Love how you show all the steps. Not just turning on the camera when you find one. Your demonstration of the scraper and how well it still works was real living history.
@@cleggsadventures I said to the missus, "Clegg's a legend; He finds a scraper tool that may be several hundred to a few thousand years old; Then proceeds to demonstrate how efficient it can still be in stripping off bark centuries later!" They sure don't make tools like they used to, eh? In the future they'll never find one of our modern tools in the mud & find it to be the least bit useful. lol
Great hunt, Clegg! That long polished looking hardstone was the very first thing that caught my eye 😳 when you dragged that screen up. Sure has the "look" to it. Thanks for sharing!
well you did ALL the work but I sure had a great time!! hahah! thanks so much for telling us what they are and their ages/use!! Love your adventures!! they're so FUN!
I hunt fluorite down in Southern IL. You have me wanting to retire from fluorite and start shoveling the Ohio River shorelines near Cave In Rock IL. Can't get enough of ur vids !!!
Love the channel. I live in Circleville Ohio. It's close to Chillicothe Ohio. Ancient American mounds,earthworks. All around surrounding area in farm fields. You'll find arrowheads. We found a Obsidian arrowhead in Hocking Hills Logan,Ohio
I picked up a common scraper one time and carried it in my pocket close to two months. I stopped at a cousins house one night when they where skinning a deer. Both their knives went dull so I pulled that chunk of flint out and finished the deer. Absolutely amazing what that chunk of stone could do. The cut wasn't as nice as a knife but it did the job.
Great video my Friend, man you were in em. Some nice finds. That hardstone piece caught my eye. Got to be some kind of tool or pestle. If you decide let us know, interesting piece. As always, truly enjoyed. Man you worked your butt off making that video. 👍
Thanks Chris! I found a couple of other one in the past but they had the ends pecked up. This one has no scares. Maybe collected but just never used. Hard call on some of this stuff
Im jealous 😂. Arrowheads have been nonexistent around here 😅. But you work hard using that sifter, you earn em for sure! 👌. That scraper sure scrapes too! Lol. Best of luck on the next one 🤙
Ok so there are many out there hunting and I truly believe you tell a great story. Rocky is such a fun compliment to your stories. You have redefined the path on hunting shoreline. Keep up the fun!
Hey Mr. Clegg,,,you've got the absolute best videos of the whole net!!! Educational, upbeat, exciting, humorous.....ya just CANT be beat! Thank you so very much!!!
👍 That scraper probably cleaned it's share of fish scales as well. That elongated smooth stone was absolutely used for something special if not for various things. No need for gym membership doing all that. Nice finds.
Glad to see you back out again this year, Clegg! Next month I will be leaving the clay soil valley that was once the lake bottom of Lake Agassiz for the first time in 23 years. I'm looking at doing some hiking around some creeks in the area I'll be staying at in the hopes of finding some points! :D I'll probably be skunked, but I'll have fun looking anyway. lol
Great video as always Scott !!!! At this point in MY life I would be happy with a flake. Yes, The broken artifacts are amazing to me also. It's also amazing to me to be able to watch people like you and my other CZcams friends find and save these artifacts. Never thought it possible when I was young and a computer took up a whole room. My computer has become my adventures. Sad truthfully. But a savior for sanity. I appreciate the effort you all put in to educate and entertain. I hope you are in good health and happy Sir. Many blessings.
@@cleggsadventures I try to be Scott. I miss a lot because I sleep too much. LOL I always feel like I had fun watching you have fun. That's what it's all about for me. I was wondering if you ever made another display table? Heck I'm rambling again. Thanks Scott !!!
I live near Meadowcroft Village where humans may have lived for 19,000 years. Love watching your videos and keep hoping you’ll get that really “old” one.
I always enjoy your videos. They're both informative and entertaining. I can't overemphasize my appreciation for Rocky's contributions! Without him, you'd be struggling! :)
That long smooth stone is probably a tool used to stretch and rub animal hides. It makes the skin soft a pliable. I've found several of them at a Deptford site I hunt. They come in different sizes. I've heard them referred to as "skinning stones".
Thank you for another great adventure. Had my kids watch some of your videos, they liked the one with the jar of snow cone juice you found. They laughed so hard my boy wet himself lol.
@@cleggsadventures mine too. I feel like I need a detox program the way I check everyday for a new video. Gotta get my fix man. Had my heart worried. My husband asked me at the table the other night if I’d seen or heard anything from Scott yet. I told him not but I was checking everyday. He said make sure you let me know when you find anything out. My daughter, who was visiting from Charlotte, said “Scott who”? Scott Clegg I said and she immediately said “oh yeah from the Christmas party, I know who ya talking about”. My husband and I laughed so hard there wasn’t any sound coming out. So…you are now the big joke in the family. We all act like Scott is some random person in our life now, and it gets funnier and funnier. “Did u see my keys laying on the counter”? “ Check with Scott maybe he has” “When are you going to get the yard mowed”? “ I’m waiting on Scott to get here” And the favorite reply to multiple questions…. “Who put this dirty dish in my clean sink”? “Scott did” You provide more entertainment than you know. Glad to see you back!
As usual Scott a great job , that is a very unusual find . I hope you didn't hurt Rockys feelings by finding the point without Rocky . Those Amos boys do like to party , so go easy on him , he may of had a bad head this morning . Keep up the good work Scott . You have the best artifact channel on you tube , thanks for all you do
My favorite person to watch!!! Did you have anyone define the long rock that you said you did not know what it was??? Thanks for allowing us chair sitters to enjoy your hard work and your wonderful hobby!
Much Appreciated! It was smoothed on two sides only. I’ve found a couple others the same that were beat up on the ends, but this one was not. Some sort of small pestles I would say, but this one must not have been used much or lost before use.
The gray , darker band in the recessed area on the hill side looks very promising. Could maybe be under a midden ? The cylinder stone looked like it could’ve been with a metate for grinding grain. Thanks for another great day on the river. 💫
It’s not a midden , it was an old fire pit. There wasn’t much charcoal, only specks but I could see where the soil was darker and what looked to be cooking stones all in there
New subscriber here, love your videos. I used to hunt arrowheads when I was younger and there were many farmers that plowed the fields. Now they're all gone and most of them have houses in the same areas we found arrowheads. Thanks for sharing your adventures for us to enjoy.
Kudos to Rocky for finding that nice point and getting Gator Aid. 😆 I think that long smooth stone is definitely an artifact. I find those in areas where I know they camped. I have no idea what they were used for.. You seem to find a lot more projectile points that stone tools. My searching gets me the opposite. For every projectile point I find, I'll come across 100 stone tools. I don't know why.. Anyway, thanks for bringing us the video. It's a lot of work, much appreciated.
Hey Clegg! W.V. watcher from Morgantown and subscriber since I found your channel. :) I always thought that sometimes people don't take into account that sometimes when you find a "poorly made" point, it could have just been made by an amateur. Kids had to learn how to make these things as they matured, and they would still use pretty much any sharp point they could, even if it wasn't pretty. To take that even further, you see so many wonky re-sharpened points - I'll bet you one of the learning tasks young natives were given was re-sharpening broken points, instead of tasking them with using a brand-new nice piece of material the adults didn't want messed up. Just like when we teach our children how to do things. We don't just throw a novice mechanic at a car engine, we start by teaching basics like changing a tire. Then we move on to more complex tasks which require experience, and an artist in their craft is rarely if ever born but made through years of experience. So when we see a beautiful point, it was probably made by an elder with lots of practice, and when we see an ugly but functional point, or maybe even one that was so rough it was just discarded around a camp fire, spare a though that it might have been one of the first attempts of a child trying to master the skills their parents were passing down.
That was well put. Most people don't take the time to teach our children the things that they will need to make it in their lives. Most will pay someone else to do it but it's not the same.😢
Clegg, I just realized you are the Bill Nye of head hunting 😂 and I say that with much respect of course! 👌 the way you film and speak reminds me a lot of him. *chants CLEGG Clegg Clegg Clegg CLEGG* 😅 great demo on that scraper! Quality stuff as expected! Keep on keepin on
Nice work brother! My guess is that smooth elongated stone was one of their tools for knocking flakes off in the early stages of making a point. Nice finds brother!
Clegg....I hit the one in a million the day before yesterday. Here in north Alabama we have several paleo sites. As I was walking the edge of one of these sites where I had found some points in past years I came along a small washout right above the flint river. I look down and saw what I thought was the tip of a point and it was. Only about 1/8 of the tip was sticking out so I reach down to pick it up thinking it was broke for sure and it didn't move. I took my plastic tip scraper and started removing the dirt around it and the further I got the harder my chest started pounding. Yep.....the holy grail was revealed. Although it had a little damage on the left ear.....she was a clovis about 3.50 inches long. I have been hunting artifacts for about 40 years and this is the third one I have ever found. Although the ear had a little damage both flutes were perfect. I am sure there are some people out that have found many but for me it is one of those points of a life time. Beutiful material too. The other two were found in north west alabama near pickwick lake. The one I have in a safety deposit box is right at 4 inches long and it is perfect with zero damage. So watching your videos brings back memories. Some people have drug addictions or alcohol addictions.....my addition is crappie fishing and hunting artifacts. My nemesis now is finding a whole and complete cell. I have found dozens of celts over the years but still haven't found one that is perfect.
I always thought on some of those crude points is when kids were practicing their knapping skills. I'm sure not all natives were good Knapper's though.
Clegg. Your videos are the best and very informational! How many shovels have you broken over the years (handles)? The first thing I do when I buy a new shovel is put 1 or 2 clamps around where the shovel fits onto the handle. I think it helps and extends the "shovel's life".
I hunt fields and I would have to walk at least five miles to find that many artifacts! I might have to give sifting a try up here on the Muskingum River
Pretty darn good day you had on the mighty Ohio. Nice artifacts! 👍 I see you were working the shady spots as much as possible lol. That's where I'd be for sure. Next week we'll all be camped out in the AC!! GREAT vid, excellent demonstration with the scraper. Did you determine anything on the cylindrical hard stone? gl/hh.
Much Appreciated! Yeah, over on the Ohio side, I would have been in direct sun. It was smoothed on two sides. I’ve found a couple others the same that had chipped ends , like used as a small pestle. Maybe they had a few extras and didn’t use it yet. Or another purpose, but hard to say
That scraping blade looked great for scraping hides also back in the day, possibly ??😊 Awesome video i lived on the Ohio 4 yrs. Would love to try what you are doing.
@@cleggsadventures where abouts are you? I'm above New Richmond, Ohio. I would love to try what you are doing. There are so many arrowheads found here already but never seen your method.🤙
just wanted to let you know you are a rock star no pun intended we live on the Ohio river as well in troy Indiana within site of the crib mound and have been hunting and finding artifacts for generations it is neat to see someone has put a science to what we do if you ever get up this way stop in and say hi.
@@Aceofdusk Much Appreciated! Yeah, for sure. I lay the repellent on thick whenever I have to walk through any kind of grass and weeds. My friend caught Lyme disease last month, so I’m extra careful about that
Much Appreciated! Yeah I know, I don’t have control of where or how many midroll ads they stick in. I guess they have to put em’ in there, otherwise there’d probably be no youtube. Kinds like TV does.
Hi Cleggs! I've noticed your sifting box has gone through some iterations; any chance on a video describing the current build and what you have learned through experience since you're older sifter box DIY vids?
@@cleggsadventures Gotcha, thanks mate. I just noticed this one has less holes etc; simple sometimes is just as good as overengineering; thanks for the reply!
Love how you show all the steps. Not just turning on the camera when you find one. Your demonstration of the scraper and how well it still works was real living history.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking seems a little fishy., Almost like I don't know he put them in there.

That spot is amazing!! Your technique is on point(s) as well lol!!
Much Appreciated! This whole stretch of beach is like this, just some areas have so much mud, it’s hard to get to
If I found as many points as this guy just by digging & sifting random spots I would never quit looking for them.
I’m right here guy.👍 It’s not random, there’s a plan. If I search random, it’s hit or miss.
Me too. But me an you both know 😂

I love that bark scraper!
Much Appreciated !
That one long smooth stone looks like possibly a celt stone.
It’s made of sandstone, so not sure
Awesome video !
Much Appreciated Jeremiah
Nice video Scott. Great artifacts.I give you credit for putting up with Rocky.Someone has to be his friend I guess. Peace
Much Appreciated! Yeah, he’s been around a long time, he gets on me just as much. But he’s cool
Just got a kayak, now i can hit a few more spots on the Ohio river here by Louisville. Learned a lot from your videos.
Yeah, almost need a kayak to get into places.
Great video ❤
Very Much Appreciated
MAN'S GOT A PASSION AND IT'S ARROWHEADS !! 😅
@@indiosveritas Right On!👍
The polished stone was worked, it's likely a skinny celt.
It wasn’t sharp, but I’m sure it was something similar
They made what's been called picks, which as far as I know we're an axe that was ceremonial in context.
❤ the south Ohio accent. Being from southeast Cincinnati, you remind me of my uncles. 🤘🏻Rock on.
I always thought on some of those crude points is when kids were practicing their knapping skills. I'm sure not all natives were good Knapper's though.
Yeah, I’m sure not everyone had those skills.
Clegg. Your videos are the best and very informational! How many shovels have you broken over the years (handles)? The first thing I do when I buy a new shovel is put 1 or 2 clamps around where the shovel fits onto the handle. I think it helps and extends the "shovel's life".
Much Appreciated! I get the fiberglass ones, haven’t broken one of those yet. They usually just get thin from sanding until a hole wears through
Amazing
Much Appreciated Kevin
I’ve been waiting for a new video
I hunt fields and I would have to walk at least five miles to find that many artifacts! I might have to give sifting a try up here on the Muskingum River
Search right below the fields at the water’s edge. Down to the base layer
Good stuff
Much Appreciated Cody
Pretty darn good day you had on the mighty Ohio. Nice artifacts! 👍 I see you were working the shady spots as much as possible lol. That's where I'd be for sure. Next week we'll all be camped out in the AC!! GREAT vid, excellent demonstration with the scraper. Did you determine anything on the cylindrical hard stone? gl/hh.
Much Appreciated! Yeah, over on the Ohio side, I would have been in direct sun. It was smoothed on two sides. I’ve found a couple others the same that had chipped ends , like used as a small pestle. Maybe they had a few extras and didn’t use it yet. Or another purpose, but hard to say
That scraping blade looked great for scraping hides also back in the day, possibly ??😊 Awesome video i lived on the Ohio 4 yrs. Would love to try what you are doing.
Yeah, it probably had several uses. Someone suggested scaling fish also
@@cleggsadventures where abouts are you? I'm above New Richmond, Ohio. I would love to try what you are doing. There are so many arrowheads found here already but never seen your method.🤙
@@karenwhaley8635 I’m in WV near the northern panhandle
just wanted to let you know you are a rock star no pun intended we live on the Ohio river as well in troy Indiana within site of the crib mound and have been hunting and finding artifacts for generations it is neat to see someone has put a science to what we do if you ever get up this way stop in and say hi.
@@jeremyramsey3733 Very Much Appreciated Jeremy
Good stuff sir
Much Appreciated
Watch for Ticks out there Clegg, sending love from PA!
@@Aceofdusk Much Appreciated! Yeah, for sure. I lay the repellent on thick whenever I have to walk through any kind of grass and weeds. My friend caught Lyme disease last month, so I’m extra careful about that
Not a bad way to spend a day
Was hot but nice
Great video as usual!
(…but GD, more commercials than the Super Bowl!)
Much Appreciated! Yeah I know, I don’t have control of where or how many midroll ads they stick in. I guess they have to put em’ in there, otherwise there’d probably be no youtube. Kinds like TV does.
@@cleggsadventures yeah, I guess I should really say congratulations!
It’s a minor inconvenience at most- they’re easy enough to skip😉
Yeah and then I saw the karate kid sifting for arrowheads, sht was crazy
I was using it the “Crane Technique”. When done properly, No Can Defend
The one you found at 25 min in looks prehistoric
They’re all prehistoric. Before 1492 there’s no written history here
Hi Cleggs! I've noticed your sifting box has gone through some iterations; any chance on a video describing the current build and what you have learned through experience since you're older sifter box DIY vids?
It’s the only video I have, I just built a new one the same way. I couldn’t improve on it.
@@cleggsadventures Gotcha, thanks mate. I just noticed this one has less holes etc; simple sometimes is just as good as overengineering; thanks for the reply!
The Donnie Baker of arrowhead hunting 😃♥
So many people have said this over the past few years. I had to look the guy up.
