Sound is very important

@terrykrall Год назад

I have been walking a tributary creek near the White River near Indianapolis, collecting black walnuts for weeks and today the walnuts have been mostly picked up by me and wildlife so I concentrated on the outcropping along the bank and found a very interesting tool with a right angle on one side and a concave shape on the other, fits in the hand. Maybe used for multiple purposes. I also found a pretty obvious nutting stone or mortar (hoof pestle) with a round shape the size of a golf ball with a concave depth of maybe a quarter inch but it also has dozens of tiny holes pecked into that surface around the larger ground area.

@Nate-bn5kk Год назад

1:31 I'm predicting that this one was used to hold the top of a stick for a bow drill. that would be the perfect size and shape for a bow drill.

Pump the volume next time please.

@lesjones7019 2 года назад

Turn up the volume

@johnpreston9574 Год назад

Hey, I got an idea let’s put out a video with no audio!? Volume is turned all the way up cannot hear a single word you were saying!?

@365headhunter3 2 года назад

The worst thing about this video is that people new to the hobby might actually believe what this guy is saying.

@jayjohnston6912 Год назад

Great video, I appreciate your curiosity of ancient civilization. I also search the woods for artifact and have a small collection. Thanks

@rickykey1175 Год назад

Good eye son they are very old and real I think about how much grit they eat in the Stone very cool

@ericgriffiths2632 9 месяцев назад

Those two little small bowls are painting dishes!! How cool

@Mr_badjoke Год назад

U have a lil kiln tray sir! Yep 👍 gold iron copper & brass buttons. Then mud molds were made & the molten poured into mold many dif molds

@csluau5913 Год назад

I think you have a really neat collection there of Metate’s, pigment, making stones and Mentos, as well as the pestle. I think that triangular one might be a censer.

@Mr_badjoke Год назад

I think those are kilns to the little handheld ones at the end not for nuts. If you look on the side of the dish you'll see a little kinks at bowl lip along side they're slightly tilted for the pour. With the hard firing traces on them yeah but they could have also held raw heavys for prep

@Chief2Moon 6 лет назад

Good going! Not much in this video for anyone to argue about. The second piece you showed may have cracked from being in or close to a fire. That one& the two half dollar sized pieces with depressions, I'd consider to be paint cups, maybe the bigger triangle shaped piece was also a paint bowl or base for breaking/grinding acorns etc. These are good legitimate examples no "smartass" can piss&moan about.

@ericschmuecker5573 5 лет назад

Hi I am a smartass. And you are not. Oh wait a second! You're an idiot. Yes I will push back because this video is absolutely missleading information.

@coyotearrowheadhunting3083 4 года назад

What beautiful Indian artifacts. Where do you find them? I also find very similar to these.

@nathankleinert8123 5 лет назад

that's not residue its the outer layer of the rock I would think

@montezuma7153 3 года назад

the cracked one is a concretion

Do you have any tools made from chert thanks

William, I am liking your vids. Nicely done!

@jpump9236 4 года назад

The one that you weren't able to fit into your hand that had the handle appears that it would be made for a left handed person? The groves/pockets were negative areas made for a positive area of a hand;? I have found very few tools that wouldn't line up right handed; however, being left handed myself I have found there were actually a few left handed Indians. It might be a long shot trying but I'm curious. It was a lot of work work to grind stone w/ stone and I don't see too many wasted efforts where time wasn't utilized efficiently. I don't know if you've tried this but please consider if you haven't already. I would love to see a follow up video if it actually accommodates your left hand in a natural/comfortable position. Incredible videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@MikeL-vu7jo 2 года назад

I have been looking to find an arrow head or a spear point but so far I have found what looks like tools , scrapers , grinders , mortar , mono , I have about a half dozen , probably because the area that I have been searching is near a large body of water so instead of hunting these people were mostly fish and grain eaters , just my thoughts , thanks .

@micheleaustin8328 6 лет назад

Awesome!! I hope to find something like that someday!!😌🏹💕

I recently found one like the last stone, however it is made of churt.

@jonathanfoote2621 3 года назад

I believe some of these tools are from metallurgy , the ancient people we're mining gold, silver, copper, that's why they are burnt and cracking from extreme heat.

@KR-wj5mt 2 года назад

How do I determine if I found a stone of Native American history? I live in California found a rock with what looks like a grinding hole, shallow rounded section.

@tanksoldier9770 6 лет назад

One summer I farmed and I took a bunch of small fields and made them into one large one about 500 acres total when I would hit a rock I would pick them up and at the end of the day I would toss them into a large rock pile many a 100 pounds plus , I did not know at the time that sum of them were grinding bowls ,well a couple of years later l ate at the wig wam in fernley Nevada they have a bunch of old Indian stuff on display ,l then saw many grinding bowls but none as big as I tossed into the rock pile l went back about 20 years later and could not find any of the dozen or so somebody else spotted them and took them away .i found many arrow heads in the brush fields around .this area was in Northern California .i wish I could do it all over again .

@cornholius 5 лет назад

I would double check the pile and turn rocks over. If you need help, let me know!

@Possumn1138 10 лет назад

do you think the first odd piece in this video was used for melting resin and mixing it prior to attaching a point to a shaft?

@WilliamShira 10 лет назад

That makes sense. Thanks for your comment.

@manbunnmcfanypakjustacoolg4965 4 года назад

I found one like that second one you picked up but not quite as well worn. I call it a paint bowl but who knows. I wonder if the v bottoms ones were made to set between the knees.

@mikeryan9521 5 лет назад

@onthehunt9502 5 лет назад

Very interesting video... my grandson Cameron found a similar tool... I'd like to send you a photo... we think it might have been for face paint or crushing herbs for medicinal purposes

I found a set in perfect condition, an old collection. I donated it to Cleveland public high school in Minnesota. It disappeared. Thanks teachers. I didn't know it was worth money.

@jameswosochlo6360 5 лет назад

True, rubbish. I see some of these comments and it amazes me... melting rock? smelting silver? WTF. none of the above or below. the large stone might be something... but what you call pecking is not. none of these rocks except one mentioned are man made. I think you must actually live near a creek and pick up every rock you see and it is something. Watch other videos posted my archaeologists and compare... hopefully it will come clear.

I agree with Eric. Those ARE NOT ARTIFACTS! YOU ARE LYING !

@ChristinaColoradoan 9 лет назад

You have some really unique pieces. I wonder about the one that was heated... It looks as though it's a pour spout to maybe a larger pot? The round little grinding stone is quite fascinating as well. I live in S. Nevada and see all kinds of crazy rock and really have trouble trying to identify whether things somehow occurred naturally or if it's been used or modified by humans. Although, I've been hunting my entire life, until seeing others like you I have never looked outside of the obvious (Arrowheads etc). I did find a huge chopper evidently flaked but made out of the ugliest rock imaginable...

@WilliamShira 9 лет назад

+Christina Coloradoan I was the same way. I still love finding arrowheads. I started identifying these other different type artifacts through matching of similar patterns, like notches, grinding marks, pecking or chipping. In the United States, especially, we have limited the Native Americans and their ancestors to the fine stone craftsmanship using only flint, obsidian, chert, quartz etc... Some collectors are offended to think that they used ugly stones as tools. I don't see them being much deferent then we are in our society. We have nice looking things and we have not so nice looking but very practical things that we use in our everyday life. The Native Americans and their ancestors lived in the stone age. Not only were they experts at crafting these uglier stones into tools but it has proven to be a knowledge in similarity of crafting throughout the United States and even other parts of the world. There is so much I don't know about these ancient people and there is so much that I want to know.

@ChristinaColoradoan 9 лет назад

William Shira I get it. Not everything was beautiful & it wasn't about beauty but survival... The chopper I found is really awesome & I would have never even noticed it if it weren't for sites such as yours... Thank you!

@saelot665 3 года назад

01:24 It's not Indian and it's a clay stamp, an other one, never see this artefact because it's not a cutting tool, it's à spiritual tool, all your stones never used for grinding food, and they are not natural stones, WE have many in North Africa, and I Guess over thé World too, it's a very far old civilisation !

@CalvinsCorner72 8 лет назад

The first stone it looks like a tool used in smelting silver may be? It favors the kind that gold & metal smiths use. Just a hunch. The small rocks with holes look to me like paint pots.

@CXonthefly 4 года назад
