not a single one of those is an artifact. those are just regular creek rocks and you guys are falling for this dude who is obviously not educated not even the least bit on artifacts.
These are amazing! Will you look at some of the stone videos I have? I'm not as educated as you are on them, and I'd love to get some feedback from you
11:21 I really love those versions. Many people are blind to them if they don’t know what they’re looking for, when I first started, I thought that the images were only on the edges, in a profile. They were so creative.
Been arrowhead hunting for many years and have found many of the same tools in campsites. Lot of people will think they are not but highly worked stone only represents a very small percentage of native American stone tools, these tools however are everywhere there was a dwelling.
N.E. Ga. was so heavily populated by Native Americans, European settlers stayed out of the area until gold was found in Dahlonega in the mid 1800's. The area was called the Indian mountains. Tools are all over the river valleys and lower ridge tops!
We built a small cabin on the farm to hold all the finds. Like your situation, it was taking over the living areas. I moved before the wife put her foot down...lol.
with your finds, have you ever had a rock discharge an energy after you threw it in a 5 gal. bucket? I was sorting my chert, flint, and arrowhead like pieces when I first moved here to Ohio. I was busy sorting late at night and all of a sudden after tossing in some material to the 5 gal bucket an energy broke out my light then a glass I had sitting in the sink in the kitchen. It was a perfect straight line from that bucket to the light then to the sink in the next room. Of course it did not occur to me what had actually happened at that time but thinking back on it, I guess there was some piece of stone that I chucked in that 5 gal bucket that had discharged an energy either sound or some sort of a charge that traveled in a straight line from one side of my home to the other breaking glass in the light and the glass sitting in the sink. I had never had an experience like that before, but with these finds nothing surprises me anylonger. breaking glass could just be sound of the clanking chert or flint and the sound broke the glass. But in a straight line? Tons of other fun stuff that could of also been broken in my studio and kitchen, but I imagine there was a special rock that is lost in that bucket and cache. Just wonderfully interesting to me. Just glad I was not in that line as I was just off to the side still sorting rocks.
Wow! I also collect artifacts, and after I read about the ancient giants, I see the images on the rocks. I thought it was just my imagination , but most of the rocks have the very same image. The ancient giants interacted with indigenous people and I guess the story was passed down from generation to generation. The giants were cannibals. I wish I didn’t have that info in my head. I verified the story with a lady that reads the Bible.
Hi Brent, your videos made me realize I was walking by thousands of artifacts on a daily basis. We have a Rails to Trails and the trail is littered with artifacts. I live is SW Idaho and salmon and steelhead would of been in the nearby river. Camps would have been common. The railroad either cut or filled its way across the landscape. Just like a river.
Just wondered about those bike shaped Stones myself you're right it's so perfect noted people have to make their own tools individually back then or was there troublemakers of the tribes
As you hunt your different sites, have you been able to assemble any matching tool sets? Have come across sets of pottery tools that all match. I figured a cache washed out and dumped the pieces close together. Our state is not very supportive of collecting artifacts, so I don't post videos, but our streams must have been a busy place.
Yes, I often find similar tools in a relatively small area. Not so sure they are caches. I think they used different areas of the stream for different processes, thus different tools.
I'm not even joking you when I say I have a rock just like that shiny one that you first picked up and I live in Massachusetts, if I could send a bloody picture of it to you I would it's insane it's literally the same freaking thing, and also have found quite a few phallic-shaped rocks have a very small one that is perfect it's amazing I wish I could send pictures. I know that sounds terribly strange LOL but it's amazing the stuff that me and my friend have found
Just started artifact hunting, so far I've found a couple axes, a hand axe and a few peck and grind stones. I'm hunting for a bird effigy for my daughter
I have to comment because I don’t want people to think these are artifacts. Have you had anything authenticated? I don’t wanna beat you up, but who taught you about artifacts? You should reach out to some local archaeologists and they can help you distinguish real artifacts from rocks. If you’re gonna upload videos you should at least know what you’re talking about.
Yes, I worked for two years with the staff of our local museum. It's a chronological walk through the history of our county. It starts with the Woodland period/ Mississippian people of our county. This artifact display was my primary focus, and I worked with a number of professionals employed by the museum. I also worked extensively on the Cherokee display, which took us up to the modern period. I can tell you there was some vigorous debate about some artifacts, and as usual, debate about their intended use. A consensus was formed for most artifacts, and where we couldn't agree, we didn't use them.
Brent, I've also been hooked on woodland era tools, I live on the Clinch River in southwest Virginia I happen to live deep in a hollow where an artesian well starts, I was hunting the bigger creeks and recently have started working up some the smaller tributaries that feed the Clinch River and within the past couple weeks I've found so many axes, points , blades, and mortar and pestle that I don't know if I'm in a kill site or village but the amount of tools that I am finding is immense. I desperately need your help and advice. From what I see in your posts I'm also finding effigy's
Brent. Seems like there are quite a few like-minded folks that find similar tools dispersed geographically. It would be helpful to compare and contrast the tools and theories as to how they were used.
@@brentkuehne435 It's a real tragedy we simply don't quite understand enough about these tools...when they were made, how were they made, were they used seasonally, on what were they used for, importantly, why doesn't the scientific community study them? So, so many questions.
My Dad found a piece in Georgia where fresh water meets saltwater- it was very out of place there. Any way you can take a look at it and give your best guess? It’s from the Midway, Georgia area.
I have a few artifacts... some people say there just rocks. So I found a expert at the University of Heidelberg. He showed me how to identify stone age Artifacts. They must show evidence of human manipulation... polishing, pecking...ect. The shape for its intended purpose is obvious. A tool, a weapon ect. Smashing bone to retrieve bone marrow. Net weights. Clubs, grinders. His main point was does it fit its intended purpose...fits your hand ect. I think this is what we also do to identify these artifacts. So if people say "they are just rocks". Then ignore them.
It's not always easy to understand what tools were used for. Over time it is easy to figure out what stones were worked. There are way more tools out there than points!
Feedback on a past video with comments turned off... you have an artifact you call a roller pestle in the video. I think it's actually a musical instrument called a rock gong. We have them in my country. Think of it as part of a Xylophone. Each long stone is laid next to the other long stones and tapped with a mallet of a small stone to make a musical note. Usually there are at least 3 and up. They can also be suspended with rope from a tree like a big wind chime. Try it if you have more than one.
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing and I'm new to your channel I gave you a Sub and also don't forget to check out my latest uploads you don't want to miss good luck and happy hunting 👍
Beautiful Native American stone tools display Thank you for identifying those tools
Happy New Year
Very interesting thanks man happy New Year everybody
I have all of these..Delaware River site that I found. Thanks.
not a single one of those is an artifact. those are just regular creek rocks and you guys are falling for this dude who is obviously not educated not even the least bit on artifacts.
Yep, they are rocks!
Thanks to RUclips anyone can be an expert if enough people believe their misinformation 🤣
I actually watched one and a half videos thinking he was making a joke. Then I started reading comments and thought damn...
Ikr. 😕😕
@@jerrodladner30198 9:53
Great pieces. Happy New Year.
Cool 👍
Happy New Year Brent.
Very cool stuff
You have way way better explanations than most I am a collector tools myself

When I first started I saw the images but I didn't realize the edges were profiles most of the time. I learned that from you and I thank you !!!
Excellent my friend.👍👍

Have you found any red ochre painted rocks?
Cool maker of the tribe I said or did everybody make their own individual tools more often like it's a trait passed on father to son
I have that exact Pestle stone, grooved and all
Interesting artifacts very nice I definitely have been picking up anything that looks worked after finding your channel 👍
Good morning, Brent....I hope my last video; post yesterday, helps you identify ancient stone tools....
How often do you come across left handed pieces? I have a few pieces that have wear patterns for the left hand.
I would say about a third of my finds are lefthanded.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!! 🎄

Thank you for the video! I hope this helps me to better identify tools. I have so many that I thought might be something but wasn’t sure.
Thank you 😊
You're blowing my mind I think you're right about all these pieces because what else would we have had back then
What a beautiful statement Charles Munden

For most cultures, river systems were their life blood . Thanks for the comment.

He lo bạn tốt ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
you cant just turn comments off on all the videos where people tell you that you don't have actual tools.

Thanks for posting these videos. Lots of fascinating info.
Found several bird effigies yesterday and a duck head. Found what I assume to be a stone sledgehammer. I'd love to share my finds with you
Brent. Seems like there are quite a few like-minded folks that find similar tools dispersed geographically. It would be helpful to compare and contrast the tools and theories as to how they were used.
Yep, only about half of what I wind can I say with reasonable certainty what they were used for.

Is there a website where I can send a photo of my finds, to see if they're actually tools ?

This is an outright lie. If you had spoken to an expert or even done an ounce of research you would know otherwise.
I am always on the lookout for tools and I have a hard time deciphering them out!
