Great collection Brooksy. I've seen a lot of your individual finds but it's nice to see them all grouped together like that. Man, I could easily lose myself rooting through your collection, haha! Thanks for showing us bud!!
thanks Dale, I'd let ya come root through my artifacts if ya was close or came through this way, I've always appreciated the tools that's why there strung all over through out the house - shiney rocks every where
thanks Mike I'm glad you enjoyed, it's for those like you, that make doing these vids all worth the while & honoring those who came before us & always honoring what they left behind
I live in west Texas and recently found a knife blade/scraper/shaft dresser. Never seen anything quite like it so that's what l call it. Mostly l have found VERY OLD uniface tools and points along with larger spear points. Love your collection, thanks for sharing with us.
Great show of some very underappreciated items Buddy ! You've got quite the selection of them. What amazes me is the amount of flint adzes y'all find ! Around here just about everyone we find is hardstone. Love the flake knives...one of my favs although a very simple everyday thing. The bone tools are cool also ! I haven't done much digging so the amount is very small...LOL Thanks for the show and as always...Good luck taking your next walk !
thanks Elvis, we tried to do our best at a good & wide selection of them, I've found adze's on all era's of sites, but certain culture era's used them a lot, like those from the dirty hole, but the big sea has a strong smetley culture evidence but you never find any Sedalia's out there, never get that part & I love bone tools, now my bud Terry has some really cool bone artifacts from shelters, I'm glad you enjoyed it
You hit the nail on the head Mike ! Everything made by the ancients was a tool for sustaining their lives whether blade , point , scraper , tools for making tools, or what have you . The were all necessary for their daily lives . Thanks for this outstanding look at some of your favorites . Take care and the very best to you . --- Butch
thanks for the great comment Butch, as you seen tools hold a special place in this fellas heart & try to understand their daily life well you gotta love all the finds the left behind especially the basic tools
Yes in deed i have the bug an love it i substituted my drinking an dozen to just plain olé rocking an i have loved the past 4 5 years the best an can remember them lol
awesome video and very informative. Some great examples you showed really makes you respect what they did just to survive. Thanks again, can't wait to see your next find!
Great video Brooksy!! I always like finding tools/scrapers. Most people seem to overlook them, but they were every bit as important as any arrowhead out there. Good luck!!
thanks Carl & yes lots of hunters won't keep tools or they just throw them all in a bucket in the garage or basement, which don't get me wrong I have boxes that are just full of tools but don't have the room to display them all out and about but I always keep out my favorite ones and I case the very best up
Really educational, useful and grateful. I’ve been at this for only a year and this video helps in my confidence in identifying, conservation and - actually - as a careful amateur historian. Thanks.
I'm from South East Utah and nobody here would dare display their finds on the internet. The feds have raided so many homes in the Four Corners area looking for the slightest hint of Ann artifact that even when you find things on your own land, you are nervous about having it in your home. I own a wheat farm now in SW Colorado and have taken to putting all my finds around the tree in my yard when I get home from a hike. Before I started doing that, I had rocks in the bathroom and I had rocks in the kitchen and. In the living room and in the drawers and closets and on shelves and I had boxes full of them on shelves in the shed... When I moved several years ago, I had to rent a storage shed and realized that I was paying storage rent to store boxes of rocks!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
It's a good thing that I love finding tools because no more points than I find, my artifact hunting life would be pretty boring lol! Joking aside, thanks for taking the time to share some of your collection of tools, I truly do enjoy all of the items used for their daily lives. I really enjoy finding a tool that is different from the common and studying it to try and understand the most likely reason for use, I'm sure you do the same! Take care and good luck on the next outing!!
thanks yea tools have a special place, a lot of what we wonder of what they did, is common sense, you just have to imagine yourself living without all the modern amenities & what would you do, that's the best way I know how to figure or imagine how they did certain things, now top archaeologists have proven a lot of theories & it's always good to read everything one can, but not everything is pin pointed out, & that's where collectively sharing gives us lots of insight into what their daily lives where like
Nice video Bud.Enjoyed it.Good commentary as well in describing the things you was showing us.I also have a lot of tools.I find lots and lots of various tools.Maybe I can get around to showing some once I get the ole faithful camera back in hand.:>)
thanks Lane I really appreciate your comment, yea it would be hard to film such items without having a viewfinder to see them through, I know you find a lot of kool tools looking forward to your vid when you get your regular camera back
Great video! I have collected these same artifacts for nearly 40 years. I love it. I have put a lot of thought, imagination, but mainly, logical,common sense, into each and every piece I find. Fortunately I was raised in the country, I have basically the knowledge to survive off the land as well as animals. So there were so many hardships and upon those people,we don't have clue the things they had to endure, just to stay alive. We are all so blessed,yet we take so much for granted. I just recently subscribed to Indian Trace. I was scrolling through one day,and stumbled onto his sight. Something told me to wait and watch for a little bit, there was something about his spirit or demeanor that was just a joy to listen to. Anyway don't mean to talk so much, but really I liked your video tremoundously. I've been contemplating doing a video myself, but not sure yet. Have a lot of stuff from years of collecting. My name is Jeff and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas,and a happier 2020! Peace out!!! !!!
Your videos are awesome! So much information. Thank you for sharing your finds and knowledge. Keep the videos coming! I have found lots of tools but have yet to find my first full point.
Really nice finds and I too appreciate the tools because without them they would have perished. Thank you for taking the time to share your collection of tools.
Jon thanks for enjoying some older videos, the tools are a very important part, not just the knives and projectiles, but really they were a tool too. hope you have a great New Year
That was an awesome video! I love those adze! Don't find too many in my area:/ The materials they used in your are are absolutely amazing! I don't know if it was the lighting, but some of the material had a "camo" look to it. Like that last adze you showed and weren't sure if it was a blade or an adze. I think the only tool i haven't found from your vid is a nutting stone. I completely agree with your line of thinking. when it comes down to it, they are all tools that we find. All equally deserving of our appreciation, and made by, in my opinion, some of the best peoples to have walked this earth. I love and respect everything i find/rescue! It's good to see so many others who think the same! H.H. to you good sir!
thanks FS4life, yea one has to have a deep appreciation for those who came before us, most guys don't even display their tools, they put them in a bucket out in the shed or garage, which don't get me wrong, I have boxes full in my spare room, but I keep the best one's out, I love the adze, they used them here as a main tool, pretty sure they were for a lot of different things but mostly for wood working, some will have a very high polish on them & yea the lighting could of been better, it's not the best corner, but it's where I keep them, thanks for dropping that stellar comment
Yeah. I live in an apartment with roommates, so I can't display everything the way I want, but I'm going to be getting 40 acres up in northern AZ soon. Going to build my own home so I can display everything how I want! Going to try the off grid lifestyle! Most of the digging type of tools I find around here are broken. I'm assuming it's because our dirt is like concrete in most places! That's why I haven't even tried digging for stuff.
finally found the time to get caught up on some vids, and boy howdy am I glad I did, Those are some fantastic examples of what they had to work with, and what they treasured, beautiful material and workmanship, thanks for that awesome peek at them
amazing finds! i find some tools (mostly flint scrapers) here in the fields of Southern Sweden where i live, but sadly most are very damaged because of plowing.
thanks Danz, I'd love to hunt over there one day just to see the difference in Artifacts, really appreciate you stopping by & dropping a comment. best wishes to ya
What an amazing collection Brooksy, thank you for showing us these fascinating tools. I should think its thrilling to find something so long lost and to be able to cherish it like its previous owner did. I was so enthralled I didn't notice how long your video was, thank you again my friend. Take care Brooksy,good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen UK (my keyboard updated itself and I lost my characters sadly)
Just goes to show "if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck it isn't necessarily a duck". I would of thought those first tools were preforms until you showed how the base and edges are worked. Great collection.
Enjoyed Tooling around with you Brooksy! Some really great pieces in your guardianship. Personally I would think the bow and drill stone would be slightly smoother at the center divot, but then again it was wood on rock and not rock on rock type of grinding! Great stuff and thanks for taking the time to show the finer flaking end edging!
Beautiful stuff. I think I probably have no more than a dozen tools that are actually completely intact that I have found over the years. Unfortunately my ex-wife would not allow me to keep a lot of those things because they’re very bulky and heavy and we’re not allowed in the house etc. so I ended up giving them to a museum. Then when I moved back to America, haven’t had time or the space to keep things. I only recently started finding artifacts in an area that was inhabited by one tribe for over 5000 years. Still don’t have a lot of space but I’ll be darned if I’m going to part with the ones that I find this time. Whatever I don’t keep I’m happy to give to the museum nearby.
Ya see, these are real tools. I strongly dislike the community whom finds plain 'ol rocks and claim them to be artifacts. William Shira and crew for example.
The piece at 12:19 looks more Paleo to me, than the piece you show at 13:33, and may even be referred to as a Limace? www.arrowheadology.com/forums/knapping-and-primitive-technology/7235-limaces-other-paleo-tools.html In my area of PA, the flat facet on the top of the tool is seen a lot on paleo tools. You should get some other opinions on that piece - it's pretty sweet. Some of those hammerstones like the one at 22:24 that show rough pitting in the center were also used as anvils. At exactly 22:24 you can see the limited intentional surface pitting(superficial), with the other side showing deeper work/usage. I would think (and I could be very wrong) that the deep pit if used on a fire starter would be a lot smoother in the hole and not so rough looking? Just a thought, and I've not looked into it at all. Thanks a lot for the tool tour - you have some really nice pieces. Take care.
thanks David & you have some good points about the hammerstones with the pits, though maybe it took a long time to get those divots smoothed out from the spindle, we just know they weren't used as a nutting stone, who wants to crack a nut one @ a time to feed the masses & on the flake knifes I've read in several books even one Dr. Dennis Stanford says Paleo flake knives should have 40 some knicks per in he, I use to be on arrowheadology before UA-cam & FB , I really appreciate your input, that's how we all learn more
thanks no we didn't freeze up any morels this year, we should of though, it was a poor season here we only found around 380 something our best spot was flooded out early in the year & it just ruined that area & the hillside ones grew very sporadic
+Brenda Craig yeah & this year we couldn't eat very many, hoping they get my digestive tract fixed back up to normal if that ever happens where I can eat them like I used to that we really missed this year
+Brenda Craig yeah & this year we couldn't eat very many, hoping they get my digestive tract fixed back up to normal if that ever happens where I can eat them like I used to that we really missed this year
@@NomadicAdventuresEst2010 still am when I can. Rock hunting conditions have been pretty shitty up here and work, and ill elderly parents have been taking a tow on my time as well.
@@arrowheadlee conditions have been poor here for a while as well. Sorry to hear about your parents going through a lot of difficulties. You have my thoughts and prayers 🙏
thanks & I couldn't say that 3 times real fast without fumbuzling it up lol & no we haven't done instagram yet, 2 social networks have been enough for me, but it's just pic posting ain't it?? but you still gotta get on there & like posts lol don't know if we have enough time for all that
+Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures yeah it's real easy, and it's easy to find pics of what ur looking for baby searching # and then whatever you want to see, for example #daltonpoint will show u what has been posted under that hashtag. And when u follow people u only get there feeds, not there extra junk.
@@ericschmuecker348 I don't do shows. lol, just made this discovery kind of by accident. But it's Super Archaic and Achaic. Its where Mammoth hunters became native Americans.
yea I have a lot of videos up, but not as many as some, everyone is different, you ever watch Richardsrockhouse he's probably over 2,000 by now & Indian Trace posts a lot of vids, but there's ton of other great UA-cam'Er's , we're all here to share collectively so we can all learn more
They used them many times for scalping heads! Yes, & skinning animal hides, and some were used to polish wooden spears & reeds. U have some beautiful things there! Hey some will even tell a story- like perhaps that small round must’ve purple one - of the great flood.
This is why flintknapping and primitive toolmaking is an important skillset to have, doesnt take long to learn either, especially when you just need an edge for scraping and cutting
well keep looking down & never give up, the Native American has been here for maybe 20,000 years & anyone & everyone can find stone age artifacts up to 12,000 years old, start researching your area for places to look, ask farmers for permission to look at their fields & there's guys that help with places that one could look online, hope you find some in your future adventures
+Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures I'm gonna put a short video on of a flat bone bead found on a trail above the river it has etchings on it too . Try to check it out tell me what you think
And I’m wondering if ur seeing the spirit animals that are carved in them. I saw a Jaguar, a Wolfe or coyote or fox face eagles, a bat, buffaloes, the rose quartz has a bear on one side, owls & they have many time I saw one here warrior face on the “third edge.” Let me know what u find.
What do u mean “ads” or “adz” ??? I’ve not heard that term out here out west. But I’m no expert just a happenstance collector of thousands of whatever ur calling them… really want to know though.
Amazing heartfelt video. Thumbs up if you agree

Thank You Sir very informative and I appreciate you also
Great show brother! I love the tools, some really great examples and craftsmanship on them👍
thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it, I love the tools as well, that's why some are cased up & many around the house in plain site
thankyou I learn so much from you. If you could show how they were tied on and used would make my day and week and month, thanks again.
Awesome, I have tons of these which I picked up over 7 years in VA. Thanks for the time. 😉

Awesome buddy, I got few tools not many points till I find more. I'm learning more about Life here in North America
I found a hammer stone in a Home Depot bag of river rocks and a couple more questionable artifex

Thanks. I just try my best from all the different people and resources I've learned from over the decades.
Gotta love some cool tools!
thanks buddy
Excellent. What a great video- thank you! Really enjoyed that.
thank you for enjoying it, the credit all goes to those who came before us
Nice assortment of tools for sure , thanks for taking the time and sharing em.
thanks for coming along & enjoying them Bob , hope the show of adze helped you with ideas of your tools
Love your videos Brooksy and your dedication to sharing knowledge, thanks for sharing
thank you for your kind words, it's greatly encouraging
Thank you for sharing
I'd love to show you the cool tools and carvings I've found. All paleo.

wish I could find stuff like that
it isnt from lack of trying

Interesting 👍
Nice collection🇺🇸 Do you have any mushrooms in the freezer?😜
thanks no we didn't freeze up any morels this year, we should of though, it was a poor season here we only found around 380 something our best spot was flooded out early in the year & it just ruined that area & the hillside ones grew very sporadic

Thanks for the old Skool tool tour, try saying that three times fast Brooksy! U ever post points on Instagram? I forgot to ask u that.
thanks & I couldn't say that 3 times real fast without fumbuzling it up lol & no we haven't done instagram yet, 2 social networks have been enough for me, but it's just pic posting ain't it?? but you still gotta get on there & like posts lol don't know if we have enough time for all that
+Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures yeah it's real easy, and it's easy to find pics of what ur looking for baby searching # and then whatever you want to see, for example #daltonpoint will show u what has been posted under that hashtag. And when u follow people u only get there feeds, not there extra junk.
great job
My Hammerstone has a dimple on top in a dimple on bottom
Could be a Nutting stone or Loaf stone.
Bipolar percussion has been around for 2 million years. I'm just hearing about it.

What's a billet used for
They used them many times for scalping heads! Yes, & skinning animal hides, and some were used to polish wooden spears & reeds. U have some beautiful things there!
Hey some will even tell a story- like perhaps that small round must’ve purple one - of the great flood.
how old are these tools?
How close u to butler county Missouri
This is why flintknapping and primitive toolmaking is an important skillset to have, doesnt take long to learn either, especially when you just need an edge for scraping and cutting
I have a house full, there's alot of art work in so many of them.
all I've found is tools so far and a bone bead
well keep looking down & never give up, the Native American has been here for maybe 20,000 years & anyone & everyone can find stone age artifacts up to 12,000 years old, start researching your area for places to look, ask farmers for permission to look at their fields & there's guys that help with places that one could look online, hope you find some in your future adventures
+Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures I'm gonna put a short video on of a flat bone bead found on a trail above the river it has etchings on it too . Try to check it out tell me what you think
Frankly, I like tools better than arrowheads
thanks & yes tools have their special place
And I’m wondering if ur seeing the spirit animals that are carved in them. I saw a Jaguar, a Wolfe or coyote or fox face eagles, a bat, buffaloes, the rose quartz has a bear on one side, owls & they have many time I saw one here warrior face on the “third edge.” Let me know what u find.
