Don't change anything. Your content is great brother, Keep it real and you will go far. Great tools and made from quartz to boot. I used to search people's dig piles for quartz crystals at night with a flashlight because they gleam in the light. Thanks for sharing and many blessings.

Noted! I have yet to find a full shaped quartz crystal but I know they’re out there. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement

You have had a lot of fun today.

Haha yeah i find them all the time lol

I live in Blair county PA. Moved here about a year ago from western PA, and have been trying to find places to go artifact hunting near me. I've got some creeks and the Juniata River to the east. Good luck with your channel. I believe you're on the right track!

Thanks jerry! And good luck with your finds! Quartz and argillite mixed with some chert farther east of lancaster is common around here so keep your eyes peeled for any color stone 😂

I used to use GoPros, but anymore it’s just so much more convenient and easier using an iPhone.

Youre probably right, I just like having 2 hands free for when im on slippery clay banks (i fell twice while filming on my last hunt a few dats ago) its definitely easier to upload through an iphone

Cool finds, dude 👍

That creek is absolutely packed with big chunky worked quartz! That's awesome. I have a feeling you could pull a full quartz axe out of a spot like that. Congrats on the 8 cents in aluminum, lol! Seriously though, that stuff adds up. Great vid!

Thanks again for the support, yes that creek is absolutely packed with stuff, it may not be pretty but at least I know what it is haha. I filmed a little bit there a few days back and found some more cool things- that bid should be out next Thursday 👍🏼 Thanks again man!

@@eastcoastlithics1398 Just remember, even though that stuff is common to you, I'd kill to find a big chunk quartz scraper like that. It's easy for any of us to get complacent with what we have in our area. But your common find is my rare find. The grass is always greener, ya know! Keep pullin them big quartz chunks, I love seeing them!

.It must be exciting to search in the dark, I've never done it. Quartz will always be a material that draws attention for its beauty. Well, my friend. I call it golden hour when the sun is one hour close to setting, it makes the arrowheads shine in the distance and you can see it up to 20 or more meters away. Good job my young friend. Greetings and blessings.

That must be very cool to see the points from that far away and know what it is! And yes using a headlamp and searching in the dark makes you focus better on one area. Thanks for watching and commenting I really apreciate it!

Looked like a fun hunt!! I like your anvil very nice.

Where's the flint and chert? Most of that quartz looks natural. Here in PA we have a lot of quartz.

@eastcoastlithics1398

Im down in south central, about 20 miles from the MD line so we dont get a lot of the jasper from Berks county, or a lot of the flint and chert from Ohio and Crawford/Erie. I can definitely see why the quartz looks natural on camera but if you saw it in person you would agree it had been worked. The white color makes it hard to see the radial fractures (the glass-like circular breaks from precision and pressure flaking)

​@@eastcoastlithics1398 I'm also from south central PA, do you have any tips for arrowhead hunting? Is creek walking the best way?

@eastcoastlithics1398

@@jq7323 creek walking for me is pretty difficult but rewarding because the ripples in the water distort your view, your ability to see stuff is also dictated by water height, clarity, the reflection on the water (this can be counteracted with polarized sunglasses), and the color of the stone. Creek pros: lots of erosion and a hotspot for points and artifacts, lots more to find compared to just a plowed field, less plow damage to artifacts but creeks can damage and wear points too. You can search the shores and dry gravel bars which produce a lot of artifacts. Creek cons: cold water is hard to be in during winter and spring unless you have waders, hard to see certain worked stone types, visibility is dependent on conditions If you want to search in fields look for freshly plowed fields on high ground near an ancient fresh water source like a creek or spring or river (especially the susquahennah) and go right after a hard rain because it washes the dirt off the points. If you want to know or clarify anything else just ask me haha It takes a little to develop an eye for worked stone but youll get it eventualy

Dude you got a lot to learn. All that quartz you are picking up isn't anything.
