Those are hammer stones, I had a huge collection of points, knives, axes and hammer stones. Most of the points are made from chert. I found most points along a creek on my farm. Around here the Native American used novilite stone. I am Native American, My people were forced out of Georgia in 1837 and 1838. Settled in Fort Gibson OK. I live in west central Arkansas now.
Bigfoot is not happy with what is happening on that property!!!! But he gives his blessing to Robert to find, cherish, record and salvage ancient relics!!!
That round rock on 12:00 if you look closer have "seam" on it, that's a fosile, if you crack it open among that seam, I'm almost certain ammonite is inside.
I miss those days of not being able to hunt arrowheads I grew up hunting arrowheads my brother chewed on scrapers to cut his teeth 🦷 I’m crippled in my ankle so I’m not able to do it anymore. Last time I went arrowhead hunting I found a metal arrowhead so I guess that’s the way to finish my days of arrowhead hunting. It’s so much fun. But at 61 I’m still a rock head. I enjoy pretty rocks. Take care God Bless. 🙏🙏🌻🌻⭐️🥰⭐️🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️💟💟
Not sure about eastern Native Americans but the size of the flint or chert type rocks would be spear points here in the Missouri River area. Most arrowheads are very small usually less than an inch to a inch and half. 2 or 3 inch flints would not fit on the shaft of the arrow. The larger "arrowheads"" would have been spear, dart, or knife tips.
Years and years ago, back in the late 1960's maybe very early 1970'sZ if have to look it up when we lived in this small community of Washington State, I was just a young kid. I was digging in the sand near a neighbors house and found an arrowhead. It poked me in the behind. My folks put it away. My mom made a display for it and I have it hanging on the wall. A real prized possession I have.
The river stone you found at 12:00 was likely a hammerstone for knapping the Chert and other stones for making arrowheads and tools. They would have used a hand sized stone like that to chip off smaller pieces of a larger rock, then work them down with smaller tools.
I'm in Wyoming, and we've had snow, and I just got my furnace repaired 10 days ago. Folks in Wyoming look for arrowheads, also there are places you can find fossils.
Luxurious full beard!!!!!! Did Danial meet Steve Whitman at Osh Kosh. There is some history there. Got shot down by moon shiners in his early flying days.
Fun one with Daniel and Eagle Eye Wright!! -- Interesting finds amd story! Do I recall an episode with Daniel and a Native American mound feature? Enjoyed it!!
Grew up doing this in Tennessee. My dad who was part Cherokee would tell me how much of the land was under water, thus limestone and underwater creatures found in stone. Not sure if the oyster falls into that category though. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood.
It's one of the flaking techniques. Most people don't realize how much our (I'm Native American, with ancestors from Georgia and other areas) ancestors understood and knew about the materials they worked with... in some cases the knowledge is equivalent to a materials engineer in a way. It isn't hard to remove small, thin flakes from the edge of a point, which creates the 'jagged" edge when it's obviously deliberate. Even just making a point often requires 'thinning' along with shaping, and can inadvertently leave a jagged edge. I've found tools while doing excavations where it was obvious that the maker was striving for a relatively smooth edge, and other tools where they'd made a very special tool (quite small) with a saw-like edge. We also often heat-treated chert, which made it much easier to work (shape) and produced a much smoother and shiny finish (plus it generally changes the color of the chert). I've seen a lance/spear point where the chert itself was gray in color, but the maker had heat treated it in such a way that the very edge was red (typical color change of Florida cherts). It was obviously a high-status item and probably NOT used (as I remember - we can tell) for hunting or anything like that.
So as a professional archaeologist (since 1986), I should let you know that arrow and pottery collecting destroys history. You are removing the diagnostic (datable) artifacts from sites, thereby preventing future people from understanding the pre-contact history of the place. It is better to visit places like this, look for artifacts, take photos, and document the sites in this manner, leaving the artifacts behind. If you go on Ebay you will see thousands of arrows and pottery pieces taken from archaeological sites and put up for sale. A very disrespectful thing to do for our nation's history.
No offense to you but the likelihood of you guys getting the funding to do proper digs is nonexistent. Better let us do it for you and complain about us on the internet.
Now I can’t stop. Where I live on the Mississippi gulf coast archeologists discovered a paleo metropolis. They couldn’t afford to dig. The entire area was lost after a hurricane but rediscovered after Katrina. Guess what ? Still can’t afford to dig so being salt marsh in a hurricane prone area will probably be lost again. I’m not mad. I actually feel terrible that history is being lost. It sucks for ALL of us that care. It seems to me like something is better than nothing.
@@homerth1555 Well. That may be the case. But this looter refuses to feel guilty until archeologists aren’t having to sit on your hands due to the sad lack of funds in this field. Besides the fact these artifacts are everywhere. I could dig up a garden sized patch in my yard out here in my little coastal town and find some. No need to be covetous over something as prolific as pennies.
It's not looting when it's private property and the laws allow for hunting for artifacts on private land, which they do in the state of Georgia where these guys are filming, on private property... At the University of Georgia, which I live right next to, there is a huge storage facility containing artifacts. Even though I studied anthropology there (but do not have an advanced degree in it), have paid my taxes that supports the facility, the archaeologists, and the research conducted there, have volunteered with field archaeology, and have supported archaeological research in the state of Georgia in other ways, the facility and its collection is completely off-limits to me because I don't have the "proper" credentials. In other words, this great public collection that is a public resource funded by the tax payer is completely off-limits to the vast majority of the general public. And how much of it has been published? I don't know for certain, but if I had to guess, probably only the merest fraction. So, since archaeology has excluded me for lacking an advanced degree in archaeology, as an avocational hobbyist, the only way for me to engage in research or learning about the material culture of the native Americans who lived here is for me to go out looking for arrowheads and other artifacts, and to read books on the subject. So, really homer, you should get off your snobby-ass high horse and shove your PhD in anthropology up your backside where it belongs, and instead of acting all high and mighty and pontificating what others should and should not do, perhaps instead you should work to promote good relations with the collector community. There just might then be more donative funding to help support archaeological research for more jackasses like yourself.

My uncle recently passed away and up in the attic I found a box and it has arrowheads and it looks like maybe some little tools they used to make them
I love Fall and Winter... December born, maybe that's why.
I greatly enjoy seeing your friends in your videos - they seem like "good 'ol boys" who are fun to hang out with. 👍
Enjoyed Robert and Daniel. So much history is lost. Take care
Bigfoot is not happy with what is happening on that property!!!! But he gives his blessing to Robert to find, cherish, record and salvage ancient relics!!!
Who is Bigfoot?
Very interesting! I wouldn't know what I was looking at though???? Pat
It's always the hunt of the treasure that makes it fun and rewarding have fun. That's one of my favorite things to do.😄
Love going along with you guys looking for artifacts. Fun, history, good friends & good times❤💯

Very interesting video. Amazing to see how much history lies hidden. Thanks!
That was fantastic thanks. What fantastic finds. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Great to see some nice finds coming up
Neat video and some great finds Robert/Dan looked like a lot of fun!
Thanks for taking us along for the adventure in the backwoods of Georgia!
Great video and nice finds! Glad you could save them before they get washed away or further crushed!

You say you're not an expert but you were right about all of the pieces. Well on your way. Congratulations I love your videos

There is some good orcheological information in the notes for this interesting search. Thank you.

I love this!! I do the same everywhere I walk in the town where I live. Appreciate nature, culture AND history!❤️
Robert, really enjoyed your video! Those pieces are cool!
I enjoyed the search. Great video!

Low 50's here in Northern FL and rain, rain, rain. Tomorrow too. Brrrrr
Fun one with Daniel and Eagle Eye Wright!! -- Interesting finds amd story! Do I recall an episode with Daniel and a Native American mound feature? Enjoyed it!!
Yes, and he found an arrowhead n left it behind too... i think thats the one you speak of
It was 50 t0 55 today in Gainesville but the wind made it feel colder. Perfect weather.
I love hunting relics. And I also took up flintknapping
Grew up doing this in Tennessee. My dad who was part Cherokee would tell me how much of the land was under water, thus limestone and underwater creatures found in stone. Not sure if the oyster falls into that category though. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood.
I wish it would cool off where I live! Still in the mid-80’s…
Hello guys love to see you love this video and the old historry thank you for that love to be with you love from Croatia
If you could find a newly plowed field after the rain is the best time to find them. A area that has Flint or next to a creek a small rise.
Hay Robert that round stone that looks like the stone put on a Native American war club at the end used to crack the enemy skull to kill them.
Flakes and brokes are great finds....imo 👍
we have a wealth of fossilized stone and shell in new zealand. you'd go nuts robert. lol
Interesting finds. Never know what you will see in an area . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
In the area you are, what tribe would that gave been? (I'm from Nebraska, so not familiar with your neck of the woods.)
...end of summer,...no copperheads,rattlesnakes...
Summer why fave no matter the heat.
Autumn 🍂 🥮 just started cold and frosty but dry leaves 🍃 coming of the trees 🌳 😢 Andrew south wales uk
Cool explore😎
Hi Robert and Daniel do you find many Indian artefacts thereln Georgia hope you enjoyed the day out Andrew south wales uk 🇬🇧 😀 👍 😊
Very cool.
This is going to sound far fetch but those kinds of rocks are what some dinosaurs would swallow to help grind vegetation in the stomach .
gastroliths
I watch a couple of guys that walk the creeks and find arrowheads and other Native American artifacts. Seneca Relics.
New year now...storms predicted for your area this week? Hope all is well in your neighborhood.
I think you are finding scrapers and tools
missing 411 ...I just watched that couple months ago
I read somewhere that Indians heated the rock the dropped cold water on it to shape into what ever they needed.
Aloha!
How do you suppose they got the jagged edges on the arrowheads. I always wondered about that. ???!!!

At 11:43, the stone could be a grinding stone, especially if real smoothe on one side.
I live close to you guys I think, would love to tag along one day.
Looks like a hammer head that they would put in there hand held hit you in the head stone. Lol ???
going to have to get daniel a arrowhead dog lol.
Awesome
😊 enjoyed
Yall didn't even realize how much gold yall were walking on
Boiling stone maybe
You guys would probably like metal detecting there.
no metal detector?
Really enjoy this kind of stuff hope to see more ..I found some along the railroad tracks check my video out.
Wer ist the Others Robert?

Gee it's amazing how clean it is. You guys are liars you have planted this. You have been reported as a scam.
