Thank you so much. I never want to offend anyone.....but these days people are far too sensitive.....I deeply appreciate you watching and supporting me. ❤️
Growing up in the mountains where the Apache roamed, my sister and I found arrowheads and pot shards all over. We were with our father in a cave when he found a woven sandal sole, which I still have. I know exactly what you mean about feeling the energy from the people who made these artifacts. I loved this video and I appreciate how you honor and cherish these pieces…🤎💛🧡🩶🖤🤍…🥰🥰🥰
I enjoyed this content. I have a rock that seems to be some sort of a grinding stone, found at a construction site. It is smooth, fits in the hand perfectly and it seems miraculous to have survived!
What an intriguing field of study! To think you could find something thousands of years old just laying on the ground, waiting for you to touch and appreciate it! We feel your passion!😃😃😃
Jason,as a keeper of artifacts,there is no other feeling like it in the world picking up a piece knowing that the last one to touch it,gave so much to us.love your collection!
My brother owns property along a creek. He put a garden in down by the creek and found Indian artifacts. Every time we go to his house, we all go on a hunt. I kept picking up rocks…lol. He has a huge cabinet filed with his finds. I did finally find one where I feed deer at my house. I guess they dug it up digging in the area. I sent a pic to my brother and he said, that’s an arrowhead. Funny that I have spent hours at his house looking and finally find one at my house. I was so excited. I live on 3 acres of land that is only developed near the house so I feel like it is authentic. Enjoyed hearing about your collection. Thanks for sharing.
Love the box and boy did I enjoy the treasures inside. Fascinating! Always love the finding from Indians. I feel in so many ways they were so ahead of use. They chose to live from the earth. It does provide all we need. I have always believed that nature is a wonderus beautiful gift to us all and all we need is to just look. Jason, I would love if you want to share even more videos like this. You are such a treasure, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend full of those you love and doing things you love. 😘💋
MARIA!!!!!!!! AGAIN!!! LOVE YOU.... YOURS IS THE FINALLY COMMENT FOR THE NIGHT..... GOD SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST..... THANK YOU MY FRIEND. GOODNIGHT 🙏💖✨️
What an amazing collection Jason, having grown up with archeologist mother, obsidian flints , chirts and adzes were part of my life- thank you for showing us yours ❤️
I have a Silver Dish, lined with a Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing, but they didn’t want it to fall out, so it’s filled with a plastic, covering the Hallmarks! I love Antiques, regardless! You’re saving our History! Thank You!
What an impressive collection! 🤩 I am simply in awe of such pieces! 😮What you have stored in this beautiful Victorian jewelry box can only be described as a national if not international treasure! 💘Because it is nothing other than human history in its purest form! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us these wonderful pieces!❤❤❤😘😘😘
So fascinating Jason! I went and read up on prehistoric peoples of Ohio after seeing your artifacts. I never thought that the land was peopled so many thousands of years ago. I have read about Stonehenge and caves of Lascaux and thought only of ancient peoples living far away. It is somehow comforting to know we have our own ancient history here in America.
It is so comforting to know that we are connected to these ancestors!! I agree! Look up the serpent mound in Ohio...... i drove 5 hours to see it last year.... IT CHANGED MY LIFE....I CRIED AS SOON AS I LAID EYES ON IT.
Dear Jason,hello (privet) from Russia! Incredible video! You're the best again!🎉 I have read a lot of books about the Indians of North America, this literature was very popular in the Soviet Union. I still use some Indian techniques for myself)). These tools are incredible, they really have preserved the energy, spirit and history. You are very pleased with this video! The Victorian jewelry box also deserves respect! .. and I love you because I do ❤
Thank you Jason❤ I think my brain expanded, word I have never heard like selt or Churt who knew. I have always loved rocks so when my daughter was little or with my grand kids I would say find me a rock. Lol so what happened my daughter collects rocks and huge fossils. What a treat this box is❤
WOW Jason, The knowledge of the stones to use, cut and set is amazing. Two look like a grinding stones. Thanks for sharing your collection and knowledge. I learn something in every video. ❤ U Sue
This was special for me. I have always felt such a connection with Native American artifacts and these amazing ancestors of ours. When you speak about these artifacts I feel like we are having sacred time in a way. This energy is what I need to keep me sane in this plastic, disposable world. Thanks for taking me into my inner light by expressing yours. I could feel the energy vicariously as you were touching each piece. Thanks for being you Jason. I mean it, you matter so much to me and this world❤❤❤
I can hardly contain my excitement! My dad was a commercial roofer for 25 years. For those flat roofs, they put river rock on them (forget the reason why)… he found tons over the years! he has an old Folgers tin full of artifacts somewhere! I’ve loved these since I was a kid.
This video actually made me cry when I got to thinking about dad’s collection. In a way it’s the accumulation of many tiny treasures, from of many years of hard work, providing for his family in the blazing summer heat. Ugh I’m so emotional but thank you for reminding me of this.
Thanks for showing, Jason. We hunted fields and river bottoms. Watauga, Nolichucky, South Holston, Clinch. Also, all the lake bottoms around East, TN. Cherokee, Boone, Norris, Douglas, to name a few.
Thankyou for sharing this I am glad you have them because you give the collection the respect it deserves It would have been interesting to be able to map out the areas they were found at but it is enough to know that they are safe with you Thankyou again
Remarkable video of your historical relics collection, absolutely fascinating clue about how the people lived✨️🧡✨️ Thank you for showing and sharing with us ✨️🧡✨️
Thank you for sharing Jason! I actually remember telling my kindergarten teacher that I wanted to be an archeologist! Had fun as a kid hunting for fossils in Rocky River reservation in Ohio. Love you Jason❤
Look at the shine on that celt! Hours upon hours upon hours of work on that hardstone. It's beautiful. I have so many edits, but I'm just gonna say this real quick- yes, a blunt.
@jasonadams8633 I'm really sorry that you've been experiencing so much negativity out here on these RUclips streets. I guess i haven't read enough of your comments to come across it yet, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've found you to be highly informed on the topics you present. If the artifact game was your main gig, I have no doubt that you would be as knowledgeable and adept with it as you are with jewelry.
Hey! My father just gave me a picture frame. With some of his arrow head finds. glued in it. We use to stop out in the country. at abandoned homes, old dump grounds. Old bottles,....! 50 yrs. Ago, that was our old finds! Love you!!!
I LOVE that story! So cool! Keep them all.. cherish them and these memories 💖

Fantastic collection Jason ! Love the variety and how most are large and unbroken. My small collection is from my Mom's family farm in Medina County along the Black River. I think there was an encampment there from the variety. Love your collection! My best to You, Jeremy and special hugs to your Mom.
Jason your video was so inspirational and I love your pieces!! Thank you 💙 My late father collected rocks from point pinole in the bay area. I picked one to keep. Your video made me really inspect it further and i'm pretty sure it was a native tool! Google lens is saying it's libyan desert glass. But I know that we can't trust google lol it's a cloudy glass, something or other. But has very strong energy like you said every time I pick it up! Definitely a tool after seeing all of your artifacts! So cool!
❤ I've been waiting for this video ❤ wonderful collection ❤️ I can't wait to see more of your collections ❤ I do have a question.. precious or semi-precious stones ever used in native implements?
Awesome! The black box intrigues me. I have family portraits where the frame looks the same as your box. Is it like a cinnabar type material? Thanks for show and tell!
Hi Jason, Australia here and enjoy your information about jewellery......stones are so beautiful......I will use Indigenous as a descriptive as we use it in Australia......these artifacts are so fascinating.....but here we cannot recover without permission from Govt Depts and local clan groups as there may be sacred objects/significant cultural areas/etc that need to be identified and surveyed with permission from Elders.......Does this apply in the USA or are artifacts collected in the field go to private collections without archeological identification.There seem to be many Indigenous groups in the Ohio area.....do they have significant identifiers for each group regarding these artifacts ...Thanks for your help💛
We call them native American Indians. Respectfully! As to the tools we have no regulations which i 100% agree with. Field finds are usually not grave related. Plus on private ground they are owned legally by the land owner. Can you imagine musuems if every artifact from every part of the world was repatriated..... we would learn so little of other cultures. 💖♥️💜
I have a hammer head and a few arrowheads from my grandfather's farm in Lancaster County Pa. It's off of the Welsh Mountain near White Horse - that who area has a gold mine of Indian artifacts , when my grandfather or uncle would plow the would find many arrowheads and other instruments
You mention that these are thousands of years old but what kind of point in history would they be? Are we talking the Stone Age. Apologies Jason for my ignorance but kind of know what was being used as weapons and hunting aids in the UK but have no idea about native indian history. It is fascinating and beautiful. You are a very knowledgeable and gifted person 😊
Pretty sure that patina on your dovetail is the result of having spent a good amount of time in water. I'm no pro, so feel free to correct me if you know that is not the case, but I'm fairly confident.
@jasonadams8633 I think my experience exceeds my expertise. I'm from Oklahoma, and I've hunted artifacts for basically my entire life. Nobody ever talked material aside from flint, quartz, and maybe petrified wood. We don't have the same resources down here that you guys have around the Tri- State area. And we don't find nearly as much hardstone. I spent a week in Indiana a few years ago, hunting with somebody similar to the friend you spoke of that basically "knows all the things" when it comes to artifacts in your general area. Your pieces looked familiar in that respect and listening to you talk about them brought back a lot of memories. I think the material you suggested the blunt to be is often found to have a bullseye within the stone, resulting in some really beautiful pieces. At least if I'm remembering correctly. I think you said it was hornstone???
@jasonadams8633 and I'm gonna try to shut up after , I have to correct myself first, or it'll drive me crazy 😂 I said we don't have near as much hardstone, but we don't have hardstone at all. We also don't have the volume of finds that come out of that area, especially from the mound builders. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, even Missouri. It is almost literally mind-blowing, not only the quality (outstanding) but the sheer quantity! Like, how?! There's so very many outstandingly beautiful finds and tons and tons of hardstone perfection. I'm sure you've seen the dinner plate sized preforms, maybe even 2 or 3 piece cache of them? Each flawlessy worked into their more practical first phase. You don't find that here either. Most of the pieces found here are also many thousands of years younger than the pieces in your collection, though definitely not all because both Clovis, as well as Folsom points, have been found in Oklahoma
❤❤❤❤❤Love it and you!!!❤❤❤❤❤Love to see more!!❤❤❤❤❤Thank you for sharing!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I enjoyed this content. I have a rock that seems to be some sort of a grinding stone, found at a construction site. It is smooth, fits in the hand perfectly and it seems miraculous to have survived!
That's so cool! I'm always amazed by what people find! If it fits in the hand.....its likely a tool!!!!!!
WE HAD FOUND ARROWHEADS WHEN I WAS YOUNG . LOVE THIS SHOW
Thank you Ruth
What an intriguing field of study! To think you could find something thousands of years old just laying on the ground, waiting for you to touch and appreciate it! We feel your passion!😃😃😃
It is a truly amazing hobby to be able to find pieces of history like that. You can feel the energy when you hold these ancient pieces.

Hi. Great question! Always semi precious! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Isn't it amazing that God gave us what we needed and the knowledge of how to it to survive from the earliest to us now.
Awesome! The black box intrigues me. I have family portraits where the frame looks the same as your box. Is it like a cinnabar type material? Thanks for show and tell!

You are a very knowledgeable and gifted person 😊
Hello. Not sure how to describe the time periods but most implements in that collection are between 9000 and 3000 years old as i stated.
Outstanding!! If you ever do a Native American show let me know. I have a bunch you can use.
Thank you! I'm always looking for more treasures, maybe we can work together! Love ya Nate!
Pretty sure that patina on your dovetail is the result of having spent a good amount of time in water. I'm no pro, so feel free to correct me if you know that is not the case, but I'm fairly confident.
You’re always welcome to share your expertise! Thanks for watching 😊 I'm fairly certain you are correct..... it's got that smooth finish and stain
@jasonadams8633 I think my experience exceeds my expertise. I'm from Oklahoma, and I've hunted artifacts for basically my entire life. Nobody ever talked material aside from flint, quartz, and maybe petrified wood. We don't have the same resources down here that you guys have around the Tri- State area. And we don't find nearly as much hardstone. I spent a week in Indiana a few years ago, hunting with somebody similar to the friend you spoke of that basically "knows all the things" when it comes to artifacts in your general area. Your pieces looked familiar in that respect and listening to you talk about them brought back a lot of memories. I think the material you suggested the blunt to be is often found to have a bullseye within the stone, resulting in some really beautiful pieces. At least if I'm remembering correctly. I think you said it was hornstone???
@jasonadams8633 I actually have a box full of material from around there, including that smooth piece that we have no name for.
@jasonadams8633 and I'm gonna try to shut up after , I have to correct myself first, or it'll drive me crazy 😂 I said we don't have near as much hardstone, but we don't have hardstone at all. We also don't have the volume of finds that come out of that area, especially from the mound builders. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, even Missouri. It is almost literally mind-blowing, not only the quality (outstanding) but the sheer quantity! Like, how?! There's so very many outstandingly beautiful finds and tons and tons of hardstone perfection. I'm sure you've seen the dinner plate sized preforms, maybe even 2 or 3 piece cache of them? Each flawlessy worked into their more practical first phase. You don't find that here either.
Most of the pieces found here are also many thousands of years younger than the pieces in your collection, though definitely not all because both Clovis, as well as Folsom points, have been found in Oklahoma
In that box was that a thread puller ?
I'm not sure
Thanks!
