How to Identify Ancient stone Indian artifacts through pecking and grinding 

You have no clue how hematite was shaped . Stop trying to sound like you are some expert. Get s life!

Preach

Yeh its entertaining but i also get embarrassed for the person.

@@michealtorres8598 what the hell u mean embarrassed for the person?? That's stupid

I diddnt read this.

The Indians in California have some Japanese and Pacific Islander genetics. Would be interesting to compare tools

Fitting in your hand has nothing to do with anything . I see this daily on other forums . You have a lot of learning to do clown!

m b. Just because your dick fits your hand doesn't mean it's a tool.

I'm new as well although my entire life I have been intrigued in rock 🪨 formations. I've got a decent collection already and have only been searching a couple months. I need help with identification. This video is great and all but there needs to be a website that I can send pictures to. Any ideas?

@@tannerjudkins3674 make some videos 👋👍💯❤️☺️

Taking artifacts from parks is highly illegal. The fact that you are on here bragging about it shows just how stupid you really are. That being said, i have notified the conservation police in your area . You will lose all of your artifacts . What a way to teach your kid on how to be a piece of shit theif!!

So, do I

Look like tools to me. Example please?

Steve Row , look like tools .

Beth Bartlett he is really not. none of that is worth any money. why? there rocks not points or axes you have never seen any of that bull shit in a muesem or at a artifact show because they are nothing.

they are grinding tools hammer stone and arrow heads... this actually one of his best videos... not any way natural rock formations...

Lol, he has been for a while now you can tell, what gets me is how many people actually believe him

What's your background? I don't think you know $hit with your negative comments. Dr do nothing

An expert is someone from out of town. Twain. I worked in a Kawasaki motorcycle shop as a mechanic. Some models of Kawasaki bikes had badly designed gearboxes. A mechanic at our sister shop told Kawasaki how to fix the problem because he'd had experience with early Yamaha's with the same problem. Kawasaki said no, we have fixed the problem. Well they hadn't and came back and asked how to do it. You would think they'd be experts, but apparently not.

You are high . Lay off the drugs

I also got a rock pile to look through and over a few years found several tools. Five pound nut smasher, three pound scraper, a flat top triangle stone with scrape marks, and a thimble-like object that sits in the left palm (also scraped like hit with needle). My favorite is the scraper as it looks like banded green quartz. The local area has an extinct super volcano and was probably sourced here There must be so many more of these for those who have eyes to see them...

Most people around here in southwest ar think I'm loco...but that's ok ...I enjoy the rich indian history and the blessings of finding indian artifacts

@Jason JenningsRocks. Like the one in your head.

Make a video of them please ✌️🤝😊😎

Me too Jeffrey. I started finding similar stuff digging here in Colorado.

In Washington State as well. I think it was all from a previous civilization that covered the entire globe.

All of his "points" are most likely fake lol

Maybe get kids to photograph and document the items in a discovery book, too. Where and when the objects were found, other artifacts found in the area, etc. Archaeologists or historians might want the info one day and kids could be a part of it. :)

Teach them to show off their fake artifacts

@@redtobertshateshandles LMAO

Stop doing meth

If you found it in the streets, it's more than likely not going to be an artifact

I tried to do the same for some of the irrefutables Ive found and thought they belonged with the local tribe more so than myself but after mentioning it to several of the local natives I found they had no interest whatsoever. Maybe the right person and I will cross paths someday.. until then Ill hang onto them for safe keeping.

Not sure, would love to chat with him and show some items I’ve found. All my artifact groups quickly and vehemently say the items I’m finding are natural and not tools. He seems open minded about ALL stone tools, instead of just knapped stones!

You finds are nothing also . Keep dreaming

No

Susie Tilley My email is wsbillshira@gmail.com. It is not always easy to identify artifacts by a picture but I can look at it and see. Thanks for watching.

+William “theneolithic” Shira they're not easy to identify by photos and are probly just rocks unless this wingnut found it

Hello I need help I have a lot of the same artifacts you have found but I would like to talk to you and see if you can help me identify them

email is shirleyglad073@gmail.com

A stone dildo . Nice huh?

Not all natural, but a huge percentage of these are indeed" geofacts"

Yep some of these people think every damn rock they find is a native artifact.

Jay Clark that is where it is tough. You can provide all the "evidence" in the world but nothing can be proven by anyone at all. All an archaeologist has is "credibility" from their deploma. In the end unless you have photos which can be "photo shopped", video can be "computer generated" a few eye witnesses who can be swayed and a confession from the actor who built the tools that could give a false testimony. The world is littered with these tools and pyramids, you can't forget the pyramids!!! or are they just mountains?

@@roundeye6519 study up.

A large percentage are indeed geofacts

You are babbling now . Just stop !! He has shown a lot of nothing . A few real artifacts , the rest are just rocks!

I truly admire how knowledgeable you are about this! I don’t see that he has answered a lot of questions, so I do hope you can find someone else to ask. But I have hunch you are spot on!! I’m a newbie and am sooo addicted 😉 I have, what I always say, a TON of stones which I have convinced myself of, that they are indeed artifacts, but have been told I’m wrong. I so wish I had someone like you, to look through my milk crates. Im totally ok with being wrong, but still hoping for an expert! 😁

Hi Lisa ... so nice to have a reply ✌❤ I've been in love with archeological artifacts since I was a child ... I remember my first finds like I had uncovered them yesterday ... I've gone on in my life and studied in this area with over 8 years of past secondary education ... but I keep to myself... here in this unassuming area of Canada .... I don't know of any societies or groups ... related to our universities or not ..... that even consider such a pre history here .... so I am alone in my stone adventures lol .... but yes certainly I know a lot about deciphering from a stone and an artifact ... though I'm afraid my hypothesis aren't in alignment to the current paradigm .... I've gathered a lot of examples proving my point but there isn't any body of experts here that would be willing to engage in a conversation about the existence of an advanced civilization in North America that would predate the cataclysmic events of 12 thousand years ago

Sorry lol there is a line that should read post secondary school ... University and college educated in art history as well as anthropology ...archeology and a bit of geology ✌❤

@@pinafrabotta7489 So nice to get a reply from YOU!! And wow wow wow 😮 I’m so impressed! It does make me sad you feel alone with your fascination up there. Come on down! We’ll go artifacting 😊 I had a thing for just ordinary rocks as a kid, starting a “rock club” in 4th grade. I find myself a little embarrassed even thinking about it. We had a big rental house outside Memphis TN. Many little shacks, chicken coops, etc. One for just me and my classmates, bringing a new rock every weekend, to set on the rows of 2x4s. I have no memory of what we talked about 😉, but we’d all go in the house for my mom to make us hot chocolate and buttered toast , lol. Then 40+ years later, a friend here in NE got me addicted to artifacts. She was an artist and had hundreds of arrowheads and points in frames. She lived near an Indian camp, and every year after the fields were plowed in the spring, she continued to find them. I only got to go twice, and only came home with a few tooled stones. I’ve moved away from that area, but I’d love to go again someday.

if they are naturally occurring then not need to even make stone tools right . already made just sitting there for them to use . true skill is in identifying, something you still have not mastered .. keep at it you'll get there

@@jeffvincent4827 What? Sober up and try again pal.

Yes and no. ....certain ones have been used here or there. Its all about whether or not it has been worked or not. It also depends on your area. Some areas that are full of sandstone and such have waaaaay less artifacts left. It really depends on the area. Some areas are littered like here in southwest ohio. Littered woth artifacts. North ga and western S.C. and N.C. are areas where its either hit or miss. You have to dig down to find anything. I have been hunting the areas for 20 years....and ive found half the amount i have in the last 5 yrs in ohio. You also have to have some knowledge of Geology as well in order to know what youre looking at.

@jeffvincent4827 no one masters anything ever.

I have a large collection of stone tools and when you hold them in your hand and feel how they were used there is no question that they have been shaped. The same reoccurring marks and style all fit hands or fingers perfectly. Its usually guys with low self esteem that are always saying "its just a rock" when its so obvious they have been altered for a specific purpose. You don't find these shapes formed by nature. Not only that but I have matched several to items on display at the Museums in my state and have even showed side by side photos and they still won't except they are wrong. I think I will call this "airowhead syndrome".They think arrowheads made themselves without any tools and that's all they needed to survive. A person with this mindset is only interested in bragging about arrowheads they find as if they made them. They completely miss the opportunity to learn what Native American life was really like and what they did besides making arrowheads.

I've got a bridge for you. We you able to get a response or prices?

Dude I know where there are thousands of these, go to your local landscape company and check out the river rocks.... These are not artifacts

What are you confused about?

Do you guys find artifacts in northern California? Nice to see a female who rock hunts I'm 24 but Im curious

@A lone Cockroach I agree.

Get out of your chair and go look outside for once.

The problem is that he’s a noob too, Rebecca. He’s not teaching you anything here. He’s presenting his ideas of what he thinks these items could be, not referencing any real archaeological information or methods for identifying authentic tools/distinguishing tools from geofacts. That is misleading, especially for ‘amateur archaeologists’. Are you okay with false information being spread to fellow amateur archaeologists?

Yeah for a handy

open your eyes

@@TerraDawg2 I assure you almost all of these are nothing more than rocks

​@@bty1471You'll never convince them. SMDH

Noni can show you

It's so much older than they tell us it's preflud

Many probably do come from rivers and creeks along with arrow heads. They end up there due to erosion. Ancient native's built camps along the rivers and creeks and artiacts get exposed from flood erosion and changing environments. Ever seen those round smooth stones used in landscaping? Those rocks come from ancient gravel washes that get buried over time as rivers and creeks change. Masonry businesses dig them up and sell them for landscaping. In Texas, that stone is used everywhere and you wouldnt believe the things Ive found. Petrified wood logs, primitive stone tools, arrow heads, geodes, topaz, citrine, etc. Unfortunately none of the artifacts can be dated or verified because they arent found in their original location and soil layer. They cant be tied to a specific culture either. All you can do is compare it to whats been documented. What is and isnt a stone tool is definitely debatable and you are correct that some things can be the result of natural erosion. The fact that many of us find so much of this in or as a result of water makes it worse. Stare at rocks long enough and it all looks like something... kind of like cloud watching. How do you prove that something is a carving or not? You cant unless you dig it up and document it with a authority on the subject.

I believe he was actually explaining the “distinct, deliberate, methodically crafted “ way in which they were made? I would like anyone who calls these geofacts explain to me how there are countless people all over North America finding finding similar objects? Similar in size, shape and details? Near the end of this video William showed a small rock with a very distinctive shape that he believes could of been used in place of a deer antler for pressure flaking. He mentioned he finds them often. I happened to be holding its twin and I live in Canada. In fact can show you similar examples of every stone he has on display and I have only been collecting for a very short time in a very small area. I feel it is very arrogant of you to make such a statement without ever having any of these tools in your hand. If you had the opportunity to see them up close you would see the detail is there. For someone with experience holding these things it is quite obvious. What truly astounds me is how widely distributed these are and how uniform in size and shape, regardless they are.

@Mark Breland I sent you a message on FB. Hope to hear back from you

@Mark Breland I sent it through FB messenger. It had an arrowhead for the profile pic

@Mark Breland and says works at powerline construction.

@Mark Breland I think I found it. Just sent you a message
