Very nice stones. The large one center back I have many shaped like that. Always a side protrusion with nice angular sides. Almost resembles a modern wood planner.

Hello Brett, I just came across this channel in the last couple of days looking to see if there were any other people out there who had recently found some grindstones similar to the ones that I have found in the Carolinas and low and behold.… Your channel popped up and I am now a subscriber. I am from Georgia originally myself. I’ve looked at several of your videos and videos by a number of other people online. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that think they have artifacts, but do not. Yours are the real deal. I know this because I have found, things that are similar or almost exactly the same as yours at a large settlement on a river. I can tell you a little bit more about some of these tools that you have and what they were used for, or likely used for. People forget that these ancient Americans did a lot of different things. They were not as primitive as a lot of people suppose. They were very intelligent, resourceful, resilient, and skilled at working with the natural materials at their disposal. You would actually be surprised what some of the tools you have were used for. I know some of this, because some of their living descendants not far from where I live have told me what these tools were used for. The packing and grinding and abrading were usually balanced with polishing using wet sand, or some other kind of gritstone and water. That is a fact. Some of the other things that were polished had to be packed then ground then abated and packed again, then ground down more and eventually they were polished. Some were used as burnisher for pottery, others were used for Reanding and polishing stone bowls, or other stone tools. Somewhere used for woodworking. Others were used for food processing. Still others like the ones I have found were used for processing and extracting minerals to make paint. Some were actually hammers. Others were mauls, some were for ceremonial purposes, and others were just for every day use. they used these things all kinds of different ways and some of them in your collection. I would estimate our well over 1000 years old if not 2000 years old. The youngest things would be about five or 600 years old.

Hey. have you ever cleaned any of these tools with some light acid? lemon juice or something like that works wonders and would reveal some more of that pecking work on some of those stones. Thanks for sharing man!!

@mitsueb I have used many different cleaning methods. The best for most of what I find has been Murphys oil soap, mixed with water.

The piece of basalt is possibly a chisel tip. It may have been embedded in a socket handle. Because basalt is so hard it can withstand the pounding and percussion that some other kinds of stone cannot. I say that I have found stone chisels that are also made out of igneous or basalt stone they have a bevel on at least one end and sometimes they have a diagonal cross-section or a triangular cross-section

@csluau5913 I appreciate the number of comments! So often, you see the wonderfully worked celts or full groved axe heads. Most people think that all hardstone tools should all look this way. They can't be more wrong! Mostly, what I have are the everyday tools that sustained life!

Hi Brent. I’m new to this. I discovered a lot of native artifacts at the edge of a farm field in Wisconsin. I had permission to dig from the farmer. How do I tell approx how old these stone pieces might be? Are there obvious indicators? Thank you

@jimpeters6440 That's a good question. Without doing carbon dating, it's difficult. With points, it's not as difficult due to the vast amount of research that has been done.

Others were mauls, some were for ceremonial purposes, and others were just for every day use. they used these things all kinds of different ways and some of them in your collection. The artifacts you have in your collection could range anywhere from 500 to 2500 years old easily.
