Native American Stone Tools And Artifacts ~ NICE MIX OF TOOLS !

[@Billdeddd1647]

Hello. Im an archaeologist. With all due respect, these are just rocks. I checked your other videos too, 100% just rocks.

[@brentkuehne435]

@Billdeddd1647 Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you being respectful. I know archeologists and have worked with them on archeological diggs. Once, I worked with 10 on a sight. They were from all over the southeast. What really surprised me was that they all had such a monolithic mindset, never questioning one another. I am a hobbyist who has concentrated in the area of tools. Almost no one does this, and most know little about them. That being said, it does leave a lot of room for speculation, and that's ok. I read a fair amount and always like those who think out of the box a bit! I think it moves the field forward.

Oh my, I’d love to see your whole collection. I’ve been hunting artifacts for the past 50 years. After seeing all your museum quality artifacts, it’s has dawned on me ex on me that I’ve been collecting the wrong artifacts. Can’t believe I’ve spent most my life packing a bunch of junk home. I’m headed back to the desert with my last 50 years of rocks, dumping them and going by what you’ve taught me today. Thank you my friend:)

[@brentkuehne435]

Many tools are specific to their culture! You may want to double-check before you throw them out!

[@gregwalker7106]

Thank you Brent, I love finding these in Mississippi. I have learned so much from watching your videos. And I look forward to every new video you make.

[@brentkuehne435]

Thanks for the comment! Good hunting!

[@BryanKoenig379]

This dude absolutely loves rocks that's for sure. Keep up the good work it's all about what makes you happy I guess

[@brentkuehne435]

👍

[@hifiphilly9637]

Great video. I have found some similar tools here in the Delaware Valley of PA. Thank you for sharing your finds!

[@brentkuehne435]

Thanks for the comment! That part of PA should be rich in artifacts.

Always like to see what you're up to. Great finds, love the handheld "hoof" tool! Love the sound of that water and sorry about your boot. 😘✌💞

[@brentkuehne435]

Thanks for the comment. All the handle held tools I have found have the same design but are of different sizes.

[@Rickyfyied]

I always thought thats just how the rocks were formed.

[@jennifergray482]

Beautiful finds Brent. I love your videos. I always learn so much. Those materials are gorgeous. Warm wishes. 🙂

Thanks for the comment!

I recently found a hunting tool called a crescent in a river on the north side of Lake Ontario. It looks like a stone boomerang and was used to immobilize large game birds to get close by to spear.

[@michellenelsen5235]

Awesome finds!!!

[@StonesJones]

Beautiful!! It was too rainy here. So thank you!

[@brentkuehne435]

Thanks !

[@veronicamoore3777]

Great video!

Thanks !

You've answer questions with a lot of my finds

[@Ljones914]

Thank you

[@Azazelcobb]

Thank you Brent for sharing your thoughts, and knowledge gained from actually going out and experiencing mother nature. It's an important thing that you're doing, and I hope you have fun doing it for a long time.💯🫡✊⚔️

[@brentkuehne435]

I am blessed to have access to these areas and show the public all the different tools these cultures made and used.

[@AndrewGutierrez-z3t]

Feel you on that one lol😂,you can only carry so much out. I look like spanky some times 😂

[@AndrewGutierrez-z3t]

Shoot my shorts and pants are all cargo 😂 and back pack

[@jedpye3696]

Sorry but I think these are all just rocks with all due respect. I live around the Ocean (beaches everywhere) in Eastern Canada and you could find rocks just like this within 15 minutes, they are just everywhere. I have a few myself that I would love to think are artifacts and a few that might for sure be. I left something on the beach the other day that I questioned and now I’m kicking my ass. I live within a couple miles where an indigenous site once was and now it’s all been redone as a beautiful historical tourist attraction called Fort Le Tour

[@brentkuehne435]

Have a friend who finds some really nice and unusual tools on the Maryland shore. Also, quite a few points and blades. 25 plus thousand years of occupation on this land! The surface hasn't even been scratched. Start keeping some interesting finds. If you can repeat them enough, you may be on to a type of tool.

[@jakereid4137]

You are full of it

[@Waldo-b2o]

Thought you would like it if I told you I happened to see the theme for the native on a couple of your rocks the oel is bitten by the rattlesnake on the talon as and dies then the eagle or hawk comes and takes the snake and kills it pecking it in the head. Just thought I'd tell you look at those rocks again they are 200 years old. Not too easy to see

[@20greeneyes20]

How can you tell that the water is what shaped the rocks and not man? I know some are obvious because of the pecking marks..m But one like me can really use my imagination and make any rock and artifact.

[@brentkuehne435]

It's not always easy. It takes careful examination. First thing I look for is geometric shapes, that are not consistent with regular river rocks. Bifurcated Chipping, and polishing. Soil and oil staining that permeates the stones in hand held tools. Ware points. Repeatability, finding the same tools. There are more, but this is what I look for the most.

[@20greeneyes20]

@@brentkuehne435 Thanks for your helpful advice. I know it's easy to make something out of nothing with an active imagination. Where I live it was very populated with many American Indian tribes. Can't help but go there. So the hunt is on...... Thanks!

[@brentkuehne435]

@20greeneyes20 Good luck!

[@Mikechoppz]

Hey buddy! I have a few stones I could use some help identifying. Do you have a email I can send them to? Maybe see what you think

[@redbeard8834]

None of that is artifacts

[@BryanKoenig379]

No telling how many actual ones he's passed up 😂

[@20greeneyes20]

Be kind, he may have more knowledge than you and too nothing is like being there in person to see the details. Some we may never know.....

[@SCouch-cw6je]

I’ve collected read researched studied native time periods for 30+ years. I’ve thrown thousands of these out of fields and other sights. Never even considered picking them up in a creek. Always figured something that has been in water for years would color and come in some wild shapes. I have actual arrowheads that’s smooth from laying in a drip line for 1000’s of years. To each there own but rocks like these i personally pass on

[@joeyarmstrong4415]

I can't see why you're picking that stuff up. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything, but not worth picking up.

[@brentkuehne435]

What they are worth? I have no idea. But I like picking them up.

[@joeyarmstrong4415]

@@brentkuehne435 I know you do, and I like ( love ) hunting for them too. Brent,, I'm not claiming to be some kind of expert, and I,, by no means am trying to be disrespectful or anything like that. I don't know how long you've been doing this either. I do know that 23 years ago when I started, I was picking up every little or big rock I saw, knowing it was something but 90% was nothing,,(lol). I love watching KZbin videos of people hunting them,,,if they're picking up actual stuff. People would tease me by saying "Boone, the rocks you're picking up are Indian sex stones,,,they're just fuckin ole rocks". I was misinformed by a couple people who I thought would know what they were talking about,,,they didn't. Again,,I ain't nobody, just an ole country boy from a small town in Kentucky, and as long as you're having fun,,,roll with buk. If I offended you in any way,,,I'm sorry. Twas not my intent.

[@brentkuehne435]

@@joeyarmstrong4415 Been doing it for quite some time. I am a hobbyist but probably know more about the local cultures than anyone. I worked for two years with academia at our new museum setting up native American displays, they learned a lot whether they wanted to or not! 25000 years of occupation with thousands of cultures that have come and gone, the reality is we know very little about these cultures. If you do a deep dive into it, over time you start putting some pieces of the puzzle together that no one else has done. I appreciate your comment.

[@sampavadore6709]

Please donate those pieces to the Smithsonian,they are national treasures.

[@brentkuehne435]

After years of sending artifacts, they said they had enough.🤣
