    Not every rock you pick up is a tool. Natural abrading either by sand and wind or water accounts for a good portion of rock smoothness. Love the pottery and pipe pieces! Pretty damned cool! I find small pieces of pottery here in WI, and some clunky pieces of dawb, but no full pots ever. Can thank frost for that conundrum.

      You are correct about natural weathering of stones. Good pieces of pottery are hard to find!

      It's the pecking and the smooth polished together that is difference. Like all holes are not drill holes, but the natural ones are rough from the separation of the weak mineral spots, and lines that were for sharpening will be smooth on walls and rough at bottom of groove...lots of ways to tell the difference in nature caused and man made.

      I live a few city blocks from the Rio Grande, here in South Texas. The artifacts that I've found in my backyard and around my vicinity are greatly overlooked by people who live around here. They're practically just about everywhere. Native Americans created much more than just arrowheads, as I've found lots of stone tools and effigies around here...and of all different sizes.

      @@josefizquierdo6139 I've been collecting "pretty" rocks for about 30 years. Imagine my delight when I discovered that they ALL have faces. I just could not believe that archeology does not see this. But I am delighted at the same time, as I can walk around the Butte and pick them up for free all day. (unbelievable, huh?)

    I found your channel a couple weeks ago to learn about what to look for when hunting for native artifacts. I've been a rockhound for decades but not much knowledge in this field. After watching your videos for about a week I went out onto the property I live on and it blew my mind. In the course of a few days and several hours I've found dozens of possible and at least 15-20 definite artifacts. Scrapers identical to some I've seen you display with thumb notches and grooving from use, at least two drills, a right hand and a left hand that are mirror images with broken tips, rubbed, faceted hematite stones, a "stir stone" small, worked scraper with red paint covering half of it etc. I am absolutely hooked. I'm certain I am located where there was a large settlement if not a travel/trading hub, it would make sense given my location. My rock collection is in storage currently but I know there are some incredible artifacts in it I remember collecting from the shapes. Where I am from the natives actually had a source of jade relatively nearby (30-40 miles) that they gathered or traded for and some of the artifacts are stunning imo. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge sir. Subscribed

    The piece at 8:40 I've got many of in my yard. The layered black and white that creates a concentric circle effect is quite pronounced on many. I'm wondering now if what I thought was glacial cobbles are actually tools? Many of them have those notches, hand sized. Lots of low rock walls here, Maine. Any suggestions on references to help me learn what's what?

    The other day, I was coming back home from grocery shopping, and I found a couple of artifacts, "an effigy of a person's face and an effigy of a bird," on the curbside of an elementary school near my home. Some kid must have suspected that both stones had peculiar, odd shapes, but then they probably changed their mind and just left them there on the curbside. People are not aware or don't realize that Native Americans were all over the Americas, especially here in South Texas, by the Rio Grande. LOL 🗿

      The Rio Grande was the highway for peoples for centuries. Historians will teach that fact. But they don't touch the polymorphic "portable rock art" that they left behind everywhere. What we could learn from them, if we took data like they did on arrowheads, would be where they came from and where they went!

      Years back, I was in a goodwill thrift store in Bridgeport ct looking for a cheap radio on my lunch break. As i passed by the dollar table on my way out i saw an 11 inch long stone axe head among old candy dishes and other junk. It's a beautiful dark green and compleatly polished with alot of chips and resharpining of the edge.
      Every time I pick it up and look at it I still cant believe it.
      Bridgeport is near the mouth of the Housatonic River that dumps into Long Island sound. That area was crawling with Indians for centuries.

    At 6:40 There are maybe one or two faces on that, because it is a tool. They didn’t put a lot of character in the tools but the images invoke earthy feelings. The art grabs you by the spirit and wrangles it around conforming it to what they wanted it to be. It is the essence of our human evolution

    You cannot clean pottery or soapstone, it cracks up and breaks. You don’t wanna put any water on that! I made that mistake, knowing what is a Stone, what is soapstone, and what is a crafted cement or pottery type material is paramount before you ever decide that you were going to clean anything

    I would avoid calling those notched out, most look conveniently shaped. I don't buy that every one of these are artifacts, but at least you are showing use wear on some of them. Much better percentage of actual artifacts than most videos like this. I actually like the quartzite hammerstone. Actual hammerstones are really hard to ID and I think you found one. It wasn't notched out though, that break is natural or accidental.

    Their is plenty of tutorials and/or instructions that are easy to find about the best way to do this cleaning style but I swear by it for polishing stones and all sorts of artifacts. Basically , depending on what your specimen is you can decide your own creative process and tools to use but when I'm looking to clean and polish up raw or rough specimens and keep crystal pockets , stones/minerals or artifacts just the way I found them , I'll use Borax as my cleaner than food grade diatomaceous. I'll use them in the final stages when tumbling as well. But for items that are more fragile and require a delicate touch I'll use a plastic container , bucket or even ziplock bags with a few scoops of borax first , add some water and gently swish things around by hand . Than rinse off with purified , ozonated water just for the sake of staying away from chlorination and any heavy metals that might or fluoride that might start to oxidize your specimens. Than repeat again with but replace the Borax with the FOOD GRADE diatomaceous. Sears hardware or your local pet store is a good place to look for any. Sometimes you need to get creative with some precision tools like your sister's favorite hair brush or an old tooth brush or your roommate's new toothbrush that's under the sink and still in the package. Just think outside the box like an archeologist without any grant money and remember, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission or you're chancing to lose the creative pace🤠. Just make a thick slurry rub it on with gloves , brush, scrub wipe with your wife's buff puff, whatever works best to preserve the specimen. Don't worry about the throw away consumer products made by industrial machines. Focus on the 7,000 y.o. hand crafted Historical Artifacts. If you're not familiar with diatomaceous, take an hour to read about it and what it is and how to work/ handle it and store it. It's natural , amazing stuff with many applications. But can be harmful if you're stupid. But man does it put a nice polish down. Make a slurry with it using a little "iron off" for those oxidation projects. And definitely don't give back any commandeered hygiene products, they are now unusable for their intended manufactured purpose..ohhhhh and one more thing....👨🏻‍🦳 good luck, we're all counting on you.
