Hi Dr. Beachcomb and All The little carved cream stone at the end of this film that fascinates you so, reminds me of the ‘Roly Poly Clowns’, ‘Rocking Clowns’ from my childhood in the sixties here in the UK!? A friend who lived on the Isle of Harris until recently, dug up and described to me three similar such stones that he believes had been purposely buried together? However you rocked them they came back and formed together somehow? He was fascinated by them…… Interestingly, he was a very ‘wild soul’ very in touch with the spiritual realms and the sea. He loved where he lived it was ‘his bit of Heaven’………… He also adored being out in his boat in a storm or riding his motorbike or driving his car too fast! You get the picture……. Alas he passed last year so I can ask no more of him nor have I any idea what happened to the stones when his home was cleared……….. Obviously, I hope they are in ‘safe keeping’…………. I thought this story worth sharing? Thank you Go well and Enjoy! Hx
Hi Steve- Thx for your judgey comment. The Bose items were purchased at thrift shops for meager amounts. The Mac is used for work - I am a writer after all.
Thank you. Are all the rocks you found in places where indigenous people were or not necessarily a campsite or congregating area? I have found similar rocks in a creek in Ohio where they were nearby but im not sure they are artifacts.i see some pecking & lines that look manipulated but I'm skeptical.
Earliest fossilised human remains 300,000 years old found in Morocco a few years ago with stone tools dated to the same time. We’ve been around a long time using stone tools and cleaning up on beaches where as metal has only been in use for 4,000 years…… Im guessing stone tools are every where and a lot of them are no where near as well designed and beautifully made as the clovis era ones………. Once you get your eyes focused they are everywhere! Enjoy
I’m in Hawaii too, CONSTANTLY trying to figure out what all this stuff is. I’m surrounded by it. They’re on the surface of my property so a lot of it is broken, it wasn’t until I got a new puppy and went further out I found an adze. I mean, it’s square and polished soooo smooth it feels soft! THAT is what made me go, “Wait a minute.” Started kneeling down and looked around and realized, these aren’t just rocks. They’ve all been hand manipulated! I collected a bunch this past year, it got bad to where I’m narrowing it down to keep only if it’s complete (besides that adze) or if it’s sooo peculiar or obviously hand done (usually you can feel the grips which I’m surprised fit my hand perfectly). But now, identifying what the hell they were for will haunt me for the rest of my life unless I find an identification reference book or something.
Hello, Nate here seen your video an I've found some.really close looking artifacts you showed an mine were found in southern central Ks an Okla as well as Iowa an Washington St. Ive also found some things I don't know what they are. I'm Native American and a Collvile tribe as well as ArrowLakes Canada tribe. Most everything I find are answers from Creator that I ask for in this manner. Ive got many items I've donated to the Kaw museum in Kaw lake Oklahoma. Ive found some very very rare pieces as well an would like to see if I'm correct on what they are . I've always wanted to Open a place to share them but haven't had a position yet till now. I'd like to share most of my collection which is over hundreds of pieces at all kinds of time periods B.C.an A.D. there DNA is the finger prints of every tool or object ever handled.thank you for your video as well..
Wonderful that you appreciate your heritage, Nate, Clearly, you know what you are doing if the museums want your finds for their collections. That's where mine are going to end up, too.
@s.d.patolo4279 I'm not licensed to help the husband, but I am one in real life. Correct artifact identification varies from amateur to professional and from a guess to peer-reviewed. This is a process that starts by learning what is not an artifact as all others are just rocks. Speculation and guessing are the fun parts.
@@ericschmuecker348 Hahaha! I don't think my husband wants or needs your help, Eric. But I'd appreciate some, including clarification - if "correct artifact ID'ing varies from amatuer to professional," what exactly are you saying? BTW, hubby has worked as a prehistoric archaeologist for nearly 40 years with some leading institutions & companies, & has made several significant finds so I think I’m good relying on his expertise. HNY & Happy artifact hunting.
Hahaha! good to know and I’ll be more careful next time, but if people get a charge by looking down the shirt of a 70-year-old gal, then all good by me
Hi, I love your video. You and your husband are so knowledgeable!! I would love if you could look at a couple of pics for me to see what you think. I live in Eastern Canada and have found a couple of things. I could give you my email 😊

Oh, I love this story! Sounds like this is one of those as it was found in the UK and shows no sign of human manipulation.
"Thrift shop shirt. Save your money so you can travel." Yet there's a Mac and two Bose devices on your desk. Funny.

The Bose was thrift shop find, Hun. The Mac is work-needed but several years old. Kinda judgy, no?

All have been found in regions where pre-historic peoples lived

wow! Would love to see your finds some day!
It's not called "flaking", it's called "knapping".
Thank you. Knapping.
Not mice, nice!!!!
Very mice.

Not an artifact in the tray. You need a new husband, he's full.
And your credentials?

don't suppose you know but don't know who's doing the video but he's filming right down your top . you can see what you had for breakfast.
