Thanks much for showing this! I recently found a stone that looked like a drumstick, but had obvious grooves from fingers and shaped smoothly. I live at the base of an old Indian burial mound.
Found a bunch of those of different sizes and kinda stone this week in Northern New Brunswick Canada!! Some ancient looking ones and other more modern versions! Rock on!!
Sorry, but those are all naturally formed commonly occurring stones. If you check the stone-covered beaches of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin you can find several hundred in one day.
These were hammer stones used for fine hammering of other stone tools. They used them to peck away at celts and stones they were forming into tools or pestles. The flat part "neck" was used as the hammering face.
Yes, William is showing tools the Indians used. I have found some very similar. arrowheads, spears, and hunting items may not be found near them. The area where these were found was a gathering of foods area. These items were used to smooth, dig into, peck, or grind foods like nuts, and berries. In these same areas you may find mortar and pestles. Indians ate more than just meat. You don't need a spear to kill a Walnut.
Camp sites are were you would find mortars and pestles/ nutting stones ect. In camp sites you would find obvious signs of habitation, like flint flakes and other debitage. Learn your shit before commenting. This guy obviously knows nothing about artifacts.
I have a bunch of these on sites i inspected up an down the catawba river in the carolinas. 60 miles apart. Chisels, drills, and the best part is they lead me to the projectile points and pottery pieces. It makes it easier to find the more valuable stuff when you can see those notched pieces.
@@dixonoutdoors556 Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. It's so much fun being out in nature. So much to learn and experience. It's takes you to whole new level. It's like an adventure to a treasure hunt. I know Mother will put many more treasures your way. Keep up the great work
Great artifacts and video what is cool about stone tools is they never let the oil from the hands or the hide go its just so amazing these tools are hundreds of years old even thousands of years old. and the way the tool has finger grooves from the owner so it just falls into your hand and hey look closer there are some great effigies on your tools.keep in mind these peoples were incredible artists
These are battle stones. Were attached to a sturdy wooden staff. And yes, very important to the Native culture, a bird effigy. Both form and function. In your tube screenshot. That is a sharpening stone used to make the tools you are showing.
I have a about a hundred I've picked up. they're in my rock garden. but mine are all flint. chart. etc....and although they're river polished you still see knapping
I do not mind people making comments on this channel even if they disagree as long as they are intelligent arguments rather then high-minded remarks and unknowledgeable accusations.
William Shira with all do respect I am 3/4 Native American and I also teach primitive skills flint-knapping heading and the native culture. I am not trying to be mean by no means I'm just trying to get you to understand that what you have here is not know artifacts that is natural stones if you would like to learn more I've been more than willing to help you out and please don't take this the wrong way I'm just trying to help you. Artifacts are very distinctive you can tell where they have been napped , chipped and sometimes even drilled.
William Shira i found a stone exactly like these with actually markings and deep scratches, just cause someone doesnt know exactly what they are looking at or even familiar with it doesnt mean it isnt a native tool of some sort... id imagine natives used all kinds of stones and sticks in ways we arent taught or are familiar with... they even use bones for crying out loud... i find some very odd stones that have clear native markings or designs... deep scratches but can not be identified with common native findings but it doesnt take away from the possibilty that it may have had native significance.
They are birds they're all birds if you look closely you can see the feathers cut into them you got to look under some bright light and stuff but and if you hold it right but they're definitely missing heads and stuff
I’m from Illinois and the Native American artifacts we find have teepee’s carved in them.. look at your stones I bet you find them carven in them . Some are so warn you can barely make it out but there there short lines on top longer lines on the bottom making teepee .. pretty cool stuff man .
Joseph Norris hey I'm sure you're looking at that green stone I'm from Illinois as well do you know what kind of stone that is I live up near Dixon Illinois
Illinois natives didnt even know what a tee pee was. Plains indians used them for shelter. I hope the next drug epidemic doesnt involve the drugs you two are on.
Great video.. Dude I would love for you to see my collection.. I believe I stumbled upon an old settlement and most of my artifacts resemble the style and grade of which you have discovered. have you had them looked at by archeologists?
I think these are artifacts and perhaps I realize their use.... Are these atl spurs or weights for atlatl chucking mechanism? If so, these would be for a much larger model requiring a much larger atlatl and person to implement it... just a thought. Cheers, do not let anyone talk down to you in anything you find conviction!
Don't believe the naysayers, chaos by definition produces randomness not a topology of repeatable patterns and shapes, accepting round pebbles obviously... also if 'random breakage happens often, if at all, why is everything smooth and water eroded....
I've found several of these on the East Coast in recent years. Your idea about "pecking stones " seems right to me. Similar designs made out of softer rock were probably used to crack nuts and acorns, or just pulverize roots. Much or their diet was pretty bland. Sort of like making ancient tortillas.
Is there any way I can email you a couple photos of a few things I’ve found lately? Very enthused but I have no guide to point me in a right direction. Maybe you could look at my photos and help decipher if they’re Indian artifacts? Any help would be awesome love your vids and knowledge!
It's easy to tell artifacts from rocks! This guy and his videos are bullshit! You should look up real artifacts! Why email a tweaker about his fake artifacts?
Wow it's unbelievable how many people think these are worked pieces. For determination of a tool we use guidelines, signs of working, none of the stones show these characteristics. Also the so called notch is no indication for a tool. This is a pretty common thing on natural formed stones. Go to a museum and look at some real native american tools or other stone age tools. Even without any real knowledge the differences are very clear. Found many artifacts and seen lot's of native american hard stone stools on the web an none show any resemblance to the pieces in the video. Plz do some research before you start making a educating video like this one. I bet even accepted archaeologists say you're pieces are of natural origin.
I can Identify these tools I find, its not diverse, My people I collect are making arrows. It seems they did grinding, I have no idea what, very small matetes are use, some super ancient. Very fine. Some newer, used much less and That is Matetes, but I do find a lot of finer Mano's.
Who said it was the hardest? Even if it was, you can still break it with the same type of rock, and just because it's resistant to plastic deformation doesn't mean it's the _hardest._ whetstones are a good example here. Novaculite has a mohs hardness of 6.5, equivalent to Rockwell Rc 69 and silicon carbide stones have a mohs hardness of 9-10 while most knife blades are around 5.5 (Rc 59), yet you aren't going to go and use a whetstone to carve wood or as a hammer. Grinding is a good guess as to how they shaped it after using the same type of rock to rough it out. Also, rocks of any type have imperfections and different "purities" so one rock may be harder than one of the same type purely because of their compositional make up
Im in Wa state and I have found dozens of these and hundreds of serpent heads.. cobras and cayman even. In the process of examining them ive noticed over and over the use of finger holds. Sometimes i find and identify them by the finger holds themselves. Then by finding the comfortable spot to hold the artifact, once i find its "handle" for lack of better word. I look at whats left and its usually a reptile head. Its almost like theyre little totems to be held up and shown to others...Ive only found one out of hundreds that fits in the left hand better than the right. This I know to be true ...Whoever they were and they had hands like ours, they were mostly right handed. And in my opinion they could manipulate stone with some form of technology unknown to us in the present.
Natural...No sign of man made alterations...Coming from a guy who's avidly hunted and collected for 20 plus years. Don't take my word for it...Take it to the archeological dept at your local university
Greg - There is a problem with mainstream archeologists. Anyone outside the narrative that they control becomes the target of ad hominem attacks. As a former academician I have experienced this peculiar form of peer pressure controlled by "funding". Our universities are no longer trustworthy. They have been taken over by the enemy of truth.
These stones are perfect for plaining "wood working" on the longest flat edge, and other materials. i have found 1 in the Huron river bed in Michigan next to some pottery scraps and broken arrowheads. the one shown at 5:20 is an oddball but you can still hold it in your hand with the largest flat end to the wood "thumb on top and press down". to be honest im not sure about the smaller ones. my guess is the kids were also working, or "if" found in a river bed just worn down.
I attended a seminar to make acorn meal bread. The native American used tools such as the tools of this video to show how the acorns were cracked by adults and children. First the acorns were chosen from black oak trees and stored by squirrels who wete stalked by the bread makers who stole the stores and cracked and ground the black oak acorns. Once the meal was ground, it had to be rinsed in a basket in running water, then dry the meal in the sun, however the modern method IS to put the meal into a pillow case and run it through the washer snd dryer. The bread recipe of the past was not available, however the delicious bread presented was made from equal parts acorn meal and Bisquick.
Thanks for the video. Good finds. Mine are similar but local archeologists tell me they are all natural. How do you answer these guys? I need some suggestions. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Local archaeologists have more than likely been trained to to exclude out of place artifacts (oopa) and automaticly shoot down anything that they cant explain or deem contradictory to Darwinism. Across the board its immediately discounted. They oppose anything that affirms our makers existence. Through the last 100yrs there has been a conserted effort to suppress the truth.. ie.. smithsonian and giants/ mound builders.. and north american occupati9n previous to the last ice age... egyptian relics found across the entire US. I personaly have a hand held cobra effigy found in Wa st. ....you just opened one of the many proverbial rabbit hole doors my friend. Enter at your own risk. Ignorance to some realities may indeed be bliss. God bless
You should check the deposits of rocks around Tehama County CA before the land becomes apartment buildings, close to Gerber or Corning. Why cave deposite stones need to be in piles in open fields is beyond natural.
Definitely intelligent looking design. I've toured Quarries that sold this kind-of rocks as garden stones. The ground is from the Cretaceous and the pit was 100ft. deep. I think the dinosaurs were hard-wired as they fed from the claw then discarded the last bite into briney estuary where it all sank into the muck and petrified. They were surgeons and sculptors. My blog explains everything. I have a few vids on my channel also. Yes! it was meat. Those rocks are to hard to shape. I tried.
The similar stone i found in river Sava in Evrope on two location on one 8m deep underground.this tipology art is unknown all around the world.interesting is fact that this tipology prehistoric art we allways found concentration on some mikro location not all around or ewrywhere.I thing that this art is older more then 120.000 years.is today unknown.some stone looks like mamouth head.some like mamuth last legs and bounds.
Hey whats happening Great videos! I'm doing research on th e "nutting stones" or fire starters you've got.. would you consider donating them or trading them for an arrowhead from my personal collection? Thanks for your help
At 4:37 The stone you have in your hand represents a thumb, notice the chip at the tip, I have these in large numbers from my find site, my interpretation is that they 'say' non-human thumbed creature, such as neanderthal and the like.
Brett Martin they are mammoth profiles. take one of your rocks look at it in the thumbs down position. there is always the ear eye and trunk. the broad part typically on the the left will be the ear then the ridge will curv down some ridge or trunk lengths vary but most of the time at the end of this ridge it will curl or coil back up . its hard for some to see it but once you do its undeniable. i hope to get a response for a friendly agreement or disagreement on my interpretation. and possibly showing you examples of my finds. it blows my mind how numerous and wide spread this one type of artifact is.
Mammoths have small ears, and are brown in colour, thats my view of it. Btw have you seen my blog? some of the best portable rock art out there. America has got these mammoth artworks, even I have them, many but not all represent elephants though, mammoth has distinct bump on head, and low small ear.
I can dig out some American elephant rocks for you, just so you know they do exists, many above are ambiguous, some look like mammoth motifs others elephant motifs.
Brett Martin i haven't seen your blog but did go to your channel but would definitely check it out. could i email you a couple pictures of the elephant or mammoth stones ive found just for a perspective from someone who knows more than me on the topic. i try and share some of the stuff i find with friends and get so much scepticism or just lack of interest it gets disheartening at times.
Drew Wood, Yes feel free to send me the pictures you have, is best to show each stone from quite a few angles, this way I can get a better understanding of the piece, my blog is eoliths.blogspot.com/ and my email is brettroxmartin@gmail.com
I found one of such shaped stones in Greece notched to a perfect 90 degrees inner shape and i can put it on the edge of a table. Looks like a a semierect penis actually-If i hold it like a pistol and put my "triggerfinger" alongside the "barrel" it ends exactly at my fingertip. The outside of the stone is a bit rounded and there is a mark at the thick part as if used like a hammer. I really would like to date it and have an idea what is the purpose of this thing. Thank´s for the video, gave me some clue. :-)
William Shira im telling you they are profiles of mammoth heads. havent you noticed there is always even if its tiny a mark for the eye and how on some the ridge goin from the broad part down will curl back up on its self like the trunk of an elephant or mamoth. i know i sound crazy as all hell especially to people who dont rock hunt ALOT but ive found hundreds all over the state of iowa some so identical as far as the geometry to them its impossible to be an accident. theres alway the ear the eye and the trunk.
This is the guideline I personally use. Given rocks are everywhere and artifacts are presumed to be uncommon or rare the assumption at first must be that it is not an artifact unless the combined evidence indicates otherwise. An example of combined evidence: Where it was found, what signs and how many are there of human work done on the stone, does it also double as one or more clear to see effigy (usually bird or reptile), hand placement: the real ones fit perfectly. The reason the older stuff is still around is because it's not so obvious or easily identified.
Those are mostly geofacts. Naturally occurring, with natural fractures rounded or smoothed by nature usually in a stream. Learn how to knap and you will have a completely different understanding of what makes a tool and what does not.
@@TylerRayMattersRUAC Sure, but it still looks like what it originally was. If it is fast moving water making contact with lots of other stones it soon is broken into pieces. If it is in slow moving water edges become rounded but likely still remains intact. I have found in the cobble beds on the beaches of California cleavers made for butchering whales or seals that are made of felsite. They still look like a cleaver or hand axe but are rounded on all edges. Its anybodys guess as to how old they are but for all the pounding they have taken in the surf they still resemble what they were made to be. If you know how to knap you will grasp this idea rather quickly.
These are what the people that cant find native artifacts find. "Fits so good in your hand" one day you will find artifacts and upy will stop picking up rocks.
Frank i doubt anything nor anyone could enlighten you since you feel the need to be condescending to total strangers that are having a conversation that you obviously know nothing about, but the real question is... why would we?

Absolutely positively not the artifacts you believe they are. You need to stop speaking from a place of self appointed knowledge. Your comfort explaining yourself as if you know what you were talking about is embarrassing for you.
William i know what your displaying is the real deal .. mainstream archeologist would insist that places such as puma punku were done by aztecs with tools that are the equivalent of my old fisher price tool set!! They are nothing more than false prophets.

These are not a natural-rocks. To my expirence,I would say that there are many signs that indicate,what you have is man made tools not natural. regardless of the negative comments,these are absolutely, magnificent !
I am sorry for you, but these are natural formed stones. Lacking any sign of working. So, just a collection of natural formed stones, with by change have the same form. However, if you are right, where are the other evidences of human occupation, potsherds, pieces of flint, charcoal etc?
Would tool marks exist if artifacts were under water for several (hundreds/thousands) of years? Just curious pertaining to some items I found after some heavy flooding sitting on top of dirt (flooding washed away a lot of topsoil) in an area with a lot of ancient limestone. This place is a man made lake now with rocks for miles, but only in 2 spots are there thousands that look like pre bc arrowheads, drills, scrapers, hand knives, hand axes. Edges are razor sharp still, but tool marks are either an illusion or they are extremely eroded. Pre-clovis shapes on the arrowheads and arrowhead making scraps, thousands of them, near large stones and there are few large stones in this area as a whole so to see 7 or 8, 1square foot 9 inch tall stones in 1 small area is rare in itself. The main question though if they were submerged would there be tool marks I have zero actual knowledge about archeology just a history buff that thinks he found some cool stuff.
Maarten Perdeck I dont thing so.this must be older ritual artefact 120.000 BC. to 1 000.000 BC.on some location is also black woods like 50% fossilizates.
Dan Fen , what about River Rock ? I grew up near a river and the Delta. The rocks , pebbles and even Driftwood ( I know driftwood is soft but you get my point ) are worn smooth by waves and the constant movement of the water. These rocks are so smooth they are almost polished and many are. Wind as well smooths out rocks. Peace : )
Teneis poca imaginacion y ademas afirmais cosas desde vuestra cortedad....lo que ahi ha ocurrido, es esto.- con las corrientes de agua se arrastran arenas y estas alisan las piedras (herramientas) erosionandolas progresivamente a su paso con los miles de años
Do not let this guy misinform you. These are NOT, I repeat, NOT artifacts. Do your research, and after a bit of knowledge gathering, you will be laughing at this guy.

@@garyhashimoto5915 you have no understanding here, a little knowledge is dangerous, and you have little knowledge... chaos does not produce a topology, what has been demonstrated is a topology of shapes, pick a completely random shape, say the shape of a bannana and go find a collection in random stones... then come back here and open your big trap with some actual evidence.........
I think you should talk to your local university archeologist and have them explain how to distinguish man made artifacts from geofacts.What you have show no sign of human use or modification that I could detect. Some wishful thinking and inexperience is on display here.

To all of you people who are literally ignorant in this matter: They are not Native American artifacts, that is true. These are found all around the world. They are pre-diluvian. There is a process to reverse the oxidation, and they become smooth as silk, with wonderful colors, pictures and designs. They are fashioned. If you don't believe it, go find one, and polish it. If you do not want to put in the effort, then shut up, because you do not know what you are talking about.
Just a collection of geofacts known as rocks. Other than the rudimentary shape, there is nothing to see here. Honestly ..... go back to watching clouds.
Thanks much for showing this! I recently found a stone that looked like a drumstick, but had obvious grooves from fingers and shaped smoothly. I live at the base of an old Indian burial mound.

You rock hoarders will make up anything to convince yourselves that these are something more than just rocks. They’re not.
@@albertstutts7474 I think you're right. 5 years ago I apparently didn't know any better. Now I do. Chances are, these are just rocks.

I have some identical artifacts. where r u from?
How can you tell what effigy stones are worth
I find lots of similar tools in the creek we own. Many have a sandy coating that I have to sand off to see them. Is this something you encounter?
They are birds they're all birds if you look closely you can see the feathers cut into them you got to look under some bright light and stuff but and if you hold it right but they're definitely missing heads and stuff
a couple show percussion bulbs where flakes were removed. Possibly cores/platforms

I found a few of these in Colorado River bed
You got to find the side with the notches usually the bottom and the flat side is usually the back but they switch it around sometimes
The medium-sized dark gray one (upper left corner) has markings on it.
They look like ice breakers or ice picks.

In our tool sheds we have dewalt and craftsman, native Americans had sticks and stones
I wish I could report you for being based and your comment would go to heaven for all eternity
Ancient Paleolithic , not Asian Native American
belive it or not i find the some tools all over northen ca. including in the tailing piles at my mining claim which came from up to 100' deep
I totaly believe it... i find them at insane depths.. makes me wonder about those stories of terra-forming and mining by the annunaki
I have the exact same rocks ...Identical shapes .
Those aren't native artifacts. Natural stones. River stones.
You are saying all this bullshit with such a straight face you should have your own show on Fox. You could call it, Willie's Artifakes Roadshow.
Unbelievable how naive they are. Scary really.
Is it possible that we don’t totally understand these tools because they were left here by visitors from other planets or civilizations?
Some guy posted these exact artifacts on a site and people were horrible to him!
They shouldn't have been mean but to call these "artifacts" is ludicrous.
Those were used to bury Jimmy Hoffa
Dude, hhmmmmmmmmm................
I litterally found the exact same rocks and people are saying they’re natural. How are we finding the same things???
Don't believe the naysayers, chaos by definition produces randomness not a topology of repeatable patterns and shapes, accepting round pebbles obviously... also if 'random breakage happens often, if at all, why is everything smooth and water eroded....
J’ai plusieurs de ces artéfacts
I've found several of these on the East Coast in recent years.
Your idea about "pecking stones " seems right to me. Similar designs made out of softer rock were probably used to crack nuts and acorns, or just pulverize roots. Much or their diet was pretty bland. Sort of like making ancient tortillas.

Amazing. How in the world could the natives fashion these stones without something harder than these stones?
Who said it was the hardest? Even if it was, you can still break it with the same type of rock, and just because it's resistant to plastic deformation doesn't mean it's the _hardest._ whetstones are a good example here. Novaculite has a mohs hardness of 6.5, equivalent to Rockwell Rc 69 and silicon carbide stones have a mohs hardness of 9-10 while most knife blades are around 5.5 (Rc 59), yet you aren't going to go and use a whetstone to carve wood or as a hammer.
Grinding is a good guess as to how they shaped it after using the same type of rock to rough it out. Also, rocks of any type have imperfections and different "purities" so one rock may be harder than one of the same type purely because of their compositional make up
Natives didn't fashion these stones. Good Grief
Have you noticed the finger placement on them? Trust me, it comes into play when viewing the story they contain
Im in Wa state and I have found dozens of these and hundreds of serpent heads.. cobras and cayman even. In the process of examining them ive noticed over and over the use of finger holds. Sometimes i find and identify them by the finger holds themselves. Then by finding the comfortable spot to hold the artifact, once i find its "handle" for lack of better word. I look at whats left and its usually a reptile head. Its almost like theyre little totems to be held up and shown to others...Ive only found one out of hundreds that fits in the left hand better than the right. This I know to be true ...Whoever they were and they had hands like ours, they were mostly right handed. And in my opinion they could manipulate stone with some form of technology unknown to us in the present.
@@exposingtheamericanstasitr3579 i have one with a thumb indention. i love putting my thumb in it, closing my eyes and envisioning the original owner.
Are these implements for bludgeoning youtube commenters?
@Michayal Valder u dont know everything dumb fuck
Natural...No sign of man made alterations...Coming from a guy who's avidly hunted and collected for 20 plus years.
Don't take my word for it...Take it to the archeological dept at your local university
Greg - There is a problem with mainstream archeologists. Anyone outside the narrative that they control becomes the target of ad hominem attacks. As a former academician I have experienced this peculiar form of peer pressure controlled by "funding". Our universities are no longer trustworthy. They have been taken over by the enemy of truth.
@Mark Breland I thought so myself but I've seen lots of rock shaped like that in mounds so I left them
Tons of these type stones where im at the river tumbles them smooth makes them look like artifact
He wont because he sells his rocks on ebay. He is a fraud and a loser.
Why, so some condescending jerk can tell him the same thing. Trust me, if an archaeologist doesn't find it it's not an artifact. Morons
These stones are perfect for plaining "wood working" on the longest flat edge, and other materials. i have found 1 in the Huron river bed in Michigan next to some pottery scraps and broken arrowheads. the one shown at 5:20 is an oddball but you can still hold it in your hand with the largest flat end to the wood "thumb on top and press down". to be honest im not sure about the smaller ones. my guess is the kids were also working, or "if" found in a river bed just worn down.
Those are all naturals, didn’t see a tool in the bunch.
I attended a seminar to make acorn meal bread. The native American used tools such as the tools of this video to show how the acorns were cracked by adults and children. First the acorns were chosen from black oak trees and stored by squirrels who wete stalked by the bread makers who stole the stores and cracked and ground the black oak acorns. Once the meal was ground, it had to be rinsed in a basket in running water, then dry the meal in the sun, however the modern method IS to put the meal into a pillow case and run it through the washer snd dryer. The bread recipe of the past was not available, however the delicious bread presented was made from equal parts acorn meal and Bisquick.
Thanks for the video. Good finds. Mine are similar but local archeologists tell me they are all natural.
How do you answer these guys? I need some suggestions. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Local archaeologists have more than likely been trained to to exclude out of place artifacts (oopa) and automaticly shoot down anything that they cant explain or deem contradictory to Darwinism. Across the board its immediately discounted. They oppose anything that affirms our makers existence. Through the last 100yrs there has been a conserted effort to suppress the truth.. ie.. smithsonian and giants/ mound builders.. and north american occupati9n previous to the last ice age... egyptian relics found across the entire US. I personaly have a hand held cobra effigy found in Wa st. ....you just opened one of the many proverbial rabbit hole doors my friend. Enter at your own risk. Ignorance to some realities may indeed be bliss. God bless
none of these are artifacts please educate yourself and stop spreading false information this is SADDD
Jacob Bradenbaugh : how do you know these are not artifacts?
They're all bird and bird parts I find thousands of them you're missing the heads and tails
You should check the deposits of rocks around Tehama County CA before the land becomes apartment buildings, close to Gerber or Corning. Why cave deposite stones need to be in piles in open fields is beyond natural.
Definitely intelligent looking design. I've toured Quarries that sold this kind-of rocks as garden stones. The ground is from the Cretaceous and the pit was 100ft. deep. I think the dinosaurs were hard-wired as they fed from the claw then discarded the last bite into briney estuary where it all sank into the muck and petrified. They were surgeons and sculptors. My blog explains everything. I have a few vids on my channel also. Yes! it was meat. Those rocks are to hard to shape. I tried.
The similar stone i found in river Sava in Evrope on two location on one 8m deep underground.this tipology art is unknown all around the world.interesting is fact that this tipology prehistoric art we allways found concentration on some mikro location not all around or ewrywhere.I thing that this art is older more then 120.000 years.is today unknown.some stone looks like mamouth head.some like mamuth last legs and bounds.
Hey whats happening Great videos! I'm doing research on th e "nutting stones" or fire starters you've got.. would you consider donating them or trading them for an arrowhead from my personal collection? Thanks for your help
I got alot i will give you
At 4:37 The stone you have in your hand represents a thumb, notice the chip at the tip, I have these in large numbers from my find site, my interpretation is that they 'say' non-human thumbed creature, such as neanderthal and the like.
Brett Martin they are mammoth profiles. take one of your rocks look at it in the thumbs down position. there is always the ear eye and trunk. the broad part typically on the the left will be the ear then the ridge will curv down some ridge or trunk lengths vary but most of the time at the end of this ridge it will curl or coil back up . its hard for some to see it but once you do its undeniable. i hope to get a response for a friendly agreement or disagreement on my interpretation. and possibly showing you examples of my finds. it blows my mind how numerous and wide spread this one type of artifact is.
Mammoths have small ears, and are brown in colour, thats my view of it. Btw have you seen my blog? some of the best portable rock art out there. America has got these mammoth artworks, even I have them, many but not all represent elephants though, mammoth has distinct bump on head, and low small ear.
I can dig out some American elephant rocks for you, just so you know they do exists, many above are ambiguous, some look like mammoth motifs others elephant motifs.
Brett Martin i haven't seen your blog but did go to your channel but would definitely check it out. could i email you a couple pictures of the elephant or mammoth stones ive found just for a perspective from someone who knows more than me on the topic. i try and share some of the stuff i find with friends and get so much scepticism or just lack of interest it gets disheartening at times.
Drew Wood, Yes feel free to send me the pictures you have, is best to show each stone from quite a few angles, this way I can get a better understanding of the piece, my blog is eoliths.blogspot.com/ and my email is brettroxmartin@gmail.com
I found one of such shaped stones in Greece notched to a perfect 90 degrees inner shape and i can put it on the edge of a table.
Looks like a a semierect penis actually-If i hold it like a pistol and put my "triggerfinger" alongside the "barrel" it ends exactly at my fingertip.
The outside of the stone is a bit rounded and there is a mark at the thick part as if used like a hammer.
I really would like to date it and have an idea what is the purpose of this thing.
Thank´s for the video, gave me some clue. :-)
Could it be that it´s not a tool , rather a "locking stone" in some type of construction lika a building?
I would love to see a picture. Thanks for your comment.
William Shira www.flickr.com/photos/54373348@N00/14495139605/
That does look like the stones that I have collected. Thanks for the photo.
William Shira im telling you they are profiles of mammoth heads. havent you noticed there is always even if its tiny a mark for the eye and how on some the ridge goin from the broad part down will curl back up on its self like the trunk of an elephant or mamoth. i know i sound crazy as all hell especially to people who dont rock hunt ALOT but ive found hundreds all over the state of iowa some so identical as far as the geometry to them its impossible to be an accident. theres alway the ear the eye and the trunk.
Wonder if he's joking
William could I send you a pic and get your input on it ?
This is the guideline I personally use. Given rocks are everywhere and artifacts are presumed to be uncommon or rare the assumption at first must be that it is not an artifact unless the combined evidence indicates otherwise. An example of combined evidence: Where it was found, what signs and how many are there of human work done on the stone, does it also double as one or more clear to see effigy (usually bird or reptile), hand placement: the real ones fit perfectly. The reason the older stuff is still around is because it's not so obvious or easily identified.
There in Cali to
OMG! Hahaha!
Those are mostly geofacts. Naturally occurring, with natural fractures rounded or smoothed by nature usually in a stream.
Learn how to knap and you will have a completely different understanding of what makes a tool and what does not.
A tool never ended up in the water?
@@TylerRayMattersRUAC Sure, but it still looks like what it originally was. If it is fast moving water making contact with lots of other stones it soon is broken into pieces. If it is in slow moving water edges become rounded but likely still remains intact. I have found in the cobble beds on the beaches of California cleavers made for butchering whales or seals that are made of felsite. They still look like a cleaver or hand axe but are rounded on all edges. Its anybodys guess as to how old they are but for all the pounding they have taken in the surf they still resemble what they were made to be. If you know how to knap you will grasp this idea rather quickly.
Paleo had eye for rock hound eye candy too you find variety of stone at a site good hammer stones may have hidden fossils also
What good are they? I have buckets of this stuff. no body in interested. Not museums, not rock shops, not auction houses. What good are they???

Absolutely positively not the artifacts you believe they are. You need to stop speaking from a place of self appointed knowledge. Your comfort explaining yourself as if you know what you were talking about is embarrassing for you.
And your self appointed knowledge? If you disagree back it up with information rather then worthless accusations.
Not nearly as embarassing as your profile name. . So educate and enlighten us with your collection??
William i know what your displaying is the real deal .. mainstream archeologist would insist that places such as puma punku were done by aztecs with tools that are the equivalent of my old fisher price tool set!! They are nothing more than false prophets.
Rico Von Spacwolf .?? Forget the artifacts explain to us what the fuck is a spacewolf??
Primitive axe forms, probably Anteveluvium .

These are not a natural-rocks. To my expirence,I would say that there are many signs that indicate,what you have is man made tools not natural. regardless of the negative comments,these are absolutely, magnificent !
@Michayal Valder Michayal is Correct.
Wrong. Just natural stones.
I am sorry for you, but these are natural formed stones. Lacking any sign of working. So, just a collection of natural formed stones, with by change have the same form. However, if you are right, where are the other evidences of human occupation, potsherds, pieces of flint, charcoal etc?
Would tool marks exist if artifacts were under water for several (hundreds/thousands) of years? Just curious pertaining to some items I found after some heavy flooding sitting on top of dirt (flooding washed away a lot of topsoil) in an area with a lot of ancient limestone. This place is a man made lake now with rocks for miles, but only in 2 spots are there thousands that look like pre bc arrowheads, drills, scrapers, hand knives, hand axes. Edges are razor sharp still, but tool marks are either an illusion or they are extremely eroded. Pre-clovis shapes on the arrowheads and arrowhead making scraps, thousands of them, near large stones and there are few large stones in this area as a whole so to see 7 or 8, 1square foot 9 inch tall stones in 1 small area is rare in itself. The main question though if they were submerged would there be tool marks I have zero actual knowledge about archeology just a history buff that thinks he found some cool stuff.
Maarten Perdeck I dont thing so.this must be older ritual artefact 120.000 BC. to 1 000.000 BC.on some location is also black woods like 50% fossilizates.
Dan Fen , what about River Rock ?
I grew up near a river and the Delta.
The rocks , pebbles and even Driftwood ( I know driftwood is soft but you get my point ) are worn smooth by waves and the constant movement of the water.
These rocks are so smooth they are almost polished and many are.
Wind as well smooths out rocks.
Peace : )
Just concretions. Completely natural. Unfortunately not artifacts
Teneis poca imaginacion y ademas afirmais cosas desde vuestra cortedad....lo que ahi ha ocurrido, es esto.- con las corrientes de agua se arrastran arenas y estas alisan las piedras (herramientas) erosionandolas progresivamente a su paso con los miles de años

I think you should talk to your local university archeologist and have them explain how to distinguish man made artifacts from geofacts.What you have show no sign of human use or modification that I could detect. Some wishful thinking and inexperience is on display here.

Most of the archaeologist I know are condescending jerks that couldn't tell an artifact from an acorn.
Thank you
To all of you people who are literally ignorant in this matter: They are not Native American artifacts, that is true. These are found all around the world. They are pre-diluvian. There is a process to reverse the oxidation, and they become smooth as silk, with wonderful colors, pictures and designs. They are fashioned. If you don't believe it, go find one, and polish it. If you do not want to put in the effort, then shut up, because you do not know what you are talking about.
