Awesome Indian Artifacts Part 1!

[@keithcarawan4076]

Great vid. I met Mr. Pritchard this past spring relic hunting. Very interesting gentleman. He wanted to take a look at full groove axe that I had found. I need to invite him to coffee, no doubt he could tell me all about it.

[@Gigmaster]

Keith Carawan most definitely!

[@Gigmaster]

Call me!

[@andriidubinin955]

Thank you to the owner Mr. Pritchard for sharing this amazing collection and his knowledge... 👍👍👍

[@nelsonx5326]

I found a Clovis arrowhead near my house in Virginia by a creek that leads to the Potomac River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. I wasn't looking for Indian artifacts, I had never looked for them, I just happened to see it. I was so happy when I found it. But check this out, I'm in NYC now and I found 2 artifacts in the city looking at piles of dirt from Con Ed power company or whatextremely

[@denaredford6701]

Beautiful collection . Rare collection .

[@tommygreist9560]

Amazing.....I can remember every spot each piece was found too. No axes here

[@DAiken-jz1iu]

Being Native American, I found this video most interesting. I live in Ontario along the St. Clair River. I have seen a few of these hammers found in the area. Great video!

[@Gigmaster]

Thank you for joining us on this adventure.

[@ArtifactRescues]

So many hardstones, incredible collection.

[@dannyhousley6971]

Very very nice collection thanks for sharing with us.

[@adrianjosephbustle7265]

Amazing collection!

[@Patriot1777]

Loved all the videos!!!

[@andyhawkins5463]

Beautiful! Still looking for my first.....

[@kevimc]

excellent Steve; some really amazing finds; a musuem would love those old artifacts

[@Gigmaster]

At least this way people that would never get to see these amazing relics get to view them!

[@kevimc]

amen; Steve you are doing us a service; awesome

[@marcosbicelli906]

Achei muito interessante este vídeo sou um apaixonado por artefatos de pedras de antigos povos. Moro no Brasil na Amazônia e tenho uma coleção e são muito parecidas com essas do vídeo.

[@douglashill4677]

My family has been in Suffolk for many generations. Along the white marsh road. Nice to see.

[@eddiewiercioch777]

The farmer said just fill the hole in! You Gotta be kidding me? LOL

[@robertholmes852]

Great collection i wish I had a few like that

[@eddiewiercioch777]

The farmer said, just filled a hole in! You got to be kidding me? LOL

[@paulmiddleton4215]

i found an axe head in 1965 on the island near Keyesport, Illinois Carlyle Lake. i ended up giving to my family doctor who was an avid collector. upon a party trip to the island in 1985 i found an almost perfect whitish flint spear point 7 inches long, with just a small amount of point broke off.

[@zjoesmoe2670]

So cool thank you

[@MicheleLawson-m9t]

First time watching. I have an area on the Connecticut river in new hampshire wear I have found almost 200 different stone artifacts. I wish I had someone to identify for me

[@martinsteiner8287]

Respect! Heavy massive beautifull axes! And a lot. In Northern Germany is not easy to find big ones! Enjoy them everday. Maybe together with a good whisky! Thank you for the film!

[@coffeync]

Huge axe? Consider plow.

[@Chief2Moon]

We find these in Ohio too. Nice stuff! Most of my old stomping grounds are no-till farms or built over nowdays, but sometimes still get lucky along riverbanks.

[@nicoleswain4891]

Wow! I’m just getting started I suppose

[@karsonhill8240]

Awesome

[@donaldbelobraydic9996]

Too good to be true.. Guess he's getting good at making stone tools.

[@robertbray7855]

I watch you metal detector video’s and was surprised to see you were into stone artifacts. I recently found an old stone ax and didn’t realize it’s age.

[@davidgriffiths2069]

Are these hand axes? If not how was the handle attached? Thanks

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Love this! Thanks for posting!

[@ClayColvin-r8j]

That many axe heads is hard to even imagine they are few and far between here in Clark County IN. Congrats

[@HambonesAdventures]

absolute beautiful

[@primitiveprojectilesandrel6074]

dream find is an axe head no wonder i cant find one lol mr pritchards got em all ;] great share

[@christianarcheologyarrowhe2200]

[@johnf6262]

``Such an Awesome Wealth of Knowledge.`` ``Mr. Pritchards ``,,, ``Thank You for Remembering !!!! `` GODspeed Sir !!! `` You Are A Giant Blessing `` ***cheers*** =)

[@smug8567]

When i bought my first pair of Allen Edmond's about 4 years ago now i was a bit sick to the stomach with spending $400 on shoes, never had spent that much before.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Man this video ended too abruptly, I was ready for more. Tell Mr. Pritchard thanks. Thank you as well. Ready for the follow-up video.

[@Gigmaster]

More to come!

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Nice looking collection. 👍

[@The09po0]

Now I know why I can't find one of these. He found then all lol

[@mikesanders1732]

I have a rock that is about a time and a half bigger then a silver dollar that has fine groves and notches carved into it! Can you tell me how to present it and maybe find out a little bit about it!

[@Gigmaster]

Indian for sure!

[@michelemartin1893]

Two thumbs up

[@waxhawcreek1717]

More of these vids please

[@Gigmaster]

You got it!

[@nabriakinney]

@@Gigmaster i love how excited you get! post more!

[@creightonworkman5531]

Thank you very much for doing this video. thanks to the owner as well. Happy hunting!

[@themama3633]

I’ve recently found figures and animals in that granite. Has anyone here found anything like this?

[@vickielewallen3799]

I have one of those. Unfortunately, mine was made with a modern grinder or some modern tool. 🤣

[@LongBinh70]

With that many axeheads in a relatively small area, could that area have been the site of an ancient battle?

[@TheKittenKing]

i cant imagine native americans leaving behind large tools that take weeks to make. my guess is when dwellings were raided by other tribes they hid or buried their valuables. another possibility could be European involvement. If an Indian camp was attacked they would abandon extra heavy tools and or lose them in battle. Europeans probably would just leave their tools thinking they were inferior or not even realize they weren't just stones.

[@coffeync]

Huge ones are probably plows

[@timmycowie9612]

You say you found them on farms I am from Canada Newbrunswick and I have collected alot of tools nothing like you have but I see alot of carvings to me here I believe it was the Northmen I thought it was Native at first until I found so many ruin stones and they were well noing for carving. Rocks they used them for breaking bones for the Marrow

[@ivomihailov370]

Life well spent

[@juliolopez-ih4fz]

Look at this one

[@zoesdada8923]

I'll bet artifact hunting was a different thing all together back in the early 1900s.

[@watto649]

What is Mr. Pritchards first name and what state does he live?

[@lancefall4811]

I'm surprised that you never questioned the size of the people who used these massive and over sized tools. The Mound Giants ?

[@coffeync]

Plows, not axes

[@theyarddogs4100]

Does he make his like the guy does? Thanks Carl

[@nancyfrances344]

What state?

[@Gigmaster]

Va

[@theyarddogs4100]

I was asking does he document them like the other guy. Thanks Carl

[@Gigmaster]

Yes, he does have a system he uses. I will get that info on a future video.

[@brendanokeefemusic-]

The large “ax heads” look more like fishing weights

[@leoniesewell5587]

I was under the impression that you were not allowed to remove Indian Artifacts from the land ? Am I wrong?

[@jasonmuir2925]

Anything goes on private property. Most of these are found on farms.

[@joemarshall2508]

Those things are huge i think those were used buy giants c ant imagine swinging one of those things

[@timsager6153]

My buddy has an ax head with th original handle

[@saelot665]

Don't think that all stones must bé cuting tool

[@bikramorang8745]

I have a stone

[@BrianSmith-gp9xr]

Did they beat a tree to death down? Looks more like a head basher.

[@ArmedPatriot]

I bet that old man bout had a heart attack watching you grab everything

[@onenewworldmonkey]

I am Native American because I was born here, not because I have any Indian in me. I understand not liking "Indian", but don't take my name.

[@treyn-hv4ye]

shut up 😂

[@ДенисГейкин]

Hello, mister. I'm Denis from Russia. I'm a collector, too. But we do not find such stone axes. Could you sell me at least the most insignificant copy for you ?

[@Gigmaster]

Not mine. He does not sell anything. Take care

[@brianballa3086]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice job thinks for sharing with us weeeeeeeeeee

[@joshchandler6985]

It does not take days upon days to make. A stone axe. I can do it in a day prolly less

[@favellmuseum4157]

Check out the Favell Museum :)

[@tkComputerService]

Everyone thinks these are axes, they're not. They are plows. That's what the notches are for, to keep them from pulling-out of their frames and why they are ground so smooth, that keeps the dirt from sticking to them. Stone axes don't need to be so smooth or heavy. Also, why you find them in Fields that are being plowed today. The same Fields were being plowed thousands of years ago. Notice they all are of similar depth or length. If you plant too deep the seedlings will die before they break out of the soil. Also, why you find so many arrow-heads in fields, not because they are plowed, but because the plants attract dear and other huntable game. The Ancients were old not stupid & yes they were much larger than we are today. Their nutrition far exceeded ours.

[@Gigmaster]

Good info

[@Gigmaster]

Makes sense why they are found (and lost) in the fields.

[@ericschmuecker5573]

Nope. Axes. Average size people. Poor nutrition. A Hoe is what you are thinking of for plowing. Similar but different. Find them where they lived. Along rivers and bottom lands. Farm fields today.

[@tkComputerService]

@@ericschmuecker5573 Could be, I don't claim abosulte truth about anything. ...and I am them People. My Great Grandad was a way bigger than the average person, so was my Uncle. Stories go way back as to the size of Us and other Tribes. The Cherokee were even much larger than today. But, like I said, even if I see I still don't have the arrogance to say I understand it totally. That's what makes life fun.

[@سردارسورجي-ح2ي]

🔪🍠🔥👍😜

[@DIRTYDOGDIGGERS]

This is so interesting I LOVE IT. I do BARK OUTS AKA (shout outs) with a twist on my CHANNEL. Did one for you it's titled BARK OUT#4 SNOW WHAT? HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

[@JohnWBooth-pk6bu]

Is this Cherokee artifacts? I know a guy that has a huge Chickasaw indian artifact collection. He has a lot of the same stuff thats in this video.

[@heavymetalredneck7973]

This guy needs to handle the artifacts with more caution! I'd shit a brick if someone snatched one of my rocks up fast and then have it balanced on a couple of fingers 😡😡😡😡 those axes are probably closer to the 8000 yr old or older range and should be handled with care..... Good video but slow down while switching from one ax to the next! I bet the owner was nervous as hell with the guy snatching the axes up like they were running from him! Smh

[@dawnatilla2469]

The people in your house are very rude

[@jeremycummings5375]

Looters

[@texasviking1]

Don’t be hating just because you can’t find stuff like this.

[@albundy9597]

Why can't Americans remain professional, all this shouting, OMG just look at all these axe heads jeez, etc.

[@texasviking1]

I bet you’re lots of fun at party’s.
