Thank you brother man. When are we going diggin together lol

Thank you so much my friend. I enjoying sharing these beautiful works of art/history almost as much if not more than finding them. We are honored by your comment and greatly appreciate the kind words. Take care brother and best of luck out there on your next adventure.

@@benallen7793 Thanks and best of luck to you guys too!

It was my pleasure John. I’m just glad you enjoy the content. Are you a new subscriber or have you been tuned in for awhile? I only ask cause I’d encourage you to dig back through some of my older videos. Take care John and have a great weekend

Thank you brother. I’m dying to find a full Decatur now. I didn’t realize they were so small in size. I’ve got one I found last year that’s less than an inch. The last one found in the video was the biggest I’ve ever found. Me and Josey have found 5 all together and only 1 was whole from a construction site. What I’m most excited about tho is the harpeth river I found. First I’ve ever found and would love to see a more pristine example. Either way thanks for the comment brother and have a great day. ✌🏻

@@benallen7793 No doubt bro! Thats one for the list for sure.. I found that g-10 Decatur first thing when I started hunting…kind of assumed they were all that size…just wonder how the fractured base fits in???hafting??? Hard to say but keep it up!!!

Thank you brother man. That old piece I called a greenbrier is actually what’s called a harpeth river. Points 365 finds them more than me and definitely thinks so as well. Those Decaturs are nasty little buggers. One of these days damn it I’ll find a full piece. Hitting the river tomorrow for 3 days with a good friend from Ohio. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I can put him on a couple good ones. Take care and have a great night my friend

Will do brother man. Take care ✌🏻

Thank you my friend. Have a great day ☀️

They dang sure did brother. One of these days I’m going to get an intact Decatur. 🤞🏻Thanks for the comment

@benallen7793 good luck. They are sweet points. I may try to knap one myself

Thank you brother. I’ve got a special one coming tomorrow. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment, and have a great night ✌🏻

Thanks Scott. Couldn’t have put it better. One more chapter down in hopefully a very long story. God willing of course. Take care bubba and have a wonderful day.

Thank you very much Warren. I’ve got a special rock talk video coming up here soon. Take care brother

Thanks you so much Tiller. Good eyes 👀 She’s definitely a greenbrier. I miss typed it slightly in the video calling it a kirk or pine. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the comment. I’m praying for a toothy girl to come outta that overhang for ya. Take care bubba and have a wonderful day.

Thank you brother. She’s right there in that family/cluster of points. Take care pimpin ✌🏻

Thank you brother

Thank you brother. When can I see y’all back in action? The plows should be running hopefully here soon. Take care my friends and best of luck out there this year.

We should be getting back out any day now! It feels like it’s been forever. I can’t wait to start finding flint again.

Thank you my friend. I had to reach out to points 355 to figure that harpeth river out afterwards. I called it right in the video tho thank god or people would have torn me up about it lol. First one I’ve ever found! Very excited to that possibly in nicer condition. Also I’ve found 4 or 5 broken Decaturs now and I’m dying to find one whole. Those tips are wide and so thin they seem to stand little chance to survive all that tumbling/rolling around. Either way I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment. Take care and happy hunting.

Thank you my friend. That TT was special indeed. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care ✌🏻

Thanks brother man. Take care and have a great day

Thank you Jennifer and thank God I’m finally over the funk that’s been going around. With two young kids I swear I’ve been sick more in the past two years than in my entire life haha. Take care and have a great night.

@@benallen7793 they are Petri dishes 😁

Thank you Doug. Sharing these finds is almost as fulfilling if not more so than finding the artifacts. Take care brother and have a great night

Thank you 🙏🏻 means a lot to me…. I love your channel and the knowledge you share with the community. Take care and have a great rest the day.

Bad corner to be on indeed brother….. murderers’ row in fact and was probably statistically worse than the south side of Chicago 😂. As soon as the game they were hunting got into these choke points there was no coming back and god forbid you caught the rival clan creeping into these grounds. Either way thanks for the comment/laugh and have a great weekend my friend

Thanks for the advice and we’re honored by your comment brother. Glad to hear you enjoy my ramblings haha Definitely hit the river when the water drops back off. Take care brother and have a good week. ✌🏻

Thank you Chris. Take care brother

Thank you buddy. Have a great night

Thank you Z. That little triangular point definitely had an older look to it. Cobbs maybe or I was kinda thinking Hi Lo variant. As far as the Packard you found it also had an old look to it. I found a few greenbrier dalton type points that have a straight side and a small shallow notch in them. Seems to be a common technique to the transitional paleo peoples. Congratulations on the find and thank you for taking the time to comment on my video. ✌🏻

Thanks Terry. I’ve been to 3 or 4 shows in the past but just stopped going because they always seem to fall on my free days to hunt. I wanted to go to the St. Joseph show again this year but missed it sadly. What shows are coming up? I’ll try and make the time. Do you have a table or just passionate about artifacts? One day I’d love to have a table at some of the shows. Only thing I don’t like is not having a finders/hunters only show. Most these guys can’t tell ya where the piece was found if it’s not written on a COA.

💯 brother

Thanks brother man. A few heartbreakers but screams to the potential of the sites. The harpeth river was a first for me and I really hope to see a more intact/unused one in the future 🤞🏻 take care my friend and best of luck out there.

Thank you brother. That TT is exceptional. Cool part is the curved side of the blade feels ground at the highest point of the arch I’m guessing from heavy use.

@@benallen7793 Awesome for sure 👍

Thank you brother. Josey Whales is the only man I know that consistently pulls 5” points out. Seems like every year now 😡 if you can’t tell I’m a touch jealous. 😂 I only have two that are 4 3/8” and 4 1/12”s. I’ve seen all your videos also and your definitely in a very old area. Where I think you need to focus is the areas that don’t put out anything but the oldies like you mentioned in last video or two ago. Where you said that sick pinetree and quad were found. In what you considered to be more of a dead zone. Trust me I know your just a good rain storm/ 1/4” of erosion away from an epic piece again! My best sites will produce nothing sometimes for 10-20 trips and sometimes not at all in a season. What drives me nuts tho is being on a heavily flaked out site in the bottoms. Sure I frequent areas like this when the oldies aren’t showing themselves.. Focus only on burnt rock and little sign areas. Take care my friend. Happy hunting and have a great weekend

@@benallen7793 looks like I’m gonna have to borrow ole Whales from you for a month or two. Those sites I found the good stuff on have a heavy layer of muck on top of the hard pan. They have for the last two years. Even In different areas it seems like the hard pan migrates from the bank that was good the year before to another one that was covered in mud previously! I’ve learned to just try to hunt the hard pan areas and move on to the next even if it’s 10 minutes away by boat. I have sites that look like the indians poured out buckets full of flint everywhere. I used to try and pick up the flint to discourage people from hunting my areas, now I’ve found the greatest deterrent is a bunch of my tracks that were left behind right after every rain. That’ll discourage others quicker than anything. Good luck out there!👍👍👍

Thank you 🙏🏻 You and me both brother. I’ve been to that site 10 times at least this year so she’s definitely due. Most my best sites are late late winter sites so 🤞🏻 Take care and happy hunting my friend.

Thank you Gerry. Just working with what the good lord gave me haha. Have a great weekend my friend.

Thank you my friend

Maybe so… who knows…. the areas I hunt are very old and I’ve found multiple broken Clovis points around them. If I missed it and you saw it through the video then Ive got to schedule a visit to the optometrist lol thanks for the comment and man I hope your wrong. I went back and looked but couldn’t identify what you saw. Take care and have a great day

Thank you sir

Oh my goodness!!! 50 bucks haha yeah that’s insane. I’ve got a book on all the best Middle Tennessee paleo points. It shows the point type and gives the back story to the pieces. There apparently was a dozer/road worker that was regrading a road/driveway for a friend and kick out a huge Cumberland. He sold it to the family reportedly for a single dollar. Haha Either way thanks for the comment and have a great day my friend.

Thanks brother. Fortunate fools I love to say. Haha take care and have a great night

Can’t say I have a quartz hatchet cause we don’t find many pieces of quartz in my area. Tho I have found flint hatches/adzes. That’s awesome brother… I only wish I could see so many of the collections out there. Arrowhead hunting is what I call a southern pastime. I grew up doing it with my mom and uncles as I’m sure many of us southerns did. Either way thanks for the comment and have a great rest the day

@@benallen7793 thank you for replying hopefully in about a week I'll be able to afford a new phone and I'll take some pictures of my collection I have a stone pickaxe that you would love I pulled them all out of the small creek that runs through my dad and uncles land just up the street from the meherring river in VA

In short yes you can… Better question tho is why would you? These artifacts in the video range from 3k-9k years old. To resharpen them is very possible but would ruin the artifacts authenticity imo. The damage to the pieces are usually from use wear all those years ago. Perfect artifacts are nice but very rare. I’m partial to the used up ones also because they tell one hell of a story in a sense. Like the scrapers in the video. They saw probably 10+ animals and were essential in cleaning the hide of the animal 🦬 Thanks for the comment Robert and have a great week.
