A few years ago I found a spear point in a shallow washout after a heavy rain in my potato field in Melancthon Twp. We are located near the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment south of Georgian bay in southern Ontario. It was identified by the Royal Ontario Musium as being between 8 and 12 thousand years old. It was Onondaga Chert which was sourced in the Niagara area. We were never able to find any scraps or signs of settlement. Probably lost by a hunter. Finds of this type are extremely rare in this area. This artifact is now at the Dufferin County Museum.
Good video! I enjoyed hearing about this Clovis site and the finds made. Back in 1986 I participated in the excavation of the Lamb Clovis site near Corfu Western New York State. I found the base of a Clovis point made out of Vanport chert (Flintridge) from Ohio. The tip of this point had been found a few days earlier and matched up perfectly with the base section I found. I also participated in the Richey Clovis site in Wenatchee Washington state back in 1990. The artifacts there were amazing and quite large. Thanks for sharing this very interesting video. I'm subbing your channel and hope to hear more about this site.
Pete Miller who had a Farm just South and a little bit West of Vicksburg MI had 1,000's of Arrow heads he donated many of them to the Kalamazoo Museum ..
Graham Hancock said the name Clovis did come from that town in NM but the dig site was 12 miles away from there & Clovis was the closest place to buy beer.
The largest pre-Columbian Amerindian burial was/is in Howard Township, MI. A few hundred yards, North of the local elementary school, 300 bodies were "excavated" in the late 1800s. The remains were sold to the University of Michigan and other "high bidders". No one knows of thise site. It's mentioned in some local contemporary newspapers and Cass County historical society has some info. The chief of the volunteer FD in Howard Township is the only public official aware of it. It's on private land. The local tribal government had no interest in this place or seeking repatriation of remains. Likely, as evidence indicates the 300 people were all ritually killed. This site is only about 15 minutes from Notre Dame University. It's about 500m NE of Barron Lake No one cares. It's lost to history.

I hope you use it to hunt with now.

Over the years have found appreciable number of arrowhead and other tool items on our farm east of Vicksburg Michigan.
There are numerous sites in St. Clair County.

I would love to hear more of what you know. And from where. Avid researcher in mid mi
I would never ship a raw product like stone back then to much squaw labor tribal rules.
"What Did Archeologists Find at / on / in This Michigan Farm" -- 'in' would be my last choice.
M 59 by Pontiac lake rd 60 years ago a wolly mammoth 🦣 found.....
Mammoth's are fairly common in southern Mi. One was found between Ann Arbor and Chelsea a couple years ago digging a pipeline.
