You'll Never Believe what I Found Sifting this Spring for Arrowheads Civil War Surprise

  • I decided to take the kayak to a very impressive spring that I found years ago in North Georgia to do some sifting for Native American artifacts. I found quite a few signs of Indian activity and a bunch of 1800s artifacts, however, the most surprising find was a civil war scabbard tip. I found it after moving several large rocks at the spring mouth. I have a feeling this site will continue to produce for quite a while. Hope you enjoy the video.

    My Dad and I used to go out with his metal detector and we had a lot of fun. He died in 1996 and I will be 75 years old in September and can't get out in the woods any more due to my health so I was very happy to find your channel and remember what fun it is to be out there either using your metal detector or looking for Native American artifacts.We looked for them also. I subscribed and thumbs up. Steve

    My step brother n I were in NM caving near our house. We got in about 15ft when we heard an eerie screech much deeper in. We left immediately but searched the surrounding area. We found lots of deer sized bones and scat! That's when we left and never returned. After several days of pondering, we figured we found a mountain lion den. Scared us both for weeks

      I assume you know you could be gambling on picking up stuff on the Tennessee river. I know I live close to Chickamauga and I love hunting but found out it was illegal. I hunted for years on private property but scared to hunt on the Tennessee. I see people do it all the time but I would be the one they would make a example out of.

Be sure to get the key to the map as well. Try to get them waterproofed if you can. I’m gonna sift through the creeks and rivers of Saltville Virginia this spring. It’s where two Civil War battles were fought. Can hardly wait. 🇺🇸
