    It's always nice to fine someone that's passionate about something. I live in northern Missouri but have never gone arrowhead hunting, due to a lack of knowledge of what to look for and an understanding of the craft. You are an inspiration.

    The natural phenomenon happening is identical to what happens when you stand at the shoreline and let the waves wash up and back over your feet. The water flow and fluid dynamics lowers the density of the sand around the obstruction and your feet sink. The stick is causing the same circumstance and any errant rocks/arrow heads that get too close fall into the low density well where they're trapped. Similar to a gravitational pull.

      Correct, they will actually be in a funnel shape around the stick

      ​​@@cleggsadventuresou ever watched Richards rockhouse here on youtube? Have you ever heard that the women and children of the tribe usually made the points? I can't remember if I read that or watched it on a documentary but I know some historian said that the women were the ones that made all those perfect points because the men were usually out on long hunting trips.

      @@cleggsadventures it makes sense once you think about it. Have you ever watched an of Richard's videos over on Richard's Rockhouse? I've never seen anyone find as many gigantic points as he does, he just found a huge axe the other day. He doesn't post that often anymore but his back catalog is absolutely amazing. The big points out there in Missouri are much more common than here in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.

    NEW SUB HERE! I havent hunted in years because i had to care for both my elderly parents. Recently i was admitted into the hospital and ended up on oxygen. Watching your videos has sparked that desire in me once again to hunt my favorite spots along the river. You may not realize how your videos have pushed me towards working to get off oxygen and become active again so i can do what i loved doing. Arrowhead hunting gave me time to pray and enjoy fellowship with God as i would see him all around me in nature. Back then i had so much more peace in my life and always walked away with treasures the river would faithfully gift me with. Your videos have urged me on towards my goal for better health and reminding me that was truly living. Being chained to this machine i was only existing but now thanks to you and God my hope is resurrected that life is a gift in itself and theres treasures just waiting for me to find. Sir i cant express enough how valuable your videos are to me as i will continue to watch till the day i have the strength, stamina and courage to get back out there again. Thank you

    I am Native American on my mom's side. When I was young we went on a trip to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon. While we were walking an area above the Canyon my mom found an arrowhead right on top the ground. It was so amazing to me because that was the first one I had seen in real life, and not in a book. I would love to find one of my own. I live in an area between three Indian Reservations, so I might have a good chance of finding one. Thank you for your tips.

      I have only ever found one arrowhead. I have found the American Chestnut that were dropping nuts and I planted the nuts and they came up as little trees. Very rare since the blight hit over 100 yrs ago. I have found rattlesnakes and copperheads. Old traps. 100 yr or more old bottles. 200 yr old coin. Wild honey bee trees. I got a 100 yr old or more family method for that. Have seen plenty of bear and found 2 bear skulls. Have seen plenty of huge bucks, walked up close to them. Found plenty of shed antlers even a matching pair. Used it for a tire stop/ wheel chuck behind the tire of my little Honda because my emergency brake was gone and while I was in the store somebody stole it. My Grandmother referred to herself as American Indian her whole life. My father was blood brother to Oneida Indian and taught by Cherokee Indian. Dad was one of the best hunter, fisher, trappers this continent has ever seen. No exaggeration. 200 mile trapline, 1000 coon in 3 yrs.

    I have sat in my chair and watched your videos ALL DAY- and not to be negative- but having grown up in the South- we all learned to wear a HAT while out in the sun- not for fashion- but it gets so hot in MS that we have to put on a hat- it really helps keep you cooler- plus you scalp doesn’t blister! Lol. No, I don’t recommend a bonnet- and all the older ladies wore those back in the day--but a hat- will help you stay out in the sun longer and more comfortably. If I were around, I would be constantly telling you to put on your hat! Just a suggestion. Back to watching your adventures!

    Great vid. The first one of yours that I found. The fire pit you found reminds me of some firepits we used to find in west Texas. They were along creeks as well. They were narrow and about 12 to 18 inches deep. They were used to steam snails. There were always hundreds of charred snail shells around them. You'd usually notice the shells before you noticed the pit. They were often in the top part of the Y where two small creekbeds met. Now days the creeks are almost always dry, but obviously they held water more often in the distant past in order to host so many snails.

    New to the channel. Great information. I live in West Virginia near Harpers Ferry where the Potomac and Shenandoah Confluence is. I've always wondered if there would be arrowheads and artifacts found on these two rivers. I'm mainly a Metal Detecting Relic Hunter but you've given me new incentive to try my hand at other artifact and relic hunting.

Thanks for all the great information.

    When you tell a tale about travel portals on the river bank, you're supposed to wink at the camera. My Dad used to tell me about the stone artifacts they'd find in Arkansas when tilling the fields. He said they had a large selection of arrowheads and tomahawk heads collected over the years. This was back in the 1920's. He said they left them behind when they made their way out West to California in the 1930's.

    You’re looking at a firepit that was dug out a few feet down when the natives made it, those stones were used to cook on, they would crack from the heat and would need to be replaced after a few times. They would grind and prepare vegetation right on them before they got hot and they would cover the pit for a few days as it cooks. So the level of charcoal was a few feet below the ground level at the time of use as a fire pit and filled in. That area is covered with good finds.

    Way to make it fun! I have found what is clearly a manufacturing site going back to clovis here in Texas. The archeologist who did this build report I don't think realized the artifacts were uncountable once they dug up the creek. Can't step without hitting blade cores. I want to find a half tang knife now that I have clovis and other prehistoric points.

    Just found your videos and I have really enjoyed watching the “sticks”. Grew up in a rural area. My dad’s family own land that had a creek to the north and a “branch” to the east- and in and along that area was an area that sat higher than water level- about and acre- and all through the years we have found pottery and arrow heads. Also found the burnt areas along the north side as it sloped downward to the branch. I look forward to your adventures and the knowledge you provide. Thanks.

    I believe what you’re experiencing is a bit of the riverbed being agitated, perhaps with a bit of liquefaction (water getting into the soil of the river bed and working lose and working up debris long locked just below the surface of the riverbed), during flooding seasons of high and low riverbank levels. By putting a stick deeper into the soil of the riverbed, even by a few inches, you tapped down to firmer soil during these periods of agitation or “stirring up”, and created a pylon for passing agitated debris to get “caught on” as the stick ALSO makes that one square foot be more stationary during this agitation that debris gets caught into it before settling out deeper into the river.
    Very clever.

      Cool video. I was trying to figure out his theory (which isn't a bad theory), and, basically, it's the same principle as with gold panning/prospecting where just the slightest variation in current causes heavy stuff (not largest) to fall out, and it builds and builds, etc. However, I think you are exactly right. Makes sense. Those sticks would really be insignificant, at best, in causing a current variation (unless something big gets caught up by the stick, like he said). I'm relating what you said (if I'm understanding you correctly) with standing on the edge of a beach and as the waves come in and out the material gets washed away from around your feet, and next thing you know you're ankle-deep in the sand. In this case, do you think the lighter material would wash away (mud and sand), and the larger stuff would remain ( arrowheads, flint, etc)? Or, as the material washes away from around the stick, and heavier stuff carried by the current falls out into that spot? I guess in that case both theories together would be correct.... I'm over-thinking this way too much. I gotta get a life....

      There were quite a few in Nevada. Here's a tip, find an area with high ground, close to the creek (those that are flat and sharply drop into a creek below), and do some research on what materials are common in Nevada and the artifacts found. You can look up those maps online, then cross reference known NA sites, with where that material is. They needed fresh water, shelter, high ground to camp on, and stone to produce tools. If you can find those together, you'll likely find a lot more than you'd think. Also always remember, lots of use looked for years without finding anything, but we learned. It's much easier when you know what land features your looking for. Good luck and don't give up.

I treasure it and keep it in a velvet ring box, to think that it could be as old as 8000 BC is so exciting. There are so many lakes and rivers around here with a deep native heritage- I can barely wait until the 3 feet of snow to melt so I can go out and try this technique for myself.
