The two holed drilled one at around 3:24 reminds me of a banner stone/Gorget. Really fun seeing your entire collection what a cool hobby your family had.
@@user-ed9xi7qs4z Not sure why that piece was drilled. One field we searched had a lot of pottery pieces about that size but that was the only one I found that was drilled like that. Thanks for watching!
That’s an amazing collection, love the fact it’s all family found! There’s not too many of those kinda collections that have stood the test of time, just went to a big auction last April for a collection that have points dated back to 1922 and even said while sewing oats!
Thanks very much. So far neither of the kids have any interest in them but hopefully someday. My Grandfather got me interested in artifacts when I was very young.
That is a fine collection with a long family history to enjoy. I used to live in Bridgeton and wish I had developed an interest in artifacts before I moved to the high desert in NM.
Bridgeton? You know our area well then! We took a trip to Arizona last year. I love it out there. Would move out there today if I could talk my family into it. Thanks for watching!
The small pottery bowl (broken) is a "paint pot" used to mix, apply colors, usually "ochre" which is ground limonite and hematite. The triangle point is a madison or Hopewell and is relatively young. At 10:15, the curly item is the internal cast of a fossil snail.
Thanks. We used to find those curly things on one farm that I searched. Found many of them but most were broken. I found that they were mostly just sand. You could crush it into sand pretty easily. The people that owned the farm believed it was fused sand that was hit by lightening. I never knew for sure. Thanks for watching.
@@2manyhobbies971 I have collected "fulgarites" which are made when lightening strikes sand. They are relatively long (several inches) and have a smooth interior where the sand has been fused to glass and the outside is regular sand. I found them in sand dunes along Lake Michigan when I was young. They look very different! I am a geologist and have training in fossils and have collected fossils for about 65 years! I'm old I guess. If you get a chance, look up turritella gastropods. I believe that they are Paleozoic in age.
Artifact on minute 9 also seems to be an adz in my opinion. Axes, Celts, Adzs, were all used for chopping. The celts and axes were swung and used like we use an axe today while the adz was used to chop in a method more similar to how we use a garden hoe and is the older style of these tools.
I believe that first piece you found was for sewing. Making a hole, pushing the string through and cutting the string. I could be wrong but Clegg found one recently! Cheers! Great collection man!!
Really enjoyed watching your video. I collect fossils in the Mazon Creek area in Illinois. I live near an ancient Indian trailway but have only found old homestead items, crock, pipes, broken china and horse tack. Your family has a beautiful collection of history.
The artifact around minute 4 is an adz. The bit of a celt has 2 symmetrical angles that meet at the center with the sharp "bit" part. With an adz, one polished side is almost completely flat and the opposite side has most of the beveled angle leading into the bit.
What a great multi generational collection, too cool 😎! First hardstone looks like a classic Celt. How often do you get out to look? Extroidinary hardstone looks like a hafted Celt, lots of wood working tools around there, thanks for sharing a very nice collection!
greatbasinman Wow! Thanks for the info. I’m a big fan of yours. Love the stuff you find out there! I don’t get to look as often as I’d like but still searching when I can.
Great collection. I think that the first black piece that you asked about is a millions of year old shark tooth. I'm from southwest VA. and for years now my family has vacationed in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and as a kid 10-12 years old I would watch senior citizens walk with their eyes focused straight down. Well curiosity got the best of me and I asked. They told me that they were looking for the blackest, shiny thing on the beach and that's what they were. You could see them in the beach shops telling you all about them. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. Check out shark teeth photos.
These are awesome man. Do you know anything about prehistoric clay pottery? I've found what I believe to be a site near my home in Essex County, NJ and would love to shoot an expert some pictures
Connor Wills Hello! Thanks for watching. I’m a long way from being an expert. Most of the pottery that I have found that is Native American has some type of design on it. Most from our area has what looks like a corn cob was rolled on it when it was soft. I have been told that any pottery that has a “glazed” interior is most likely from European decent and is not “Indian”. Sorry I’m not more helpful.
Appreciate it man! I found a beauty today that looks like straight clay with dark paint worn away or maybe burn marks. Stoked to keep at it, especially after we get a bit of rain tomorrow morning to bring some goodies to the surface ;-)
You should go to the Bridgeton Nj Library. There is a huge huge documented collection there and also a museum in Greenwich. All of those pieces are in both locations and have tags to tell you what they were.
I’ve been the the Woodruff collection at the library several times! They have some awesome pieces in there. I love that lizard that is made of flint they have.
Most of what I found were on a farm where my father worked near the Delaware Bridge in Deepwater. That farm has since been sold and I no longer have permission to hunt there. I have considered stopping and asking if they’d allow me to search for a fee. It was at the end of Haynes Neck road at 540 if you know the area.
@@2manyhobbies971 Catalano farms. My family farms in Lower Alloways Creek. I actually used to work for Catalano myself. Show me how and I have the ground to hunt. I'd say good ground as it's near water. I live in Mannington off Rt 45
@@2manyhobbies971 And by the way I'm not a creep or wierdo. I hunt and fish Im assuming just like u. Just want to find arrowheads as I'm sure there are tons of them. My old man found tons of them on the farm. I've been told you'll find alot around Creeks and bodies of water
@@dhooter You’re in the right neighborhood. Catalano, Spina brothers, and Nicolosi farms all right there together. I agree with staying close to the water. You can get lucky and find something anywhere but I always found the most near the canal behind those farms.
Get in touch with Archaeologist Jack Cresson! Jack is extremely knowledgeable about Indian artifacts especially arrowheads trust me when I tell you! Also he is a great guy as well!! ✌️✌️✌️
Good evening. Just watched your video. Very nice pieces. Im up here on the delaware river in Bristol. If you still need idemtification on stuff let me know. Iv got a book of arrowhead identification for all acrossed the area. I even flint knapp so I use pieces i found along with the book to make my own points.
I’ve got most of him figured out but thanks. You should post a video of some of the things you’ve made. I’d love to see how it’s done. Thanks for watching!
6:15 is Argillite Keep the best sell the rest. As an artifact hunter and a member of a mineral society, archeological society and historical society I can tell you countless stories of people who inherited collections and were just threw them away because the heirs were 1. clueless as to what they inherited or 2. the the collection was too overwhelming and they were ignorant as to which pieces were rare and which were commoner.
Beautiful collection. Many of your points are atlatl dart points and or hafted knives with some drills and scrapers as well. Some of the grooved axes are actually mauls and hammer like tools. Also most chipped tools were utilitarian and meant to do a job and not be attractive such as scrapers, drills, reamers etc. Because many chipped stone tools could have more than one function archaeologists' simply call them "Bifaces" meaning chipped on two sides. Anyway, nice presentation.! Thank you!
Thanks for watching my video. I’m glad to see that even an expert enjoyed it. I watch videos from a guy out West (Greatbasinman) who finds atlatl parts. He calls them spurs or “snakeheads”. It makes me wonder if they were ever used here. I could have picked one up and threw back into the dirt not knowing what it was. I’ve learned a lot but like many things, it just make me realize how much I still don’t know!
You have an impressive collection I live in south Jersey and I have been point hunting for 25 years. congratulations their beautiful I cant imagine how many hours it took to build this collection
@JulyFishy392 if you walk along the Delaware River lenni Lenape Indians live for thousands of years on the banks and creeks of the river, you need to train your eye to fine artifacts take your time, and you will find something, but you need to research
@@Frostyfarmer420 Thank you. Im taking a trip with my girlfriend to Cape May next week. Im gonna try a few quieter beaches along the Delaware bay. Ill let you know if I find anything
An idea.... Tag them Where found. Otherwise they go in a box like clay pipes, and they are close to useless (as they could be from anywhere). Identified though they can be passed on or later donated and the History isn't erased. A thought on responsible amateur historian collecting. Great collection
Good idea. I normally keep them in different boxes so I know who found them but should probably mark them better than I do so the kids will know where they came from. Thanks for watching.
A lot of the reason that older farmers and people of older eras found cool stuff was because the plows they used they walked behind if they were horse-drawn nowadays everyone's up on a tractor with the implements behind them
used to belong to the New Jersey Archeological Society. So one meeting was a "bring it in show and tell" this young girl brings in a highly polished full grooved axe that had to be a foot long, just stunning. It was found by her grandfather who was plowing his farm near Camden with his mule when he popped it up. Also you might want to pick up 2 books "Forgotten towns of south new jersey" and "more forgotten towns of southern new jersey" and excellent guide for relic, bottle hunters and metal detector folks
ya my old relic hunting buddy and I joined the Society to snoop on where to look for points. over the years all our best fields were turned into developments, our primo spot became a dentists office. South jersey is relatively flat so driving down a road we'd look for a "frogs fart" worth of dirt which made a little mound to check out. The 1st indication we were on a site was the presence of fire cracked rock, usually grey, a rock you could fit in the palm of your hand that was angular and not smooth like a pebble. Every year the same fields would turn up new stuff. the 2 books I mentions can be bought on amazon for next to nothing and are an absolute gold mine of tips and information. Just be super careful out there you biggest concern should be ticks and Hogweed. ticks can f you up bad a new tick disease causes inflammation of the brain and hogweed will blister you up til your hospital bound and lasts for years
babyrazor ticks have been awful around here for the last few years. Chiggers are pretty bad too. We had very few of either when I was a kid but lately..... they say the two counties near my home have the highest rate of Lymes in the nation. It’s a shame .
I live in Bucks county we're the epicenter of the new Brain inflammatory tick borne virus which would make you wish you'd gotten lymes instead. This is why I've stopped metal detecting until after the first frost. and though we're the center of this it is also state wide for the east coast.
I hunted Medford Woodbury Camden Co.Burlington Co Gloucester Co.from 1969 to 1990 my collection is as nice as yours ,all those sites are now condos, houses found a lot of points in Cherry Hill .. Woodcrest section in the 70's now retired and moved to Eastern Tennessee packed the collection up.even back in the 70's Axes were hard to find. Go to a book store and ask for Overstreet arrowhead identification book it will show you the type of points you have and the age ,most look to be 3,000 to 2,500 B.C.That one piece is a Celt it was used for canoe making and probably found water ,creek near the farm ?
Hello! Thanks for the tips. I’ll have to get that book and see what we have. Most of Jersey is pretty built up with the exception of Cumberland and Salem counties. Still pretty nice here but there is nowhere to work. I’ve been driving to Delaware for 35 years. Can’t have everything I guess.
@@2manyhobbies971 HI Walt here, if you want to see a INSANE collection, 25,000 pieces go to the Bridgeton Public Library, from the Salem Co. Area,that's what got me hooked looking for Indian Artifacts, like you I never found any axes,but I have axes in my collection from estate sales!
Walter Glowacki I’ve been there! It’s 10 miles or less from home. Woodruff collection I believe. They have some awesome artifacts. My favorite is a small lizard flaked from what I call flint. It may actually be jasper. Just a really cool piece if you remember it.
I'M INTERESTED IN FINDING MORE AND MORE ARROWHEADS, AS MANY AS I CAN GET. THIS VIDEO IS SO UNIQUE AND AWESOME,THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT,I APPRECIATE IT,THANK YOU.💝🖒
buy 2 books from amazon, Forgotten towns of South Jersey and More forgotten towns of South Jersey. Written in the 30's they're full of tips on finding places to look
@R Bray Back in the 70's 80's Brian and I were antique bottle and Native American artifact hunters and used those books as guides of where to hunt. we found tons of stuff. When Brian passed his wife sold the antique bottle he found at auction for $34,000 which was a fortune back in the 90's. Some of the bottle we found, when looked up in reference books, were listed as "no know specimen is known to exist"
@R Bray 80-90 % of the most valuable bottle were "only know sample to exist" were beer bottles. and most of those came out of a dump in Germantown Philadelphia. It originally was a quarry whose stone was used to build colonial structures. Then it was used and filled in with ash and trash during the 1800's. I'm 72 now with bad legs my bottle days are over. Babyrazor@yahoo.com is my email if you live near Philly and send me an email I can send you a map of its location I doubt we dug out 1% of that place. Be careful of ash cave ins so dig with a buddy.
@R Bray we found some nice Indian finds back around Medford before it got all built up. got a nice full grooved black polished axe, some nice ancient bifurcated base points and one large point that has a crack in the middle running length wise filled with tiny crystals. we liked hunting Jersey, sandy fields, easy ta spot em. The bottle Brian made the most on were old "no know samples known to exist" from a dump in Philadelphia from the early 1800's. The dump is still there, we hardly touched the surface. I don't think we touched 1% of it.
If you have facebook check oit the pa. rocks artifact group. Its not just pa. Alot of people from the area. A friend started the group. Hope to see you in the group.
Really nice poplar island points. Really nice susquahanna broads. Fox creek points. The black one you mention is made of argillite that comes from the area just above trenton. The big axe type that you showed before the big grooved axe that hadall of the polish area on the 1 side it would of been hafted into a handle like a hoe or pick axe to dig out the inside of a dug out canoe after they chard the inside the chip out the char before repeating the process
U'RE VERY WELCOME MR. DUSTY CLARK, I JUST LOVE ARROWHEADS AND ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH ARTIFACTS AND INDIANS AND HOW THEY LIVED THEIR LIVES YA,KNOW? AND I APPRECIATE YOU, MR DUSTY CLARK,🖒🖒🖒🖒!!!!
we used to be members of the south jersey archeology society, one meeting they had a show and tell, this girl brings in a jet black high polished full grooved axe that had to be a foot long, a monster, her grandfather was plowing with his mule near Camden when the plow kicked it up...not a scratch on it.
@@2manyhobbies971 you should try poking around with a probe, I've never used one but I think it would be find some awesome stuff for you, work in small grid patterns so to be thorough.

buy 2 books from amazon, Forgotten towns of South Jersey and More forgotten towns of South Jersey. Written in the 30's they're full of tips on finding places to look
@R Bray Back in the 70's 80's Brian and I were antique bottle and Native American artifact hunters and used those books as guides of where to hunt. we found tons of stuff. When Brian passed his wife sold the antique bottle he found at auction for $34,000 which was a fortune back in the 90's. Some of the bottle we found, when looked up in reference books, were listed as "no know specimen is known to exist"
@R Bray 80-90 % of the most valuable bottle were "only know sample to exist" were beer bottles. and most of those came out of a dump in Germantown Philadelphia. It originally was a quarry whose stone was used to build colonial structures. Then it was used and filled in with ash and trash during the 1800's. I'm 72 now with bad legs my bottle days are over. Babyrazor@yahoo.com is my email if you live near Philly and send me an email I can send you a map of its location I doubt we dug out 1% of that place. Be careful of ash cave ins so dig with a buddy.
@R Bray we found some nice Indian finds back around Medford before it got all built up. got a nice full grooved black polished axe, some nice ancient bifurcated base points and one large point that has a crack in the middle running length wise filled with tiny crystals. we liked hunting Jersey, sandy fields, easy ta spot em. The bottle Brian made the most on were old "no know samples known to exist" from a dump in Philadelphia from the early 1800's. The dump is still there, we hardly touched the surface. I don't think we touched 1% of it.
Do you have any effigies 😢😢😢
@@lesjones5684 I do not. Was never fortunate enough to find one.
the big smooth rock is an axe
LOVE THOSE AWESOME ARTIFACTS,VERY COOL.
Sharon Rowland Thanks very much. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
My great friend Sharon, you are sorely missed on your friend Coyote's channel and I am also very worried about you. Report my friend.
You have over 10,000 year separation on the points and tools. Clovis to 500 years ago
I just found a big arrowhead sandy hook nj
The first one you asked about is a fossilized shark tooth
That’s funny. It does look like a sharks tooth...
If you have facebook check oit the pa. rocks artifact group. Its not just pa. Alot of people from the area. A friend started the group. Hope to see you in the group.
I’m not on Facebook but my wife is. We’ll check you out. Thanks.
The tool at 8:30 may be a sander
I’ve been told that it is a hefted celt. Most likely used for digging out and finishing a canoe so you’re correct. Thanks for watching!
Interesting
I’m glad you thought so. Thanks for watching!
Looks like it was definitely broken I would say it's a Yadkin maybe 2,500 to 3000 years old to give or take
Great points and tools , let me know if you ever want to sell andy or do trades for some.
KEN SOLCH Thanks for watching! I could never part with them.
MR. DUSTY CLARK, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME EXACTLY HOW MANY ARTIFACTS U'VE GOT, PLEASE? I'D APPRECIATE IT,THANK YOU.
Really nice poplar island points. Really nice susquahanna broads. Fox creek points. The black one you mention is made of argillite that comes from the area just above trenton. The big axe type that you showed before the big grooved axe that hadall of the polish area on the 1 side it would of been hafted into a handle like a hoe or pick axe to dig out the inside of a dug out canoe after they chard the inside the chip out the char before repeating the process
I have a small collection that I got at a garage sale., Butler Lake NJ. Can I send you some photos? I have some interesting pisces
Absolutely.

U'VE A UNIQUE AND AWESOME COLLECTION OF ARROWHEADS, AND U'VE A UNIQUE AND FINE FAMILY TOO.💝🖒!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
found a killer discordial and a killer polished full grooved axe head down around Medford back before it got all built up. liked hunting S Jersey
There was some good stuff around back in the day. Thanks for watching!
we used to be members of the south jersey archeology society, one meeting they had a show and tell, this girl brings in a jet black high polished full grooved axe that had to be a foot long, a monster, her grandfather was plowing with his mule near Camden when the plow kicked it up...not a scratch on it.
I’ve seen them but don’t think I’ve heard of any locally. They are gorgeous. Once in a “many lifetime” thing there!
black and about the size of 2 checkers stacked one atop the other
@@babyrazor6887 I hunted South Jersey area 1969 1990,this collection now with me on Eastern Tennessee!
Definitely a celt
the "interesting piece" at 4:25 looks to be and adze. that looks very early and looks like it has stone age drawings on the front...
That one piece is for scraping meat off hides. My best guess
Mini celt
You got a few nice u need to grade them out and paper the best ones
Looks like a resharpened levanna point..
Terry Summers I had to look that up. I’ll bet you’re right. Thanks!
Celt it's a axe
To scrape Deer hides
Broken dart
Is there anyone that will tell me what my collections value is is
Celt
the reason yr not finding axe heads cause your grandpaw plowed with horses we dont go deep enough now days
Ah could be. I just figured they picked them all up already.
@@2manyhobbies971 you should try poking around with a probe, I've never used one but I think it would be find some awesome stuff for you, work in small grid patterns so to be thorough. I believe you will start to recognize the sounds different material makes when you tap on it, that's a guess but seems like a logical one to me. Good luck and thanks for sharing an amazing collection
Horse drawn plows didnt go very deep. They went just deep enough to turn the dirt over.
THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A SELT OR MIGHT BE A WOREN DOWN AXE .
Polishing stones
What do you polish with a rock? Another rock. What do you think Indians needed to polish?
Shark tooth
MR. DUSTY, THAT LOOKS LIKE AN WOREN DOWN DRILL.
Spent drill
Amazing! Would you share a spot with me?
Celt
