Good job you guys. There are a lot of opinionated people and lazy people out there to say that's a lot of work. If you have a passion for relic hunting then it's never work. It's actually a stress reliever. Love seeing the pieces you pull out of there.

Very cool guys! We recently threw up a video titled 3000 yr old petroglyphs on a private ranch. This was up in the Oklahoma pan handle with those same looking rock marks everywhere. An archeologist said they where Comanche markings that told a story.That makes sense some where simply put in poeple sharping there points😊

My first wife moved to Georgia and could be considered as cold as any glacier..🥶

Great job sharing your knowledge about where to hunt. Couple things: That Spring you are hunting is killer. Imagine how much water would be flowing even a couple hundred years ago before we started drilling wells and pulling water out the ground. Hunters need to remember that we pull lots of water. So lots of springs probably don’t flow regularly anymore, but 1000 years ago they did. So an ole creek bed may have been a spring even a couple hundred years ago. Second, if you were camping/surviving, how far would you walk for water everyday? Depending on where you are at, it can change. Dry desert area, maybe miles walk. The more water in an area, the closer you could camp. Third, where would you camp? Would ya camp in a bunch of rocks? Not if you had a choice. You would want a smooth sandy/soft area. Be nice if it were high enough to catch a breeze. That’s were you would camp in the hot months. The cold months you still want a smooth spot but probably out of breeze. Just some more basic things to think about when hunting artifacts.

I love the work you guys do. As kids from the inner cities of jersey, I’ve literally always wanted to do this. This is literally modern day, local archeology. I would love if you guys could drop a step by step how to video. I wonder if this is something I could I do in jerseyin a yard somewhere

Thanks for your discussion! I believe that your words should be very helpful to anyone searching for relics. There will always be isolated finds, but the majority of relics should be in locations that you describe.

Nice work guys! Beautiful display too! Wow!

This spot never disappoints !

Awesome looking stuff so far guys! Can’t wait to see what else y’all dig up! Thanks for sharing, y’all have a good one!

Cool arrowheads 😊😊😊😊

So enjoy your videos Zach Keep being Great 👍🏼

Awesome show ,y'all 👍

You’re on the hill now looks like you will be cleaning up!!! Good luck boys!!! Love Jason’s commentary let the man speak!!!!! Lol

You found a point! It's an ancient artifact that you'll remember how the entire hunt elapsed the rest of your life and that's what is most important! Found my first a few months ago only because it fell out of a bottle dump I was digging and it hit my leg and I thought what the heck was that??!! A huge beetle or grub?!! LOL! My first beautiful arrowhead. It's already in a frame. I've been hunting these things for years and I found it when I least expected it at the southern edge of the Wisconsin glacier in Illinois 🤘 Best of luck to you and enjoy watching your videos!!

That could be anywhere from Mazonia to Shelbyville!!!! I'm up by the Fox River-- Heading out to look this week---

I appreciate the tips on finding where to dig. Me and my buddy walked most of the little cricks in thug big bottom and all the hills are just cow pasture grass and we have always wondered what could be under there and I think your probing tips could help us score our first dig points. We found almost 200 whole and broke points ranging from 10,000 years old to 1000

You fellas do a great job on that sight! Lot's of good stuff! Onward! 😉👉

The honey hole is officially opened!! You guys are gonna kill it!

Love y'alls channel, but it always makes me laugh and wonder when I here the snapbase reference 😄 it seems like a pretty common thing as I have several hundred of them...😅🤣🤣 I might should consider investing in more display cases. 🤔 Thanks for taking the time to share 👍

Beautiful peice's !

Damn I need to get one of them probes your buddy’s using. I’m missing out on that technique. Thanks for tips man

Hey dude we meet you at the show down by versales missouri

Whoever said y'all don't find enough for the amount of time doesn't hunt them they're not just laying around by the dozens

Just found your channel and subbed. I got started finding artifacts in the Sautee Nacoochee Valley of NE GA(Helen area) I tell you what, every spring in that area has artifacts around it. In that area any and every flat ridge over a spring has occupation evidence. The few times I got permission to dig I found middens loaded with pottery shards and broken bowls. The same places we would choose to live, they did to. By the amount of black flint you are finding I'll guess you are in the NW GA area?

Back in the 80s we found hundreds of large white arrowheads just a few inches under the ground in the woods near a known site. They were deliberately buried about an inch apart and all pointing in the same direction. Somebody stole them from my house and sold them at a local school.

Noice man

Those flakes are called lithic scatter

Awesome. Alabama here, I have some “legality” questions if y’all don’t mind explaining what y’all know about it. They frown pretty hard on digging around here, so I feel relegated to surface hunting.

Oh yea Zack u should check out Ben Allens newest video where he found something he called Gaia and something about the Cumberland indians i guess. Anyway there hasnt been but about 50 ever found i think and it real old

I beleve the Wisconsin glacier extended into NGA during the last cold spell (glaciation)

What county? Or near which river? Thanks

We can only hunt on the surface here and lad owners are not always easy to get permission from

Who's they sport?

Zack have yall sifted that creek u just came out of. Im sure the indians probably made arrowheads there to. Alot of them

Yeah but it's been picked over pretty thoroughly over the years by fishermen and kayakers.

"Snapped base"points were never made. They're a collectors type and not officially recognized. Why would you make a point with a base and then break it off risking the whole point? They're broke, plain and simple. Just sayin.

Especially when they reused almost everything they made. If it broke they fixed it. I've found so many reworked points. Just doesn't make sense to make a point with a stem then break it. They would have made the point without the stem if that was the case.

IDK-- I've got a couple of preform pieces that weren't finished, not broken or snapped, and appear to be snap base points
