My friend, I will tell you what that first piece of “burnt clay “is. You found a piece of DAUB. That is something that would have been made out of clay, and I can see the small particles of quartz temper embedded in it. I can also see the shallow depressions that were left by reads or sticks on one side of it. I have a number of pieces of this material and they are what for people would have applied to the outside of a structure or building of some kind. That’s a pretty good size chunk which means it might’ve come from a corner or a recessed area. The odd shape comes from that piece of material being tumbled in a creek over a long period of time which means it could’ve come from a considerable distance of the creek. You will most likely find the revenant of a village at the junction of two tributary such as a large creek and a river . The fact that it has been in a fire means that the structure probably was burned. That’s an important artifact. It means there was a structure somewhere along that creek Bank along time ago. Perhaps there was a village or settlement where the structure and the village itself were burned. Also, on several of the hand rhinestones there are oxide stains. Those stains were probably use to grind up paint pigment, or they came in into contact with iron oxide also known as Ochre. This all sounds to me like there was a late Mississippi settlement somewhere along that tributary
@csluau5913 Yes, the piece is full of crushed quartz and shist. About 50 yards from where I found it. Is what I believe is the foundational remains of a large long house that is on private property. Thanks for the information!
It's amazing how you can make a regular rock into a grinder..I doubt any thing you're finding had ever been touched by a man..Not sure why you think that these tools are so plentiful and laying in the river..I can see a 1000 "grinders" 😲
@thomasdougherty9662 It just doesn't work that way. For every 10,000 stones I scan on any given hunt, only a handful are tools. But with that being said, the sustainability of any given area will dictate the number of artifacts you will find.
I just don't understand why you couldnt have just kept scrolling ? Everyone else's comments are positive . I think it's cool what he does and it's interesting. God bless you and I hope you have a positive encouraging day.
Good stuff. We appreciate you.
Good stuff as usual!😘✌
Glad to see another video. Really enjoy them and hope you are able to continue
Thanks for verifying my sanity,as I find these same tools in Maryland
Believe me, I understand!
Those stones are fantastic!
Thanks for all you share…
You are much appreciated Great channel
Thanks so much !
