Hey Trek Planner, I was the one that sent you the coordinates, I was excited to see that you were able to get to covering it. Hopefully you'll be able to check out some of the other locations that I sent you as well. I would like to point out that I did notify the FAA and the Airport letting them know about this when I discovered it. Anyway glad to see you're continuing to make videos.
What a cool find. That survey marker was placed by my granddad. He was the one responsible for marking and surveying most of the southwest in the 1950's
I'm certain this is not the case but I just got a flash of a Monty Python sketch... 2:36 "Leave em" cut to TP's view into his camera at home the 4th wall is covered with pottery, arrow heads, entire cliff faces with pictograms. 🤣🤣🤣
The sentiment is nice, but I’m sure it will be lost to time now. Would be better collecting it and giving it to some local museum or even a school so teachers can show it to the kids.
We appreciate how thorough you were about that plane wreckage, had it not been already a reported incident, you could have been helping some Family with closure they'd rather not have to endure. We very much enjoy your exploration videos and are always surprised by the wonderful artifacts you uncover and show us!
I used to be a search and rescue pilot. I knew from the thumbnail what that was. Glad you followed up with the NTSB report and discovered no fatalities. And that was a fantastic spear point! You’re a lucky dude. 👍🏼
I'm glad there were no dead bodies there. Thanks for taking the time to look up the information about the crash. I was happy to hear the people in it survived.
@@TheTrekPlanner TrekPlanner, if you haven't already, please see the comment above from @cadomosting3965. He claims to be the one who sent you the photo.
You're a saint for resisting the urge to pocket that beautiful arrowhead. Of course you know (sadly) that someone else will definitely pick it up when next it's found.
I think we are genetically predisposed to admire faceted stonework. Our culture's valuation of gemstones is an an example. In the old days, finding a nice projectile point would have been the equivalent of finding $100 laying on the ground.
If this projectile point isn't in a state park or national park, there is nothing wrong with keeping this artifact, the chance of someone else coming across that artifact is slim to none. People like myself that hunt fields and creeks for these artifacts log where they find them, study them and cherish them! But on the other hand if that's what you choose to do I obviously respect that, awesome find!
Don't give up. They are out there. Look on plateaus and under sage brush bushes. Dry creek beds, on the curves, especially after a good rain. Study the area and find out where the old waterways flowed. They used arrowheads for thousands of years, so they are in layers in the dirt. Overton and Mesquite Nevada is where I have found some, but my father has found many in Utah.
If you live by a river where Indians used to be, you could put a stick at the edge of a river when the water is low but make sure it's strong enough to not get swept away when the river rises. After the river goes back down there should be arrowheads and other items by the stick, I've seen a CZcamsr do this and he actually got some good arrowheads.
I grew up in Provo Utah and my dad took me down to Southern Utah almost every year on family vacation. On our way to Zion one year we stopped in Mount Carmel. In the hills past the golf course we scouted around and found a bunch of pottery and arrowheads. They are definitely out there. 🤠
That "arrowhead" is an atlatl dart point. True arrowheads are typically much smaller. A corner notch point of that type lilely dates to the Middle Archaic period and is probably in the 5,000 to 7,000 years BP age range. A further note on making stone points, most points aren't fluted. That is a feature of certain Paleo era points, most notably Clovis and later Folsom and Cumberland style points. All the same, it was a fascinating find. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure.
It was pretty clear from the crash site that someone had recovered most of the valuable parts of the plane. Some of those parts were clearly cut off and not just damaged in the crash. Many of the cover plates had been unbolted. The engine was nowhere to be found and I did not see anything resembling an instrument cluster there.
My buddy helps out on a homestead in New Mexico and when they find mostly whole arrowheads out in the open like that they bring them to museums so they don't get lost to time
... as much as I've enjoy hiking around areas like this , being 70 - having that drone is a valuable asset , this is stuff we dreamed of years ago ... another great video , thank you ... safe travels ...
Can’t wait brotha! Nothing like a morning exploration hike for the soul. I do morning hikes around my area. I pick out a canyon, mountain base etc and away I go. I’ve found some cool stuff. Early 1900s beer and soda bottles, a spur, old structures but nothing like what you’ve shown us. Thanks for keeping us in that journey. Stay safe
I don’t agree with the whole “leave it where you found it” thing like, why? In 200 years if people find our shit why would I want them to look at it and see, and put it back down. So others can see it? Cmon. Not everything is about us, live in the moment. This is all of our world. Find something, take it. Maybe you’ll take it somewhere else and leave it in a spot where people would never have gotten to see an arrowhead. Just live in the moment.
I love the respect and reverence that you hold in your travels. I know I can always trust your posts in that way. Always interesting, along with the kindness...can't miss!
That arrowhead was fantastic, beautiful! Thank you for following up on the plane crash, it's always nice to hear the whole story on something like that. I wanted to also thank you for your video's....they have encouraged me to "get out there" and explore. While I have 2 very arthritic knees I have been pushing myself to get out and walk in the desert each week. While it may not be a true "hike" it has really made me feel better and less stuck at home. I just walk on flat ground right now but hope to take some longer walks/hikes in the future. Thank you.
Thanks Jeff. That arrowhead WOW!!! I was with you when you saw the plane, my mood dropped too. SO glad no one was hurt. Love how you finished it with the drone footage. Picked me right up again. Thanks 😊
It is weird, I actually walk out through the wilderness for a living (I am a survey archaeologist), yet I find your adventures fascinating. My finds are unexpected, much like that corner-notch projectile point you found. It would be fun to actually have an interesting destination instead of long linear transects. I did find a hatch off of an F-101 one time. I contacted the nearest AF base. They told me with a little embarrassment that stuff does fall off jets from time to time. It was just a rectangle of aluminum, but it had service inspection tags that made identification easy.
I was touched by your empathy approaching the crash site. I’ve seen people explore abandoned plane crashes without acknowledging the tragedy that it stands for! And thank you so much for including your investigation findings, it was great to see the answers to the mystery and to know there were no major injuries!
I try to avoid commenting online about touchy subjects as it hardly ever ends positively or productively, but I just wanted to take a sec to encourage folks who have the urge to pocket artifacts to genuinely take a moment to ask themselves "what is it really benefitting me to take this, other than my ego and pride, and at what cost could taking it affect the native people who have already lost so much?"
That was so fun,😁👍 I can no longer do these type of things due to my back. I had 5 back surgeries that didn't help at all and only made things worse. Thank you very much for spending the time, gas and energy bringing these videos to us. You Rock!
Loved this one. I have family that went down in a small plane in So UT. So glad to know the outcome was good! My family, not so lucky. The desert holds so much history! Thank you! Great video!
I can't get out anymore, so this is awesome. I used to do lots of fun things,exploring, was my favorite, driving,motorcycles, ATVs,old cars,busy doing something ,going places,all of the time.now I walk on a tread mill and watch other people having the time of there lives!!
That arrowhead find was so awesome! The plane crash, not so much. Thank You for the research you did about it. It was nice to know that everyone was okay. Thank You for sharing another exciting adventure, Jeff. 😊
You have the best , clearest, detailed pictures off your cameras ! AWESOME ! Great show. Makes me feel I’m there with you but l would like a lunch break.
I don't know but maybe the crash investigators took the engine for some analysis. Determining it's only problem was running out of fuel might have been hard to determine in the field.
@@rossmacintosh5652. Guages. The plane has guages. Moreover, the NTSB would have found fuel during the investigation. Those guys.are really, really good.
1996 Airplane Crash Site - wow - sooooooooooooo Glad Nobody got Killed ! Very Interesting and Beautiful Area - Stunning Landscape ! Another Adventure done - thank You ! Cheers from Australia !!!!
What a beautiful arrowhead! I'm very glad no one was killed in the forced landing of the little plane. Always interesting to travel with you. I like that you tell folks to leave artifacts where they fnd them. Hopefully, most folks will do that. I also like the research you do after you find the plane.
I absolutely love that you take us along on these expeditions!! My age and arthritic knee would never allow me to go check these sites out on my own, so I am grateful that we can experience everything vicariously!!
There is an ancient site, a quarry on my sister's ranch where spear and arrow heads were made from stone found in that area. I discovered by accident when I noticed there were black stones in the area, black from where they had been burned.. Very little digging uncovered hundreds of flawed examples. By flowed, the stone was being worked and too much of it was chipped away in the process. Like our host, I left everything as I found it.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Thank you for being so respectful with artifacts you find, and leaving them there! Please trade your Oldsmobile in for a Jeep 4x4 or Subaru!
For those of you who are wondering, that report is NTSB#SEA96LA154. I don't know why he's blurring it; those reports are public for a reason. That Colonial Skimmer (registration N248B) took off from Taylor, Arizona on 1996-JUL-12 for just some fun flying. The 42-year-old pilot landed at Gallup, New Mexico for fuel. Despite the fact that his fuel gauge was off, the pilot did not visually check his fuel levels prior to resuming flight. The engine quit due to low fuel at 1,000 feet above Utah and it crashed at a place called Halls Crossing (northeast of Lake Powell just over the border between Arizona and Utah). The report blames the pilot for not checking the fuel using a dipstick, which is incredibly important to do if you think one of the gauges in your 30-year-old plane is malfunctioning. A skimmer is a type of amphibious plane. It is a terribly hideous aircraft. It looks like you asked a child to draw an airplane and they put the engine above the cockpit for no reason then ran out of space on the paper. For those of you wondering why NTSB reports are so slow in coming, this was one of nine airplane crashes that happened on that one day and one of two that was investigated by the Seattle office. The "Hall" in "Halls Crossing" is a man named Charles Hall who established an auto ferry--the only one in Utah. That ferry is not operational at present due to extremely low water levels in Powell.
Where I live in rural Canada when planes crash in the wilderness, they often aren't found for years. The crash sites can be engulfed by the forest cover and not visible from the air.
I think k the cairn of rock with fallen down post looked like a 1800’s vintage government survey marker. Probably 1880-1900. As a surveyor I’ve seen a number of these old markers. The metal post was a section corner. Stamped information tells you where it was on a map. Keep up the good stuff. Scott Mac
I've known many people who died in small aircraft crashes. I myself was in a small airplane crash. No one lost their life, but two of us were pretty injured. I was 7 months pregnant. They saved my baby, who is about to turn 48! You said the pilot reported sudden loss of engine power and my immediate thought was, Yeah, that happens when you run out of fuel. I guess I'm jaded, but it happens more than you would think. So, the first couple minutes when you showed the destroyed aircraft, I was surprised at my strong emotional reaction. You are indeed a strong, concerned, conscientious guy. Much appreciation to you for the way you conduct yourself.
This was an exciting adventure to watch! I was scared that you'd find skeletons or drugs or money 🤣 Thank you for doing the research and letting us know that the pilot and passenger were okay and the cause of the crash.
That was quite an unusual aircraft. (Colonial Aircraft Corp Model C-1 Skimmer). It is classified officially as a sea-plane for landing on water, although I get the sense it was more for lake and shallow waters. The engine and propeller were on a pillar above the centre of the aircraft. The propeller was a pusher, facing backwards. It was first built in the late 40s and the design evolved into the 'Lake Buccaneer' which I think is still made today.
@@TheTrekPlanner Yes, I believe that's true. They are still making derivations, including a six-seater version. I'm guessing they are popular in places where water landings are the best option. Florida and the Keys comes to mind. The Pacific North-West and Canada too I imagine.
I grew up on the North Oregon Coast. One Sunday morning, after a large storm when I was in the 4th grade, I got on my bicycle and road down to the beach. While cruising down the beach road, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. So I jumped off my bike, ditched it in the sand, and proceeded to investigate. As I crested this small dune (like Jeff), the mood changed immediately. It was literally instantaneous shell shock, and I froze in my tracks. Because right there a few feet in front me was a headless corpse. Shirtless, bloated, and its neck stretched out, it looked like a scene out of Jaws. The calm early morning water was lapping up on the beach, and the golden sun rays were breaking through the trees, lighting up the sand, and bang, you got this headless corps of all things laying there dead in the sand. This guy and his girlfriend jumped off a 300ft cliff into rocks and surf below. I have been in weekly therapy ever since. I'm 58 years old now. Lol, okay, I am kidding about the therapy part.
When I was a kid my dad worked as a surveyor. A couple of years ago I stumbled across a marker that he probably placed. I cant say for sure but it was in an area that he did the initial surveying and it was from the correct period of time.
Thanks for your time and the videos. I surmise that the local natives built high fortress like dwellings to escape the Aztec who roamed North Mexico and had no land of their own 1000 years ago.
I wonder why they didn't remove the wreckage? I would think it should be required. Also, I didn't think it looked that old of a wreck? Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your videos.
Cool find though on the plane and its history. I am so glad you put the arrowhead back. I used to be certified with the BLM to work on dig sites being done on BLM land for approved digs with various Universities. The reason people should look but replace back it was found (or "in situ", latin for leave it there as is) because that one little arrowhead can tell a lot of information. Like who. What. Where. And possibly why. 😃
4 miles on the bike and then another 2 miles walking to the location. 1:20, you said you pedaled all the way. Why pedal a heavy electric bike instead of using its battery power? Too steep? I'm puzzled. Cool arrowhead.
Sorry! I should have mentioned I used pedal assist when I was using the bike. I usually use pedal assist on the way to an adventure so I can save all the battery for the way back
Love that you took a moment to show the arrowhead making process, and the surveyor marker! It's so cool to see the Public Land Survey outside the checkerboard of the Midwest!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I love vicariously exploring the desert thru videos. Be safe and thanks for showing your followers an educational and an exciting explore. Suzi from Ohio
I love Desert Drifter and watch a bunch of his stuff. This one drives me crazy with the constant jumping of the film (really noticed it with the jet overhead). May be interesting stuff but that jumping puts me off.
Another great video. I’m glad that there wasn’t any bad news from the plane crash. I did know that there is a database of all plane crashes. Unfortunately I witnessed a small plane crash back in 1991 and helped to retrieve the two passengers on board. Both of them passed away and I knew at the time neither would make it. It has been over 30 years but I still think of it often. The cause of the crash was the same as the one you came upon…ran out of fuel. Anyways thanks for posting all of these.
Great video. The suspense builds to find out what it is. I was thinking it the pic from the email looked like there was an airplane wing, but was kept guessing. Thanks for investigating the actual crash incident. Very nice image of the arrowhead, to study for ourselves. I respect your respect!
If you look on the aft end of the fuselage on a wreck there should be a "data plate" on the aircraft. A key piece of information to track down the airframe and it's history.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I would be interested in learning more about how you find your way to and from a site. Maybe a video?
I'm kinda speechless that those two made it out alive. Kudos to the pilot. Thanks for sharing that with us (except I felt so bad for you), Jeff. Love your vids!
I had to go back rewatch the report about the airplane, as I was confused how it could collide with a TRAIN!? Paid more attention the second time, makes much more sense. 😂
Hey Trek Planner, I was the one that sent you the coordinates, I was excited to see that you were able to get to covering it. Hopefully you'll be able to check out some of the other locations that I sent you as well. I would like to point out that I did notify the FAA and the Airport letting them know about this when I discovered it. Anyway glad to see you're continuing to make videos.
That's so cool! I hope he checks the comments section and see this. Thanks.
So if it collided with a train near the airport, where were the train tracks and airport?
What a cool find. That survey marker was placed by my granddad. He was the one responsible for marking and surveying most of the southwest in the 1950's
Way cool 😎
Really cool.....
Must’ve been a very fun job
@aaronandrews3059, YOU don't even know who YOUR father was let alone YOUR BABY GRANDAD,LOL

There is an ancient site, a quarry on my sister's ranch where spear and arrow heads were made from stone found in that area. I discovered by accident when I noticed there were black stones in the area, black from where they had been burned.. Very little digging uncovered hundreds of flawed examples. By flowed, the stone was being worked and too much of it was chipped away in the process. Like our host, I left everything as I found it.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Thank you for being so respectful with artifacts you find, and leaving them there!
Please trade your Oldsmobile in for a Jeep 4x4 or Subaru!
haha I am in the market for a different car
Thanks for investigating. It's great to know everyone walked away from the crash!
Great work! Glad to know no one passed away in the crash landing. ❤
For those of you who are wondering, that report is NTSB#SEA96LA154. I don't know why he's blurring it; those reports are public for a reason. That Colonial Skimmer (registration N248B) took off from Taylor, Arizona on 1996-JUL-12 for just some fun flying. The 42-year-old pilot landed at Gallup, New Mexico for fuel. Despite the fact that his fuel gauge was off, the pilot did not visually check his fuel levels prior to resuming flight. The engine quit due to low fuel at 1,000 feet above Utah and it crashed at a place called Halls Crossing (northeast of Lake Powell just over the border between Arizona and Utah).
The report blames the pilot for not checking the fuel using a dipstick, which is incredibly important to do if you think one of the gauges in your 30-year-old plane is malfunctioning. A skimmer is a type of amphibious plane. It is a terribly hideous aircraft. It looks like you asked a child to draw an airplane and they put the engine above the cockpit for no reason then ran out of space on the paper.
For those of you wondering why NTSB reports are so slow in coming, this was one of nine airplane crashes that happened on that one day and one of two that was investigated by the Seattle office. The "Hall" in "Halls Crossing" is a man named Charles Hall who established an auto ferry--the only one in Utah. That ferry is not operational at present due to extremely low water levels in Powell.
Where I live in rural Canada when planes crash in the wilderness, they often aren't found for years. The crash sites can be engulfed by the forest cover and not visible from the air.
I think k the cairn of rock with fallen down post looked like a 1800’s vintage government survey marker. Probably 1880-1900. As a surveyor I’ve seen a number of these old markers. The metal post was a section corner. Stamped information tells you where it was on a map. Keep up the good stuff. Scott Mac
Thank you, Scott!
I've known many people who died in small aircraft crashes. I myself was in a small airplane crash. No one lost their life, but two of us were pretty injured. I was 7 months pregnant. They saved my baby, who is about to turn 48! You said the pilot reported sudden loss of engine power and my immediate thought was, Yeah, that happens when you run out of fuel. I guess I'm jaded, but it happens more than you would think. So, the first couple minutes when you showed the destroyed aircraft, I was surprised at my strong emotional reaction. You are indeed a strong, concerned, conscientious guy. Much appreciation to you for the way you conduct yourself.
This was an exciting adventure to watch! I was scared that you'd find skeletons or drugs or money 🤣 Thank you for doing the research and letting us know that the pilot and passenger were okay and the cause of the crash.
I was worried about seeing something like that too…😬😬 Glad it wasn’t that type of crash!
That was quite an unusual aircraft. (Colonial Aircraft Corp Model C-1 Skimmer). It is classified officially as a sea-plane for landing on water, although I get the sense it was more for lake and shallow waters. The engine and propeller were on a pillar above the centre of the aircraft. The propeller was a pusher, facing backwards. It was first built in the late 40s and the design evolved into the 'Lake Buccaneer' which I think is still made today.
Really fascinating! I read something like less than 50 were made
@@TheTrekPlanner Yes, I believe that's true. They are still making derivations, including a six-seater version. I'm guessing they are popular in places where water landings are the best option. Florida and the Keys comes to mind. The Pacific North-West and Canada too I imagine.
Man, love your channel. The arrow head was speaking to you. Making that was at least 4-6 hours work...precious things under our feet.
Jeff, I am shocked that anyone survived that awful crash, what a nightmare.
I grew up on the North Oregon Coast. One Sunday morning, after a large storm when I was in the 4th grade, I got on my bicycle and road down to the beach. While cruising down the beach road, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. So I jumped off my bike, ditched it in the sand, and proceeded to investigate. As I crested this small dune (like Jeff), the mood changed immediately. It was literally instantaneous shell shock, and I froze in my tracks. Because right there a few feet in front me was a headless corpse. Shirtless, bloated, and its neck stretched out, it looked like a scene out of Jaws. The calm early morning water was lapping up on the beach, and the golden sun rays were breaking through the trees, lighting up the sand, and bang, you got this headless corps of all things laying there dead in the sand. This guy and his girlfriend jumped off a 300ft cliff into rocks and surf below. I have been in weekly therapy ever since. I'm 58 years old now. Lol, okay, I am kidding about the therapy part.
When I was a kid my dad worked as a surveyor. A couple of years ago I stumbled across a marker that he probably placed. I cant say for sure but it was in an area that he did the initial surveying and it was from the correct period of time.
Thanks for your time and the videos.
I surmise that the local natives built high fortress like dwellings to escape the Aztec who roamed North Mexico and had no land of their own 1000 years ago.
I also surmise the Apache and Comanche were so fierce because they had to fight the Aztec and maybe even had Aztec bloodline.
Les Stroud would be proud
What about the red haired giants? Perhaps they were hiding from them. The giants were cannibals.
@@levibryant9024 Survivorman? Like many of us, he got old too!
😊 another great adventure. Loved seeing the arrow head!
I wonder why they didn't remove the wreckage? I would think it should be required. Also, I didn't think it looked that old of a wreck? Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your videos.
Cool find though on the plane and its history. I am so glad you put the arrowhead back. I used to be certified with the BLM to work on dig sites being done on BLM land for approved digs with various Universities. The reason people should look but replace back it was found (or "in situ", latin for leave it there as is) because that one little arrowhead can tell a lot of information. Like who. What. Where. And possibly why. 😃
4 miles on the bike and then another 2 miles walking to the location. 1:20, you said you pedaled all the way. Why pedal a heavy electric bike instead of using its battery power? Too steep? I'm puzzled. Cool arrowhead.
Sorry! I should have mentioned I used pedal assist when I was using the bike. I usually use pedal assist on the way to an adventure so I can save all the battery for the way back
When you find an arrowhead with the tip broke it off the cool thing about it is that was used in a hunt 👍
That is amazing to think about!!
The re are a number of "sayings" in the aviation industry, one of my favorites is: Take-off is optional. Landing is mandatory..
Thanks for the great video! I really enjoy your trips. I'm retired now but watching your videos Helps with my boring life. Keep them coming!
Love that you took a moment to show the arrowhead making process, and the surveyor marker! It's so cool to see the Public Land Survey outside the checkerboard of the Midwest!
I am/was a registered land surveyor for Utah. Went to USU. Now can hardly walk. Thanks again for the video
Glad you checked on the history of the wreck. Good job!
Wow, that was fun! Great find. I'm glad the back story ended up being so much better than expected!
I guessed it was a plane, but damn an ARROW HEAD !! OMG that is a find of a lifetime. What a beautiful specimen too , someone made that.
That arrowhead was amazeballs, bro. I definitely would have kept that or brought it to somewhere that collects them.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I love vicariously exploring the desert thru videos. Be safe and thanks for showing your followers an educational and an exciting explore. Suzi from Ohio
Great video! I like how you included the research you did on the arrowhead and the crash. Well done!
That arrow head is a beautiful color!
I love Desert Drifter and watch a bunch of his stuff. This one drives me crazy with the constant jumping of the film (really noticed it with the jet overhead). May be interesting stuff but that jumping puts me off.
Another great video. I’m glad that there wasn’t any bad news from the plane crash. I did know that there is a database of all plane crashes. Unfortunately I witnessed a small plane crash back in 1991 and helped to retrieve the two passengers on board. Both of them passed away and I knew at the time neither would make it. It has been over 30 years but I still think of it often. The cause of the crash was the same as the one you came upon…ran out of fuel. Anyways thanks for posting all of these.
Vídeo excelente! Muito interessante 🌟
Great video. The suspense builds to find out what it is. I was thinking it the pic from the email looked like there was an airplane wing, but was kept guessing. Thanks for investigating the actual crash incident. Very nice image of the arrowhead, to study for ourselves. I respect your respect!
If you look on the aft end of the fuselage on a wreck there should be a "data plate" on the aircraft. A key piece of information to track down the airframe and it's history.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I would be interested in learning more about how you find your way to and from a site. Maybe a video?
I'm so glad they made it out of that crash. That looked so bad.
Ha! I love the footprints at the beginning!
I'm kinda speechless that those two made it out alive. Kudos to the pilot. Thanks for sharing that with us (except I felt so bad for you), Jeff. Love your vids!
Incredible storytelling and a gift to us viewers. Thank you 😊
Just glad no one was hurt. Nice investigation you did a great job.
I had to go back rewatch the report about the airplane, as I was confused how it could collide with a TRAIN!? Paid more attention the second time, makes much more sense. 😂
