I don't own a copy of this book and first time iv seen inside i am impressed! Thanks for showing i will get one now.

great video. very informative. I love that you reminded everyone not to take anything without permission. very well done

I have all 15 editions. I find 15 the most informative. Steven Cooper is a good editor,big addition to the stagf.

Hey those Chumash Tools at 5:13 in your video... page on the left, are all my finds too !!! Whooo Hoooo

The G 1thru 10 is a scale of the quality of the points with G-1 being the lowest, G-10 the highest ... Not many G10s out there... Btw Bob called me out of the blue and asked me to send him pics of just my West Coast stuff ... Broke my heart as my Clovis from AZ is my best ever find ... Here's the video of it ... Forgive the totally crappy production values, it was my first vid I'd ever made ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fH-kubuniJDTiM4.html

These books are great, but I have a piece that my dad found back in the 80's and I couldnt find anything that looked familiar with it. It was made of reddish stone, 3 1/2 in in length, it looks like it was a knife, the tip must have been broken at some point by the person who made & used it because it looks like it was rounded and repaired for further use. Its really nice looking.

Lot of time went into that book. Very impressive

At one time Bob Overstreet lived in Cleveland, Tennessee. This is where his 1st book was published, which I had him sign, along with his good friend, Steve Addison. I always wondered what this book is worth?

In the 9TH Edition or later editions, look up Malaga Cove points in the Far West section (California). All those in there but 2 are my personal finds.

That's cool man. I have never taken anything to a school. I think they frown on amateurs. Great story though!

I was just looking at one of these today at my old man’s. He’s got one of these books. It’s from 98’ so I don’t know how accurate the prices are but I just really love looking through them. I’d like a book like this but for effigies. I post some of my finds on this my channel. Pretty interesting stuff

Read the article the Vail site is in Maine

G 10 is the highest grade for artifacts. Like stamps or coins the quality or value of a piece is based on a condition scale rating artifacts from 1 to 10. 1 being a poor example and 10 being the best of course.

We all need that book at some POINT 👀😁

I have 20K years old arrowhead

Hey ... All the relics on both those pages at 5:13 are my finds except the Clovis points and even the one from Tulare Lake is mine.(bottom row, 2nd from the left).And out in the Thumbnail Guide for FW, the Vandenberg Contracting Stem is mine too. Sadly my Son took it in a case of my points, off to college with him and they never came back ... Now I'm depressed...

Question for you are all these overstreet editions the same or are they updated somehow? I'm looking for a copy and dont know which one to get

Found a clear quartz arrowhead (coastal NC) while looking for granite rocks to use as borders for my potted plants... I've Googled & Googled but can't find any SOLID info about whether it's worth anything substantial. It IS small - approximate length & width: 1.25 in x .75 - but I thought it MAY be special bc it's clear quartz, and bc it LOOKS to be the same shape as many of the very early pieces I've seen depicted online... Question is: HOW do I determine its worth/rarity?? Antiquities dealers around here know NOTHING about Native American artifacts.

I’ve never known anyone to get rich from artifacts personally. However if you sell to the wrong people you find yourself rich with time on your hands…in the federal penitentiary! Be careful my friend

Many of the points pictured in this guide are questionable as far as being modern or being actually old, but getting worse every edition. Beware of that. For general information it's fine and gives a good introduction. Remember, experience is everything. Be careful about COA (Certificate of Autrhenticy) providers. Many are scammers, don't actually know what they are doing, and just in it for the COA fee. Old vested collectors know who is Right and credible, and who is not reputable. Good luck, and be very careful if you decide to buy anything.

How can u tell if a spread eagle is real ?

I'm getting ready to review "North American Indian Artifacts" by Lar Hothem. It's a very interesting book and I think covers a broader range of artifacts than the OSG. Just re reading it and finishing up my notes. This video was my first attempt at a review. So....I'm working on my presentation

Is anyone good at identifying arrowheads I have an amazing find and I don’t know what it is

how did you get the ones with color? all the ones i had are black and white

I'm that guy with 60k year old artifacts all over my 200 acres in the san luiz valley Basin in colorado. My people that I study, are last meandertaul, but the 1st American indians.. Go watch my videos, it shows what your describing.

I wonder if some native American while doing some form of his divination. Seen into the future. After all there lands were stolen . To Year's down the line to us. Talking about asking for permission. To look for there old spears etc.

Man not only that. But think how blown he'd be knowing we just look at them and treat with reverence and handle them as if they could explode. Just to nestle them in padded display case. to never again serve its true purpose....they'd be like...so we are going to use those right.

Dont take anything without permission,,,, now thats funny

maine arrowheads 20000 years ago

I think Mr. Overstreet has been dead for many years.

Overstreet is a joke, it's good for the novice who doesn't know anything, a lot of things are off in there, but people need to continue reading real publication's by real archaeologist's, not guys who are trying to control the market on artifacts

About every state as a Archaeology Society and they put out some great publication's, just about every one has a point identification, plus information on any recorded site's within the state, and there's other good sources, you just have to search, projectile points dot com is good for types as well, but they're a lot like overstreet, not everything is perfect or right, it takes year's of reading everything from your area and year's of studying your finds or people you know, prehistoric artifacts and the people who left them are a learning process that's never ending

...I wonder how the First Nations see their cultural belongings sold for profit with not a thought of how they were made, who made them, how they were made, why they were made.... pretty sad that the focus here is on "how much money can I make?"

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell!,.,,,,,,,.,.,.,.
