Beachcomb Hide & Seek on a Hawaiian Beach
มุมมอง 4972 ปีที่แล้ว
Just like animals in the wild, it can also be hard to find treasures on certain beaches because they blend in so well with the local Flora & Fauna. Black or sun purple sea glass, for instance, on rocky beaches or sea beans surrounded by sargassum-filled wrack can be difficult to spot. Hawai'i is no exception. On many of it's coral-cobbled beaches, shell seeking can be a real challenge until, th...

    Last week after the hurricane off Carolina there was an ancient oyster shelf exposed and many tools and jewelry from the neolithic era were in a large trench running up the beach. The tools are of many varieties, but I too found this heavy basalt used for small knives and a petrified tusk that has been shaped into an amulet with the letter "Z" carved in it (the 12,000 year old artist signature- all the tools are various forms of hammers and small mirrors to signal up the beach. I used Google Lens for assistance. Your piece with the letters is remarkable.

    Two or three years ago I found a piece of pottery and it was from there bottom of some sort of ceramic. It was from the company ‘Ridgways Stoke on Trent’ and I can’t seem to find anything that is similar to it. I mainly just want to identify which piece it may have been from. I’ve done a little bit of digging based on the logo and found that it may be from around 1885-1890

    I have a few hundred pounds of 'rocks' that I've found right in our yards and driveway. Had to laugh because so many are technically beach stones! I wore out a hip anteriorly, bending down to collect my treasures. I've previously sorted most of them by color, texture, then density/weight. I so wish I had a geologist friend! Now I am inviting two young grand daughters to help me do a final sort after which I will try to identify them more accurately. This is the most fun I've had in years ;-). We seem to be living in some sort of vein of soil that was pushed down from Canada. I am glad to have found your channel and will use it as one of my learning sites. Thanks!

    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.

    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

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……….
