Amazing Finds Buddy, that bannerstone is something special, I know I’ve watched this before but I don’t think I’ve ever commented, had to watch it again, Thanks For Sharing, GL&HH!!!
I have no words other than congratulations Ben! They're still out there. Of course one is on my bucket list but they are few and far between in our area. Great job guys and continued good luck to you all. Spike
Thanks Spike, Ben would have tripped on it if he hadn't recognized the shape. We all hope you can find one so you can check it off the list. Take care.
Oh my goodness. At least my guy chose a soft piece of banded slate to drill through. The neat part of Ben’s find is confirmation they used a hollow drilling instrument. I can’t imagine drilling through a piece of granite or gneiss material. It’s a beautiful example. Thanks for sharing a rare find.
You are right. I've seen two other incomplete examples with the nipple being an inch or so long inside. Amazing how much work went into some of the natives tools. Happy to share and thank you.
Nice Hardaway Palmer point. Beautiful Bannerstone. I have a friend that collects bannerstones and would go crazy to buy it in a second if he saw it. Good hunting and " God Bless!
Simply stunning! thank y’all very much for sharing. I’ve been so busy I’m just catching up to that beauty. Either way a day y’all will never forget. Good stuff bubba
GREAT artifact my friends. The material is beautiful. With tools that have difficulties it is difficult to create something like this. What they used the BANNERSTONE for. GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS a great team.
You guys find stuff I can only dream of. Wow, congrats yet again. Y'all are truly in artifact heaven in your tromping grounds. Always look forward to a posted video by action Jackson
Looks like Ben had a heck of a day. First a blade. Then found that Killer Bannerstone !!! That is a killer. Drilled all the way or just a little. Just crazy how they core drilled hardstone. Bennie's find of that bifurcated point. Its a smoker. Is that a Pine tree? You all together found some really nice artifacts. Thanks for taking us along with you. I needed it. Tell everyone I said hello. God bless you all. I hope to see you all soon. P.H.
Heck yeah! Killer finds! That Bannerstone is sweet. I’ve got a Bar amulet that is 3/4 drilled on one end and just started on the other. Always cool to see the way they drilled through granite.
Wouldn’t it be cool to know the story.of “why” didn’t they get to finish the relic. I think it makes it even more interesting, just like your amulet. Thank you.
I bet you a $1,000 that ain’t real!!....😉🤣 Obviously I’m completely kidding! WOW!!! What an incredible find guys! Finished or not it’s great! One can only imagine the reason for it not being completed. All part of the mystery. Some beautiful points too. Great vid guys!!
I have no doubt you would pay when you lost a bet, unlike the funny talking fella. Yes, being unfinished adds to the intrigue.Thanks a bunch. You all take care.
What an awesome bannerstone. The material is beautiful. Hard to imagine the amount of time spent getting it to that point . Unfinished banners are rarer finds than finished or damaged pieces. What was that bifurcated piece Benny found ? Good to see you guys out having a good time finding some artifacts. Thanks for sharing Jack . I hope you all have continued success and take care .
Ben's very happy with his find as well he should be. Years ago he found a drilled boatstone made from the same material, but it had some plow damage. The piece Benny found has a lot of pinetree characteristics. Great to hear from you.
That small point makes me wonder about the diameter of the shaft it was hafted to. I know many of the points vary in age but did they have a whole different setup to propel that small point .
The small triangular points are referred to as Madison’s in our area, and are Mississippian in time period. They are true”arrowheads”,and would have been used with a Bow and arrow instead of the older dart points used on the Atlatl. I would think that the reed or cane used to haft would have to be pretty narrow to penetrate a target with such a small arrow. Take care.
I would maybe think they drilled them last because it was the longest, hardest part of the job. If they were happy with the results of everything else then they would drill it.
Did you used to have a page called rockhead oh ???just askin because your voice sounds like a guy i used to watch a few years back.nice finds and a killer bannerstone
😳😳😳, congrats, one fine hardstone artifact, wouldn’t ya love to go back in time to see why it wasn’t finished, anyone researched how long the drilling process took?
The story of why it wasn't finished makes it very interesting. Archaic Bannerstones are rare finds in our area, but we find alot of Atlatl dart points here. Without modern tools it would have taken a while to drill through hardstone, especially when they used sand and hollow cane or reed. I've said before that I would love to go back in time and see how they lived and made things, but I wouldn't want to stay to long, I like my modern conveniences too much. Thank you.
That material ..knock my socks off ! Thanks for the share👍! That dimple speaks for itself !
Yes indeed, beautiful material. Thank you.
That bannerstone sure cleaned up nice!!! Great finds.
Pinetrees, triangles, blunts, and a bannerstone! Awesome!!! Beautiful material.

@@actionjacksonartifactsandb877 thank you for sharing, what a great hunt. Bol to all. 👊✌
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thanks for watching!
A lot of work went into that unfinished banner stone. That granite/gneiss is crazy hard!
That’s right, pecking, grinding, polishing, and drilling. A lot of work.
I have no words other than congratulations Ben! They're still out there. Of course one is on my bucket list but they are few and far between in our area. Great job guys and continued good luck to you all.

Thanks Spike, Ben would have tripped on it if he hadn't recognized the shape. We all hope you can find one so you can check it off the list. Take care.
Sweat,Sweat, it's more of a banner than I ever found. Drilled through or not.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Eric, but anything is possible for you, especially in Indiana. Take care.

I'm glad I was there to witness it, and I'm very happy to get it on video. Good to hear from you. Take care.
GREAT artifact my friends. The material is beautiful. With tools that have difficulties it is difficult to create something like this. What they used the BANNERSTONE for. GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS a great team.
Archaeologists have long believed Bannerstones were Atlatl weights. Some have been found in caves with handles and hooks intact. Thank you.
Action Jackson Artifacts and Benny Rocks Thanks my friend. you're very kind.
You guys find stuff I can only dream of. Wow, congrats yet again. Y'all are truly in artifact heaven in your tromping grounds. Always look forward to a posted video by action Jackson
Yes sir, we are in an artifact rich region for sure. Thank you and Thank you, for looking forward to our videos.
Looks like Ben had a heck of a day. First a blade. Then found that Killer Bannerstone !!! That is a killer. Drilled all the way or just a little. Just crazy how they core drilled hardstone.
Bennie's find of that bifurcated point. Its a smoker. Is that a Pine tree?
You all together found some really nice artifacts. Thanks for taking us along with you. I needed it.
Tell everyone I said hello. God bless you all. I hope to see you all soon.
P.H.
Yes sir, Ben had a great find, and that was a little pine Benny found. Always great to hear from you. Hope you and yours are well. Take care.
Heck yeah! Killer finds! That Bannerstone is sweet. I’ve got a Bar amulet that is 3/4 drilled on one end and just started on the other. Always cool to see the way they drilled through granite.

Killer bannerstone love it. That's on my bucket list
Definitely a bucket list relic. Thank you.
Yeah buddy
Hello Brice, hope all is well.

Stellar!!!! Really enjoyed watching that save. You guys always find killers and a lot of them!!! Why so much material?? Was there a city there? Lol
Thanks Scott, long occupied camp sites are probably the reason so much material is lying on the ground. Take care.
Would love to see all your finds cleaned up so we can see their colors and shapes better! Great find♡♡♡
I used to do clean up pictures in my videos Jenny, but people say the videos are too long. Thank you.
What an awesome bannerstone. The material is beautiful. Hard to imagine the amount of time spent getting it to that point . Unfinished banners are rarer finds than finished or damaged pieces.

I had to skip to the end to see it clean lol
I always thought you were a patient man. That kid of yours will teach you.
Material looks like porphyry don't know if i spelled that right tho. Congrats
Your spelling is right. Thanks
You'd think they'd drilled before final shaping and polishing. I've seen many the same way. Go figure!
We agree.
I would maybe think they drilled them last because it was the longest, hardest part of the job. If they were happy with the results of everything else then they would drill it.
Did you used to have a page called rockhead oh ???just askin because your voice sounds like a guy i used to watch a few years back.nice finds and a killer bannerstone
No sir, but I’ve seen his channel. Thank you very much.
Nice old man fart at 1:08…
What made it worse was he had bean with bacon soup for lunch.

Can anyone out there tell me what a banner stone was used for? New Sub and already like it here...lol
Archaic Atlatl counter weights. Check out some demonstrations on You tube
@@actionjacksonartifactsandb877 Thanks I will do just that!
Billy idol😢
its granite!
That would be fake according to cry baby Cousteau lol. Sorry had to throw a funny bone at you
That’s OK, I love to laugh. Maybe I should send it to him to get it PAPERED
