My channel features my many varied interests. You will see all types of videos I shoot here from train videos, hiking in the forests of Letchworth Park, cedar flute making, bottle digging, hot air balloon rallies, arrowhead hunting, and my flintknapping projects. My everyday life is pretty much represented here!

I am glad we don't wash with gasoline powered Maytag washing machines. I shudder to think what we would happen to the air quality on a Saturday wash day in suburbia if everyone did wash this way. Electric much better
This was a really informative video. I'm still new to artifact hunting. I'm 4 years in. Still hoping to find an ads or a salt.
Hi ken, you probably don't know me, i feel like I know you, I've watched you so much and I love hammer stones, but why I am commenting is i just came across creek Dalton's video on that rock with the hole in it, pretty amazing it is , i also saw your comment, also there's a newer comment 6 years old now from an archaeologist that knew what it was, he said it was a loom waight, pretty cool, just thought I would see if you had seen that, i think he could start his own museum .
Our farm was upstream near Fillmore, Ny.... It was a sight ta behold....
He is the juice.
Very late note: ACTUAL bird-stones have smooth rather than sharp-ridged centerlines... Perhaps you imagined such ridges from having used side references only for your intended reproductions.
It would be pretty cool mounted on a three-wheel bicycle
So approximately what is the horsepower rating ?
About 5/8 Hp
I took a knapping class from Craig almost 30 years ago out at Glass Buttes Oregon. Great knapper, really nice guy. Yes, I still Knapp.
Im in Nevada and chert is about all we have available. Damn near impossible to get a flake its very hard material. Upside is they spark well and last.
This is what I've been looking for! I thank you for posting this. Now I'm beginning to believe that I can do this. 😊
Love those points. I field collect all over southeastern michigan and Macomb county is known for frequent points made of onanadaga chert. Found many myself. Most common materials for this county are: Bayport chert, Onondaga chert, Kettle Point chert and stoney creek chert.
Absolutely incredible artifacts.
If you are staring knapping copper is way easier
Of stone boats snd working sleds. Ive seen a sled to drag in a circle...the bittom was loaded eith flint chips presses into the cracks in the wood , some hammered in...the goal was to separate the wheat from the chaff...say 2 10x2s .of about 5 feet long .. would you alter the chips ? Use just random cast offs ? ...ever seen this before? ...any tips and tricks?...best glue ,modern and or archeac?
They are fake 😂😂😂
Paleo man 😅😅
You are older than dirt 😂😂😂😂
Wow! That's amazing. You are very talented!
I see the bench is still there… thanks for the video! Very curious who Ken is irl
Where is that place?
Near Reeb's Bay Ontario , Canada.
il na pas de gaz il marche avec quoi
😮 Ils sont fabriqués avec des machines ou à la main ?
Hey bro!! Glad you’re surviving the cool winter up there!! Love your channel boss…I’ve been knapping 4 years…soon after I found my first artifacts…and you have been a great teacher, so thx!!! Fantastic skills my man!!! Love hammerstones myself!!! Unless you knap…you would never see the details in these artifacts…I’m going to do a video tonight just for your viewing pleasure…since I believe you’ll appreciate the artifacts…thx again and talk soon!!!
Wow! Thanks so much for your great comments they are much appreciated! I wasn't sure if I was subbed to your channel but I am now and will be looking forward to your video. I'm glad that you love these hammerstones as much as I do, they tell so much and to think that they were in the hands of the person that made some of the artifacts we love to find. Thanks again my friend and good luck knapping and hunting artifacts!
@@Paleoman52 Heck yeah bro! Having trouble uploading without giving up the rights to my vids/pics to KZread…don’t remember that last time I post…anyway, I tried mail dropping but that failed so I’ll try dividing it up an emailing them forward…be patient, I’ll figure it out…peace bro!!!
Great video! I use to get tired of finding hammer stones and now that I’m a knapper I like finding them as much as arrowheads.
Good informational video, I am still searching for my first one.Thanks for showing what they look like.
The key to finding one is to look for use wear on stones that are usually smooth. They also have a little more weight to them. The ancients sure knew how to pick the perfect stone for the job!
Very cool! Most of the hammer stones I’ve found all look to be used for other things. That’s awesome you found one for knapping!
Happy to hear you’re going to be doing more videos! Always like seeing the man cave too! I understand how you feel about those hammerstones. I have found many, but it’s those small ones that are really neat.
Wow you watch something like this and say to yourself I know I've seen those before and didn't know what there purpose was! It's like you could re annualize everything you looked at and get a better idea of what in front of you! Great video!
How old are they ? Was you ever contacted by paleontologists ? Thank you !
I date these by the association they occur with the projectile points found there. The site is mostly a Lamoka occupation site, which dates these artifacts up to 5,000 years old. I do keep in touch with a few archeologists and they confirm my suspicions.
Always look forward to your videos. Very educational, wish you would make more
Thanks, I do plan on making more of this type of video. Thanks so much for your great comments and for watching.
Always something interesting in the cave! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my.. sure hope to see more videos from you! Always find them very enjoyable and informative!!
Great to see one of your videos pop up! Cool tools!
Cool stones, I have a Hematite one that looks like the second one that you showed 👍🏻
i think i need to go back and review some old finds. I'm sure i have a couple and didn't really know what they were.
I always appreciate watching your videos, Paleoman! These were two awesome learning pieces. You said it so well, these pieces tell a lot about how those folks were using them and living. It’s especially interesting to think about from a flintknappers perspective on it. I love that you love the tools they used. I find them the most special and insightful! Hope to see more of your informative vids here in the coming year! Ben
Hi Ben, I sure have been enjoying your recent videos that you have been posting lately. Thanks for your great comments. I get more excited about these tools than I do about the things these tools made, especially when you connect these tools with the time period that the arrowheads they made. These are both from a Lamoka site that borders the rim of the Genesee Valley. These were some early nomadic people and they made a lot of simple small dart points. I'm looking forward to your next video, nice finds on your last one.
Those hammerstones are super cool! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Very cool ! I have a few hammer stones, my best is red granite and it is carved to fit your hand , not a maybe, it is definitely made that way, most of my artifacts are hard stone still have not found any arrow heads 😢 , love watching your videos, even found a camel tooth last year, and a game ball
My favorite knapping tools are made of copper; copper billets and picks
He’s arisen!! Hahaha. The use wear on the second hammer stone is just outstanding. That thing saw some long time use.
I've got a few of these I've found on sites,I didn't know for sure what they were
Good to see you back again my friend. Always look forward to your videos.
Wut did you use to connect blade to stag
I used a two part epoxy glue with antler dust mixed in to give the glue a more earthy look. I have used pine pitch in the past but the blades eventually worked loose and I would have to reapply the pitch. I intend for my knives to be used so the epoxy holds up very well.
they are bases to a totem the body stands in the divet
That blade is So Lovely! Absolutely Love it! That would be my EDC. Along with my .357 with that same handle. That whole identical theme would be so Bad Ass!
Awesome, Can't you put a alternator on it and charge batteries!
excellent share
Yes finding all positions to hold.tools u realize how personally each was made
If there is a "teat" sticking up in hole because wood is softer in the middle and leaves that bump
