Heavy rainfall creates a rare occurrence where we have a big washout in the fall months, which reveals a lot of ancient Native American artifacts in the creeks and rivers.
Certain waterways can really produce after some good rain, you never know what you might find. I hope you find some more artifacts some time! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I live in Mountainburg amongst some of the greatest Native American artifacts and shelters. I Knapp as well, I am 1/4 Cherokee Nation Oklahoma, and work with them on making points for their gift shop. I find a lot of really old ones and try and replicate. I found one at the house the other day and in all the years of finding Native American artifacts I found a bird point that was a small flake triangular point. The very first ever found up here
@artifactsofarkansas5549 Just nothing really handy around the house...I have a buddy down the road ,invited me to one of his creeks, but can't find time to get together.. 😎✌
Thanks man! It was a great time. The snake is actually a black rat snake, I find a lot of them around here. My family had chickens growing up and they would always be after the chicken eggs.
I’ve been to the crater of diamonds a couple times but still haven’t found any. I doubt the natives messed with them much. Crystals and other pretty stones are more attracting and much more abundant.
@ if diamonds are in the crater than who’s to say they can’t be found everywhere else? Hope you find one one day. Don’t look for shiny when looking for diamonds. FYI
Probably pretty similar numbers here in general. A couple of my hunting spots have rougher and more water worn ones than others but I don’t hunt them as often and try to stay to the spots where I find the best ones
Most rocks in the creek actually don’t have a lot of stain on them after a flood. These have washed out recently. A couple of them have slight staining and the creek wear on some of them is clear as day. You may need some better glasses my friend.
I hate when people don’t just use their head. When you artifact hunt a creek after a rain most of the stuff you will find just got washed into the creek out of the bank, that’s why it doesn’t have a creek stain. People say the same about bottles, you might find a few that were in the bottom of the creek for a year or two but money have recently been washed out of their resting place in the dirt.
@@BigfootBottler-rc8te Thats exactly right! That’s why we look after floods so it washes stuff out. Sometimes I get lucky and find creek stained stuff right after a flood, there’s no doubt that some pieces get stained under the rocks then turned over and revealed in the flood, but I find most of my creek stained stuff once the water has gone down a lot. Especially when we’re almost in drought stage and I can finally search the deeper holes that weren’t accessible before.
Some types of rock won’t allow growth is what I’ve notice. It’s just the way it is. Only a select few arrowhead materials will stain, the rest won’t and stay shining bright and obvious.
@@OuterBanksArrowheads-n6tI’ve noticed that most of the time the artifacts take longer for growth to accumulate vs other rocks. Most of my hunts like this video are right after floods anyway so not much stain in general.
I’ve only found one artifact in my life and you find such cool ones casually 😅 these are so nice!

Great stuff brother
Thanks brother. I’ve started to learn new stretches of creeks and rivers and it’s really starting to pay off
A great marathon of beautiful pieces my friend. Enjoy until the end. BLESSINGS.
@@coyotearrowheadhunting3083 Thank you coyote! Good luck out there, blessings to you and Pepe
My husband found a broken bird tip arrow head - he looked about 10 more minutes and found the missing piece.
Good work 👍😊
I appreciate it!
Nice pile of finds!🏹
Thanks man! Good luck to you out there 🏹

That’s awesome! I don’t run in to many knappers, hopefully that bird point was the first of many for you to find up there.
Nice finds 👍
Thank you!
Holy smokes brother, killer finds. Its flooded big time here, ill probably have to wait towards the end of the week to hunt it. Congrats on your finds
That’s exciting! I’m looking forward to seeing what you find
Great buddy!
Thanks man!
@ always!
Nice artifacts, congrats ❤
Thank you Janice!
@artifactsofarkansas5549 you're welcome 🤗
Dang it man !!!
You're definitely on em !!!!😎✌️🍀⛏️⛏️
@@historylooker7 gotta love a good rain!
@artifactsofarkansas5549
I need to try creek /river hunting, someday ✌🍀⛏⛏
@ I definitely recommend it! Get out there a couple days after high water and see what’s waiting for ya
@artifactsofarkansas5549
Just nothing really handy around the house...I have a buddy down the road ,invited me to one of his creeks, but can't find time to get together..
😎✌
@@historylooker7Time is hard to find for a lot of things, I find that especially true the older I get.
that kingsnake was almost the highlight of the show, but the points take it.

@@artifactsofarkansas5549 oh cool I guess I don't know the difference
@@Unk13DaveThey look somewhat similar. I’m sure the bite feels similar too, I’ve probably been bit over 100 times by black rat snakes.
@@artifactsofarkansas5549 at least its not a hog nose, it would have smelled like death.
😮wowza
Thanks Mandy!
So where in Arkansas are you? I hunt where I'm at in nw Arkansas and never find anything. Have no clue where to go.
I hunt north central, northwest, and sometimes central.
Killer finds brother, Hope you had a great Christmas, Happy New Year!!👊🏹
I hope you had a good Christmas too, and have a happy new year! Good luck out there 👊🏹
all found in one day ?
Two different days. I spent about 2 or 3 hours each day, I would’ve looked more if I had the time.
I’m surprised you don’t keep an eye out for diamonds
I’ve been to the crater of diamonds a couple times but still haven’t found any. I doubt the natives messed with them much. Crystals and other pretty stones are more attracting and much more abundant.

I hunt a lot of creeks one out of 10 maybee water polished
Probably pretty similar numbers here in general. A couple of my hunting spots have rougher and more water worn ones than others but I don’t hunt them as often and try to stay to the spots where I find the best ones
@artifactsofarkansas5549 yes always hunt the spots where you have found the best and always remember you never find them all
Why don’t the artifacts have creek stain on them? Every rock in the creek has stain except all the points. You have to admit that’s fishy.
