There's a lot of knowledge offered in this video. I'm 76 and have never been a serious Native American artifact hunter but no matter where I've lived these ancient items may be found. The secret as you know is to locate the places where they concentrated their efforts for the making of the tools of survival. Find the natural resources and you'll find the artifacts more easily. But they're actually everywhere because at one time these people were everywhere. Good video, thanks

I cannot thank you enough for this. I heard when I was a young kid about the sound flint makes if you hit it with another rock but I could NOT find if that was true anywhere. Everyone else would show based off of strictly looks. Thank you SO much!

I learned a ton in just 20 minutes watching this. After 20 years of being an artifact hound, I'd never really considered knapping - until now. I don't have the best rock close by (have granite, quartz and slate). But I'll be in New England soon, and you bet I'll be on the lookout!

Follow up: Well, on my trip to New England, I was out in a field, in northern CT, looking for knappable rock. There is stone piled everywhere from when farmers cleared the fields in the 18th and 19th centuries. Looking at piles of interesting rocks in my MIL’s back acreage, I immediately found a very nice stone axe head.

If we are patient...the goods on how to recognize good napping material are in this video. Love the information and assist for finding. Especially the number of different types and how to recognize better materials. This was exactly what I needed.

Thank you for this video! I'm very sound orientated so I used that to identify a lot of my rocks and crystals. Especially weight for a few. I have singing quartz it sounds amazing but if I'm correct calcedony is a softer variety of quartz which does have a higher pitch than majority of the courts, especially the ones you get either Arizona or Arkansas. I can't remember. I'm so sorry.

Heck yeah guys thank you so much, a lot of awesome information I’m definitely gonna recommend this video and send it to anyone that takes interest in knapping

Awesome informative video, thank you!

Great video! Thank you

What I’ve learned for not only this video but all the ones that I have watched. Number 1 - flint or chart make a different sound than rocks. Number 2 - flint or chart smell like gun powder when a chip is knocked off and number 3 - I don’t have the patients or knowledge to pick up a ringing rock and make it to anything but dust! Luv ur channel. Hopefully u r feeling better!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!!!
