ANCIENT HUMAN or ANIMAL

[@davidking1005]

Really diggin your channel. That bone is the toe bone of a white tail deer. I've found many when rock hunting in Southern Illinois.

[@cleggsadventures]

David King Thanks for the info.👍 And thanks for watching .

[@eddielile7177]

So the bone is a hoof bone ? I am going to have to dissect one now and take a look!!!

[@shakascloset1700]

Sorry for the loss of your dog. I don't want to think of my best friends being gone. I love them so much.

[@cleggsadventures]

Thank You. It was hard, he was my best friend, always by my side. I can’t bring myself to get another

[@bluecrow3755]

I really like your idea on nutting stones. I live in oklahoma with lots of places to check. I researched an archeological dig near us. It is an overhang that they said was used for seasonal nut gathering . Fire pits and they think they heated up the nuts to get the nuts out easier. Lots of walnut, pecans,acorns. And hickory nuts. In the dig, only three poor nutting stones were found.. i think if it was for nuts, there would be a bunch of them at this spot. I agree with you 100%. I enjoy your videos, more than any other on the net!!! If you ever come to Oklahoma, holler and i could show you some cool places to look. We find lots of tiny bird points+ lots of other artifacts too.!!! Keep up the great videos!!!😊😊😊

[@cleggsadventures]

Much Appreciated

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Scott, I'm so sorry to hear about Duke! Having had bloodhounds myself, I know they are so full of personality. You found some beautiful points today, and your explanation of the nutting stones makes perfect sense to me!😊💖

[@cleggsadventures]

Cynthia Swearingen Thank you very much. He was a different dog, with me all the time. Still can’t believe he’s gone.

[@craiglittler3581]

Sorry you lost Duke-another excellent video

[@cleggsadventures]

Craig Littler Thank you very much.

[@davidrogers1622]

When this snow melts and if you ever want to. Come up to the monongahela. I’ve pin pointed a nice section that really needs a sifting. I haven’t yet but have found 2 pieces of flint on the surface. Thought I’d throw that out at you as it’s still in your range.

[@cleggsadventures]

I would if I had time. I work a lot and don’t get to go much.

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

sounds good on your nutting stone explanation. They certainly are a mystery

[@cleggsadventures]

Townsend Walton Yes they are. Thanks for watching 👍

[@wvdigrrr9509]

Nice day of digging bud. Sorry about you pal Duke...it's hard to say goodbye to a good ol dog!

[@cleggsadventures]

wvdigrrr Thank you, he was my best friend and one of a kind.

[@jayvanslayer2787]

looks like a saber cat bone. If you fins a saber cat fang, what a find!

[@scottnock5241]

Scott glad to see you back!! Very sorry to see you lost duke, it’s terrible!!! Sorry On the nutting stones, I agree about the billets, I also think the used them to round spears, dart and arrow shafts and the hand held ones used as the palm hold for bow drills.. I’m sure there’s more!!!!

[@cleggsadventures]

Scott Nock Thank you very much. Yes, the smaller handheld ones are definitely different, hard to tell what all they were used for.

[@howarddenney5331]

Nice theory on the nutting stones, makes sense. 👍

[@cleggsadventures]

Thanks Howard

[@a1971-d6d]

Thanks scott makes sense. Enjoyed the video.

[@cleggsadventures]

Thanks Very Much!👍

[@KevinHullinger]

Great channel I’m a new sub I have lots of videos to catch up on. Well done 👍🏻 I’m getting ready to start hunting again after taking a break for years. You motivated me 😉

[@cleggsadventures]

Thanks Kevin! Much Appreciated 👍 Hope you find a Nice One!

[@jessethornton5060]

Nice finds. Sorry about Duke. He will follow u in spirit I believe. A good dog never dies! Thanks for sharing

[@cleggsadventures]

jesse thornton Thank you for your kind words.❤️

[@normaferro4797]

So sorry to hear about Duke!! I know your sorrow. Good video!! Sweet finds.

[@cleggsadventures]

Norma Ferro Thank you so much ❤️

[@rebelliousbrands3253]

Love your channel!

[@cleggsadventures]

Thank you Much 👍

[@MINDSET4LIFE143]

Sorry about Duke, and that's the best explanation for nutting stones I've heard... Awesome stuff!

[@cleggsadventures]

chucky APP Thank you very much.

[@paulp1a]

You answered a question I had about the 1st point I've ever found in the Hudson valley of New York. At first I thought Atlanta dart point, but one edge is pressure flaked sharp and curved while the back is more straight and dull. The hafting area was ground well up to the ears. It's a knife blade! Thank u!!

[@cleggsadventures]

Right On! Yea, you can pick out those knife blades a lot of time, on how they’re shaped.

[@Brian-kj5vw]

Since hematite is iron ore have you tried putting a magnet on it to see if they stick and if they do you might be able to use a magnet in the field while you're trying to find the stuff it might help you

[@cleggsadventures]

@@Brian-kj5vw I have. Some sticks, some doesn’t

[@thequestforartifacts]

Was that Rocks new boat? Awesome finds, nice video as always....

[@williamarnett3234]

😂

[@cleggsadventures]

lol. I haven’t seen him go by for a while. Probably in the dump.

[@mikegraham2805]

Great finds Scott also appreciate the nutting stone theory.

[@cleggsadventures]

Mike Graham Thank you very much 👍

[@jamesadkins1780]

Your theory on nutting stones makes more sense than any other I’ve heard. I would add to that, since I see a lot of small hand size ones, maybe they held the top with a small stone. And possibly just like starting a fire with a bow, they used a bow to rotate the antler while smoothing it. Just a theory.

[@cleggsadventures]

They are a mystery for sure. I think they may have have several uses

[@indianasmith8152]

I think that first "broken" one might be a complete tool worked up from a knapping fracture. You got some cool stuff today!

[@cleggsadventures]

Indiana Smith Thank you. It could be, I couldn’t figure out which way to turn it.👍

[@cleggsadventures]

I see, in my notifications, you left another comment. But this is the only one that shows up under the video. Not sure why that is. It happens sometimes. Sorry about that. Yes, think it was an ancient deer foot bone.

[@eddielile7177]

Good hunting nice points it’s cool finding stuff from old homesteads !! Very good theory on the nutting stones I think they used hammer stones to rough it out then pressure flaked with antler? Be careful with bones they freak out about them around here! You got a honey hole there buddy 👍

[@cleggsadventures]

Eddie Lile Thank you very much. And thanks for watching and supporting my channel.👍

[@eddielile7177]

Clegg’s Adventures I missed the info on your dog man sorry to hear that they are family!!

[@cleggsadventures]

Thank you Eddie, we were very close.

[@oklahomanativeexploration7546]

I like your nutting stone idea. Because you’re right some of the nutting stones don’t really make a lot of sense for nuts. I have found nutting stonesThat is Big slabs of red rock that’s like the bed rock.that have nutting Holes in it and they’re usually by a creek where they can wash the tannic acid out of the acorns. And I found a Metate that has both nothing holes and grinding Surface on it where they were processing acorns. But a lot of the little nutting stones don’t really make a lot of sense.so I think your ideas right on target. Also sometimes I think the thinner ones were actually to put on top of the stick when you’re starting a fire with a stick and a bow.The netting holes that I found in the Metate and the bedrock are just slight little chips they’re not big holes just enough to keep the net from rolling off. Although sometimes I think the bigger stones whether it’s a Metate or a bedrock situation may have been used to crack black walnuts though,but I don’t know.

[@cleggsadventures]

Michael McDaniel More good info and also a good theory. They are definitely a mystery. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel.👍

[@donaldross8597]

Nice hunt sorry to hear about the dog

[@cleggsadventures]

Donald Ross Thank you very much.

[@kevinfrederick5013]

Sorry to hear about your dog Duke hard to see them pass .

[@cleggsadventures]

Thank you Kevin, not the same around here.

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

I know what it's like to lose a friend like Duke. I'm sorry friend. Greetings and blessings.

Coyote Arrowhead Hunting Thank you very much.

[@charlesmilliken2171]

Awesome vid yes sir it is

[@cleggsadventures]

Charles Milliken Thank you much 👍

[@jayvanslayer2787]

have you ever found an arrowhead with a round tip? I found such an arrowhead in the MO Ozarks yrs ago

[@cleggsadventures]

I have jay. I find one in this video here. Maybe you’ll have an idea what it was used for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHLmIyNYrJ0gqs

[@johnkandyface9798]

Looks like a dear knuckle i have a bunch broken open and hollowed out,they liked the marrow inside.

[@cleggsadventures]

john kandyface That’s what it is, would love to find a worked bone piece. Thank you for watching 👍

[@eddielile7177]

That’s cool info on the bone being from a deer if it’s correct!!

[@catdogky]

I do think you are 100% correct about 1 thing. So called "nutting stones", there's no chance that Indians were using smooth sandstone rocks and "drilling" circular impressions as mortels and pestles to grind nuts, herbs and other plants into powder. If that was what they were doing, then why were they starting new circular impressions near others on the same rock? Why would they get down to a certain depth in the impression and then just start another one? Wasn't the previous one good enough? Plus, that was a fair amount of work just to drill out a single depression. Too much work to start a new one when the previous one was still perfectly good. We may never get a good answer to the mystery. Have you EVER found any kind of ancient tool that required the end to be perfectly rounded off? There has to be something that would match the shape of the circular impressions. But what could it be? Is there any way you can show us a very detailed, up-close photo of one of the circular impressions. Detailed enough to see lines and ridges?

[@cleggsadventures]

Exactly, you have to put together a best theory with the clues we have.

[@janledford3010]

Oh you guys, those ‘nutting stones’ was a finger nail files for the ladies!!! That why it don’t go down to deep!! Finger nails can only be so long ya know!!!🙄😂

[@catdogky]

@@cleggsadventures What about the paints they mixed for application to their skin and other items? One hole for black, another for red, another for yellow, etc. That would explain several "holes" on the same stone!!

[@sonnypate6808]

Real sorry to hear about Duke. That bone I believe is a black bear paw bone. Google www.fws.gov. They have a comparison of human and bear bones. The deep v in the end of the bone usually means bear.

[@cleggsadventures]

Sonny Pate Thank you for the information and for your kind words. Much appreciated

[@harryasstruman3101]

Imagine when they first witness the bow and arrow over the atlatl it would have been like magic especially in a battle situation

[@cleggsadventures]

High technology then!👍

[@jwgrant792]

I have found the same bone.

[@cleggsadventures]

Deer foot bone

[@NocturnalIntellect]

Looks like a turtle bone to me. Not sure if you ever got a positive ID

[@cleggsadventures]

Turned out to be an old deer hoof bone.

[@SharekGadd]

Deer toe bone.

[@cleggsadventures]

Yes 👍 It had me stumped, I had never seen one before.

[@autodrummer8900]

I love your nutting stone theory. Makes sense. My heart breaks for your loss. Duke was lucky to have you and you him. We're euthanizing our old boy, Ollie tomorrow. Enjoying your videos to take my mind off of it for a while. Thanks for the wonderful videos.

[@cleggsadventures]

Auto Drummer Thank you very much. It’s a hard thing to do, but I stayed with him, I didn’t want him leaving afraid with people he didn’t know. Thinking of you and your family, I know how it is.❤️

[@shanefletcher6215]

Hey Scott

[@cleggsadventures]

Shane Fletcher Hey now!👍

[@annedrogoul3893]

You have an animal toe bone 👍😜

[@cleggsadventures]

Anne Drogoul Thanks for the info, you’re probably correct. Another comment says the same. Maybe deer foot. Very old one

[@jodycopeland1]

Abraiding stone for knapping

[@cleggsadventures]

Right On 👍
