Thats the first piece of raw agate I think I have seen you pull! I also found a flake recently that reminded me of Flinting Scandinavia’s flake blades. We talked and it turns out it was just a super narrow thinning flake driven across the face of a point. Knapping your own tools really does assist when trying to understand what youre holding and how a tool broke or flake was driven, when in the process, and where. Fire video sir!
ECL, I'm always impressed by your knowledge base. You have a good understanding and wisdom beyond your years. I really mean that. The stuff I hear you say is most frequently right in line with what I hear the old timers say who have decades of knowledge and experience. You must have an appetite for learning AND someone who is a good teacher. I'm betting it's a little of both. I agree also about what you said about how knapping helps you understand the artifacts themselves. That is sooooo true and I think it is critical that anyone who is interested in finding and learning about artifacts needs to practice knapping at least every once in a while. Thanks for the great information and feedback. I think you're dead on. Glad to know you also watch Flinting Scandinavia! Although, I think you and I have discussed him before. More people need to watch his channel! Edit: Yes, I rarely find agate and I was really happy to find a decent specimen. It's not in abundance here. If you just just a couple hours north into Missouri or East into Arkansas though, you'll find loads of it.
Hey, I really wanted to thank you for all the watching you've been doing! I've noticed you have watched several of my videos and commented on them lately and I really appreciate that. It's exciting for me when I see someone going back and watching past videos and new videos alike. Hopefully, you are enjoying. Thanks again!
Hopefully the old timers left me some scraps, lol! I can't ever get out until weekends so i've been nervous all work week watching those water levels go down. But you know how that goes!
I am too! I'm always afraid I'll come across a body, lol! I laugh, but I know that it can happen. We have a pretty large (and growing) homeless population on the river out here. Sadly, It would be easy for one of them to have an accident or an overdose and not be missed by anyone.
Yea that rain blew out the rivers around here as well. Really been finding a lot. Picked up 2 Graham caves, huge blade and a killer banded hard stone piece. Can't wait to get out this weekend and hit a few spots. Never know whats going to pop out next. L8r brother stay cool
Oh heck yeah! Congrats on your latest finds! Those Graham Caves are beautiful points. Good luck this weekend, i'll also be out putting my eyes across some gravel
The rains here in the area where I live, they don't come for a year and a month, sometimes up to three years go by without rain. Thank God we have many places to search and we can search all year round. I hope that when those gravel bars are exposed, you find great things my friend, it's almost certain. Still you found some interesting things. Greetings and blessings to my great friend.
Thank you, Coyote! I bet you get really excited to go arrowhead hunting after those very rare rainstorms that you get. I bet they wash out some good finds!
Wow, thank you so much for saying so. I do try and present as best a product as I can but I'm not always sure that i'm much good at it, haha. Thanks for the encouragement!
Brother Shadow, Awesome finds, man 💥!! I'm excited for you, beings that the river has been reset for ya !! Gonna be real good when the rain settles down some of the sand and mud !!😃👊 💥⛏⛏🪶🍀🍀
Well Aaron you had a good day on the river. It's been 20 yrs since I floated the river near me. It was a weekend thing for me and my buddy back then. The Agate is awesome and I'm sure someone on here can identify it. The antler looked like it had been scored and cut? Did you check it out with the microscope? I guess I'm rambling again. LOL Hope all is well my friend? Many blessings.
Thanks Kevin! I rarely find any good agate specimens. Not much of it in my immediate neck of the woods, sadly. I think there is a strong chance the antler was cut by man. I haven't put it under the scope yet but I probably will. Maybe i'll make a video of it and post it!
Lots of nice saves! It will be exciting to see what winter will bring you. Nice mermaid foam floating down the river. Was it my imagination? Or was that a creepy face on that last piece you found.😊

Congrats on the new finds. Gotta love the feeling of walking up on a fresh gravel bar after a washout
Yes! It's such an exciting feeling. Especially when you don't see any other foot prints, haha
Super cool video 👍

I'm glad your Halloween find wasn't spooky. 👻🎃 🙂

You do a great job on the whole video. From subject, to set-ups, scripting/voiceovers, etc. peace

Thank you, Norma! Could have been a spooky face, indeed!
Looks a bifacial graver but the tip’s a bit blunt. Typically unifacially worked to a single spur.
Interesting! Thanks for providing me some feedback on that!
