native american

Native American ornament mode carved on both sides of one soapstone. For making beads and broaches from lead. About 3 inches square. May be between 300 and 350 years old. 1650s to 1750 possibly. Thanks for the look and info.

This item was found on my family's land that was previously home to Menominee tribe. I originally thought it may be a spear head but now am leaning towards it being a scraper of some sort, if its anything at all. It has an apparent groove in it which my thumb fits in perfectly. Black stone with...

When I was hiking the Umpqua trail last year I met a couple who were camping near the Swiftwater park a few miles from Glide Oregon. The girl told me that her father was a lumber jack in these woods 50yrs ago. She gave me the directions for one ancient Indian Village in great detail. The other...

Not many people know the story behind the Maid of the Mist, Niagara Falls and even fewer people make the connection to proof that Iroquoian tribes participated in ritual human sacrifice at the sacred waters site. But oral and written history contains more than one eye witness account of 15 yr...

The field in the back of my house was being dug up because of the beginning of a small sinkhole, and to my surprise the workers found a Native American Indian-made vase, fully intact! I was so utterly astounded that I rushed to make an account on this site to ask if anyone would be...

I found what looks like it could have been an axe head or celt about a week ago near the Catawba River in North Carolina. I am pretty new to this and have no idea what I'm talking about lol. Any suggestions/advice? thanks, sosa961

I found this in an old native american ruin that's near an old mining camp in las cruces. i was wondering what it is. i think its made of slate or some other type of stone and it has at least four holes that were drilled in to it but none are complete im not sure if it was made to be this way...

Anyone have any idea what this is? Found on the beach in Santa Cruz. Size is 8" x almost 3" x almost 2". It looks like something was attached to it at the top and broke off or something. Or did the stone form around it? Maybe a rail road spike? Made of stone. No identifying marks on it...

This is the type of great western photo that an amateur can buy very cheaply. I sold a similar copy of this for 25$. That is not a bad price to get a photo like this. You can do a tremendous amount of research on a photo like this, and you get great practice to see the original cards and how...

I find a lot of pottery but know nothing about it. Can anyone shed some light on what I have found? How do I post pictures? I have about 6 pieces of pottery with black and white paint on them. They are an inch to 4 inches in size and were found in southeastern Arizona where an apache Indian...

Hello all! I found these on the Russian River in northern California near a documented Pomo Indian village in the 1800's. I believe they may be stone tools but my husband thinks they are just interesting rocks. Can anyone confirm if it is a good possibility that some of them may be...

Hello All, we are new to this site and hoping to find some info on some pottery we got at an auction today. some have signatures but other just have initials or symbol. if we can get pointed in the right direction on finding info would be appreciated. most look like newer artist but the...

I bought a watch for $5.00 at a rummage sale and these clips were attached to the watch. The watch itself wasn't gold. Their for a ladies watch. I usually see turquoise set in sterling, so this was a nice surprise. The clips are stamped 14k with makers mark "SG". They are yellow gold. Does...

I hunted an old hunted out park today with some good results. My first target of the day was the native bracelet which had a nail in the hole with it (to bad its cracked :( ) That got me pumped up, for the next hour I scored a few wheaties and then I popped the 1913 barber. Few more wheats after...

Hello I am new to this forum and new to treasure hunting. I live in Hamilton, Ohio and was wondering if anybody had an idea of where I might be able to find Native American artifacts around here.

My treasure hunting buddy and I were searching an area of Central Florida today and came up with 3 very interesting bowls. No, they weren't metal - but a molded clay. She found 1 and I found the other two. They were discovered in soft sand, 3 to 6 inches deep - below an ancient oak; in an area...
