I grew up in the Texas panhandle area, lived with grandparents on there farm, where NA artifacts were commonly plowed up. My Grandmother lined a small garden out front with metate stones. She also kept a cigar box that was full of points...i used to play with them. I did found a few and always wanted that box! Time passed and things changed, went to war, but somehow, my parents kept a couple of points that I had found back then...still have them and display them with spiritual pride...It must be heaven just to sort thru your collections, not to mention their discovery! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Awesome video! I'm a big fan of tools, I actually like them more then I do regular points. I am actually one of those guys that would be perfectly happy having a collection solely of tools ie scrappers, adz's, nutting stones, flint celts, and the like. Thanks for the video Richard! Klintworth (Otepgod)
Very good finds, my first projtile point was in 1968. And still hunt them to this day. But you have a million more and better stuff than I. You are blessed with artifacts.
Awesome collection! I just found your channel which is hard to believe for me as much as I look at Arrowhead hunting videos. We gave you a subscription and good luck with the channel 👍👍👍
Hell, Your house is a museum man! you should charge admission to see all that great stuff! An absolute jaw dropping collection.You should be very proud of all the luck you have had over the years. I love your videos they are very entertaining, keep up the good work.🏹
Your are my new everyday hero! I am down south of ya in NW Arkansas and have relic hunted for twenty plus years. I am blown away at the volume of relics you have collected in such a short time. I have enjoyed your videos very much. Thanks for sharing! You keep on keeping on Richard!
Just an incrediable collection that you have assembled there Richard. Alot of time energy miles and DEVOTION put into that vast collection there. Richard I am sure that you would make a great whitetail shed hunter and finder too. I also bet that you found miore than a few of those too while out there. Thanks so much for sharing it all with all of us.
I love seeing ancient artifact tools gives me insight as to how the indigenous people lived day to day the things they needed them for like to dig herbs and tubers it's simply fantastic that people save the tools that's a part of the history too I'd rather find the tool sometimes than an arrowhead but each to his own beautiful collection Richard 😍✝️✝️✝️
I'm a new subscriber. I am simply amazed you have the most impressive collection I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. thanks for the wonderful videos. please keep it up
I love your videos. I found my first tool last year and have been on the hunt since. Planning on going out soon to record my first video. Thank you for sharing. You have such cute puppies!
This is the FIRST video, ive ever seen that looks like our house, except most of our stuff is Fossils , Dinos, some Crystals and some Artifacts! We Love it!
Great collection , hope you are keeping track of where the objects were found so if in near future some one may need to study he or she will start with something . Great man
Damn, I've been hunting for almost 16 years now. I couldn't even fill that table with EVERYTHING I have. That has to be the largest collection I've ever seen. I'm jealous to say the least.
My buddy and I must be doing it all wrong. A year of hunting and combined we've found one pottery sherd and one flake (and he found them both). 😐 I'm jealous... We still love going out hunting, though.
i know you relic hunt...but have you run up on any chert deposits along your travels you could maybe share along..im from st.louis...and head towards bennit springs area....ozarks...for knappin mareials..gee you do have a impressive collection of artifacts...
just think if you would have started collecting artifacts as a kid,you would have to build a castle to hold it all.lol damn you gota lot of cool stuff.just unreal. bigest collection found by one man i have ever seen!!
YOU HAVE A GREAT COLLECTION.NICE JOB.ARROWHEADS ARE FUN TO FIND.I LIKE FINDING THEM TOO.I LIKE FINDING SHARKTEETH MUCH MORE.SPECIALLYBTHE MEGALODON TEETH.I HAVE A BIG COLLECTION.
Oh and Richard if you ever want to fewer your collection I would be glad to purchase some of your collection I need a coupe good heads and strikers in my Collection
Native Americans were so prolific in creating artifacts. I've found a bunch of Native American artifacts in my own backyard, which used to be a pond in another era, too. Almost everyday, I'll find something. It's a four-lot yard.
I am a decent of the chepoussa tribe, known as the black river people. there was an estimated ten thousand of us. we nearly disappeared. my ancestors, mixed into the chicasha, all thats left now is the Chickasaw in Oklahoma. my direct ancestor, could have made those. we were there with the dinosaurs. we were removed, by Jackson's 1830, Indian removal act.
I missed this video ,saw it on someone's favorite list. Your channel is hard to keep up with, if you don"t watch every day, you will miss something!!!! Only 11 years, WOW. Is that every day for 11 years? Don"t get me wrong, but its nice seeing the other tools, not just the whole points. That red eccentric looks like a fish hook. Nice "pack" of dogs. I had a couple of Boson Terriors, I always thought a cross between a Pug and a Boston T. would make a nice new breed, call it a Boston Pug!!
What a neat video and I never seen so many rocks\artifacts in one place! Really neat fun collection! I need help to identify an artifact ock I just made a video for.
Love the videos! I have been following your channel for a while . Imagine my surprise when I found out your last name! It blew me away! Often wonder if we are related? Have a good one. Tell the family hello! Heath
That doorknob you held in the beginning is a fossil femur ball, possible mammoth from the size. You should get it checked out if you haven’t already. SCORE
hey Rich I watch your video of you showing your collection and my opinion towards the end is that tool or "toy" as you called it; I think it is a fish hook or some sort of gaff
Is all that collection from the same area? Whats impressive is the amount of artifacts your finding on the ground. Id think that the native peoples would have found the tools on the ground as your doing and reused them. Very interesting..How many native people were in that area? Different tribes converging in a certain hunting area or one single group?
Hey absolutely awesome I would love a scraper or an unwanted tool also I'd even pay for shipping I'd love an artifact from the cucumber I watch u dig ther alot in fact I sent u several messages on other vids but not sure if you read them yet and I want to meet you and maybe one day go up there and go on a dig with you I live way down in south Louisiana and I just started artifact hunting about a year ago guy cuccio has been a huge help to me getting started in the hobby but I would like an adve
its hard to believe u been only hunting 4 11year, that looks like uv been hunting 4 alifetime, that is a huge collection of different things we think the one at 9:32 maybe a fish hook or a threading needle the one at :41 looks like a door knob lol..
If u have any brokes laying around that you dont have a use for or just taking up space i knap the best i can for a 15 year old and also like to rework brokes when i have them
Hi Rich... Is there ANY arrowhead/spear tips or tools of any kind left up there in Mizzou? (sorry if I got your state wrong but I think that's where I read you were from) Anyway, if there are any left , you must have not looked there yet! 😀 I spent all of my childhood, daylight to dark, always building forks and camping in them, going from Bird huntin' w/ my Red Rider, to squirrell w/my .22 to Deer huntn' through the entire season here in AL.. Anyway, I love to stalk hunt taking it very serious because, at least here, it's become somewhat of a lost art. (although, including my 1st deer, 196lb 8pt on the 2nd day of my first deer hunt on 12/27/86 @ 7:06am) I can say to all the stand hunting purists, out of the Many deer I've killed, 85% were killed stalking w/o the deer seing me. Now, as I've gotten older, I've missed my chance w/a lot of deer because I have my head down looking in good spots for arrowhead. I've found a handful of arrowhead in my life but it was always just finding one while kickin' around some rocks. I would really like to hunt for them here. durring the off season but, other than creek washouts, etc, I don't know where to look.?.?.?
Awesome pieces! If you want to get rid of a good scraper, send one my direction. I would be a proud owner of a legendary RichardsRockhouse piece! Much respect! :)
One of the cool things about a relic collection is you can get excited everytime you look at it!
Outstanding ! I've never seen so many artifacts in one guys collection !! You have definitely got one awesome site to get your artifacts from..✌️

I think a long fine Nebo Hill is one of the most ELEGANT ancient forms.
Your are my new everyday hero! I am down south of ya in NW Arkansas and have relic hunted for twenty plus years. I am blown away at the volume of relics you have collected in such a short time. I have enjoyed your videos very much. Thanks for sharing! You keep on keeping on Richard!

looks like the deer antler tips are pressure flakers and the "batons" are billets for percussion flaking

Richard you have an amazing collection the number of tools you find is incredible hope all is well and I wish you luck in the future. RG 08
Mabey what everyone is calling a fishhook is a earring or lip ring. Very nice collection and best of luck in the future
This is really neat! I recently received a collection from a close friends and I did a video on it, but it's nothing close to what you got!
Damn, I've been hunting for almost 16 years now. I couldn't even fill that table with EVERYTHING I have. That has to be the largest collection I've ever seen. I'm jealous to say the least.
My buddy and I must be doing it all wrong. A year of hunting and combined we've found one pottery sherd and one flake (and he found them both). 😐 I'm jealous... We still love going out hunting, though.

Hey I am new to collecting arrowheads any tips or advice is awesome.
at 9:25 do you think that could be a fish hook? Awesome collection!

OH MY GOD amazing collection!!!!!
That doorknob you held in the beginning is a fossil femur ball, possible mammoth from the size. You should get it checked out if you haven’t already. SCORE
Richard the one that you showed in your case the bone that looks like a boomerang I think that might be a rib bone very nice 👍✝️✝️✝️
Beautiful.
Very nice fidings :-) Would you sell maybe 2-3 of them? thanks a lot!
dude holy crapp I only got a few but it would be sweet to squire a collection like your from hunting dude ur awsome
Nice collection
Very nice arrowheads. We find, chert, white quartz and obsidian here in NC.
thank you
Yes sir.
I hate you..... No, seriously, great collection. The Cucumber must be awesome.
You are the swami when it comes to arrowheads.
hey Rich I watch your video of you showing your collection and my opinion towards the end is that tool or "toy" as you called it; I think it is a fish hook or some sort of gaff
what a collection!
That one curved oddity is called a hafted shaft scraper around here, I got one just like it from Ohio
Now I know why its hard to find arrowheads, you got em all! sweet
Is all that collection from the same area? Whats impressive is the amount of artifacts your finding on the ground. Id think that the native peoples would have found the tools on the ground as your doing and reused them. Very interesting..How many native people were in that area? Different tribes converging in a certain hunting area or one single group?
A labor of love my friend!
Geez! I think you took all of Missouri's arrowhead!
I might be interested in some of the less expensiveness tools.
They show how violent the end was for the people .
Hey absolutely awesome I would love a scraper or an unwanted tool also I'd even pay for shipping I'd love an artifact from the cucumber I watch u dig ther alot in fact I sent u several messages on other vids but not sure if you read them yet and I want to meet you and maybe one day go up there and go on a dig with you I live way down in south Louisiana and I just started artifact hunting about a year ago guy cuccio has been a huge help to me getting started in the hobby but I would like an adve
Have you considered that you have quite a few fossil bone fragment that belong to that mastodon/mammoth tooth fragment? Just sayin.
massive sweet collection
That's a fishing hook. The one you said must be a toy. And, you can tie a string on the tip and swing it out in the water.
nice collection richard.
Then I saw your table! holy moly! This is a dream
Richard this is mad mountain Jack and I would love to have a good scraper I've got a whole plaque full of them too ✝️✝️✝️
I love tools!! Very nice richard
its hard to believe u been only hunting 4 11year, that looks like uv been hunting 4 alifetime, that is a huge collection of different things we think the one at 9:32 maybe a fish hook or a threading needle the one at :41 looks like a door knob lol..
at 9:19 maybe that was a sewing needle they used to make their close with! :)
do you have the locations where you found everything? Looks like you are digging around a major site.
If u have any brokes laying around that you dont have a use for or just taking up space i knap the best i can for a 15 year old and also like to rework brokes when i have them
Kudos to her Arrowhead frames very nice 👍✝️✝️✝️

Chris Liddell 98% of what you wrote is totally irrelevant.
Great stuff
I love the tools .
Yep... had to watch this again...
Klintworth
Have you found any pieces you put together and had it whole again?
Awesome pieces! If you want to get rid of a good scraper, send one my direction. I would be a proud owner of a legendary RichardsRockhouse piece! Much respect! :)
Looks like you can now open your own Indian museum. Really nice stuff.
nice find's !!!
