That rock with a finger groove is a polishing stone. The rock with the hole is from a drill point from fire starting or making drill points sharper. You're walking over stone tools. Watch some videos in here of a guy named Brian who specializes in prehistoric rock tools. Great find Dude! Love your excitement.
Nice! I'm in Vale NC. I've got a buddy over off Startown Rd with a farm that borders the South Fork River and Ive found a bunch of stuff there on his land. Happy Huntin'!
Ok I’m new to all this. I’ve always kept a eye out for arrowheads while fishing in rivers and streams but haven’t found one yet. Anyway my question is I see lots of quartz arrow heads were/are they the preferred rock material for point making? Cause up here in New England we have quartz everywhere. Just curious cause while I’m looking for points if I should take a extra second when seeing quartz. Thanks
Every area had different geological offerings as far as workable materials. You can probably find plenty of info on Google about what the natives in your area primarily used. You may even find channels from your area with guys finding stuff. Here in my area it's a lot of quartz, some rhyolite, and some flint. Even though quartz is hard to work, some times that's the only material they had. The rhyolite points I've found were most likely made from material they traded for. Anyway I hope that helps and you're able to find some stuff. Good luck.
@@Carolinaishome think there’s one video of someone looking but not finding no one makes videos of that around Connecticut but maybe I’ll be the 1st one. Now that the snow has melted
Dude. That big piece of quartzite he found was absolute a hafted hatchet blade. Not a mortar. 100%. You’re the one who isn’t learned on Mississippian tool technology, and how they got away from putting grooves in their tools. The small piece of quartz was a hafted pecking stone. He absolutely was finding artifacts, but didn’t know what they were. Not his fault.
This video is 2 years ago but if you'll look on those big rocks there's indian faces on em Indians used to carve all kinds of rock Rock art some the out in they're Tee pees for what nots Look close and I Guarantee you'll start seeing em Promise
I tried to watch yours but there doesn't seem to be any. I'm sure you'll make some soon to show me how to do it. I look forward to seeing some real professional stuff.
@@Carolinaishome My favorite was the "ground dished out" Mortar stone. Absolute nonsense. Dont make up your own artifacts, real ones will be apparent. A couple nice broken ones, but some nonsense in there too.
In my younger years I enjoyed going to various landowners and having permission to dig for arrows. Back in the 50's and 60's most landowners did not require you to stop and let them know you were there. I remember the Reed ranch. He would open the gate in the early morning and close it at night. It was near Coryell Creek. Amazing finds and that site covered 2 acres. Corner tangs, spear points 7 to 10 inches in length with ears.Flint knives and broad heads. Too many to mention. Most of these finds were perfect. Lying there for thousands of years. I don't use the term Native Americans because science have proven there were no humans on the North American Continent. New evidence suggests that the first humans came from across the land bridg (Bering Strait) 23k years ago.
