This was a great day of rock hunting despite the freezing water! I'm stoked with how well some of them cut. This was in Canterbury, New Zealand.

the antler handled tool is an awl, for poking holes in leather.

How old do you think. I understand it is very hard to say.

@mamlamborocks 9 ай бұрын

Thanks! I appreciate the info, someone else said awl as well

@brianmarshall1762 9 ай бұрын

I was just thinking that when I checked comments. I think I have seen one or something similar used in making leather boots.

Antler-handled tool, definitely. It looks a bit like an icepick, but more of the cocktail party type than the climbing-a-glacier type. I wonder how it got into the snowmelt. Gorgeous agates and toffee stones! Wow!! Thank you for sharing this hunt!

@@mamlamborocks An awl?! Really??? Wow. OK, I guess maybe for large applications, like tents. Thank you for the info back. ^_^

I thought that I had a voice in a quiet spot and shortly after 12:08 there is the voice of a young girl saying (Dad look what I found) A little strange. Lots of beautiful rocks in that river and beautiful snow on the mountains. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

I had no idea NZ had such variety. Here in Oregon we have a ridiculous amount of chalcedony varieties. Great vid man, subscribed and look forward to your next adventure

Looks like you found an Awl, with a deer antler handle... Dating will be hard as you can buy them like that today... Unless you can afford a Carbon 14 test 😂

Very cool I look forward to one day hunting agates in the South Island. Interesting to see the Moa at the very end all stretched out (cant remember it being so long looking vertically). So cool that 3d print. Very inspiring channel totally helps me stay motivated to find amazing things.

Awesome video, we do get some interesting and unexpected things in my area due to the glacial till bringing stuff down from the north of england and the boulder clay but agates are both uncommon and very hard to find due to the vast amount of flint that they blend in with, only found one or two locally over the years. Cheers for sharing your finds and your expeditions with us
