My new favorite channel. I live in Lincolnia Park, Alexandria, in Northern Virginia and every time I've gone walking in the stream valley parks around my house I find various stone tools, scrapers, and other artifacts. I've even come to enjoy looking at old maps to see where old creeks and roadways used to be, and have even come across old garbage dumps. I wouldn't know what to look for or where to look without your expertise, so thank you very much for your work and. Your passion for this is contagious. Keep up the great work!
My uncle used to live in Leesburg Virginia by a golf course that had a pond in it or a few ponds....and they found all kinds of arrowheads in a stream by the pond
You will do good man. All it takes is effort......and the effort......it changes your life for the better. Get yourself.....3 or 4 places to go with flint and fire rock and you will find stuff. I also recommend getting a metal detector to just take with you. Arrowhead hunting is hard sometimes.....metal detecting is EASY. If you have one with you......and you know how to use it even a little.....you will find stuff.
Thanks for bringing us all along on your adventures! Watching your videos has been my favorite thing lately. So from your experience, sifting the base clay is pretty useless? Have you ever found an artifact way down in there? Also, if nobody picks up these artifact points, do they eventually get into the water? Do you ever sift in a few feet of water?
Thanks John. All you have to do is get out on the water and look around. If you are out walking around......you are going to find stuff. I hope you get onto some awesome finds
Christian - I have also found that black sand is a give away for a near by Indian camp where they had fires in the sand. Great video! Thanks & take care.
There is powder gold in that sand too. Not alot....but f you set of a sluice....you will find some--I may do that this year. It is not worth it for the gold....you do not find enough....but you will find some....which is kind of interesting.
Yea....it is. All of insane amos points from last year.......Thfat really awesome translucent green one and all those smokers came from within a few feet of these this week.....and over the past 30 years....hundreds of them off the same beach.
Man! Good stuff! I'm a new sub. You are a great educator and encourager. Love your excitement and the way you explain what you're doing and why. I hope some of your best finds ever, are in the near future! Keep doin what your doin! 👍👍
You are one of my favorite you tubers Rocks! Someday I’d like to get with you for some hunting.....I’m in Byesville, not too far from you....another great video!
Ok..its all base clay and just "Cleaning it off". The best place to locate the base clay is higher up toward the top of the bank.....then you can follow it down toward the shore
Great vid and good info. Nice point even with the ding. I like finding effigies too. I don't know if you like'em or not. Either way. Best channel on RUclips. Thanks, Rocks.
Hey brotha, good for you on the cat and taking something else in! But I'd do the same, in up to 2 and half cats. The half seems to love me , so guess she's almost mine! Also one dog, all given to me, or put on me! Turtle last yr ran away that was given too! Anyway, great for you, keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
Yea....it sucks people dump out animals like this. Somebody just threw this poor little guy out. He was abused and hungry when I found him and he is just now OK.......he is doing good.
Ever heard of people having luck finding arrowheads in Greene County PA? We have some property with a small stream running through it. Thought that might be a good place to sift.
hey rocks @6:36 when your pointing to that piece of flint it looks like a large piece of sand collard flint right above your hand I wasn,t there but it sure looked good to me
It does....but what it is is a piece of the base clay I was skimming off. That is a perfect example of how I do it. I skim off a thin "sheet" of the clay and that is why that looks like that. Notice how the color of it is the same as the BASE CLAY i show. That is all it is. I pick up every rock off the beach when I leave....I threw that out in the water.
I found that to be true up hear in Minnesota , everything old and new was right on the base clay old and new, found a nice copper spear point in mint condition because of that clay
Glad your able to legally hunt like you do. Around here they've made it illegal to even pick up garbage that might be 50 years old. No sh-t!!!. We occasionally find points and such fishing the Columbia river but are supposed to only look and not even pick up....OK Funny how one of our favorite fishing spots has now been closed to us. That area had thousand of natives living for who knows how long. A very artifact rich area that the local port authority really wants to develop/ I guess it's fine to screw fishermen and history in the name of the almighty dollar. Sorry just my rant.
It is all private owned here to the low water mark. I can sift anyplace I want except Islands in the river and federal land along the river. The one thng you cannot do in the Ohio river is go up and down the river in a boat and walk beaches. That is where it becomes Illegal. You are trespassing/stealing from landowners. That is what is going to ruin it for hunting where I am. ZERO of the Ohio river hunters on here have any permissions to hunt for artifacts.
Yes. Texas has some of the best arrowheads in the entire United States. Amazing relics in Texas. Watch the Channel "Coyote Arrowhead Hunting" He is in the deserts of Northern Mexico I think. You can find some of the same stuff he is in Texas...plus different stuff. Type Texas Arrowheads int a search engine
Rocks C., I thought Onondaga is only in NY state? I like little kitty and squirrelman. Would like to have a squirrel pet (without getting bitten) or an oppossum!
It is In Pennyslvania as well. I was close to the border of PA on this hunt. There are other sources of the chert......they have just not been documented. It is all over the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. I have some more CLASSIC big chunks of it I will try and show in the next week or so. It is the same thing with Crooksville/Brush Creek chert. The source is listed as Crooksville Ohio.....but the same stuff outcrops in various sites all up and down the Ohio Valley. The biggest quarry of crooksville chert is in Fly Ohio.
The material they are made of comes from other sources like flint/chert mines and river gravels. All the artifacts are IN the high bank. I do not dig into that....I wait for all the stuff to fall out of it after high waters.....then after it is down I sift the pockets of the fire rock with flint flakes in them. You will want to see the fired/heated rock...and the flakes
@@rockscousteau Thanks for answering an old mans questions Rocks. I've only hunted Colorado and it's way different here than there. I love how you explain what you are doing but was just wondering why you don't dig the high bank but I get it now. You wait for it to get concetraited kinda like gold. Happy hunting brother.
Hey Rocks, enjoy all your videos. Keep on going, you are a great teacher.
Hey, thanks!
Great job! Lots of goodies!Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome

Very good informational video. Thanks for sharing the tips and advice.

Another beautiful Amos, I believe you may have discovered a cache. Thanks for the great tips, Rocks.
Yea....it is. All of insane amos points from last year.......Thfat really awesome translucent green one and all those smokers came from within a few feet of these this week.....and over the past 30 years....hundreds of them off the same beach.

This video taught me something no other artifact video has. I never even heard of "base clay" until now. How did you learn this?
You are one of my favorite you tubers Rocks! Someday I’d like to get with you for some hunting.....I’m in Byesville, not too far from you....another great video!
Great job bro!!!! In a year of watching I never heard you mention that chert??? Love it!!
Glad to see you sifting again!
Ok, you answered my question. Thanks Rocks. Happy hunting.
Ok..its all base clay and just "Cleaning it off". The best place to locate the base clay is higher up toward the top of the bank.....then you can follow it down toward the shore
Thanks this video helped me understand the artifacts rest on that base clay great tip , good luck on your next hunt my friend
Great video, great finds! From Peaky Diggers in the UK
Cook video.. thanks for sharing..

i got stray cats too. somebody has to feed them. happy new year!
Yea....it sucks people dump out animals like this. Somebody just threw this poor little guy out. He was abused and hungry when I found him and he is just now OK.......he is doing good.
I got one like that long skinny one. I found it ten feet apart from each other. Like the dude broke it and was pissed and kicked it lol.
good video!!! good info!! thanks

Rocks. hey you Rock!. great to see your success. congratulations!
very best to you and yours. 2020...yea! t&mrs.
Cute kitty 😺 I have one also and she just turned 10. I have to say I'm not finding anything for points. Is sifting the best way to find artifacts?
thanks rocks. much appreciated.
Thank you for the great tips! Happy hunting.
Hey 20:25 what's that just above your knuckles ?
Thx buddy!

At 6:35 there is a point I think
Can you imagine what's in that river
There is more stuff out in the river than on the beaches. But it is all buried under feet of river mud out there.
I'm first tonight Rocks!
👍👍👍🐶🐶
You missed a blade (6:35)
Na its just a rock man
Your cat's not as big as the one I used to have she was a Siamese Persian her belly drag the ground
Look at my profile pic. I changed it so u could see it lol
Looks super awesome. I found a Lance Point a few hours ago. Bout the same as a Scottsbluff
