Thanks. When you think about it they are all artifacts. Everyone loves to find the perfect "arrowhead" and we are no different but we realize the importance of all their tools.
Heartbreaker Relics Exactly!!! I think maybe it’s just a little more difficult and time consuming for most to search out hammerstones... Makes it even better when they are found and displayed to help hunters know what to look for... All about the sharing of knowledge that even kept the first knappers alive.
Always enjoy your videos! I did the same thing when I got into relic hunting years ago. I had a pile of stuff at the base of an oak tree that I didn't appreciate enough to take home. I moved away for a few years and when I moved back I really got the hunting fever. One of the first things I did was find that tree and look through the pile. I had a broken tomahawk, hammer stones, nutting stones, pottery with really neat designs. Some of it had been laying there for a good 12-13 years. I kicked myself and took a lot of it home
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I'm glad you shared this with us. It makes me feel a little better about us doing it. I wonder how many others have done the same thing. Good luck out there.
Thanks a bunch for your videos. Your videos have helped me learn more on how to look for arrowheads in more ways than one. I generally walk creeks and surface-look but now I'm excited to dig, sift, and probe. You guys are awesome and I'm happy that you guys see the art in the artifacts. God Bless
You are welcome. It really is our pleasure to make these videos and share what we have learned. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Good luck out there.
Believe it or not, using the "petrified beaver" as a thumbnail was done as a lark. It was unintentional "click bait". We have learned a lot since then but have been unable to duplicate the success of this video, so far. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
Heartbreaker Relics clickbait or not I still enjoy these videos. I live looking for fossils....arrowheads and metal detecting. I've been glued to your videos for an hour. 😁😁😁
michy 2015 God bless you. We love it when our videos make folks happy. We have a new one coming out in the morning. I promise you don't want to miss it.
I love all your videos but I have to say this video is my favorite one. Man of man that hast to be as exciting as fat kid on a cup cake to find all that 🎂... Keep the videos coming they make me jump with excitement. Thank you
You have some mighty nice probe sticks. The one l have used here in Mississippi for close to 40 years is pretty simple: a wood hammer handle with a hole drilled in the end and a long piece of small circumference rebar stuck in it secured by glue. The handle is wrapped in leather and l keep a point on it. Over the years it has served me well, not only in flipping points out but swatting snakes and jobbing it into the ground to save myself from a nasty fall. Nowadays with a bad back and knees, l also tote a grab stick to save myself bending over too much. Great video, l enjoyed it and subscribing to your channel.
+Cecil Bennett Thanks for the comment, for watching and for subscribing. We do appreciate it. I cannot walk all day without a stick to lean on. We went on the creek all day today and it saved me from falling many times. Of course there were two times even the stick was not enough. lol But that's ok. We had a great day. The next video is going to be fantastic. Thanks again.
Gorgeous bole and great job seeing the potential! You have a beaver in the one shot and a dark colered Moby Dick in the next! I'd have to display some custom knives on it. Great piece!
Just came across your videos while I was scrolling through RUclips channels..great finds buddy..if only I was able to do such searches but living in northern Alberta Canada there's no such activity in my area..but I'll subscribe and keep watching your videos as you post them
Thanks for the comment, thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing. Sorry it took me so long to reply. We were in north Alabama hunting in and around some caves and rock shelters and we had absolutely no service. We even did a little digging but weren't able to find anything. Still, we got some great pictures and video of the places. We know there were artifacts found there in the past but it just wasn't to be for us. Thanks again.
I have a friend who says he's from Arkansas and tells hilarious tales about his rock collection being Indian artifacts, primitive money tokens, along with some obvious arrow heads and just plain interesting rock. Its a fetish with him, so now I will have to go out to my river here in NJ and get me some Hammer Rocks to show him......the tribes here must have been a little slow as there thousands of them lying all over the place.....subbed
Thanks for the great comment and sub. Large stones of any type were at a premium in our area, especially hardstone. When one is found on a known native American site you can count on finding peck marks on it. They are actually great artifacts. Not nearly as many of them as there are arrowheads. Thanks again.
Dude this is really wierd commenting on old videos like time travel or somthing any ways on the wood here in colo we have a lot of juniper and cedar lots of cool twisty roots and burls I very had good success using house hold bleach applied carefully with a brush you can actually bleach the wood to an ash white in whatever areas you want creating a very cool color contrast before your final finish cedar has a peculiar way of growing a limb with a figure eight profile that slowly twists in a spiral as you go along its length and I've used this technique with great success by bleaching only half the limb it looks like. Two different woods intertwining real cool !
Thanks so much. We really appreciate the kind words and support. We have worked hard and come a long way since the starting our channel back in June of 2015. Please let us know what you think of the other videos and don't forget to tell you friends about us. Thanks again.
I just moved to the Northshore outside of Robert from Missouri a couple weeks ago and I am an avid artifact hunter. I have some mound builder artifacts u would probably be interested to see.
Twisties and curlies....LOL! I've never seen or heard of one of those before...pretty neat! But what is really amazing to me is that you hid those hammerstones 15-20 years ago?!! Is that right? Crazy! Glad you were able to at least get a couple of them dug back out! Excellent video!!!!
+Kendra O Yeah, twisties and curlies is really technical. lol It actually forms what's called a birds eye pattern sometimes. They are use for tobacco pipe bowls and some folks make wooden bowls with a "living" edge rim. I had never heard of them until a few years ago. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
+Kendra O Thanks. As for hammerstones, yes about 15-20 years ago we would pick them up and toss them at the base of a huge white oak tree in the edge of the field. We kept a few and we figured if we ever wanted the others we would know where there were. We never considered that mother earth would reclaim them. We had tried once before to find them but were partially successful this time. There are more there and we'll try again.
Do farmers generally give you permission to detect and to look for arrow heads. I am disabled with severe spinal stenosis and my husband bought me a metal detector for our anniversary and I saved up and got all the accessories I needed. I am 62 yrs old. I am kind of timid about approaching strangers. I live in an area that people are always finding arrow heads. When we moved here about 28 years ago my oldest son's classmate had over a cigar box full of arrowheads, grinding tools and other relics. Is there a book I can get that will show me what Indian Artifacts look like?????
Thanks for watching and for the great comment. In our experience most property owners will allow you permission but there will be the occasional ones that may not. All they can say is no so it never hurts to ask. The book I would recommend is the official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide but to be honest any book on arrowheads will give you a start as what to look for. You'll find that you are not looking as much for the shape of the arrowhead as you are the working or flaking on the material. With time it will become second nature and believe me it won't take long. Good luck out there and best wishes. Keep us posted on your progress.
name please. So, your saying dont touch arrowheads... call the cop's.... do you know how pissed they'd be for calling them to tell you found an arrowhead?? Oh, 2 or 3 of my buddy's that hunt for relics ARE cop's. ...Damn
Heartbreaker Relics. I've found them.. didnt know what it was an left them in the woods or left them laying on the creek bank.... I feel plumb stupid sometimes.... I guess we learn somethimg Every Day...... now, dangit where was I when I threw that down... pawpaw said its like a cancer on the Tree trunk....Oh, then he said you should've kept that, might be worth something....
lol Oh man I'm sorry. Don't tell me you fell for that too. We published thus video way before we knew anything about click bait. I just thought it was catchy and it looked like a part of a beaver to me. Glad you watched it though. ; )
LMAO This has got to be the funniest comment we have ever gotten. I spit Fruit Loops all over my kitchen and Randy said he peed on himself when he read it!
Heartbreaker Relics Sorry about that, lmao...to be honest, I didn't watch the video right away. I love this kind of stuff! I went for the cheap shot... but I'm sure glad I found yalls' channel! Subscribed
Im a collector and love artifacts and fossils. lately Ive been picking thru owl pellets which have been dried and are sold for education and for people with an interest in what owls eat. which is mostly rodents. but it is neat to pick them apart and find the bones and skulls of these little creatures. since I have no vehicle to go fossil hunting or artifact collecting. its better than nothing.
+Bobby Thompson That's a cool idea. I love stuff like that. Driftwood, lighter'd knots and petrified wood are almost as cool as arrowheads, but not quite lol.
Michael Lipousky Thank you. We wish we had better artifacts than we do but it's all location, location, location. What we find is about the best we're going to get for this area.
Heartbreaker Relics. yeap, it's really big round Quartz around here.. many, many arrowheads made from it. ive seen people out racking leaves and the racking pulled half dozen.white or clear arrowheads up into a pile, along with lotsa flaking or "sign" as I call it..anywhere we find flakes, there's always a few arrowheads. anyway, the older gentleman I spoke of is outa Stewart, VA. an has an enormous collection of Every relic imaginable. I road up to his home to veiw it once..Quite an Honor, he was down here in Rockingham Co. NC. staying with a daughter that I mowed for. After an eye surgery he couldn't see for awhile. He came out while I was working an saw Flint on my dashboard. We played hooky the rest of that Day. Riding the road showing my points an he showing his. He had quartz rock's rubbed down to the similar size of the human foot an told me, theyd wrap leather around the rock.. sew it tight, then peel it off after curing. If it was wrong of him to guess that ..it was wrong of his great grandfather too because thats where half his collection came from...
On the Burrel ( I probably spelled that wrong but I found two more animals in it ). Picture # 2 - a Petrified Chicken the head is at the right of the picture. If you were looking at the chicken from the side. And my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PICTURE NO.3 - a Petrified Alligator. I had asked a question earlier about finding information on arrow heads and Indian Relics. I doubt I will ever find a Burrel due to my disability and I have to use a cane. But if you ever need a good home for this one. Well you can send it my way - it will have a place on my bedside dresser!!!! I know LOL !!!! Just sayin!
Again thanks for the comment. I found this burl (your spelling was close enough) from the seat of a golf cart so you never know where one will turn up. In all of our creek hunting and driftwood finds I have never found another. I think Randy has one he found years ago. I have seen the chicken or duck as I called it but I will have to go back and look for the alligator. I'm glad to know that others appreciate the burl as much as I do. Again, good luck out there.
I enjoyed that very much. I'll subscribe. I made a video a week or so ago of a celt I found in east Texas. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Whats with the petrified beaver not being in there. I thought this was accually going to happen but not. Thanks for the lies. So was the hammerstone. But the arrowheads were alright
That was extremely satisfying I grew up hunting arrowheads as a kid and finding lots of them.
Thanks. We're glad you like it.
Good to see you appreciate the stones that made the stones you appreciate as more than just a stone!
Thanks. When you think about it they are all artifacts. Everyone loves to find the perfect "arrowhead" and we are no different but we realize the importance of all their tools.

Who would have thought a petrified beaver could look SO BEAUTIFUL? 🍺😎🍺
lol Thanks.
You had me at petrified beaver

2:36 you can see two others by Randy's feet. Hope you picked 'em.

Welcome to our neck of the woods and yes we love to look at all artifacts. They fascinate us!
beautiful
+Frankie Cowsert Thanks so much for the compliment. Also thanks for watching and subscribing.
what did you put on it? its very nice!
Thanks and thanks for asking. I used Minwax fast-drying polyurethane clear gloss. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Great burl what did u use to clean it up because it sure did turn out nice
+Bobby Thompson Thanks. I used a fine wire brush on a Dremel tool and 120 grit sandpaper.
Twisties and curlies....LOL! I've never seen or heard of one of those before...pretty neat! But what is really amazing to me is that you hid those hammerstones 15-20 years ago?!! Is that right? Crazy! Glad you were able to at least get a couple of them dug back out! Excellent video!!!!

+Heartbreaker Relics That's quite a story, lol! You will definitely have to show us if you get any more rescued! Any idea of how many might be there?
that didn't look like any petrified beaver I ever seen and i've seen a few,😳😜😂😝
The comments we have gotten on this video are some of the best I've ever seen. lol Thanks for making my night!
Heartbreaker Relics mission accomplished!!! 😃👍🏼
Your video is very interesting👍👍, and I want to be friends with you, I'm from "Borneo Metal Detector" Indonesia 🇲🇨, Greetings ... 🙏👌👋

I used Minwax clear gloss polyurethane.
Burl is worth some money if its rite.. I'd love to have some stocks for rifles/shotguns...maybe even pistol grips of Burl..
We always save them when we find but then again we don't find many.
Heartbreaker Relics. I've found them.. didnt know what it was an left them in the woods or left them laying on the creek bank.... I feel plumb stupid sometimes....

+Eric Woody Seriously , I can see where that would be interesting too.
yep
To a woodturner that's worth more than the arrow heads.
I know. We have found several nice burls while hunting for arrowheads.
Agree
I've petrified many a beaver.
lololol
You should see my hammerstones...95969
My hone parish
I was teally hoping for a petrified beaver😔
Thanks for letting me no I live in Ohio and I found a few not as nice as the one u got but I mount my deer heads to them if there nice enough
+Bobby Thompson That's a cool idea. I love stuff like that. Driftwood, lighter'd knots and petrified wood are almost as cool as arrowheads, but not quite lol.
I wish you guys better finds. I have left mountains of that junk behind me over the past 35 years of searching.
Michael Lipousky Thank you. We wish we had better artifacts than we do but it's all location, location, location. What we find is about the best we're going to get for this area.
