Hey Folks! A few links for my other sites: My website: www.GMMD.us Facebook: Facebook.com/GreenMountainMetalDetecting Instagram: @Green.Mountain.Metal.Detecting
Totally a adrenaline rush when you do find a whole arrow head, I found one made by the Freemont Indians in a dried up river bed walking along side of it. Good luck with your treasure hunting!
Brad, you may find this article very interesting. I'm somewhat of a history buff, and have a liking for channels like your's. If I see something on anything that peaks my curiosity, then I will see what else I can learn about whatever that maybe on the subject. This is just a portion of what I discovered about the rings you, and the various ways they were dispersed during the time period you spoke of. Hope this is of interest to you, and you may have already read through it yourself. Enjoy if you haven't, and no harm if you have.

A descendent in my family goes back in Pennsylvania history as English traders along the Monongahela river valley and along the Allegheny river going north to Kittanning. We used to go three to four times a year, I doubt people could find as much as we did. What a day!
i used to work for an archeologist here in new mexico......i learned to spot flake scatter, the bits which were chipped off when the point was made. i look for a comfortable hilltop, or a place where i would like to sit and read or whatnot, and like as not i find flake scatter. easy to do in the desert, or any open place. once you learn to spot even pieces of points it gets easy to spot whole ones. after he taught me how to spot a point i pulled one out from his shoe......it was a rare point, around 8,000 yrs old, and it is recorded in the state register. it takes a bit of education to date a point, but it's worth pursuing when you find one. love your wonderfully educationalb videos!!
That must have been an incredibly fun way of learning! I haven't spent much time hunting artifacts but a few years ago I found two perfect points about 5 to 7 inches long under a huge maple tree behind my house. The land has been farmed for years and the headwaters of a creek start on the property. Several springs are nearby the old maple and I've always imagined that natives would have sought out such a place to live. Later i was talking to a neighbor and he showed me his discoveries and I was blown away. Stone carved snakes, all sorts of stone tools etc. So what you are saying is absolutely right. They sought out places to live just like we do now. All along the holston river is very rich with native history here in Virginia and into Tennessee
@@villasofkamalii7509 lol yeah. Id love to visit your part of the country such a different landscape. Spent time in white sands a few years ago but didn't get to explore much, was there training for deployment .
@@thomastrain7311 sounds wonderful! it's nice to hear one's theories validated.....in theory. (smile) i really don't know much about american archeology, (my heart is in Egypt) however i think that if one found a point that long around here Certain People might become Very Excited. you have excellent universities where you are, however if you ever get out this way between May and October check out the Museum of Archeology and Material Culture at Turquoise Trail Campground. it is most excellent, created by the archeologist i once knew. i don't know why the term "Clovis Piont" is rattling around in my fractured brain but i thought i would throw it out there. peace be with you........
WONDERFUL video! That was truly amazing. I am an amateur flint/obsidian knapper, and it was great to see those discards (called 'debitage,' btw)-- they looked for the most part like the outer layer of a core, pieces struck off with a bit of cortex on them to get to the good stuff underneath. Core pieces have a particular shape, and every now and then out here in the Southwest I've found them lying where they were struck off a millenia or three ago. Those kettle-brass points were amazing; I've seen them in a museum, but to actually watch them come out of the ground was a joy! And the ring was amazing too. But my favorite find of the whole video had to be your 'tinkler,' because when members of our local tribes (Tohono O'odham, Apache, San Carlos, etc.) dance at their festivals, they still have those decorating their beautiful garments, and I know exactly what that little thing you held in your hand would sound like.
I've spent years hunting native American art affects. love finding them and taking time to think about where and why the art affects are where they are. One I found on top of a flat rock above a small stream. Just thinking that that spear point had been exposed in that spot for a 1,000 of more years, still blows my mind.
Very interesting, as an American Indian I've been told many stories from my Grandparents about the old life. That was a plowed field and more than likely where they once danced, those were not arrow points, the holes were to string them together because they as jewelry and noise makers were part of the dance and celebrations. Nice finds Brad, many places like that out here in the west if you know what your looking at. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
Thank you for clearing that up, I didn't think they were arrow points either, because they are missing the piece where they would be attached to the shaft to hold them in place with sinew. I didn't say anything, as I don't have the historic info like you do. They do indeed look like "bangles" to be worn as jewelry, as you pointed out.
Thanks so much for sharing your ancestral knowledge and stories, Kenny! Perhaps the people living in the west purposed them differently, but I've come across many academic papers online that describe the brass, triangle objects found in this video as arrowheads. One with nice photos showing the difference in hole placements between arrowheads and bangles/tinklers can be seen here (pages 37 & 46): www.rla.unc.edu/publications/pdf/resrep37/Chap2.pdf There is also a very nice excavated example of a kettle point still affixed to the wooden arrow shaft on the Smithsonian page here, after clicking the orange "right" tab twice. The purpose of the centered hole is made more clear: americanindian.si.edu/nk360/manhattan/journey-of-trade/journey-of-trade.cshtml#kettle
@@michellerichardson3907 You think the natives were dancing and sniffing wild flowers the whole time? Humans are selfish no matter their race or tribe.
One of your best digs ever Brad. So excited for you. I wish this nation would cherish those that came before us as well as the history our ancestors brought here. Tear it down and build new over and over.
What a fantastic, generous opportunity the Gentleman gave you! WOW, what an amazing finds and you are never too old to learn new stuff and and inspire you to sometimes take a “different” route...🤷🏻♀️🤩 May God Bless you even more on your next adventure...🙏🏼🍀Best wishes send from a fan that followed your channel when you first started out!👋🏼🇨🇦😄
My wife is Lakota and Northern Ponca. I am Mi'kmaq (L'nu) Maliseet Huron and Patawomeck. I enjoyed the video as I have all your videos. I am curious why your buddy didn't want to be on film. I don't like being filmed either but my 16yr old son and I metal detect and he has a channel were he posts our adventures as well as our work in the smithy and the other things we do on our farm. We never tell where we detect because very few people have ever done it where we live. Don't want people coming here and trying to move in on our honey holes. We find lots of good stuff and eventually my son wants to build a small building to display all our finds. He has a couple shelves full of stuff some very rare. Two of our best finds are a county sheriff badge which might have actually belonged to a relative on my wife's side. He was a member of the 7th cavalry under custers comand who was sick when they rode out so didn't die in the fight which is why my wife is alive today. One of her Lakota ancestors was in the battle and had they met on the field she would not have ever been born. The second is a sterling silver E pin which was given to employees of companies who produced things during WW2. Only 5 percent of the companies recieved these pins and they are pretty rare. The one I found still have the pin and works. The only thing missing is the paint or enamel that colored the front. We have found lots of military items because our farm was actually part of a garrison. I gave grape shot, rifle butt plates, and trigger guards as well as hammers and other pieces of firearms. We have found all kinds of coins from pennies up to silver dollars. Plenty of hand forged items as well. I don't think there was ever a smithy on the property before but there is now. I put over 35k into converting an outbuilding into one because my son wanted to learn the trade. I have been a hobby blacksmith/bladesmith since I was a kid. I am 58 now and have been teaching him and his best friend for 3 years now. I even bought an extra metal detector for his friend so he can go along on trips with us. We don't find stuff as old as the stuff you find because the area wasn't settled until the mid to late 1800's but my ladt find was a V nickle right in our from yard in a spot I have gone over at least 30 times or more. Crazy how places we have done that many times are still producing when we dig every single sound.
You must be at an Iroquois site. The chert you found is from spalling a large piece to get a workable piece.That's a madison point. The bow and arrow came into service 1000 years ago. Before the bow and arrow was atlatl a dart thrower that used projectile points. The native made pipes were of soft stone like steatite, catlinite
Some amazing finds Brad, so different to your usual finds.👍👌😁 It puzzles me a bit that folks are saying the triangular pieces were identified wrongly but, when you offered documentary evidence, you got no further response. I have no reason to doubt your research but those who challenged you seemed to be pretty sure. The lack of response, as well as the links you provided, makes it look like your description was spot-on. Your enthusiasm is contageous; had me quite excited by the end.😁 Cheers for now, Dougie.
Wow Brad, thanks for sharing this. I wouldn't have been able to stop saying thank you either. Glad you got to do this and again, thanks for sharing it with us.
Regardless of the identification of these items, they are amazing. To be able to find items from that time is so special. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank the land owner for us as well. What a treasure and experience, crazy as you say.
I remember the first time I found a perfect spear point and an ax head. You took me back to those days. Incredible finds Brad. You will never forget this day.
Absolutely incredible finds! I'm also one of those people who've dreamed about finding/holding old items. I love living vicariously through you. Thank you Brad.
Hi Brad, omg wow wow wow, congratulations !! those were some absolutely amazing finds and so historical, awesome. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Great video, love the native artifacts. I think the damaged musket ball with the sprue may be the result of the mold not being the right temperature when the lead was poured, usually they get thrown back in the pot.
Great video my friend. I grew up in NM and have had the chance to find several arrow heads and pottery shards including a child’s toy in the shape of an animal. Love your videos.
So freaking exciting! Still searching for my first arrow head. I have found chips and pieces like you did..... some day. What a great adventure. I hope you get to go there again someday. Kind of like the lack of knowing exactly where you were or with who? But it adds cool mystery. Thanks for the back in time adventure.
I've been passing over your posts until now...Looking forward to seeing the rest of what my ignorance has rejected in the past... You are the real thing... Thanks...
Treasures are popping up everywhere!! 'I'm surprised you haven't found more Native American objects, but that ring WOW that is special!! Great work Brad!!!
Aww Brad, this video made me feel like a proud mama watching her boy experience his best Christmas and Birthday all wrapped into one big day! So proud for you and of course, your joy was infectious. Best wishes to you and yours! Also, a belated happy Father's Day!
My Daddy had a way of "reading the land" and could walk right up to where Native American's made their points. Of course, this was in Virginia(Virginia Beach, usually on farm land). Maybe there is a book that can tell you where to find them in your area. I think that is how he learned about it. The cast off flint is a good place to look for whole points. Good for you on your find! If you have any flint nappers in your area, they may be able to tell you where to look for points in the lay of the land. We eventually moved to Texas(Central area) and he was able to find points here as well. I learned something today, kettle points, didn't know that was a thing.
My brother is am avid collector of Indian artifacts? He started at a very young age. My grandfathers mother was Native American, she left the reservation she lived on to Marry my great grandfather whom was a Tumlin , His family from what I'm told was of Scottish descent. I was told by my dentist once, do you know you have native American ancestry? I told him. " yes I had been told that thru my mothers side of family. He replied, well it's true because you have shoveled teeth. A trait carried only by certain natives. One reason I needed braces. But only the incisor teeth have that shape, an it's on the backside. Great finds, hope you continue doing some of these videos on native Americans. Love your channel, always capture my interests.
Awesome find Brad! The Jesuit ring is awesome. If it could only talk, It was so much going on at that time. After all these years it is still in one piece. You're still the rock star Brad, Love your videos
Wow …..just wow! I have no words, just in awe watching the great finds! You are truly blessed to have such good friends who share the same love of history. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us!!!
wow Brad! That's some awesome stuff, and so cool of your friend to share the place with you. generous .. i'm blown away.. so exciting. thank you for sharing.
😲 omg that stuffs amazing. I was in my front yard by my mailbox when I was about 12 years old I happened to look down and right there on the ground was a 2 to 3 inch arrowhead. Looked like red jasper, but with all that time passed it was agatised, and the biggest thing I found to be on the property. Today though I have know idea where it is. Moved to many times and lost it. I live in Tacoma Washington. My Mom, remembers the neighbors talking about when they bought there land the road was full of wagon ruts still visible to the eye. My grandfather bought the land across the street from them. I loved growing up there. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing ❤.
Brad, thank you for sharing those bits of History. A Jesuit Ring, amazing and historical. I grew up on a 2 acre farm in NJ, near the shore . Our property bordered the North Branch of the Metedeconk river( a brook). Our neighbors house was pre revolutionary and ever time he plowed, we'd find arrow heads from the Leni-Lenape Delaware Tribes. A friend of mine had a massive collection of artifacts including pottery, which he had found during His travels. Near Matawan NJ he took me to a Deer meadow in a piece of wood surrounded by modern homes and roads. There was trade pottery all over the place! In grade school in Jackson, NJ we had a student bring in a stone axe =head found after a big storm flooded the Brook. I bit long winded, but my point is ,as you know , Rivers , brooks large old Lakes etc. are Magnets for the tribes that were here for countless generations so living where you do , makes Native finds much more exciting because they are so much rarer. Well done, Cheers, Rik
I am from Vermont and love treasure hunting. I love these videos. I have a small collection of vermont stone arrowheads that my father left me when he died. They are amazing just to look at.
I'm so happy for you Brad. Now you can start looking for Indian artifacts wherever you go. I picked up a few tools / rocks that I had no idea what they were I just thought they were really odd. One is a nutting stone used for shelling nuts. A game ball, white , smooth all most 4 inches in diameter. Completely round and symmetrical And a hatchet head made out of stone. I was just drawn to them. I live in Maryland near the Susquehanna River which many tribes live nearby maybe eight different ones. Found them when I wasn't looking. You tripped on to something new to look for. Congratulations Brad!!!
What an amazing dig day. Congrats on some sweet relics on the day Brad. I would love to find a kettle point. That ring is a beauty. Happy hunting and be well
Amazing video & an awesome start to my birthday. Congrats on all your amazing finds & your buddy is awesome for inviting you out to go metal detecting with him
Congrats on all your finds. Thanks for sharing that experience. Really awesome. You could probably donate that 1000-year old find to a local museum, or sell it to a museum, for more to appreciate. Or, you can tell everyone to get a metal detector and go find their own. LOL
Very cool. As a kid I use to follow the family tractor when my father would plow the fields in Northeast Louisiana. We used to find some very nice stone points of various shapes and sizes. I also found a couple of small stone figures that had drilled holes in them for wearing around the neck. We lived about 25 miles from Poverty Point which is a 3,500 year old native American trading village and center. It has serpent shaped hills and mounds and is a World Heritage Site. Now I live in El Mirage, Arizona and we find pottery and small points, we also have petroglyphs on the boulders nearby by our home.
Very impressive to say the least. Your friend seems to be very knowledgeable and very generous in inviting you to experience such a gold mine of history. Enjoyed your video of this trip back in time. Congratulations to you and your friend.
Grew up in Klamath and Requa CA. so finding native artifacts is very common place. Also have several paintings done by Yurok natives many yrs ago. My brother and I learned much from them and loved my time on the mouth of Klamath River. Also have a whole collection of native baskets and a Papoose basket. 🙂👍
Excellent trip you had there really liked that little ring.I think that was your best find with involving the giver and the receiver of the item .fascinating
Amazing! I can relate to that feeling and excitement. Finding something that old and significant and trying to imagine who used it, what they were doing when they lost it, it’s what makes this hobby the best.

Being native american I am happy you and your friend shared the history of our people. Amazing finds.
My wife is Lakota and Northern Ponca. I am Mi'kmaq (L'nu) Maliseet Huron and Patawomeck. I enjoyed the video as I have all your videos. I am curious why your buddy didn't want to be on film. I don't like being filmed either but my 16yr old son and I metal detect and he has a channel were he posts our adventures as well as our work in the smithy and the other things we do on our farm. We never tell where we detect because very few people have ever done it where we live. Don't want people coming here and trying to move in on our honey holes. We find lots of good stuff and eventually my son wants to build a small building to display all our finds. He has a couple shelves full of stuff some very rare. Two of our best finds are a county sheriff badge which might have actually belonged to a relative on my wife's side.

I put over 35k into converting an outbuilding into one because my son wanted to learn the trade. I have been a hobby blacksmith/bladesmith since I was a kid. I am 58 now and have been teaching him and his best friend for 3 years now. I even bought an extra metal detector for his friend so he can go along on trips with us.

So freaking exciting! Still searching for my first arrow head. I have found chips and pieces like you did..... some day. What a great adventure. I hope you get to go there again someday. Kind of like the lack of knowing exactly where you were or
with who? But it adds cool mystery. Thanks for the back in time adventure.
Who needs the Discovery Channel, when there is Green Mountain:)
You’re very lucky to have a friend that invited you to a place with that many artifacts!
I've been passing over your posts until now...Looking forward to seeing the rest of what my ignorance has rejected in the past...
You are the real thing...
Thanks...
Very interesting Brad! The ring is incredible! Happy Digging!!👍😘
Treasures are popping up everywhere!! 'I'm surprised you haven't found more Native American objects, but that ring WOW that is special!! Great work Brad!!!
Some really nice finds Brad! Such a good video!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Yay Brad!! The rings a charmer!
Aww Brad, this video made me feel like a proud mama watching her boy experience his best Christmas and Birthday all wrapped into one big day! So proud for you and of course, your joy was infectious. Best wishes to you and yours! Also, a belated happy Father's Day!
My Daddy had a way of "reading the land" and could walk right up to where Native American's made their points. Of course, this was in Virginia(Virginia Beach, usually on farm land). Maybe there is a book that can tell you where to find them in your area. I think that is how he learned about it. The cast off flint is a good place to look for whole points. Good for you on your find! If you have any flint nappers in your area, they may be able to tell you where to look for points in the lay of the land. We eventually moved to Texas(Central area) and he was able to find points here as well. I learned something today, kettle points, didn't know that was a thing.
I will own my own metal detector one day!!! I have everything I need but a pin pointer and the metal detector, but when I do, It is ON!!
Good luck, Melissa!
You'll be hooked for sure!
Great video Brad ! Congrats on all your awesome finds ! "Wow"!
My brother is am avid collector of Indian artifacts? He started at a very young age. My grandfathers mother was Native American, she left the reservation she lived on to Marry my great grandfather whom was a Tumlin , His family from what I'm told was of Scottish descent. I was told by my dentist once, do you know you have native American ancestry? I told him. " yes I had been told that thru my mothers side of family. He replied, well it's true because you have shoveled teeth. A trait carried only by certain natives. One reason I needed braces. But only the incisor teeth have that shape, an it's on the backside. Great finds, hope you continue doing some of these videos on native Americans. Love your channel, always capture my interests.
Awesome find Brad! The Jesuit ring is awesome. If it could only talk, It was so much going on at that time. After all these years it is still in one piece. You're still the rock star Brad, Love your videos
Wow …..just wow! I have no words, just in awe watching the great finds! You are truly blessed to have such good friends who share the same love of history. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us!!!
wow Brad! That's some awesome stuff, and so cool of your friend to share the place with you. generous .. i'm blown away.. so exciting. thank you for sharing.
Outstanding Brad ! What a terrific site that is. Always a pleasure to watch pal thanks for taking us along
WOW Brad!!! How cool and fun for you!! To think those things were just waiting there so near the surface after all these years.
When I was a young boy and no houses around us , after a heavy rain I found flint and arrow heads laying on top of ground here in Georgia.
😲 omg that stuffs amazing. I was in my front yard by my mailbox when I was about 12 years old I happened to look down and right there on the ground was a 2 to 3 inch arrowhead. Looked like red jasper, but with all that time passed it was agatised, and the biggest thing I found to be on the property. Today though I have know idea where it is. Moved to many times and lost it. I live in Tacoma Washington. My Mom, remembers the neighbors talking about when they bought there land the road was full of wagon ruts still visible to the eye. My grandfather bought the land across the street from them. I loved growing up there. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing ❤.
Wow! Great hunt. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible! Thanks Brad!
Beautiful finds of a life time Brad.
Jesuit ring is absolutely top of my bucket list items to find here in Michigan. AWESOME! Congrats!
Brad,
thank you for sharing those bits of History. A Jesuit Ring, amazing and historical.
I grew up on a 2 acre farm in NJ, near the shore .
Our property bordered the North Branch of the Metedeconk river( a brook).
Our neighbors house was pre revolutionary and ever time he plowed, we'd find arrow heads from the Leni-Lenape Delaware Tribes.
A friend of mine had a massive collection of artifacts including pottery, which he had found during His travels.
Near Matawan NJ he took me to a Deer meadow in a piece of wood surrounded by modern homes and roads.
There was trade pottery all over the place!
In grade school in Jackson, NJ we had a student bring in a stone axe =head found after a big storm flooded the Brook.
I bit long winded, but my point is ,as you know , Rivers , brooks large old Lakes etc. are Magnets for the tribes that were here for countless generations
so living where you do , makes Native finds much more exciting because they are so much rarer.
Well done,
Cheers,
Rik
Hi Brad! Thanks for you metal detecting adventures!..
Your finds are too cool! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Amazing finds ! Your coming up ! Good job and congratulations on your unique finds ! XXX🙊🙉🙈✌️
I am from Vermont and love treasure hunting. I love these videos.
I have a small collection of vermont stone arrowheads that my father left me when he died. They are amazing just to look at.
I'm so happy for you Brad. Now you can start looking for Indian artifacts wherever you go.
I picked up a few tools / rocks that I had no idea what they were I just thought they were really odd.
One is a nutting stone used for shelling nuts. A game ball, white , smooth all most 4 inches in diameter. Completely round and symmetrical And a hatchet head made out of stone. I was just drawn to them.
I live in Maryland near the Susquehanna River which many tribes live nearby maybe eight different ones.
Found them when I wasn't looking. You tripped on to something new to look for. Congratulations Brad!!!
Amazing fund's, but that ring though, mind blowing and the historical story behind it! Wow omg that must have bn a day to remember!!!
Amazing hunt Brad. Thanks to your friend and you for sharing this with us
Wow! What an amazing historic place! Everything just made my jaw drop. 😱 Thank you for sharing !!!
Always love your enthusiasm but had a much different excitement to it. Great editing work. Also giving us the history. Congratulations
Congratulations Brad...awesome discoveries.
What an amazing dig day. Congrats on some sweet relics on the day Brad. I would love to find a kettle point. That ring is a beauty. Happy hunting and be well
Amazing video & an awesome start to my birthday. Congrats on all your amazing finds & your buddy is awesome for inviting you out to go metal detecting with him
Congrats on all your finds. Thanks for sharing that experience. Really awesome. You could probably donate that 1000-year old find to a local museum, or sell it to a museum, for more to appreciate. Or, you can tell everyone to get a metal detector and go find their own. LOL
Another great video.....and hats off to you for maintaining the privacy factor of your sites.
Wow nice hunt with a truly awesome Guy to invite you. I'd say you owe him a good hunt where you go.
That ring find is insanely exciting!
Very cool. As a kid I use to follow the family tractor when my father would plow the fields in Northeast Louisiana. We used to find some very nice stone points of various shapes and sizes. I also found a couple of small stone figures that had drilled holes in them for wearing around the neck. We lived about 25 miles from Poverty Point which is a 3,500 year old native American trading village and center. It has serpent shaped hills and mounds and is a World Heritage Site.
Now I live in El Mirage, Arizona and we find pottery and small points, we also have petroglyphs on the boulders nearby by our home.
Amazing! We have a few known Native American villages around here too! Last year I flipped a perfect arrow head from a plug. Another great episode!
What a great historical experience and video! Congratulations Brad!
Very impressive to say the least. Your friend seems to be very knowledgeable and very generous in inviting you to experience such a gold mine of history. Enjoyed your video of this trip back in time. Congratulations to you and your friend.
Grew up in Klamath and Requa CA. so finding native artifacts is very common place. Also have several paintings done by Yurok natives many yrs ago. My brother and I learned much from them and loved my time on the mouth of Klamath River. Also have a whole collection of native baskets and a Papoose basket. 🙂👍
Thanks for such a great Video
What an awesome day!! So jealous!
That was amazing
oh man you had a once in a lifetime day , im glad you got to find such amazing artifacts, thanks to your friend and to you for sharing
Thanks. New history learnings!
Outstanding as always. 👍
Awesome Brad, great video.
Excellent trip you had there really liked that little ring.I think that was your best find with involving the giver and the receiver of the item .fascinating
Amazing! I can relate to that feeling and excitement. Finding something that old and significant and trying to imagine who used it, what they were doing when they lost it, it’s what makes this hobby the best.
