Ohio River Archaeology - Arrowhead Hunting - How To Find Arrowheads - History Channel - Dovetail -
I explain how to find arrowheads using HUGE LOGS in this one with excellent results....I find a Dovetail. Many of you have asked me "Can I find Arrowheads with a stick?" Nope. But you can with a log.

It is real EASY to move big logs around laying in water using a spud bar to "pry them along". I had trouble with that real big one. But in the water with a spud bar....i got it moved fairly easily when the water rose just a little around it. A big log like that REALLY accumulates the rock around them. And I always find artifacts.

That was a really nice point! The knives werent bad either. Too bad that one was broken. 💖💯
I love learning new stuff---this video did not disappoint! As for the smoke here in Ohio---it sure is nuts, that's the word for it all right. Been out in it with my doggo, giving it the side-eye.

I feel ya! We live in Oregon and we've dealt with horrific forest fires for about the past 10 summers ... but we've been lucky (so far) this season. I feel for you all because I know it's easy to breathe or see theu all that heavy smoke!! Stay strong & if you have to, dip a hand-towel in cool water - wrong it out & wrap it around your nose & mouth. That smoke sux!!! Hoping for the best for all of you dealing with that yuck!!! ♡

You can hear the smoke damage in my voice....I am a mess. It is like I am allergic to it....like cigarette smoke. I felt like I was in a bar with everyone smoking but me
Wow congrats on the 8000year old find Big Chief so glad your on the river and come on over to wv anytime We love you here ✌️@ltr.
That last one had a nice waxy color/look about it. Old Chaps keep the fort secure. Thanks, Rocks. Watch yourself in the heat this year.
I knew you'd find a daymaker, Rocks, you always come through. The Dovetail is a beauty. Be careful out in this heat!❤
Good stuff. Also, glad im not the only one w the coffee addiction, lol.
Very nice!! Back to the old school style!!! Love it bro!!! Stay on the river!!!!
Thank you for continuing to share your methods and finds!
Love the color on that knife! That dovetail point is a beauty!

Keep em coming and I'll keep watching!!! Sweet finds Rocks!
Good finds ,,, thanks for taking us with you !

Two questions Rock. What kind of coffee were you drinking? I love my coffee too. And how did you get so knowledgeable on artifacts. Love your video`s.
I messed up not contacting you sbout gun flints made for flintlocks. Looks like Ive seen what looks like Brown Bess sized flints 1" - 1 -1/4 square flint and I must have fell asleep after the video ...Twice on videos I thought what I saw are gun flints.I reckon you know more about it.
Very nice old point! Those are rare to find . I think if you keep at it you will find something one of these days that is truly monumental, not to take away from any of the fine artifact that you have found.I hope I am here to see it too!
I may not be on next week will catch up happy 4th everyone , my sister is dying from organ failure so it’s full time care now

@joyceclark8476 This is one of the 1st years in over a decade that Oregon isn't socked in with choking smoke from forest fires (many caused by Antifa) ... we never got special coverage or gov't disaster relief due to fires. Yes - it all sucks ... and sadly, I fear both our govt's are welcoming this disaster so they can claim "climate crisis crap!" 🤷🏻♀️ I do feel for you all though because I know it sux - big time!!! 🤗❤️ *love & hugs*
Always great to see the Squirrel Man, and wow, you found a good point today, it is awesome. Take care when you are out there, the snakes are moving about. Blessings.
Hell yea nice

Only bad thing. I dug the pockets out laying on the base clay on that place. I will have to wait 2 weeks or so till the waves relayer the stuff again. I will go back
I've been watching for years. I learned everything from you. Thanks man.

Thank You So much. I will go back on the river here in a few days. I gotta take a break. I am blitzed. I hope you find a big one
Ol, El chapo !! Awesome to see the squirrel master as always happy finds✌️
Ohhhh yeeaaah
You are a genius using the log as an artifact catcher!! We are always learning stuff from you. Thanks Rocks! Sorry about the forest fire smoke from up here in Canada. The air quality here has been worst in the world a few days 😷.Hoping for clear skies. Take care and hydrate well!
The flat button on the clay looks like colonial period pewter button off a weskit. Native Americans wore them .A long wool vest of the period.
That looks like a Thebes almost! Sweet. 👍🏼. (I have to disagree with you on the Dovetail call. Doves have convex bases and that’s concave all day long.) It’s a BEAUTIFUL point-whatever it is! 👍🏼
😎👍
Watching now! ❤ Thx for opening the show with SquirrelMan!! 😊 You sure deserve a big high-five and a really big hug for helping him to become the strong, frisky little critter he's become. He most likely wouldn't have survived without you & the loads of tlc you have given him!! *BIG HUGS!!* Also, super cool arrowheads & artifacts ... thx for sharing your adventures with us!! You ROCK!! Have a SAFE & FUN 4th of July ... 🇺🇲❤️😎
That log looks like a gar or something. Has an eye and out to the right it's mouth. Like it's just laying there watching!
Love that tan or brown material. It's not common here. Gotta like those head scratchers .seems many of the earlier notched points kinda are hybrids. Raining here so I'm just chilln with a cup of coffee and watching videos✌️😎

@rockscousteau no hunting today. I need rest. Beat down. Tired. I've got about 6 or 7 uploads in reserve to be made. I hit it hard this spring. I held back a paleo point for the 4 th of July. That's the next upload. Slight tip nic, but it has a base spur and ground on the base and up its sides. Small to medium sized deer hunters projectile. Site 1 and I found a large broken one to go with it. Also spurred. Last year I found a broken in the field adjacent. The site 1 complex was used at a minimum 10,500 to 2000 BP . Digging and surface hunting hard for years has brought a much greater understanding of the site and broader related insights ✌️😎
Hey rocks you ever find a piece of used herniate in the shape of a cube drilled on the corner like a amulet, found lots of herniate but never drilled . Not drilled like bow drill or banner stone. Been collecting arrowheads for fifty years never seen anything like it.

Hey Rocks i was wondering, do you ever find older points on your mississippian sites?
Hey Rocks, Have you ever found Native American pottery whole? or have you ever been able to glue together pieces of broken pottery?

Yea. They have squirrel breeders in Ohio.....and you can buy squirrels. Squirrel man is a better pet than a dog. And 100% he is smarter than my dog. it is not even close on intelligence. The squirrel is in the room behind me....and if I yell...."Squirrel man" "Lets go outside".............He will be in here like a lightning bolt.....ready to go

Rock, I like the music you use. How about a link to its composer? And name. Thanks
Do you know what an Indian artifact really looks like? That was NOT a blade that you first pulled up, and that "arrowhead point" was just a pointed rock, not an artifact. Sorry sir, but you need some lessons about what an artifact is. I've seen people like you; every stone is a point. NOT!

You can clearly see they’ve been “worked.” I had a neighbor like you-put me down about my finds. She had no background. Turns out I have a Virginville, Morrow, and more! All from my Northern Balt Co suburban property. Nearest stream today is .5 mile away.
