Nice pieces there. I've lived around creeks for years and am now hiking through them and finding lots of stone tools similar to yours. Turns out there was an Indian trial that came through my area. Found this out from an old map I found online. Found a nice grooved axe and lots of grinders and polishers and I'm converting a space in my barn for all the tools I'm finding. Do you know of any forums to post pictures of my finds? I'd like to share them.
@@brentkuehne435good to see you back.. recently found a very unusually shaped hammer stone bout 5 inches long,an inch wide,inch and a half tall.shaped like a letter P.. almost two and half pounds.. thought was dense iron ore...showed it to a local museum, turned out to be a very nicely crafted stoney iron meteorite.... my bastard file didn't even scratch it, and 8000 years ago a " primative " man took a gift from space and managed to shape it into a graceful well balanced hammer.... love my points... no doubt there.. but the incredible range of task specific tools is highly underappreciated... also when you find creek worn tools, the water has worn smooth the telltale marks of manufacture and differential grinding and forensic identification of the wear marks... makes it an acquired skill and curiosity that most people just don't have, and could not care less
@mikereilly7629 Thanks for the comment! The reality is there are way more tools out there than points! Very few people are looking for them or know anything about them.
Very interesting how so many of the more basic tools share a common form even if made in different regions. Ya’ll seem to have a little more diversity in material than here in the Ozarks. We’re mostly sandstone and limestone. Some chert.
@brucedawson6991 Tourmaline, quartzite, blue, and black granite are materials they really liked to use here. The Chert I find comes from Northern Alabama, and a lot of the sandstone comes from Tennessee.
Glad to see your videos today! 💯
Thanks for sharing.
A couple of my polishing stones look like finger.
Thanks for sharing

@bloodnthuner I don't know of any forums off hand. Us tool hunters are a rare bread!

You should watch some mudfossil University on here. It'll blow your mind.
@colbyking6068 l will look it up. Thanks!
