I watch this video just about once a week. This is the best arrowhead hunting video on CZcams. The quality of the finds is ridiculous. Congrats to all those killer pulls.
Congrats on a killer vacation! Those are some finds of a lifetime for sure. The workmanship on those points is just awesome. Really enjoyed watching! Look forward to your next trips.
What a killer place you have there to hunt… I must have watched this video at least 10 times . I am blessed to be able to hunt some really intricate colorful points here in Southern California👍
I watch this video too often, its one of the reasons i finally hit the basin. I always stayed on the left side of the sierras, all this rain we have been getting is almost overwhelming with all the spots to go over. Im sure your thinking the same. From Bakersfield to modoc county and over to northern nevada. Should be a good year, happy hunting and thanks for all the great videos.
I'm telling you u sir are the man ur show is the best. What u find is the closest thing to what I find . I'm from southern idaho. I would honored if I could send you some photos of finds of mine. I found 5 inch elko side notch last week.
That paleo nearly made me cry! What a find!! Interesting that all the pieces appear to be the same material. Nice oily dark grey, and really nice working on them too. What a fantastic place to search!
Your high desert safari was quite a productive vacation ! Bunch of top quality smokers found by everyone . Congrats to all involved . Thanks for the trip share . It was exciting to see all the finds . GL & HH ---Butch
"Rock On"...The famous quote of a radio station very near to my obsidian hunting grounds! GBM, if you ever find yourself close to Utah, my wife and I have a beautiful home here in the mountains about an hour outside of great country, we'd love to host you.
What a killer vacation and what sweet pieces...I am totally bummed out now sitting here watching vids with snow and 20 degrees...glad you at least made it worth my while...LOLAwesome finds fellas !
Slammed it at 2:00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot imagine! Holy cow! I am stunned... and you MUST still be stunned! I re-celebrate the getherings with you guys! Completely winning finds! What a wonderful place God has led you to in that land!
Absolutely an amazing group of finds. I worked a pipeline in the high desert in 2002. Had i known much about artifacts then I would of been worthless as a worker. Congrats on the productive vacation.
Man that was incredible!! One of the best hunting shows hands down! Amazing blades and points coming out from everywhere! I bet you still grin like hell every time you think of that place!! Congrats!! Good luck on the next one!
I've found a few in my backyard. Just pushed up by gophers in Walla Walla Washington. I'd love to pick your brain and show you some of my finds. One is pink!
Kindra Shalynn Haimberger Can’t imagine finding em right out the back door, thanks for taking the time, looking for em has been an obsession for me for the past 30 plus years😎😎😎
@@greatbasinman it's been entertaining the last couple weeks for sure. I found one intact and several pieces and some things I can't quite tell what they are or how they could have gotten here for that matter.
Me too ! Were they decayed off an arrow or a spear, were they a missed shot, were they lost in a pouch and scattered or were they left behinds of a dying tribe of ancients? My God, arrowheads are all over the place in our country and obviously in many other areas of our world. Such wonderful craftsmanship and created from a beautiful material that defies the passing centuries ! Thank you for taking me on the hunt guys.
this is one of the reasons I love living in Oregon so many beautiful things to see discover sometimes you just have to be willing to go out on an adventure to find those things even if it’s off the grid too I guarantee you’ll enjoy every second you’re in Oregon I know I do 🥰
Kawaii Kitten Thanks, well stated, not many vacations can deliver these kind of results, far cry from average but still possible if ya don’t mind being a little uncomfortable 😎😎😎
1:40 Epic - LOL! Surprised I didn't hear that all the way here in Pa! Heh heh! 07:39 O....M.....G! Crazy! Man'O man, I haven't seen a vid of so many killers in quite some time. You guys really cleaned house! Congrats all around. I'll be forwarding this vid to all my artifact hunting buds - they'll be sick (in a good way)!
+David Straub Thanks David, sure was my kind of vacation, surprised ya didn't hear our echo, sound carries along ways. Was sure happy to see my buddy find that big blade!
greatbasinman Yep, that big blade is incredible, but the one that really set me off was the Northern(Wolf Ears) - crazy serrated point with the needle tip ...... G umpty umpth! LOL!!
@@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739 Used to drink MGD , Miller Genuine Draft, finally upgraded to 805, it’s domestic, but has a snobbish west coast arrogance, moderately priced, ya never know what a 12 pack could land ya , at least something made from obsidian 😎😎😎🤣😂🤣
Billy Johnson Thanks, folks who were able to knap obsidian turned out not only functional artifacts, but little pieces of art, it was an awesome trip 😎😎😎
So , where's your token bead ? What a trip , that was some crazy collecting . Don't know which one I liked the best , OH ! All of them . Also , I have a four wheeler and a trailer for 2 . When are we goin' back .
Omg! What state are you hunting in? I am all the way over in Southern Illinois and I actually found a couple of big cores of obsidian on one of the local sites that have had alot of long slivers knapped off of them. This tells me that I have a extremely slim chance of finding a obsidian point but a slim chance is better than no chance at all 😉 thanks for the awesome video and good luck in your ventures.
You think they would let people pay to camp and hunt. I have always wanted to come out that way and hunt obsidian points. Being from Missouri we don't get much black arrowheads here lol.
So what are the black ones called?? I'm still learning. Iv got a little black bird point with like a dove tail on it. I bought it off a friend. I'm in KY and don't believe the black ones are from here!!
David Downtown Brown Thanks for the inquiry, the black material most are made from in this vid is called obsidian, comes straight out of volcanos that belched the material over many areas within the Great Basin. Early indigenous peoples of North America found out early that is was easy to knap into tools and weapons.
greatbasinman , that's cool!! It makes since!! So it is harder for me to tell if they are real , not yours I no yours real Lol!! But iv been buying alot strangers at flea market. Iv got some real nice ones lately. I have a friend that's been doing it for 40 years and he usually looks at them. What I'm trying to say is the black ones are so smooth and perfect that iv come across, they almost look fake. I got one last Sat, that is black bird point and has dove tail, it's perfect. Are they worth more than another bird that is perfect?? U no with the dove tail?
David Downtown Brown Be careful when you’re buying em, lots of variables on what any point is worth, obviously the main one is that it’s anciently authentic, a lot of obsidian points look like they were made yesterday, the older ones will be slightly shinier on one side, results from the elements, usually the side that faces down when ya find it will be the shinier side. I’ve never bought any points but did buy a discoidal, a piece of pottery and a pipe, all from back east. Pretty sure the discoidal and pottery are authentic but the pipe is as phony as a three dollar bill, it was an expensive 700$ lesson. Buyers beware, take care!
greatbasinman think I know exactly where you guys are at here and a couple of your other vids live about 30 miles west I hunt it all the time but a lot of water this year idk if there is any way but get ahold of me next time you guys come up I go out all the time
awesome video and finds!!! what state was this in? i found an obsidian corner tang a few months back in central tx, which is super rare for tx. happy hunting to yall!!
Mark OBrien I do hunt with a small "inner circle" of people, but for the most part am solo, don't meet many people who are as dedicated or crazy as I am!
Haha. Yea, us outdoorsy arrowhead types are all a little different! Ive hunted all my life in different states Ive lived in. I think I was born with rockhound fever. It's hard to find other ppl to go with. And it's fun to go with another person sometimes. I wonder if it's possible to message you another way, too?
To bad that's all b's they didn't leave marks in the dirt. You know this is all bull shit. So did you make all of them or where a couple real finds.???
Say you ever find anything native with etchings on the stone? I found a basalt square stone about 3 x 3 inches with what looks like train tracks and exes carved into it on both sides. Not sure what it was used for. Was found about three feet in the ground.
Looks like the ancient knappers had that point thing down ! Some are like needles ! Beautiful !
Candy Store. Excellent finds!
Thanks for watching, I need to get back there soon😎😎😎
I watch this video just about once a week. This is the best arrowhead hunting video on CZcams. The quality of the finds is ridiculous. Congrats to all those killer pulls.
Thanks for watching and the kind words, on vacation right now, hittin for a couple more days, I’ll post a video in a few days 😎😎😎
Congrats on a killer vacation! Those are some finds of a lifetime for sure. The workmanship on those points is just awesome.
Really enjoyed watching! Look forward to your next trips.
wOw amazing material and types! Great Vacation in deed!!!!!!OHHHH TERRY!!!!!!
I am in love with these Great Basin obsidian points!!
What a fun vacation you had! To me, it would be a dream come true to find anything like that.
I thought I was dreaming when I found a couple of those, makers were masters with obsidian 😎😎😎
What a killer place you have there to hunt… I must have watched this video at least 10 times . I am blessed to be able to hunt some really intricate colorful points here in Southern California👍
Thanks, gotta love the different artifacts from across the country 😎😎😎

Awesome finds! I've often wondered how whole points end up being lost or discarded.

Back for my weekly view. Good God what a site!! That Northern side notch tho..
Thanks Brother, serrations threw me on that Northern, lot of points were serrated there, sure would like to get back there😎😎😎
I'll buy you a beer if you let me go too. Domestic though. I'm not made of money...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏

Quality points guys, I might have to extend the vacation myself. Thanks for the view.
Was wondering what happened to you was your ears burning glad to see you back epic finds as usual congrats.
+Clyde Schroeder
Thanks, glad to be back!

Look at the tip on that one! Holy cow!
Looks like you had a lot of daymakers didn't you? nice finds enjoyed it some of the best points I've seen on the site lately just awesome
Billy Johnson Thanks, folks who were able to knap obsidian turned out not only functional artifacts, but little pieces of art, it was an awesome trip 😎😎😎

Daniel Collins Thanks, most folks go on vacation for some RnR, gotta love a working vacation 😎😎😎
Awsome............
So , where's your token bead ? What a trip , that was some crazy collecting . Don't know which one I liked the best , OH ! All of them . Also , I have a four wheeler and a trailer for 2 . When are we goin' back .
+ALABAMAHEADHUNTER
Thanks Cliff, probably late spring when all the snow melts! Not too many beads around there.
Unreal! That's all I've got.
I recognize that material.

P.s. What kind and where is the water source for that site? Very,very nice finds. Congrats!
Few videos have I seen like this where the hunt is so fabulous. Where did this go friends? Is incredible. Greetings from your friend coyote.
Coyote Arrowhead Hunting Thanks, it was a fabulous vacation, knappers using obsidian sure made fine points 😎😎😎
You think they would let people pay to camp and hunt. I have always wanted to come out that way and hunt obsidian points. Being from Missouri we don't get much black arrowheads here lol.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. Did you just walk out and find that site or did someone put you on it? Hope you can answer.
Paul Max Thanks, water is always the key, where it is, where it was, most of em found where lakes are or used to be, thanks for watching!
I wish I could hit the thumbs up button again
Just moved down here from Alaska and looking to hook up with other people...would love to go hunting with you two it would be fun.
Greg Perry Thanks for taking the time, ya never know, maybe meet up next time we’re there😎😎😎
What a vacation! 😎
👀
where is this location that you find all this🤔
Best I can disclose is west of the Rockies, thanks for watching 😎😎😎
