Great vid. I met Mr. Pritchard this past spring relic hunting. Very interesting gentleman. He wanted to take a look at full groove axe that I had found. I need to invite him to coffee, no doubt he could tell me all about it.

Amazing.....I can remember every spot each piece was found too. No axes here

I found a Clovis arrowhead near my house in Virginia by a creek that leads to the Potomac River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. I wasn't looking for Indian artifacts, I had never looked for them, I just happened to see it. I was so happy when I found it. But check this out, I'm in NYC now and I found 2 artifacts in the city looking at piles of dirt from Con Ed power company or whatextremely

Love this! Thanks for posting!

The farmer said just fill the hole in! You Gotta be kidding me? LOL

Beautiful collection . Rare collection .

i found an axe head in 1965 on the island near Keyesport, Illinois Carlyle Lake. i ended up giving to my family doctor who was an avid collector. upon a party trip to the island in 1985 i found an almost perfect whitish flint spear point 7 inches long, with just a small amount of point broke off.

excellent Steve; some really amazing finds; a musuem would love those old artifacts

amen; Steve you are doing us a service; awesome

Very very nice collection thanks for sharing with us.

My family has been in Suffolk for many generations. Along the white marsh road. Nice to see.

I watch you metal detector video’s and was surprised to see you were into stone artifacts. I recently found an old stone ax and didn’t realize it’s age.

So many hardstones, incredible collection.

Being Native American, I found this video most interesting. I live in Ontario along the St. Clair River. I have seen a few of these hammers found in the area. Great video!

Thank you for joining us on this adventure.

Amazing collection!

Loved all the videos!!!

Beautiful! Still looking for my first.....

Great collection i wish I had a few like that

You say you found them on farms I am from Canada Newbrunswick and I have collected alot of tools nothing like you have but I see alot of carvings to me here I believe it was the Northmen I thought it was Native at first until I found so many ruin stones and they were well noing for carving. Rocks they used them for breaking bones for the Marrow

We find these in Ohio too. Nice stuff! Most of my old stomping grounds are no-till farms or built over nowdays, but sometimes still get lucky along riverbanks.

Wow that is some awesome stuff I hope you have more his stuff also please

Nice looking collection. 👍

dream find is an axe head no wonder i cant find one lol mr pritchards got em all ;] great share

Achei muito interessante este vídeo sou um apaixonado por artefatos de pedras de antigos povos. Moro no Brasil na Amazônia e tenho uma coleção e são muito parecidas com essas do vídeo.

Need to show the handle attached really can't find and good pictures with handles attached except you go in museum.

I was under the impression that you were not allowed to remove Indian Artifacts from the land ? Am I wrong?

Man this video ended too abruptly, I was ready for more. Tell Mr. Pritchard thanks. Thank you as well. Ready for the follow-up video.

Too good to be true.. Guess he's getting good at making stone tools.

Wow beautiful axes 🤩👍

Respect! Heavy massive beautifull axes! And a lot. In Northern Germany is not easy to find big ones! Enjoy them everday. Maybe together with a good whisky! Thank you for the film!

When i bought my first pair of Allen Edmond's about 4 years ago now i was a bit sick to the stomach with spending $400 on shoes, never had spent that much before.

I'll bet artifact hunting was a different thing all together back in the early 1900s.

Yes, he does have a system he uses. I will get that info on a future video.

I have one of those. Unfortunately, mine was made with a modern grinder or some modern tool. 🤣

Huge ones are probably plows

The large “ax heads” look more like fishing weights

Are these hand axes? If not how was the handle attached? Thanks

Life well spent

I have a stone

I'm surprised that you never questioned the size of the people who used these massive and over sized tools. The Mound Giants ?

Plows, not axes

Does he make his like the guy does? Thanks Carl

I bet that old man bout had a heart attack watching you grab everything

With that many axeheads in a relatively small area, could that area have been the site of an ancient battle?

i cant imagine native americans leaving behind large tools that take weeks to make. my guess is when dwellings were raided by other tribes they hid or buried their valuables. another possibility could be European involvement. If an Indian camp was attacked they would abandon extra heavy tools and or lose them in battle. Europeans probably would just leave their tools thinking they were inferior or not even realize they weren't just stones.

Did they beat a tree to death down? Looks more like a head basher.

Two thumbs up

My buddy has an ax head with th original handle

Those things are huge i think those were used buy giants c ant imagine swinging one of those things

It does not take days upon days to make. A stone axe. I can do it in a day prolly less

Look at this one

What is Mr. Pritchards first name and what state does he live?

Don't think that all stones must bé cuting tool

Check out the Favell Museum :)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice job thinks for sharing with us weeeeeeeeeee

What state?

I am Native American because I was born here, not because I have any Indian in me. I understand not liking "Indian", but don't take my name.

Hello, mister. I'm Denis from Russia. I'm a collector, too. But we do not find such stone axes. Could you sell me at least the most insignificant copy for you ?

Is this Cherokee artifacts? I know a guy that has a huge Chickasaw indian artifact collection. He has a lot of the same stuff thats in this video.

Everyone thinks these are axes, they're not. They are plows. That's what the notches are for, to keep them from pulling-out of their frames and why they are ground so smooth, that keeps the dirt from sticking to them. Stone axes don't need to be so smooth or heavy. Also, why you find them in Fields that are being plowed today. The same Fields were being plowed thousands of years ago. Notice they all are of similar depth or length. If you plant too deep the seedlings will die before they break out of the soil. Also, why you find so many arrow-heads in fields, not because they are plowed, but because the plants attract dear and other huntable game. The Ancients were old not stupid & yes they were much larger than we are today. Their nutrition far exceeded ours.

Nope. Axes. Average size people. Poor nutrition. A Hoe is what you are thinking of for plowing. Similar but different. Find them where they lived. Along rivers and bottom lands. Farm fields today.

@@ericschmuecker5573 Could be, I don't claim abosulte truth about anything. ...and I am them People. My Great Grandad was a way bigger than the average person, so was my Uncle. Stories go way back as to the size of Us and other Tribes. The Cherokee were even much larger than today. But, like I said, even if I see I still don't have the arrogance to say I understand it totally. That's what makes life fun.

This guy needs to handle the artifacts with more caution! I'd shit a brick if someone snatched one of my rocks up fast and then have it balanced on a couple of fingers 😡😡😡😡 those axes are probably closer to the 8000 yr old or older range and should be handled with care..... Good video but slow down while switching from one ax to the next! I bet the owner was nervous as hell with the guy snatching the axes up like they were running from him! Smh
