Many river rocks are naturally polished fossils of various shapes or Concretion Fossils that the natives made use of and modified into tools. Mostly inland Sea Marine Fossils or fragments of larger Animal Fossils

Hey Jason, I appreciate the comment. I've been collecting artifacts, stone tools, effigies, fossils, dinosaur bones and teeth, a few meteorites, been on many digs in multiple states, going on 45 years. Yes, there absolutely might be a couple of pieces that are natural, but you're way off with "a good majority of that stuff are just very unusual rocks and nothing more". Keep studying and researching and getting lots of field experience. Rock on!

Cody Canion , I hope you weren't offended by my comment but you did refer to a book in your video this is why I made that comment. Apparently there is a book that you refer to about Indian artifacts. I am a rock hound and I didn't mean to infer that your collection were " just rocks". I do have thousands of rocks and many appear to look like yours. Maybe a few of mine are artifacts so maybe I do need to get the artifact book you used in your video. I do have some arrowheads and pottery. I'd love to confirm my suspicions about many of my rock finds because they too appear to be artifacts of man. You have a nice day. I did enjoy your video.

I saw some flint pieces on your shelf that I was told were pre forms. I always thought they were crude tools, because they were worked on all sides and people always said I was wrong. Recently I saw a video by a university archeologist that found a cache of such pieces. One piece had residue of a horse, one had residue of buffalo and one had residue of camel on it. It has been a long tine since camels were in America, so they can be ancient tools used for cutting, scraping, etc

Mr Lance what do you do to make your artifacts look so good on display, I clean all the ones that me and my girlfriend find and they only look like yours when they are wet but when they dry they do not look so appealing as your displays. We are a couple of amateur artifact go getter collectors and I'm at a point I want to show off all of our cool finds and need some advice. thanks

Hello Lance! Great video! I have quite a few of those pyramid (triangle) rocks in my collection as well. I was just wondering how you clean your rocks?? Do you tumble them or use another method (as not to break them in the tumbler)?
@lanceetexas5 жыл бұрын
Hey Keith, thank you for commenting. The ONLY cleaning I do with my artifacts is hosing them off over my sifting screen and a soft nylon bristle brush if needed. I don't tumble any artifacts. If you're serious about artifact collecting, just hose off the dirt and mud. Don't scrape any mineral deposits off and don't tumble them. That will devalue and possibly damage any worthy artifacts. Rock on!

Your organization and examination of your possible artifacts is amazing. So many of them are very unusual , when you look them over , you are quite convincing and are obviously very well read.

I'm an avid rock hound and native American artifact collector myself, ni on 50+ years ,most of the triangle shaped rocks are just rocks shaped like triangles. I was out looking this afternoon and believe me there l-shaped and triangle shaped rocks everywhere. I live in nwarkansas now but have lived all around the state and seen thousands of such stones. Down around malvern Arkansas there are smooth round sometimes oblong shaped rocks. When first encountered them in early 70s I was convinced they were Indian pestle stones, had to made by ancient hands. No, they are not. They are practically everywhere you dig. We called them potato stones, they look like freshly plowed potatoes. They are not ancient man made artifacts. Some of you finds possibly, most afraid not. I'm not runnin you down about them, your entitled to your opinion like anyone else. You are a bona-fide rock hound and that suits me fine, enjoyed the video. I've got more rocks around my House and shop good lord I have too much stuff. My head is always looking at the ground everywhere I go, always has. Have a good evening.

You do know that when you see animal shapes in clouds that they are not being shaped by human hands,right? You see what you want to see. Wishful thinking for most of this stuff. Geofacts are not artifacts. There are signs that make true artifacts mostly unmistakable. I saw little of these signs on yours. Glad you and your imagination have so much fun though. I don't think it's a good idea to mislead people though.

Well some are river rocks while others def. are not. Doesn't matter what we think anyway. if it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Try taking them to someone who buys and sells in those types of artifacts. You learn real soon what you do and don't have. Books can only teach you so much. You eyes on the piece can tell so much more about. Just b/c there's peck marks doesn't mean it's worked. Worked stones usually have a look to them, in the shape of the point to be made, but with percussion marks. Those, (percussion marks) look man made. What you are showing is a rock tumbling in the water bumpiing other rocks forming the pecking marks.
