    I watch your video s but have never commented. But I just had to when I saw it was 115 blades cache. I live in East Tennessee and have hunted for 40 years . I found a cache of 42 blades early in my career in January 86 only 2 were particularly showing at waters edge, I felt around in the water about a 3 foot area, most were in a 2 foot area. Looked the spot every since 86 found no more. 36 years later in November 2022, I saw 2 inches of what was a 4.5 inch by 3 inches wide at the base blade. Pick it up and underneath was another one and one on it s edge, they were just stacked on each other all in a tite 1.5 foot area. There were basically 3 different sizes the largest on top and the smallest on bottom. The number 115 and 1 arrowhead don't really know if it was part of it or not but it was rite with the blades. So it did happen twice in a lifetime but it was nearly a lifetime between the two finds.
