I find the exact same here in N.E. Ga. and I have to agree with your assessment of them for I have studied them for 30+ years and still do. Great video.
I so enjoyed your last video, I had to watch this one! Thanks for the laughs, I had some good old belly laughs! Like I said before, whether these or tools or not it's one fine collection. I'm a rock hound myself, so I can definitely appreciate yours. Maybe I need to get an Indian artifact book and take a closer look at mine. Nifty! 😉
WE ARE NOT ROCK HOUNDS YOU CALL US EARLY STONE AGE TOOLS AND ARTIFACT AND HISTORY COLLECTORS. AND YOU WONT FIND THE INFORMATION YOU SEEK ON THE WEB ARE IN A BOOK GOOD LUCK.
Cody Canion , I hope you weren't offended by my comment but you did refer to a book in your video this is why I made that comment. Apparently there is a book that you refer to about Indian artifacts. I am a rock hound and I didn't mean to infer that your collection were " just rocks". I do have thousands of rocks and many appear to look like yours. Maybe a few of mine are artifacts so maybe I do need to get the artifact book you used in your video. I do have some arrowheads and pottery. I'd love to confirm my suspicions about many of my rock finds because they too appear to be artifacts of man. You have a nice day. I did enjoy your video.
I collect arrow heads & Stone Age tools. A good majority of that stuff are just very unusual rocks & nothing more ! I’m not saying ALL of them. Just SOME
Hey Jason, I appreciate the comment. I've been collecting artifacts, stone tools, effigies, fossils, dinosaur bones and teeth, a few meteorites, been on many digs in multiple states, going on 45 years. Yes, there absolutely might be a couple of pieces that are natural, but you're way off with "a good majority of that stuff are just very unusual rocks and nothing more". Keep studying and researching and getting lots of field experience. Rock on!
@@lanceetexas here in western Pa I have many of the same rocks and artifacts..some are just spiffy rocks but when..like you..when I find them along side flint and chert points scrappers knives etc I don't doubt their are stone tools/artifacts..38yrs of artifact hunting and research myself..it was called the "stone age" for a reason..ancient man used whatever lithographic materials available to get the job done and survive.. some one way thonging closed minded people just don't get the fact that all artifacts are not shiny smooth pointy sharp perfect objects they see in museums and arrowhead/relic shows..have a better one 👍
Many river rocks are naturally polished fossils of various shapes or Concretion Fossils that the natives made use of and modified into tools. Mostly inland Sea Marine Fossils or fragments of larger Animal Fossils
@LamokaGhost Howdy Mr. Lamoka, thank you for the comments. When I was a kid, I started picking up those odd shapes because I thought they were cool looking. I kept finding them every so often, in areas where I find other obvious artifacts and arrowpoints. Funny you should mention Chevy Chase, he is one of my favorite actors. Hope to meet him one day! Thanks for watching, more soon. Lance
I saw some flint pieces on your shelf that I was told were pre forms. I always thought they were crude tools, because they were worked on all sides and people always said I was wrong. Recently I saw a video by a university archeologist that found a cache of such pieces. One piece had residue of a horse, one had residue of buffalo and one had residue of camel on it. It has been a long tine since camels were in America, so they can be ancient tools used for cutting, scraping, etc
I have found a stone that shows how the triangle pieces were made . They ground the back side and etched the smooth side to break it into those pieces . .
WoW lancerman , you should do stand-up !! You have put more thought and energy into your collection than the next 10 collectors put together. Your organization and examination of your possible artifacts is amazing. So many of them are very unusual , when you look them over , you are quite convincing and are obviously very well read. Great verbal sound effects !!!! Totally entertaining video !!! Very fun,THANKS. How do you find so much alibates ???That little triangle/pyramid IS just like mine.
They're heart-shaped, but upside down, they would probably resemble a special body part. They created effigies of different body parts, too...besides effigies of people and animals.
Mr Lance what do you do to make your artifacts look so good on display, I clean all the ones that me and my girlfriend find and they only look like yours when they are wet but when they dry they do not look so appealing as your displays. We are a couple of amateur artifact go getter collectors and I'm at a point I want to show off all of our cool finds and need some advice. thanks
Hey Michael, I grew up just north of the Canadian River, 36 miles NW of Amarillo, so similar stone tools and other artifacts in your neck of the woods would not be uncommon. I appreciate the comment. Rock on!
+joshua moore Hey Joshua, you are correct, I have found lots of pottery shards at the same sites. A few large pieces and lots of small pieces. Rock on!
Pottery finishing, hide softening, leather working, healing stones, adornments, game pieces, spacers for different crafts, etc. Have scene them made in as many sizes as materials. At one point I got to thinking the were a quick sharpener or grinder to touch up other tools… ??? It’s fun to ponder…
Hello Lance! Great video! I have quite a few of those pyramid (triangle) rocks in my collection as well. I was just wondering how you clean your rocks?? Do you tumble them or use another method (as not to break them in the tumbler)?
Hey Keith, thank you for commenting. The ONLY cleaning I do with my artifacts is hosing them off over my sifting screen and a soft nylon bristle brush if needed. I don't tumble any artifacts. If you're serious about artifact collecting, just hose off the dirt and mud. Don't scrape any mineral deposits off and don't tumble them. That will devalue and possibly damage any worthy artifacts. Rock on!
I can vouch for this person and his collection of early stone age tools and artifacts. I myself have a collection of artifacts no human has seen in 2.5 million years. One rock can change history well lets just say my collection can change it 1000 times. It is what it is wake up people trying to tell and show you truth is becoming old.
@pestleman1951 Howdy Mr. Pestleman, I do appreciate the comments. I grew up on a 10,000 acre ranch in the Texas panhandle just north of the Canadian River and about 30 miles west of the Alibates Flint quaries. I go back every year to visit and hiking and find alibates flint most of the time. I have a bunch of chips and chunks. Do you want some? I'd be happy to send you some. Thanks for watching my videos. Got more coming soon. Lance
Cool video man I don't ever see any videos like this those are all tools. I have a ton of them, I live on a creek in pollock la and it's loaded with shit like this
@lanceetexas Hey Lancerman ,I would love some !!!! But don't go to a lot of touble. Do you have actual outcrops of it or do you think it is from the famous quarry and carried by indians to your lands ???
I'm an avid rock hound and native American artifact collector myself, ni on 50+ years ,most of the triangle shaped rocks are just rocks shaped like triangles. I was out looking this afternoon and believe me there l-shaped and triangle shaped rocks everywhere. I live in nwarkansas now but have lived all around the state and seen thousands of such stones. Down around malvern Arkansas there are smooth round sometimes oblong shaped rocks. When first encountered them in early 70s I was convinced they were Indian pestle stones, had to made by ancient hands. No, they are not. They are practically everywhere you dig. We called them potato stones, they look like freshly plowed potatoes. They are not ancient man made artifacts. Some of you finds possibly, most afraid not. I'm not runnin you down about them, your entitled to your opinion like anyone else. You are a bona-fide rock hound and that suits me fine, enjoyed the video. I've got more rocks around my House and shop good lord I have too much stuff. My head is always looking at the ground everywhere I go, always has. Have a good evening.
We started finding a few old stone tools near a river in Pennsylvania last week...I made a video of a amazing nutting stone . The water did wear it down a bit but the holes are all accurate in matched size.The Video is on my channel and your input would be priceless to me. 👍
i see the same type of artifacts up here in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. We are in the same elevation as the Gault Texas they have a dig site in Florence Texas
You can tell the tools that they make every one will be shaped so that it fits in your hand perfect every part your fingers and palm touch the rock will be notched or shaped to fit. You think about it we got it made with dewalt and craftsman tools in our sheds all they had were rocks and sticks
You do know that when you see animal shapes in clouds that they are not being shaped by human hands,right? You see what you want to see. Wishful thinking for most of this stuff. Geofacts are not artifacts. There are signs that make true artifacts mostly unmistakable. I saw little of these signs on yours. Glad you and your imagination have so much fun though. I don't think it's a good idea to mislead people though.
@@paulmax3185 thank you for the additional comment, your original comment showed your limited education. I'm 58, I have over 45 years experience collecting/hunting. Yes there might be a few natural pieces but the majority are true artifacts. IF you truly had more than just a basic knowledge in archeology you would know there is no way you can positively identify artifacts without examining them in person. Keep studying and getting lots of field experience. Rock on!
Paul is correct. This person is delusional. I have surface collected for 20 years and have thousands of artifacts. The peices in the video are GEOFACTS and this video is a misleading bunch of crap. I did see a few real scrapers but couldnt watch the whole video because of the douche factor
Do you have Instagram ? I want you to check out my Instagram. I have a bunch or that same exact stuff, even the shapes. I live in central new Mexico and that stuff is all over.
Paleo Native Americans created tools, weapons, dwellings, foods, clothes, medicines, pottery, jewelry, toys, effigies, amulets, game pieces, etcetera out of their surrounding natural resources, including stones...animals...trees...plants....and bodies of fresh water.
Some r tools,no doubt.But to c them as as a heart shaped seems unlikely.The heart shape is a modern concept.It doesn't look like a heart really looks,I doubt paleo man had ever seen the advertising logo I ❤️ milk, Interesting collection,though.I have some items, especially triangular pieces that are almost identical,Game stones r what they r called, but their environment was so very different from todays that how can we really know what was in their minds as they made these wonderful little enigmas?
Well some are river rocks while others def. are not. Doesn't matter what we think anyway. if it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Try taking them to someone who buys and sells in those types of artifacts. You learn real soon what you do and don't have. Books can only teach you so much. You eyes on the piece can tell so much more about. Just b/c there's peck marks doesn't mean it's worked. Worked stones usually have a look to them, in the shape of the point to be made, but with percussion marks. Those, (percussion marks) look man made. What you are showing is a rock tumbling in the water bumpiing other rocks forming the pecking marks.
Just plain old rocks. Wow.
I love rocks. Got quite a few myself.
Texas panhandler here as well 👍🏻 awesome video.
Tons and tons of these in my yard in West Austin, Texas. All in the same area.
I find the exact same here in N.E. Ga. and I have to agree with your assessment of them for I have studied them for 30+ years and still do. Great video.
Hey Charles, thank you for commenting. I appreciate it. Rock on!
Cool rocks.
The second series of small stones are jewelry made usually of animal heads.
I saw a moose and other animals.

Love to listen to you and your special sound effects. :) Still smiling.
Great video Lance, I was wondering how to video my effigies & such,....well alright then 😐
I also think some of them like the pyramid shaped ones are actually loom weights used for weaving clothing and blankets etc. cool stuff.

Cracks me up when these know it alls call clay artifacts geofacts. Its a man made rock guys, how could it be natural?
I have found a stone that shows how the triangle pieces were made . They ground the back side and etched the smooth side to break it into those pieces .
.
I found a multi tool a few days ago here in NC it's a hand hatched, knife and shaft shaver all in a 3/4 x7 in flat stone
Fwiw I find my fair share of triangles here in south Louisiana

Also they can be used for knapping arrowheads and stones.
Multipurpose stones.
U got cool artifacts. I have some collected here from middle TN myself. Keep on Keeping on Dude.
Very entertaining and informative vid!
Good stuff...
They're heart-shaped, but upside down, they would probably resemble a special body part. They created effigies of different body parts, too...besides effigies of people and animals.

and thus was born the term, "broken heart".
The hearts and triangle ones you start with I have found literally thousands
I find the exact same artifex you’re finding but mine are found in Oklahoma of the Canadian river
Hey Michael, I grew up just north of the Canadian River, 36 miles NW of Amarillo, so similar stone tools and other artifacts in your neck of the woods would not be uncommon. I appreciate the comment. Rock on!
Howdy Mr Rick, I do appreciate it. I always enjoy yours as well. I hope to have some more vids on here soon. Thank you for watching.
Im hi how hi r u?? dunnunnunnunn... Ur funny man very animated remind of miself.. Serious kool kollection
you've got a lot of pottery tools. I bet you could go where you found those and find pottery shards.

Check out fossils it pretty interesting and might help you identify some of them
I have a finger Nail File too

Wedge shaped stones maybe polisher for pottery and stone.
But I'm talking about the darker stuff that seems to have bends and folds sometimes and little tiny like bowls or balls.

The wedge shaped and small stoned are ones used for gambling or jewelry.
At 3:18. A very fine polisher. Yes they loved heart and triangular shapes. Also trapezoids. Note that many tools have multi uses.
Cool video man I don't ever see any videos like this those are all tools. I have a ton of them, I live on a creek in pollock la and it's loaded with shit like this

Thank you sir if it weren't for you I wouldn't know what happened stuff is I'm finding
Very nice you collect kind of the things I do
Maybe its the bermuda truangke culture
Alot of those looked like spoons
