Ok this is one of the best things I've ever found, even better than another gold ring in my book. What's more shocking was I found it while metal detecting in the front yard of the home where I grew up, roughly 20 feet from the front door. I wasn't even there to dig I just decided to give it a...

Everyone says it's a spear head. Can't find one online like it. It's heavy. 80.5 grams/2.840 oz. Don't believe it's stone, but someone suggested meteorite. I just have no idea. Found near the river in So. Oregon. The middle picture, that shows it as a dark brown is the more accurate color.
