I was out searching a river today in Oklahoma looking for bottles, fossils, artifacts, etc and I came across this little thing. Does anyone know what it is? Feels like stone and has decent weight like stone. Not sure if it's native or if it's a sliver of a crinoid or something else. I've...
I finally talked brother into coming out to a couple of my favorite old haunts. Not my best day out, but many tools, broken points, and a few intact projectile points found. Lots of worked edged tools, knives, scrapers, etc.

Hi all, I am 20 years old and just bought my first metal detector (Garrett Ace 250) last night. I am super excited to go treasure hunting again. I had a little kid one when I was very young, and I would always go out with my grandpa. He gave my dad and I his old detector, but I really wanted to...
