- What I like so much about tool hunting is the uniqueness and vast array of shapes and designs. In this video I explain some of the things I look for to filter and select what I look at.
Amazing how you find hundreds of "artifacts" and no arrowheads! I need to take a wheelbarrow down to any creek and fill it up with "artifacts"! Thanks for all the useful "information"!
Got plenty of points, blades, and pottery. Most are in a local museum. They are found in completely different locations, camp sites. Many of these sites are currently pasture or crop land. All the crop land has gone to no till. Now, you can hunt for a whole day and maybe find one good point. These Woodland period tools I am finding in the rivers are plentiful and were made and left there for many generations. At the time of contract, this area was very densely populated. This was not uncommon for highly productive agrarian areas at the time
Hey, I’m finding a ton of these artifacts and tools as well as extraction stones. It’s been a real adventure and a bit surreal putting together what exactly it is that happened and also, burnt stones, tools and of every type u can think of. I’ll say I do have a Theory that it is a site destroyed and or attacked by De soto and his expedition. This stuff and sites have been right under me and around my whole life and I just happened to have some experience that lead me to see these things. There are burials, structures and ceremonially features and remnants of structures. These people were expert masons and also, bioengineers, as I have located a well or basin where they actually diverted the water built in there wall and basin to where it filters thru the rock from stream into a rock lined basin free of any dirt or un blessed water. There are steps they put down into the creek bed going along a ceremonial path which has a blue grey stone with arrow, essentially to lines coming together at point. When I found that and photographed the features ahead the sunlight made an outline of the feature above steps and even the way beirs have grown covering the burial is like the spirits have influenced nature from another dimension to cause it to grow that way so nothing not even small rodents would trample or walk the burial.
@@Bguitarney it's not uncommon to find remnants of camps or villages if you know what you're looking for. It's also not uncommon to find tools that were in or around fires. Thanks for the comment!
Yeah but this is different. It come to my knowledge that what I thought was a wash out drainage ditch about 5-51/2 deep was a mine. Yes I’ve found some things there. A big big stone with an x that also appears to have part of it forming a pointing sign, under that stacked axe heads, laying in amongst that I almost over oooked but is some skinny iron object has a hooked head on it, like on a question mark ?. Much older than 200 yr old barbed wire. Which I had found earlier this year and actually laid it right near. Man it’s some very uncommon stuff that’s come up along with more usual artifacts. It’s pre Columbus band that lived at the settlement and also rocks charred and almost like they were taken apart thrown in a spring fed creek that runs through site. There’s a well or basin they made that is still there and it’s engineered like crazy. Displaying Advanced engineering techniques &:processes. It filter in from creek through rock some how. Rock bottom. And a couple areas were looks like they had tooling and stones they extracted from still in situ. Like they were interrupted everything was just left like they was working and living there and stopped. Some many different stones minerals all in and around. Like you said they knew about the rocks. Like that rock will saw that one and that one will make the cuts. There’s these rocks with perfectly straight cuts that recede into stone and no wider than a razor blade. Wondering what they had knowledge of to have done that sort of precision work. Bring memories of Egyptians and the unusual cuts and things found there and around world. They knew about the rocks, minerals, not just plants and animals. Nature was sacred. And all they needed was abundant they had no need for money trade stuff they found just doing things they enjoyed. They worked at thing and on stuff because it was enjoyable and to for helping others out in their clan and area and ppl could rely on each other and seems was known how important the next person was in the whole clan. I have a theory but I’m not certain still. Man it’d be historically and culturally significant. And that’s why I come to be eating your videos learning what I can.
Rivers, creeks & bodies of water tumble stones in odd fashions developing uneven wear. These type of stones can never be used as comparative studies to actual artifacts. They are water tumbled stones that show no indications of stone tool making industries. Study river tumbled stone and comparative insights. These are not artifacts.

Not only did natives make tools out of river rock, thay actually sought out one's that could be favorable altered to meet their needs! You should know that🤔
Would you be able do a short demonstration showing pecking and grinding?
I have never tried it. I have seen the pecking process demonstrated, it's pretty laborious. Polishing is done with water, sand and a polishing stone.
Thank you again for all the great information!!
Thanks for your comment!
this is insanity ! please stop wasting your time it actually hurts to watch
Very cool. Great information, ty! There are many stones in this video that have 4 to 6 animals, and usually an Indian chief. Playing with lighting and angle there’s a lot more to each piece!Watching this helped me get a learnin’!
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge...I have learned a lot...
You would have a field day in the creeks and river here in the mountains of eastern KY
Kentucky is very rich in artifacts! The Ohio River is also a great place to hunt.
Love the pointer, it helps me understand things better. Question, can I send you a couple photos of something I found hiking the desert of southwest Utah? I’m pretty sure it’s something?
I love your channel, my son and I are finding so many artifacts in central Idaho, once was a lake or river bed. Finding many 4 ft deep in a crk bank.
If you are following this guy, you are finding a bunch of useless rocks 😂

Hello My Friend... Awesome finds... Hello I think I'll call Him, Ralph... 😊
you know they are sets that make a totem right? if not check out a few ive found
We have 6 pcs exactly like your pc in the upper left corner with the finger indentations. I have 11 hammer stones that have the pecking and ware points, what age are these?
These tools are from an agrarian culture. Most cultures in the east started to transition to an agrarian society in the med to late Archaic period. Could be as old as 4000 BC.
@@brentkuehne435 Thank You
Hi Ralph 👋👋 I think I am seeing a few of Ralph's cousins here in AZ. Also, have a cube/square a little bigger than yours. Was really questioning it until I saw this one. Love the birds, as always, can't quit finding them. The peach one is fantastic! I've been directing a few people from Facebook to your videos to learn. Please look for frogs for me!! Keep up the good work! ✌💞😘
Thanks for the comment!!
