When I was a kid living at a Children's Home in Denton Texas around 82 or so, a Family from Church adopted me so to speak and would invite me to their home on the weekends occasionally. They lived on a rather large property outside Denton and on their property was a historical registered landmark that was at one time a Native American encampment that also had large kiln where they would made pottery. There were a few creeks on the property and one day, I actually got to go and search for Arrow Heads. It was the most profound and amazing feeling in the world finding one. The Mother took me down into the creek and gave me a small garden hand rack and told me to start gently clawing away at the exposed earth on the banks of this creek. It wasn't long before 2 or 3 arrowheads feel from the earth. I was 13 or so then. I am now 54. I sure wish I had those arrowheads but they were lost by a kid, myself that didn't know any better. I remember being in a euphoric daze after finding the 1st one. And even better story is that I was in a relationship with a girl for nearly 8 years and during this time I got to know and become very close with her Family and in particular, her Grand Parents. Her Grandfather worked at a Concrete Plant in Florida in the 70's. His job was to operate heavy machinery that harvested sand from the land and shores of the property for this Concrete Plant. The machinery would scoop up the sand and pull it into large hoppers via a long conveyor belt where the sand would then be sifted to remove any debris. Part of this job was to watch the sand come up the conveyor belt and watch for large rocks, etc that could potentially jam up the machinery. The machinery was massive enough that he had a small area to stand or sit at, with a large umbrella and perform his job. Over the handful of years that he worked there, he pulled tons of spear heads from the conveyor belt. He actually showed me his collection and it was stunning. He had several very large spear points. Some were 8 and 9" long and all brilliantly white. All of them. One spear head in particular was 11" to 12" long. Some were broken as well. I told him I thought some of those very large speak points might be extremely valuable and that's when he told me that when they found those type of artifacts, the state of Florida required them to shut the plant down and call the state. But he said, they never did and would just continue working. I guess closing the plant down all the time would have cost the company a lot of money. This was over 50 years ago and he has since passed away recently. He had dozens of very large Spear heads. The exact ones you see in Museums. And again, all were brilliantly white and still razor sharp after all that time. I am no expert but whatever those spear heads were, it must be native to Florida.
I live in Denton.......I have been unsuccessful in my endeavors even though several people here have informed me of various Indian tribes that lived in this area ions ago. Where is this area near Denton, TX?? Jim
Scott, that was 15 minutes well spent! Your videos are both informational and entertaining. Your technique just keeps getting better and most importantly gets people coming back. You have quite a knack. Thank you for this great video!
The other day, I was telling my wife about how the guy on RUclips said that roots of the trees push things up. So we started looking and about a minute later we found a nice translucent point at the base of a tree. Thanks Clegg! We are believers!
Yea, it’s not super common but sometimes they are there. There’s a good chance, where you found that, there’s probably a lot more in the ground right around there.
Thanks for the shout out bro!, Your vids are always a vibe 👌, time traveling, flying , what's next ? 😂 I'm sure going to stick around and find out! 🤘, I'll return the favor and shout out a couple of smaller guys 🤙, keep up the coolness brother, your channel is one of the best 🏹
I am more of a night person. I work nights and sleep most days so I thought I'd never get a chance to look until you mentioned the flashlight method. Good idea! I'm going to have to try it!!
Yea, the creeks around here are all sandstone, and it’s everywhere. After a while of staring, it starts to all look the same. Flashlight definitely helps
Thank you, very useful information. I look forward to visiting a state where one can collect such things at public access, and they are not restricted by their being artifacts or other such controlled items of historical significance. I do very much enjoy collecting a wide variety of rocks when I can, and would love to find and keep a wider variety of nature based collectibles.
Thanks brother! You gonna go back to that dump site after some flooding? Hard to tell what you’d find. That crock was killer! Almost never find them intact like that.
@@cleggsadventures Most definitely, it needs some high water to wash some new stuff out of the bank. Once the ground cover is dormant, I should be able to see better and might find something I couldn't see when I was there.
Great video except one thing... One of my best artifact honey holes in my area, is a creek that runs between two hill-sides like the one in your video that you said they'd find nothing in. They most definitely can, and I hope that doesn't deter them from looking in those areas. Always enjoy your videos, keep on rockin!
Creeks around here are tough lookin’! Yea, I guess it depends on the area. I haven’t had any luck in the creeks between hills. Seems the hills are so high here, that the stuff never makes it down from the top. 👍
@@cleggsadventures yeah the hills here in Missouri are a lot different, im sure. Plus Missouri is so loaded with artifacts, you can find them in practically every field and waterway 🤣
Great video brother! I've collected for 15 years or so and have not been hunting for a long time, but these tips have inspired me to get back out there and save some history! Thanks!
Very interesting and useful info thanks alot bc I have a goal and finding me an Arrowhead is it im excited to get out and I apprechiate you for sharing 😀 😊
Got my sub, I’m an avid Metal Detectorist living in central Pa. Home of a lot of French/Indian war activity. My first point I actually found on a fort site. Been looking to get into this. I already know I’m in a good area. Just the other month we were hitting a field and a detecting partner pulled a native axe head out about right under my feet lol. Thanks for the info.
Well Jim Nall pretty much said it. But I'm still compelled to leave a comment if only to show that you have a fan Clegg. I always look forward to your videos. They are always informative. Thank you for your videos sir.
Good tips Clegg!👍I’m usually working 12-14 hour days at my job… I just gotta make the some time & go out and find one! Lol… PS, looks like it’s gonna be a very long season for the black & gold!🏈
I do look around large trees it makes good sence. the water runs down the trunk washes dirt away leaves rocks behind exposed. The creek between the hills maybe it applies where you are but here that's the best place to look of any you have shown . Sure you get the debries from the sides of the hills but the dirt washes downstrean leaves the rock behind. I have many sweet finds on my channel from looking these little ditches. ALSO you find more complete undamaged pieces. 👍👍✌💤Thanks for sharing.
@@cleggsadventures The too high thoughts may be what's up there and here may be the overabundance of rocks instead of topsoil. different places different results.
I know you're not a geologist but your projectile finding skills (and results) show that you have a good understanding of fluvial (river) dynamics, landscape evolution over time and even sediment-forming, settling processes, and flood-plain and terrace formation. Great fun!
Good information,I especially like the flashlight method,up here on the Delaware river the banks are,for the most parts, river gravel stone and after 10 minutes or so of staring downwards my eyes and brain become buggy. thanks 👍 keep making videos.
Man, I sure ‘preciate cha. Planned to spend Monday stompin’ around some creeks out here in the west Kentucky sticks-just waiting on that eclipse and hoping the universe throws a point or two my way in the meantime. I always feel well equipped, confident, and high spirited after watching your vids. So thank you, truly.
I appreciate the free knowledge I'll use it the rest of my life. I'm a marblel collector and artifact Hunter. I like finding Indian marbles. I even watch some Indian videos on how they made them I'm going to show my collection on my channel soon. Don't lose your marbles. Keep the great videos coming 🍻
Wow. Thank. I’ve watched hundreds of video s. On finding arrowheads. None have ever given a overall thing on finding arrowheads like u . Thanks. I wished. U lived closer to Maryland. I’d pay to give a tour . I might want to think about that. . I’ve always wanted to find. Just one. I’m sure a lot of people would love to pay to go out for a day. Just to find 1
This is awesome info! I'm novice hunter and have found many but I'm still iffy on the best locations for them. The river next to me is at an all time low and been that way for weeks now. Hopefully it stays that way for me next week when I have time to go and apply this knowledge. Thank you Clegg for passing on your methods! I feel like I'll have a lot easier time after seeing this. P.s. I'm also going to try out your method of putting a branch down in the ground a couple feet from the bank.
Here in central texas, though covered in digging campsites, gravel bar hunting is wonderful. What i teach beginners is not to look for shapes as ones mind cannot sift through the input so well. Look for material. No special colors for it varies in this area. A certain glint, gleam, what-have-you. Before long every piece of flint in an area will jump out at you, wont be long untilvyour mind will also begin noticing shapes, too, but it will be able to differientiate whats what.
Some that folks don’t even know about. Beep, if you haven’t seen them yet, check out the two videos I made last year about the Ancient Adena ruins. Interesting there’s an article in the comments section
Great video and we enjoyed watching. We are definitely going to have to get a drone. Very good information and intuitive. Happy Hunting and God Bless my friend!
Great information!! I sure know about golf courses lol been hit a few times. I love the stick trick! nice birds eye view a little bit of a rough landing though lol love your videos keep them coming. Take care.
I just love your antics Clegg! 😂 I actually found an arrowhead while stepping off a curb, into a parking lot! Of course, this was out west, near an Indian village. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about hunting arrowheads and tools. ☺️
@@cleggsadventures, I read another comment and realized that your name is Scott. May I refer to you as Scott, next time I comment? Thank you for responding. ☺️
I haven't found any projectile points, but I've found a lot of stone tools (mostly hammer/pecking stones). Your vids help a lot, and the editing is amazing. I like that you actually flew a drone across your town during the flying segment. Hope your channel grows, and thanks for the tips.
Love your channel. I live in SW Ohio. I have found two complete points in my garden and one broken one. I understand my fields are rich in artifacts. I need to get them plowed so I can find them. I'm about an hour from the Ohio River. Have fished there a lot, but never did any hunting. Really want to do it some time. There are also a couple of creeks near me I want check out.
Clegg's next Adventure: How to master flight!! I also used to have success checking out eroding sides of hills!! Some of my own personal best finds with a higher frequency of unbroken arrow and spear heads.........I like your idea of a concentrated flashlight beam and believe this combination could usher in even greater results!! Jim C.
Great information for sure. If you get caught walking to Tennessee River with one piece of flint can cost you $1,000 fine! Don't ask me how I know I know LOL
@@cleggsadventures I've only found 1 full arrow head and it was in a farmer's field after he plowed. However had I seen this video, there's a huge creek right beside an Indian burial mound maybe half a mile from the field. I bet that had I looked in that creek, I would've found many more.
I can’t believe that you found that arrowhead by the tire!! I live in Williamsburg, VA (location of the Jamestown Settlement). I’m going to have to take a walk down to the James River a few times.
Good information so I feel I need to reciprocate on one of my most productive methods. Groundhog dens. When the groundhog digs them on a slope or a creek bank they will push the rocks out with the dirt as they dig. Weather will was the dirt away but the rocks will stay put. Dig it up and go through it by hand or if water is handy use a screen to wash out the dirt and clean the rocks up. Just have to wonder how many groundhogs have cut their paws on a discarded blade while digging a den.
@@cleggsadventures it seems to me the best place to find them is just inside the woodline at the top of the bank which puts them just slightly below the top of the slope. Better still of there is a hay field of some sort next to the woods. A lot of the time they will have a dive hole in the field which connects to the main den entrance which will be in the woods just a little way from the top of the bank. But you don't have to have a river for there to be things to find. Because as you say the river will wander over the years and what is a mile or more off the river now may have been right on the river's edge thousands of years ago.
Very informative. The camera work was awesome, I lmfao. 😄 The flashlight thing hit me like a spit wad in science class tho, but makes total sense. Been wanting to get into some creek hunting, yet to do it. I've surface hunted nearly the entire eastern half of Ohio for nearly 40 years but never in creeks etc. Like to watch all the videos out there to pick up tips and techniques for spring 23. Great vid 👍👍👍👍
I used to surface hunt in cultivated farm fields. The best time to hunt was in the spring, after the fields had been planted and then the rains came. You could walk up and down the rows and when you were lucky ....
Great informative video, Scott! All but the Steelers attire 😅 haha Loved your shoutout to Chief Smokem too! Can’t wait until I can start finding enough to make decent content 😅 I give this a 10/10 tho 👍👍
Thanks Cleggy, very useful insight! I think this should help me find my first artifact. Hey I’ve wondered about looking around the holes of tree stumps after a big tree goes down. Even looking through dirt in the root system of a large newly fallen tree . Ever try this, or think it could be another possible way to look?
I thought of this also, but all the ones I’ve seen so far have been on the side of big hills. I bet if you found one on a nice flat somewhere, probably have a good shot. They bring up a lot of dirt.
Hey James, I always thought the same thing. I have been crawling under and into the holes of fallen trees looking since I was a kid. And still haven't found one in there. But I won't give up. I'm 46 years old now and I still climb down in the hole to look. That feeling of finding that beautiful piece of history cannot be replaced. In my opinion of course.
Just found your channel and have watched several of your videos, Informative to say the least. And BTW, your nuts, in a good way. Despite all that I can only give you a 1.5 score on that landing
Have you ever been to the knap-in at Flint Ridge? I stumbled across one of your videos through a YT recommendation. You immediately looked familiar to me and the only thing that I could figure was that I might have met you at one of our Flint Ridge knap-ins. I've been digging and collecting Flint Ridge for about 45 years and especially like when you show your Flint Ridge finds. Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
@@cleggsadventures let me know if your ever interested. I'd be glad to take you on a tour and and even hunt some artifacts. Are you a Flint knapper by chance?
Awesome video and great info for people trying to get into the hobby like myself. One thing I did not see you cover in this video that I have run into is when am I allowed to sift or dig on the banks of the river? Is it legal to dig for arrowheads on the river say in the city limits of places like Cincinnati or Dayton?
Look at the laws of your state very closely. I'm in Indiana. We are not allowed to pick up any artifacts from public lands or public waterways. I've read news stories of very hefty fines. Indiana does allow digging. As long as it's not public land and it isn't a known Indian site. And you have permission from the land owner Read the laws of your state very closely. If it's still unclear to you. Inquire with your department of natural resources. They'll have the answers you seek.
My husband loves watching your videos! He is thinking he might want to try your technique. Do you have the material list and what size mesh wire you use for your sieve? Keep up the good work!!
I enjoy your videos but I have to correct you on something We hunt Native American artifacts in eastern Kentucky And we creek walk a lot every single creek almost is between a hillside way in the forest We find a lot in those creeks And the light is a great tip
Thanks!
Thank You, Very Much Appreciated Kenny!
Helps a lot, things are so expensive. Thanks for supporting the channel.👍

Stay connected 👍
Much Appreciated 👍
I just love your antics Clegg! 😂 I actually found an arrowhead while stepping off a curb, into a parking lot! Of course, this was out west, near an Indian village. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about hunting arrowheads and tools. ☺️
Thank you Lizzy
@@cleggsadventures, I read another comment and realized that your name is Scott. May I refer to you as Scott, next time I comment? Thank you for responding. ☺️
@@lizzymoore54 You sure can ❤️
@@cleggsadventures, thank you Scott. Enjoy the rest of your day and week. 🤓
I really enjoyed your flying. Thanks for the tips as well! Hope to find my first point someday.
Much Appreciated. You’ll find one
Good stuff...enjoyed the flight too! 😂
Much Appreciated
Another Great Video !! THANKS for all the work you put in doing these!! I alway enjoy + learn ALOT
Thanks Rich👍
I haven't found any projectile points, but I've found a lot of stone tools (mostly hammer/pecking stones). Your vids help a lot, and the editing is amazing. I like that you actually flew a drone across your town during the flying segment. Hope your channel grows, and thanks for the tips.
Very Much Appreciated Johan! I find some stone tools also. I had one dated in my last video.
That is a great informative video and very well done 👍🏹
Thank You Much!👍
Thank you for sharing the advice and experience. I'm trying to find a location to apply it at.
Thanks Roy👍
Good method video- I enjoyed that . 👍
Thanks Much👍
Love your channel. I live in SW Ohio. I have found two complete points in my garden and one broken one. I understand my fields are rich in artifacts. I need to get them plowed so I can find them. I'm about an hour from the Ohio River. Have fished there a lot, but never did any hunting. Really want to do it some time. There are also a couple of creeks near me I want check out.
Sounds like a great area! Maybe sift that garden 👍
@@cleggsadventures Saw your dome house video. I wish I had a fraction of your industriousness. Beautiful place.
@@douglascarkuff1969 Thank you, took me 3 years to build. Lots of math involved.
Good pointers Clegg👍👍👍
Thanks Guys!👍
I’m subscribed to chief Smokem 👍🏻. He is cool
Yea, he’s great!👍
Love the special effects in your videos. Makes them very unique. 🙂
Thanks Penny, that was hard to rig up.❤️
Wish I’d had some doll arms to put on it.
Absolutely the best video artifact hunting
@@warrencrabtree9779 Much Appreciated
Clegg's next Adventure: How to master flight!! I also used to have success checking out eroding sides of hills!! Some of my own personal best finds with a higher frequency of unbroken arrow and spear heads.........I like your idea of a concentrated flashlight beam and believe this combination could usher in even greater results!! Jim C.
Thanks Jim! Flashlight helps for sure.👍
Great information for sure. If you get caught walking to Tennessee River with one piece of flint can cost you $1,000 fine! Don't ask me how I know I know LOL
Wow! That’s crazy. Some states have strict laws.
Best arrow head finding tutorial on the internet, thanks.
Thanks Donnie👍
@@cleggsadventures I've only found 1 full arrow head and it was in a farmer's field after he plowed. However had I seen this video, there's a huge creek right beside an Indian burial mound maybe half a mile from the field. I bet that had I looked in that creek, I would've found many more.
@@donniev8181 I’d definitely check it out. Creeks are tough, points are scarce and tricky to see. Go really slow and get really low. Good luck 🍀👍
So Cool, good luck with all your endeavors you're the man!
Very Much Appreciated 👍
I found an ax head in the side of a creek bed near my house.
I brought it to Cornell, but they couldn’t date it.
Nice!
Wow great video.. I look forward to this summer here in Manitoba Canada to try and find my first arrowhead !
Good luck!👍
Great video thank you
Thank You Cindy👍
Comic relief! Thanks for the laughs ans the info!
Much Appreciated
I can’t believe that you found that arrowhead by the tire!! I live in Williamsburg, VA (location of the Jamestown Settlement). I’m going to have to take a walk down to the James River a few times.
Thank you for sharing you experience!
Thank you
Great video!
Thanks Brad👍
Love the videos- great stuff! Thank you! Except for the Steelers stuff! lol (who dey!!)
Much Appreciated
Good information so I feel I need to reciprocate on one of my most productive methods. Groundhog dens. When the groundhog digs them on a slope or a creek bank they will push the rocks out with the dirt as they dig. Weather will was the dirt away but the rocks will stay put. Dig it up and go through it by hand or if water is handy use a screen to wash out the dirt and clean the rocks up.
Just have to wonder how many groundhogs have cut their paws on a discarded blade while digging a den.
I have heard the same. I haven’t run across any yet.
Meadowcroft Rock shelter in Avella PA was discovered in 1955 when Albert Miller was checking out the diggings from a groundhog hole…..😊
@@Aquabob1 I’m not too far from there. I plan on checking it out sometime. Supposed to be one of the earliest shelters in the county. Look very cool.
@@cleggsadventures -My wife and I went there on Saturday, it was so well worth the trip…. I had always wanted to see it…..you won’t regret going….✌️
@@cleggsadventures it seems to me the best place to find them is just inside the woodline at the top of the bank which puts them just slightly below the top of the slope. Better still of there is a hay field of some sort next to the woods. A lot of the time they will have a dive hole in the field which connects to the main den entrance which will be in the woods just a little way from the top of the bank. But you don't have to have a river for there to be things to find. Because as you say the river will wander over the years and what is a mile or more off the river now may have been right on the river's edge thousands of years ago.
I been collecting my entire life, from every state I have visited. I get way too excited when I find a artifact. How are you so chill about it?
I usually try to calm a bit before I turn the camera on. If I find one with the camera rolling, you’ll see I’m probably the same as you. 👍
Very informative. The camera work was awesome, I lmfao. 😄 The flashlight thing hit me like a spit wad in science class tho, but makes total sense. Been wanting to get into some creek hunting, yet to do it. I've surface hunted nearly the entire eastern half of Ohio for nearly 40 years but never in creeks etc.
Like to watch all the videos out there to pick up tips and techniques for spring 23. Great vid 👍👍👍👍
Creeks are tough looking. Around here anyway
I used to surface hunt in cultivated farm fields. The best time to hunt was in the spring, after the fields had been planted and then the rains came. You could walk up and down the rows and when you were lucky ....
I found several in tire ruts near a creek. The previous drivers unearthed them for me.
There ya go👍
Great informative video, Scott! All but the Steelers attire 😅 haha
Loved your shoutout to Chief Smokem too! Can’t wait until I can start finding enough to make decent content 😅
I give this a 10/10 tho 👍👍
Much Appreciated Tori👍
But wait it gets better…. I’m cracking up laughing at the flying footage/scene 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! You can pretty much expect some antics in most my videos.
You’ll love this one, I travel back in time.
Indian Artifact Find of a Lifetime!!
ruclips.net/video/lEmS5BvHDK0/видео.html
Awesome Dude!
Thanks Steve👍
Thanks Cleggy, very useful insight! I think this should help me find my first artifact. Hey I’ve wondered about looking around the holes of tree stumps after a big tree goes down. Even looking through dirt in the root system of a large newly fallen tree . Ever try this, or think it could be another possible way to look?
I thought of this also, but all the ones I’ve seen so far have been on the side of big hills. I bet if you found one on a nice flat somewhere, probably have a good shot. They bring up a lot of dirt.
Hey James, I always thought the same thing. I have been crawling under and into the holes of fallen trees looking since I was a kid. And still haven't found one in there. But I won't give up. I'm 46 years old now and I still climb down in the hole to look. That feeling of finding that beautiful piece of history cannot be replaced. In my opinion of course.
Just found your channel and have watched several of your videos, Informative to say the least. And BTW, your nuts, in a good way. Despite all that I can only give you a 1.5 score on that landing
Thanks Tony, I try and make it entertaining. I have fun with it
Your great and the absolute best thing is I have never heard you say please push the like button.
Have you ever been to the knap-in at Flint Ridge? I stumbled across one of your videos through a YT recommendation. You immediately looked familiar to me and the only thing that I could figure was that I might have met you at one of our Flint Ridge knap-ins. I've been digging and collecting Flint Ridge for about 45 years and especially like when you show your Flint Ridge finds. Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Much Appreciated Michael👍 I haven’t been there, was wanting to go to the last one, but wasn’t able to make it. Next year maybe
@@cleggsadventures let me know if your ever interested. I'd be glad to take you on a tour and and even hunt some artifacts. Are you a Flint knapper by chance?
@@MichaelScheffer Thanks a lot! I’m no Knapper, but looks like a good hobby.
Awesome video and great info for people trying to get into the hobby like myself. One thing I did not see you cover in this video that I have run into is when am I allowed to sift or dig on the banks of the river? Is it legal to dig for arrowheads on the river say in the city limits of places like Cincinnati or Dayton?
Thanks Much! You’ll have to ask someone down there, I’m not sure of the laws where you are.
Look at the laws of your state very closely. I'm in Indiana. We are not allowed to pick up any artifacts from public lands or public waterways. I've read news stories of very hefty fines. Indiana does allow digging. As long as it's not public land and it isn't a known Indian site. And you have permission from the land owner
Read the laws of your state very closely. If it's still unclear to you. Inquire with your department of natural resources. They'll have the answers you seek.
I love this video its funny and has a lot of information.
Much Appreciated Phil👍

Thanks for the tips! I hope I can use them soon! By the way, love that Steeler shirt! 👍🏽
Much Appreciated! Wish they were playing better this year
I wish they were too!
Good stuff!
Thanks Mike!👍
It helped me! I’ll let you know how much after I try it.
Right On 👍
Great fun. I live near a river in which Native Americans made their home. Think I’ll give it a go.
Good luck out there
Hey Scott, very informative video butt, I dont hunt data way. Is there a tip you could give a guy like me who surface hunts fields?😜🤘🏻✌🏻
Fields is not my area of expertise, you’ll have to make that video 👍
I enjoy your videos but I have to correct you on something
We hunt Native American artifacts in eastern Kentucky
And we creek walk a lot every single creek almost is between a hillside way in the forest
We find a lot in those creeks
And the light is a great tip
Best channel 💯💯👌👌
Very Much Appreciated
I was planning on making a video about this too! But i think you did it better than I ever could haha
Can never have enough “How to” videos. Make one Brother.👍
@@cleggsadventures will do! I was gonna talk about using headlamps in creeks at night too it really does help you focus
awesome channel and information, if I come over , will you teach me how to fly?
Oh yea!👍
In a very small creekbed between 2 hills i found old worked flint walking a deer trail.
