I have enjoyed watching all of your vids . Its amazes me how spot on , and correct you are on identifying each point type that you find the second you see it . From the time period , to the point type , to the rock type . Really amazing !
I love how my heart leaps when he says "I hope it's all there." Suddenly, I also hope that it's all there! I'm learning so much from your commentary and video. Thank you for your excellent work.
Smokin finds guys ! Your trenching is paying off well ! Smoker cool drill and salvaged point . The serrated point is a colorful killer and the red jasper point is a red beauty . DAYMAKERS ALL . tHANKS FOR SHARING THE TRIP OUT AND FINDS . GL & Happy Trenchin' ---Butch
+qcypointhunter Appreciate it Butch...I think We accomplished what I sat out to do this summer and that was to keep the finds coming by way of digging until surface hunting opens back up...:)...Thanks for all your views and comments...I really appreciate it and the best of luck to you sir
+Rocky Top Relics Thanks RockyTop....It does look easy when your watching the clips put together ha ha.....Knowing the rite areas to go to and put yourself in a position to find good stuff helps a lot....I can assure you it has came with a whole lot of trial and error....Thanks and Goodluck back to ya my friend
+Chris Bennett Turned out pretty good for us Chris....I'm already anxious to get back in there ha ha....Always my pleasure man....I appreciate your views and comments
Oh my gosh ..I cant get over how beautiful those are! That pine tree!! I call them Pokeys, that tree is killer! That is on my bucket list! Great Vidayoo!
Paused it at the opening back end hanging out... it is amazing that the land is quite literally filled with the evidence of these ancient races... the number of unfound points within the period of 10,000 years! Not one ever biodegrated! Less than one in 10,000 found!!! I will take a 2" point any day right! The shot at 3:13 is stellar of the Pine Tree... it is great to see you in a good land!!!
+Indian Trace You are very correct....So many artifacts in the land..! Plenty more to find.! Lots of these artifacts I noticed are coming from elevation changes in the land that cannot be seen just by looking across a field.,but can be seen by looking at the hardpan levels in the creek....Interesting stuff Trace....Thanks for your comments and insights
Great finds, guys! Love the drill and Stillwell. Might as well keep going back, 'cause there's obviously a bunch more in there. Keep it up and here pretty soon yer gonna pull out something really BIG and BAD!
Aahaha...well thank you.! I've been doing this all my life...started studying point types when I was 12 and I eat.,sleep.,and breathe creek hunting 😂....thank you for commenting
@@Theditchwalker my kids and I started arrowhead and fossil hunting together when the 2020 pandemic started. We’ve had a blast. I found a few as a child on Maryland beaches where I grew up. Check out our channel we started at Sherwood Family Adventures and you’ll see some of our finds here around Raleigh, NC. We love watching your videos!
I tell you what that’s almost greenbrier/pine tree esk like it’s an in between transition. Greenbriers transitioned into pine trees and kirks I think. I had a point just like that but bigger buddy called it a pine tree I’ll show you a pic wish I could attach pics to this. But it’s definently older than your typical classic Kirk or pine tree that’s for sure. It’s more greenbrier in its flaking and shape than Kirk or pine tree to me. Either way it’s an old transitional/ early archaic killer made of some beautiful multicolor jasper like you said. Man what a gem find gratz.
Love your videos I usually metal detect but can't wait to go creek hunting. I'm headed over from Louisiana to Mississippi in a few weeks to try this out! Thanks for all the tips your a pro!!!
“6-9K years” ago, men and women were hunting, working, and making babies. This day you found the tools of their existence. Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Wow man, the quality artifacts just keep coming! Great sand and gravel creek for diggin too. One question, are the waterways in your state part of the public realm or do you need permission to walk them? They are here in Ontario. Just wondering.
+Steve Row Thanks for your comment Steve....Those people that hunt around here treat them as part of the public realm.,but actually the Law in Mississippi is that you have to have written permission on private lands..,it is a felony to hunt artifacts on state or federal property ...Here.,all the creeks are on private lands which is mostly Farmland that I have access to...
Last night I had a wonderful dream that I found a bunch of arrowheads. Tomorrow I get to go shark tooth hunting in a river with my friend! (.......maybe I’ll find a little more than a shark tooth!🤞)
hey ditchwalker I live in iowa and I love finding arrow heads I was wanting to know if I should look in creeks or indian mounds I have found a lot of arrow heads I might post a vid about em. so I was wondering if I should look on indian mounds or creeks. thanks
+Korey Parrott I like smaller creeks that run along or out of an elevation change....Remember 2 things....Changes in elevation and water sources(creeks) are likely places for artifacts to be....Prospect the creeks and look for signs of ancient man...Pottery.,flint flakes.,etc....Goodluck man
My best friend has been dead for years we Arrowhead hunted together since we were 10 and 11 years old I love you boys I'm 70 years old now he's been dead for 20 years appreciate Shannon every chance you get they'll never be another one I guarantee you
+Jeff Bodean We're doing pretty good this year digging....This is what I wanted to do this year when surface hunting died out to keep the points coming.....I've found a lotta stuff like this over the years.....Appreciate it and Goodluck back to ya
I've never been arrowhead hunting due to my location, but I have been fossil collecting. Any suggestions for arrowheads, I'm going to be in the Midwest by Lake Erie
+Clint Green I would walk smaller tributaries off larger creeks that run into higher ground...Any slight change in elevation that the creek may run into or near is subject to produce artifacts....once you find these areas that produce.. walk them after every rain every year...It will pay off...Thanks for your comment and the best of luck to you
Thanks. I've been hunting pretty much my whole life. Surface hunting and bluff shelters. Just seen so many great artifacts come out of creeks and I've got some good creeks around those bluff shelters so hopefully I will find something.
I sell artifacts all the time....so I do not keep a big collection....I keep a special few and let the people who have time to show relics buy what I find.....I am A Finder....I have a great passion for finding the best....work keeps me from showing them like they should be showed.....so I put them into the hands of collector friends
I dunno. I would imagine that they found them from time to time...I think they became more domesticated and had plenty of material to work so there was no need to worry about recycling points.It probably happened from time to time though. Thanks for commenting

+Andre brunet well thanksAndre...my pleasure man
Es una punta estupenda amigo
Those creeks are something , I never seen ,such artifacts in one area .
It's not as easy as it looks..persistence is the key
those points you found,were they from spears?, arrows? they look like it would be difficult to shoot from bow,what is your best guess?
AWESOME FINDS
Good hunt ! Sniff em out!

50k! That’s outstanding, I can barely get plain old 50. 👍🇺🇸
Your skills are very impressive.
Thank you.
Congrats

There's a good chance....good luck and thanks for commenting Katie
hey ditchwalker I live in iowa and I love finding arrow heads I was wanting to know if I should look in creeks or indian mounds I have found a lot of arrow heads I might post a vid about em. so I was wondering if I should look on indian mounds or creeks. thanks
+Korey Parrott I would choose creeks.,and not just one.....gain acces to as many as u can and hunt them after every rain
+Theditchwalker ok thanks how can you tell what creek is Indian
+Korey Parrott I like smaller creeks that run along or out of an elevation change....Remember 2 things....Changes in elevation and water sources(creeks) are likely places for artifacts to be....Prospect the creeks and look for signs of ancient man...Pottery.,flint flakes.,etc....Goodluck man
+Theditchwalker ok thank you
Theditchwalker I found 3 good points today I look at Indian mounds and find some killers
way to go! Very nice serrated piece.You reckon I'd still make a g10 if my teeth are wore down on one side? LOL
+FlintSpall ....Lol I dunno.,I guess it's possible ain't it lol....Thanks Flint
My best friend has been dead for years we Arrowhead hunted together since we were 10 and 11 years old I love you boys I'm 70 years old now he's been dead for 20 years appreciate Shannon every chance you get they'll never be another one I guarantee you
man your finding some killers. good luck
+Jeff Bodean We're doing pretty good this year digging....This is what I wanted to do this year when surface hunting died out to keep the points coming.....I've found a lotta stuff like this over the years.....Appreciate it and Goodluck back to ya
U are so lucky !
that little one with the broke base is a Kirk Snapped base.
I've never been arrowhead hunting due to my location, but I have been fossil collecting. Any suggestions for arrowheads, I'm going to be in the Midwest by Lake Erie
That point at 4:02 looks like a fish spear point
I've never creek walked. what would I look for to know I found a good creek?
+Clint Green I would walk smaller tributaries off larger creeks that run into higher ground...Any slight change in elevation that the creek may run into or near is subject to produce artifacts....once you find these areas that produce.. walk them after every rain every year...It will pay off...Thanks for your comment and the best of luck to you
Thanks. I've been hunting pretty much my whole life. Surface hunting and bluff shelters. Just seen so many great artifacts come out of creeks and I've got some good creeks around those bluff shelters so hopefully I will find something.
Ever find any birds stones out there
Not ever
Have you made a vid of your collection? If not you should!
I sell artifacts all the time....so I do not keep a big collection....I keep a special few and let the people who have time to show relics buy what I find.....I am A Finder....I have a great passion for finding the best....work keeps me from showing them like they should be showed.....so I put them into the hands of collector friends
Theditchwalker do you have a website?
what state do u hunt the points in?? thnx
Mississippi
@ 1:21 to the left of your hand....not a point looks drilled
Do you think the last of the local Indians walked the creeks to recycle points?
I dunno. I would imagine that they found them from time to time...I think they became more domesticated and had plenty of material to work so there was no need to worry about recycling points.It probably happened from time to time though. Thanks for commenting
Your videos are like tater chips.
+Critter Cosner lol thanks man
Watching these videos kill me. I moved down to southeast florida and there are no such thing as creeks here . No where to look.
They look so good wet, just like women.
Where is all the politically correct bullshit and leftist advertising? No wait, you just get right into it. Nice vids, good job.
RUclips chooses the ads....I choose the content lol....thank you for commenting
AWESOME FINDS
That point at 4:02 looks like a fish spear point
