Hello folks, I found this on a ridge of a friend’s property near Lookout Mountain by the GA/TN/AL border. There is no river or stream nearby. The mountains are limestone from my understanding. I am wanting to know if this is natural or an Indian game ball that I have read about. There seems to...

I don’t know much about arrowheads so any info will be greatly appreciated, found in Missouri, near Meramec River on my friends property.

Southern West Virginia. Found this out in the apple orchard with my dad in June 2023. On the site, I have found many points, filled multiple mason jars with debitage, a broken axe head, abraders, rubbed hematite, and a few nutting stones. I don't know what kind of stone but it's not similar to...

I found this I the creek bed while digging and I 2ant to know if it's real. It looks like ic3 age type stuff to me. Pics with flash on and off and a quarter to size.. this was found off old highway 100 in Haralson County, Tallapoosa, GA. USA

Hello and greetings to all. I was attending a estate auction when I came upon this 112 pound or right around that weight this giant hand chipped round stone. Of course I bought it. My question is what is it? And is it native American? I believe it is because there's a small groove in it as seen...

Hello, I found this nearly perfect sphere in Virginia on high ground off the James River where I’ve found numerous Native American artifacts. The white arrowhead in the photo was found the same day just 10 yards away. The sphere is very heavy/dense for its size, which leads me to believe it...

These were found in different locations, but both were in creeks in North Texas. They have a similar spokeshave-like feature, but I am unsure if this is a common natural formation, or if it is intentionally done. I have found spokeshaves before, but they are thinner than these two. Thanks in...

Found in farmers field in south Jersey...looks like a native American axe head.

More of my collection

I found this today have no idea what it is, but I think it’s definitely something? The edge is chipped btw. I’ve attached multiple photos taken at different angles. Expertise is greatly appreciated.

A little over a year ago I was skipping rocks on a beach in the Cape when I picked this up. It laid right at the shore line and looked to be the perfect skipping rock but after getting a closer look I went over to show my uncle to see if he knew what it could be. When I got back to the cottage I...

Hello, I recently identified a site in Central Brazil with hundreds (more probably thousands) of ceramic shards of the most varied pottery and manufacturing styles. Below (attached) are some photos (macro - 23 x 23 square cm) and light microscope details (micro - some few square mm) with temper...

Found my first arrowhead today in northwest Florida! Been looking and digging test holes on our property for a while and have only found a few flakes and broken pieces until now. This one was barely covered with dirt. The field has been plowed and cultivated in the past. It has a broken tip, but...

Hello this treasure was Found in Lincolnton north Carolina... it appears to ne a teardrop shaped face with an arrow or scar maybe over his/ her / its left eye.... im very intrigued by this piece but I have no clue I what/or who this really is? Has anything like this come abroad I'm very curious...

Here's four more that I'd appreciate any input you have. Two of them I'm confident are the real deal, but have been wrong before. Not sure what he round stone would've been used for but was part of what my grandpa had set aside, so I included it. As always thank you to those helping me out...

Could once again use some help weeding out the true artifacts from the truly just rocks. Out of the four I'm posting, only one I am fairly confident, in my limited knowledge, of being genuine is the smallest one. The one with lines thru it, I was going to post elsewhere but does have one end...

I have been going through my grandpa's collection and some just look like rocks, while others look like the real deal. Then there's some that leave me scratching my head and not sure what to think. One of these that I'm posting is a flat stone in a teardrop shape with slanted sides. I wouldn't...

Anxious to hear input on this one. Not sure if this is a pestle, but it sits at about 9 inches long and has a definite flat side to it. One end appears to maybe have been shaped down to a smaller point? The substance in the crack is the question I've been dying to have an answer to. This is part...

This is one of the many items that are part of stone tool and arrowhead collection that my grandfather collected. This one Looks like a shaft straightener but wanted to get some opinions.

The hunt for the elusive hardstone Friday evening the rain started, a steady cool rain accompanied by strong winds. There was a strong front the week prior which brought record tornadoes to the Midwest including Bowling Green KY, the hometown of my wife’s family. Very thankful we sold our...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify what these are. I've found about 15 of them so far in my backyard in the city of Wyoming, Michigan. According to what history I could find about this area, there were Native American settlements prior to European arrival. The land behind my...

Hi there, I just acquired this axe head from one of my clients yesterday during a plumbing service call, she?s 70 y/o. She told me she owns land nearby pillager MN just north of Bemidji. She was walking through the wilderness looking for wild ferns to dig up and plant at her other home in the...

Found these in New Mexico around the area of the Aztec Ruins National Monument a few years back. They look like tomahawk heads. I was wondering if anyone had any input on exactly what these are or any other information. I found a bunch of arrow heads and pottery in the area as well. Thanks for...

Possible Native American maul (left photo)? The only reason I ask is it was found in a collection with other 'actual' mauls that have grooves for hafting. Also, it does seem to have some tip wear. This is the only photo I have...

Any info on type and age would be appreciated. Found in nova scotia.

I'm new to hobby so I don't know much, looking for any info on these two points. Found in nova scotia Thanks!

All found in Watchung Reservation, a group of three long low ridges of volcanic origin. Have found basalt in the area. Square one is possibly that that was utilized as a tool? Any thoughts would be great! Thank you!

I know and am okay with the idea that these are just rocks weathered to look like tools, and have been told by 1-2 people that are not experts in the area but one was an expert in geology. Have a few but want to start with this one (brown) because I am convinced it was a tool with the pure...

For your consideration. Another Native American Relic of questionable origin. I purchased this about the time I acquired the now infamous steatite Rattlesnake Gorget. In my defense, I haven't fallen victim to any additional impulse buys to date...lol If this wasn't made by a Native American...

Hi, I found this stone tool(presumably) about 200ft from the Tennessee River, near Decatur, Alabama. This is my third attempt at seeking out someone who has seen a tool of this particular shape/size & who has some knowledge of what its intended purpose was. Judging by what appear to be finger...

What I believe is a lightly worked scraper? Found along a Penobscot run stream just below a chokepoint following a significant confluence. High water this year really cleaned the banks, not as scoured as previous big ice out years but large eddies worked traditional high water bank where I found...

I was on a walk in my woods today and found a mysterious rock with a hole in it. It is concaved and looks like it has tooling marks. Never found something like this. Doesn't seem like a natural formation. New to the forum, hey!

Today, I took a walk around my property. It’s part of an area frequented by the Tunxis Tribe, right by an 18th century road. I found this discoidal, some 18th century shards and some sort of tool. I also found a stone that appears to have a flute? player with a bird painted on it. I want to...
