TVA Investigator vs Arrowhead Hunters VIDEO

First a little background, 2 men diving in the Tennessee River were approached by a TVA police officer. This isn't their first meeting with this officer, as he has searched both of their boats several times previously. At this point, they all know each other by name.
He asks to see their finds and they initially balk. He then tells them that they don't have any balls. This pisses one of the hunters off so bad that he jumps in the boat with the officer and tells him to take him to a different location where another boat is tied up. He tells the officer he has the points in this boat (but are they really Native American artifacts?)
Volume warning here... And the narrator gets a little annoying but it's a great watch as these hunters bait the hell out of a federal investigator and some archaeologists from an unnamed SEC university with some fake arse arrowheads.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Sorry for the twitter links. Only way I could get these videos to 'share' off of YouTube.

Love hunting points, but it's 10,000$ fine here in Fl to pick them up on public land .
Will post pictures later of the ones I found last week.

I used to be an avid collector about 15 years ago or so, and at that time 'surface hunting' was legal.
Apparently TVA now considers them government property and will charge you with theft of government property if they think they can make a case. Now as long as you keep your mouth shut, there should be no problem.
But it does seem that one of the greatest hobbies/pastimes of many in the south is now illegal.

Where is Part 1?

There is a part one if you look on the users account, but it doesn't really show anything. It is 30 something seconds long... there is no dialogue... and it just shows a few seconds of a boat going down the river.

The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA) makes it illegal to excavate archaeological sites on federal property, which includes TVA land, without a research permit. Although there are no penalties under this act for removing arrowheads that you find on the ground, these artifacts are still considered federal property and you can be charged with Theft of Government Property if found to be in possession of artifacts taken from TVA property. It’s important to understand that artifacts by themselves do not tell us anything about people of the past. We need to know the context of the artifact—where it was found, for example, and what other items were near it—in order for it all to make sense. If you have discovered something that may be an artifact, the best thing to do is leave it in place.

Yeah, I'm from the Florence area, and yes Gunnerford is a fricking shrine to me man. It used to be the place where boys worked on becoming men.
Now they've gone and built some damn state of the art swat team training center out there, and the place is constantly crawling with cops from all over the damn state.
