usually dig all the way to the hard pan or clay whichever comes first. I have been on sites that was producing up to 7 feet deep before. We dig a few test pits to find the hot spots and check the depth.
Two hole gorget it is a pendent worn around the neck?? At least that's what I've seen in south Georgia saw a bronze statue man woman and child the man was wearing one in the statue anyway who knows nice find.
Depends they also use to attach them to atlatl for weight so they could launch atlatl darts farther and get better penetration on larger game like bison and mammoth a long time ago. I think thousands of years later after they switched to bows they probably started to wear them for some reason or we just think they did nobody really knows anything it's all just theory really.
Definitely a rock.
Is that a Bannerstone Zack ?
BANNERSTONE Zach ?
That's a Spadefoot toad
I hope you haven’t thrown the big rocks back in yet? Have y’all found any dough balls? If you don’t know what that is look it up. I love tools and can ID them usually.
Brave or dumb?
Dude!!!! I have only found one that was started. That’s beautiful. Hey wait till you find a pipe!!!!
No not only awesome but EXTREMELY TOTALLY AWESOME Zack great fid sir👍😃🖐
It's their homeland boys. 😏
ours now, boys : )
Meteorite
I can imagine just like a kitchen right pottery with the catch or seeds but you spot right.
U go back to after a hunt. Clean up used tools, 👌 then loadd up your archery tools, bows & arrows. Armor protection...
Congrats brother the material of the gorget looked like steatite. God bless
I've noticed that when you get close to a, well, base camp. No points! More tools of every shape possible. Knives galore. Good luck! Hopefully you find something more amazing. Don't know a whole lot about the area I'm at. It's all mixed up!? From dinosaur to now.
4:13 them y’all call chunky is called stacks. Them stacks are high spots on the points they was trying to knap off but couldn’t. They are not thin but are very hard to break. That’s why we find so many. They don’t break so easily. Just saying
Makes perfect sense Calvin
Gorgets are atlatl weights
And obsidian arrow points weird did nahuas trade there atlatl was a war weapon used by them while most used them for hunting so war probably happened they found alot of obsidian points
More awesome finds! I had not had a chance to watch the last one till tonight and was surprised to see I get to watch two !
Thanks man!
That was were the women camped. No points but gorgets.
Did you figure out what the big rock was? What state are you in
What the f was that
an ancient flux capacitor
Killer gorget!
You hit gold when you find big grinding mill stones!
Congrats Zach on finding that gorget! That's awesome brother!!!
I would say its some kind of Toad? But I'm no pro so don't take it as gospel and all the dirt on it makes it hard to tell.
Would testing the dirt around it help determine the age better?
Incredible find brother. I could watch you guys yanking artifacts all day👍🇺🇸
Thanks man!
Super cool find!
Huge congratulations Zach. Hard work is playing off.
Dough balls artifacts
Zach!!! You got to wear it! Please
They was worn around the neck. Use leather.
I hope youre not talking about the giant boulder ;-)
@@sharonb537 lol 😆 yeah that be funny
Great finds fellas! That is a KILLER gorget!! Is it made of steatite (soap stone)? Keep 'em comin' love what y'all are finding!
Thanks!
Such a unique place to search for artifacts and really interesting finds. What advice would you have about how to ask permission to look for artifacts on their land?
I would just knock on their door, tell them that you are very into history and that you've researched the area amd feel that there may be artifacts on their property
regarding the placement of artifacts and associated material..ive observed the surrounding area and imagine how the area would have appeared when it was a village or lithic work site
Well we've found 4 middens already.
Nice find congrats!
Toad
Sweet!!!!
Thanks brother!
Awesome find Zack! The last point with the white at the top was beautiful!
Thanks!
Awesome hunt, guys 👌
Thanks!
Im happy you finally got u a dam good one Zach
Thanks man
Onward!!! Congrats!
Thanks!
I love you meteor….
Haha
Nice!👍
Thanks man!
love the vids
Thanks!
@@ZachByrd yup i love to see the notification the you uploaded
Jesus died and on the third day rose again from the dead for you believe and trust in him he loves you!!! Awesome video
Amen brother!
Saved by Grace 🙏🏼💜🙏🏾
Jesus my gardener? Naw he didn’t die. Just on a siesta.
I’m sorry but that Jesus story is a bunch of bull shit.
@@Lohanujuan I pray that you change your mindset and come to the cross before it’s too late.
Jesus Christ died for us all.
Well back in the day, they would have different areas where they would do different things, also they would throw broken flint and things in areas so they would not cut their feet, it would almost be like walking on glass. So it seems like you could be in and area where they discarded things they didn't need anymore..and other things could have gotten lost in the area...just my point of view
A lot of the points that are real chunky as you say could have been done by novices, just learning the trade and discarded because they didn't like their work, or some other person made fun of their work. Much like kids today
Oh! And awesome find by the way
Been wanting to learn to hunt for arrow heads and artifacts. Just don't know how to start.
Find a good creek or river. You can easily hunt sandbars. I will say finding a creek on private land and get permission is the way to go. I think most states allows private property hunting.
