Native American Prehistoric Tools Real Artifacts

[@bewilderment9268]

I live in west Texas and recently found a knife blade/scraper/shaft dresser. Never seen anything quite like it so that's what l call it. Mostly l have found VERY OLD uniface tools and points along with larger spear points. Love your collection, thanks for sharing with us.

[@warrenvinansky4771]

Great tools ,knives, i have some from Texas.and from , ,,, Maine , indians that lived in maine ,before cities, towns etc were established were called The Red Paint indians , very long time ago

[@ChristopherRyans]

Amazing heartfelt video. Thumbs up if you agree

[@OntheTrailwithDale]

Great collection Brooksy. I've seen a lot of your individual finds but it's nice to see them all grouped together like that. Man, I could easily lose myself rooting through your collection, haha! Thanks for showing us bud!!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Dale, I'd let ya come root through my artifacts if ya was close or came through this way, I've always appreciated the tools that's why there strung all over through out the house - shiney rocks every where

[@Hopewellmj]

I am in awe with the volume and quality of your collection! Amazing showing of some fantastic and very interesting artifacts!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Mike I'm glad you enjoyed, it's for those like you, that make doing these vids all worth the while & honoring those who came before us & always honoring what they left behind

[@marlena8763]

I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. I also appreciate the history , the skill and the craftsman.

[@glorbnic]

Really educational, useful and grateful. I’ve been at this for only a year and this video helps in my confidence in identifying, conservation and - actually - as a careful amateur historian. Thanks.

[@jaybirdrocks9939]

Yes in deed i have the bug an love it i substituted my drinking an dozen to just plain olé rocking an i have loved the past 4 5 years the best an can remember them lol

[@rockheadOH]

Great show of some very underappreciated items Buddy ! You've got quite the selection of them. What amazes me is the amount of flint adzes y'all find ! Around here just about everyone we find is hardstone. Love the flake knives...one of my favs although a very simple everyday thing. The bone tools are cool also ! I haven't done much digging so the amount is very small...LOL Thanks for the show and as always...Good luck taking your next walk !

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Elvis, we tried to do our best at a good & wide selection of them, I've found adze's on all era's of sites, but certain culture era's used them a lot, like those from the dirty hole, but the big sea has a strong smetley culture evidence but you never find any Sedalia's out there, never get that part & I love bone tools, now my bud Terry has some really cool bone artifacts from shelters, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@individualg8383]

Thank You Sir very informative and I appreciate you also

[@nettid4725]

thankyou I learn so much from you. If you could show how they were tied on and used would make my day and week and month, thanks again.

[@barbtracy7566]

Your videos are awesome! So much information. Thank you for sharing your finds and knowledge. Keep the videos coming! I have found lots of tools but have yet to find my first full point.

[@qcypointhunter]

You hit the nail on the head Mike ! Everything made by the ancients was a tool for sustaining their lives whether blade , point , scraper , tools for making tools, or what have you . The were all necessary for their daily lives . Thanks for this outstanding look at some of your favorites . Take care and the very best to you . --- Butch

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks for the great comment Butch, as you seen tools hold a special place in this fellas heart & try to understand their daily life well you gotta love all the finds the left behind especially the basic tools

[@baitammo4652]

It's a good thing that I love finding tools because no more points than I find, my artifact hunting life would be pretty boring lol! Joking aside, thanks for taking the time to share some of your collection of tools, I truly do enjoy all of the items used for their daily lives. I really enjoy finding a tool that is different from the common and studying it to try and understand the most likely reason for use, I'm sure you do the same! Take care and good luck on the next outing!!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks yea tools have a special place, a lot of what we wonder of what they did, is common sense, you just have to imagine yourself living without all the modern amenities & what would you do, that's the best way I know how to figure or imagine how they did certain things, now top archaeologists have proven a lot of theories & it's always good to read everything one can, but not everything is pin pointed out, & that's where collectively sharing gives us lots of insight into what their daily lives where like

[@bigfan1364]

Awesome, I have tons of these which I picked up over 7 years in VA. Thanks for the time. 😉

[@T.J-and-Soul]

Just goes to show "if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck it isn't necessarily a duck". I would of thought those first tools were preforms until you showed how the base and edges are worked. Great collection.

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

Thanks. I just try my best from all the different people and resources I've learned from over the decades.

[@douglaswilliams99]

awesome video and very informative. Some great examples you showed really makes you respect what they did just to survive. Thanks again, can't wait to see your next find!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Douglas, as always the credit goes to those who came before us, glad you enjoyed the vid

[@jsd8197]

Thank you for sharing I'd love to show you the cool tools and carvings I've found. All paleo.

[@richardramos2971]

I found a hammer stone in a Home Depot bag of river rocks and a couple more questionable artifex

[@Azazelcobb]

Thank you sir!👍 Much appreciated and respect to you.😎✊

[@TinaShay]

I'm from South East Utah and nobody here would dare display their finds on the internet. The feds have raided so many homes in the Four Corners area looking for the slightest hint of Ann artifact that even when you find things on your own land, you are nervous about having it in your home. I own a wheat farm now in SW Colorado and have taken to putting all my finds around the tree in my yard when I get home from a hike. Before I started doing that, I had rocks in the bathroom and I had rocks in the kitchen and. In the living room and in the drawers and closets and on shelves and I had boxes full of them on shelves in the shed... When I moved several years ago, I had to rent a storage shed and realized that I was paying storage rent to store boxes of rocks!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[@jeffbuchanan3061]

Great video! I have collected these same artifacts for nearly 40 years. I love it. I have put a lot of thought, imagination, but mainly, logical,common sense, into each and every piece I find. Fortunately I was raised in the country, I have basically the knowledge to survive off the land as well as animals. So there were so many hardships and upon those people,we don't have clue the things they had to endure, just to stay alive. We are all so blessed,yet we take so much for granted. I just recently subscribed to Indian Trace. I was scrolling through one day,and stumbled onto his sight. Something told me to wait and watch for a little bit, there was something about his spirit or demeanor that was just a joy to listen to. Anyway don't mean to talk so much, but really I liked your video tremoundously. I've been contemplating doing a video myself, but not sure yet. Have a lot of stuff from years of collecting. My name is Jeff and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas,and a happier 2020! Peace out!!! !!!

[@ericschmuecker348]

Reading your comment from Xmas 2020. Cheers! Xmas 2022.

killer material some of them adze are made of .really great look at the tool artifacts thanks for the show mike take care

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Jeff glad you enjoyed it & yes I just love all the diversity in the materials we have around here so many colors & patterns

[@smokeeater8387]

Great show brother! I love the tools, some really great examples and craftsmanship on them👍

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it, I love the tools as well, that's why some are cased up & many around the house in plain site

[@PaHeadhunter]

Great video Brooksy!! I always like finding tools/scrapers. Most people seem to overlook them, but they were every bit as important as any arrowhead out there. Good luck!!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Carl & yes lots of hunters won't keep tools or they just throw them all in a bucket in the garage or basement, which don't get me wrong I have boxes that are just full of tools but don't have the room to display them all out and about but I always keep out my favorite ones and I case the very best up

[@individualg8383]

Amen buddy

[@flakescarred4life901]

That was an awesome video! I love those adze! Don't find too many in my area:/ The materials they used in your are are absolutely amazing! I don't know if it was the lighting, but some of the material had a "camo" look to it. Like that last adze you showed and weren't sure if it was a blade or an adze. I think the only tool i haven't found from your vid is a nutting stone. I completely agree with your line of thinking. when it comes down to it, they are all tools that we find. All equally deserving of our appreciation, and made by, in my opinion, some of the best peoples to have walked this earth. I love and respect everything i find/rescue! It's good to see so many others who think the same! H.H. to you good sir!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks FS4life, yea one has to have a deep appreciation for those who came before us, most guys don't even display their tools, they put them in a bucket out in the shed or garage, which don't get me wrong, I have boxes full in my spare room, but I keep the best one's out, I love the adze, they used them here as a main tool, pretty sure they were for a lot of different things but mostly for wood working, some will have a very high polish on them & yea the lighting could of been better, it's not the best corner, but it's where I keep them, thanks for dropping that stellar comment

[@flakescarred4life901]

Yeah. I live in an apartment with roommates, so I can't display everything the way I want, but I'm going to be getting 40 acres up in northern AZ soon. Going to build my own home so I can display everything how I want! Going to try the off grid lifestyle! Most of the digging type of tools I find around here are broken. I'm assuming it's because our dirt is like concrete in most places! That's why I haven't even tried digging for stuff.

[@individualg8383]

Awesome buddy, I got few tools not many points till I find more. I'm learning more about Life here in North America

[@danielflintknapping]

amazing finds! i find some tools (mostly flint scrapers) here in the fields of Southern Sweden where i live, but sadly most are very damaged because of plowing.

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks Danz, I'd love to hunt over there one day just to see the difference in Artifacts, really appreciate you stopping by & dropping a comment. best wishes to ya

[@csluau5913]

Beautiful stuff. I think I probably have no more than a dozen tools that are actually completely intact that I have found over the years. Unfortunately my ex-wife would not allow me to keep a lot of those things because they’re very bulky and heavy and we’re not allowed in the house etc. so I ended up giving them to a museum. Then when I moved back to America, haven’t had time or the space to keep things. I only recently started finding artifacts in an area that was inhabited by one tribe for over 5000 years. Still don’t have a lot of space but I’ll be darned if I’m going to part with the ones that I find this time. Whatever I don’t keep I’m happy to give to the museum nearby.

[@Kimical777]

Great video more please, wish I could find stuff like that it isnt from lack of trying oh and about the length of video not possible to be to long- ha

What an amazing collection Brooksy, thank you for showing us these fascinating tools. I should think its thrilling to find something so long lost and to be able to cherish it like its previous owner did. I was so enthralled I didn't notice how long your video was, thank you again my friend.

[@straubdavid9]

The piece at 12:19 looks more Paleo to me, than the piece you show at 13:33, and may even be referred to as a Limace? www.arrowheadology.com/forums/knapping-and-primitive-technology/7235-limaces-other-paleo-tools.html In my area of PA, the flat facet on the top of the tool is seen a lot on paleo tools. You should get some other opinions on that piece - it's pretty sweet. Some of those hammerstones like the one at 22:24 that show rough pitting in the center were also used as anvils. At exactly 22:24 you can see the limited intentional surface pitting(superficial), with the other side showing deeper work/usage. I would think (and I could be very wrong) that the deep pit if used on a fire starter would be a lot smoother in the hole and not so rough looking? Just a thought, and I've not looked into it at all. Thanks a lot for the tool tour - you have some really nice pieces. Take care.

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

thanks David & you have some good points about the hammerstones with the pits, though maybe it took a long time to get those divots smoothed out from the spindle, we just know they weren't used as a nutting stone, who wants to crack a nut one @ a time to feed the masses & on the flake knifes I've read in several books even one Dr. Dennis Stanford says Paleo flake knives should have 40 some knicks per in he, I use to be on arrowheadology before KZbin & FB , I really appreciate your input, that's how we all learn more

[@ErlefromVa]

Enjoyed Tooling around with you Brooksy! Some really great pieces in your guardianship. Personally I would think the bow and drill stone would be slightly smoother at the center divot, but then again it was wood on rock and not rock on rock type of grinding! Great stuff and thanks for taking the time to show the finer flaking end edging!

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Erle, that's what makes sharing worth it, thanks for the great words
